</p><p>By now it should be quite clear that we're not simply living through a rough patch of time, but that we are in it for the long run. Rampant corruption, civil unrest, financial turmoil, media manipulation etc. are all too relevant symptoms of our world today.</p><p>Should we consider the current geopolitical conflicts and the likelihood of escalation - involving the biggest armies on the planet - there's plenty of reason to be concerned. Because the dark forces that are steering this civilization seems hell bent on driving it into the ground - sledgehammer style. </p><p>For good and for worse.<br /></p><p>How it will go down specifically is the big question. Will we see nuclear warheads detonate over cities or will torches and pitch-forks against local governments suffice? Rest assured, we can at least agree that this godless-fake money-child slavery-mindless consumption-debt based-war mongering society is crumbling. </p><p>As the media apparatus is part of the structure, it's incapable of giving an honest estimation of the situation - past, present, future included. Instead I have found that the system that all of humanity have been using since the dawn of time, <i>astrology</i>, is far more efficient as a tool to get an objective grasp of current and coming affairs. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/g_gmNDqeDwA?si=NoJOkzhmkJ_GHdp2" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Astrological forecast with Gordon White and Austin Coppock concerning what's in store for us the first six months of 2024.</span></p><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9M_80DaZpQE?si=NvoMtLW2Otduhhrx" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Cam White interviewing Gordon White regarding the next decades of Pluto being in Aquarius.</span></p>As I don't want this post to be about space weather I won't extrapolate further on the topic. However, I do recommend giving the videos a chance, as well as keeping an eye out for <a href="http://www.runesoup.com">Gordon White</a>'s and Austin Coppock's astrological forecasts (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aX9-gHayCEs">they foretold the Russia-Ukraine conflict</a> when no one had a clue) and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@camwhiteastro">Cam White</a> in general. <p></p><p style="text-align: center;">***</p><p style="text-align: left;">Having the collapse scenario in mind, I would now like to shine a light on what I consider to be the news story of the decade: the MH370 videos. Most of you might recall the Malaysian Airlines plane that made world headlines when it vanished from the face of the earth in March 2014. </p><p style="text-align: left;">I even wrote <a href="https://www.solnedgang.se/2015/09/den-sista-flygningen.html">an article</a> about it in my Swedish blog because of the excessive amount of question marks surrounding the story. Admittedly I couldn't draw any conclusions at the time but since then I have been strongly leaning towards classified technology being involved in the case. </p><p style="text-align: left;">As it turns out, two leaked videos show MH370 being intercepted by three flying orbs before disappearing into a portal. One of them was shot by a satellite camera, the other was recorded by a drone. Both show the exact same thing from different perspectives. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='389' height='323' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dyJ_IgPsaGtZ_XWchQ-P7Vq-fCgf7uZiGy3Ywtj75GVNywElcBtKrXeccNFt9NY6QTwmkYCkwDPnJaNhsS5EA' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">A side by side comparison of the leaked vids.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div>The videos surfaced on the Internet shortly after the disappearance (time span 4 max 72 days), but didn't gain any attention until earlier this year. <a href="https://twitter.com/JustXAshton">Ashton Forbes</a> is the main guy responsible for reviving the story and his work is exceptional.

He could have been lying, or maybe he was telling it truthfully not knowing he was being lied to.

During the last years of his life he apparently told the audience at several lectures that there exist technology within the most classified military industrial programs, that could be straight out of Sci-Fi. </p><blockquote>“There is an error in the equations, and we have figured it out, and now know how to travel to the stars, and it won’t take a lifetime to do it [...] There are many in the intelligence community who would like to see this stay in the black, and not see the light of day” (source: UCLA School of Engineering Alumni speech 3/23/93)<br /><br />“I wish I could tell you about the projects we are currently working on. They are both fascinating and fantastic. They call for technologies once only dreamed of by science fiction writers”. (source: AIAA lecture Atlanta, Ga. September 7-9 1988)</blockquote><p>Naturally many have attributed those quotes to hearsay, ignoring the fact that there were people there who witnessed the whole thing, among others engineer <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWn8QbBXCk8">Jan Harzan</a>, who used to be head of MUFON. According to the highly respected aerospace journalist <a href="https://www.coasttocoastam.com/guest/goodall-james-93547/">James Goodall</a>, he had a phone conversation with Rich just shortly before his passing, in which he said:</p><blockquote>“Jim, we have things out in the desert that are fifty years beyond what you can comprehend. If you have seen it on Star Wars or Star Trek, we’ve been there, done that, or decided it wasn’t worth the effort. They have about forty-five hundred people at Lockheed Skunk Works. What have they been doing for the last 18 or 20 years? They’re building something.”</blockquote><p>Let us also not forget that Donald Rumsfeld the day before 9/11 made a speech in which he admitted that $2.3 <i>trillion</i> dollars of the Department of Defense could not be properly accounted for. [<a href="https://www.reuters.com/fact-check/rumsfeld-did-not-reveal-loss-23-trillion-day-before-911-2023-09-14/">LINK</a>] That's an incomprehensible amount of money. </p><p>Corruption and recklessness aside, a lot of it obviously went into black projects. The question is how far those top secret technologies goes. Bear in mind that we are talking about trillions and decades here. </p><p style="text-align: center;">***</p><p>If I was asked a year ago of my prognosis I wouldn't have been very optimistic. But now that the MH370 footage has established a solid footing, I would say that the ball is officially rolling. How fast and for how long only time will tell.<br /><br /><span style="text-align: left;">The point I'm trying to make is that even though the good times are past, and that escalation of war, economic chaos etc. etc. are imminent, we still have the x factor to take into account. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;">Remember that the collapse is also going to involve the academic institutions and most certainly the physics departments too. This will crush the materialistic dogma and pave the way for a more correct and, dare I say, magical understanding of the world.</p><p style="text-align: left;">How long this progress will take depends on how much exposure of the technology, that already has been developed through these different principles, will get.

The Golden Record</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Back in 1977, NASA came to the conclusion that the satellites Voyager 1 and 2, both destined for the outer reaches of our Solar system, should carry with them a couple of LPs featuring the sounds of planet Earth. So they gave a team the task of putting together a music playlist that would be inscribed on one of the records. Needless to say, the selection could've been more varied. Especially considering it was the late 70's. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicqm7qoVlJ9SpiaqeENinzveBAw27mg6NNseqduKWRkm5-Uc-ke8P-_Fqw_gxpcwNGYAQJ4ktvPMsoDFHVEiorrNcov8dOsK6FxvKeHJrksvBEAaglvF20WncVcdV5XHGOLLUasej57bE/s1320/imagesvoyager20171201voyager_record20171201-1.width-1320.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="742" data-original-width="1320" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicqm7qoVlJ9SpiaqeENinzveBAw27mg6NNseqduKWRkm5-Uc-ke8P-_Fqw_gxpcwNGYAQJ4ktvPMsoDFHVEiorrNcov8dOsK6FxvKeHJrksvBEAaglvF20WncVcdV5XHGOLLUasej57bE/w400-h225/imagesvoyager20171201voyager_record20171201-1.width-1320.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">I really can't quarrel about the traditional folk representation, but as far as the rest goes a good third of the tracks is western classical music, Beethoven even gets two tracks and Bach three (!). Of course, the whole thing was never meant to be taken seriously, predominantly serving as a PR stunt, but it still jerks me that the only tracks that wasn't in the classical or indigenous folk genre, was Johnny B.

Dissing Cydonia</h3><p style="text-align: left;">The year was 1976 and the Viking 1 probe had just completed a lap around Mars.

Unfortunately someone deemed the landing spot too risky and therefore changed it to a place far away. 50 years and a truckload of rovers later, not a single one has even <i>tried </i>to check it out. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Just a big goddamn tease.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">3. Losing Stuff</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">When I tell people that we have lost the technology to go to the Moon, they roll their eyes and go on to explain that the reason we haven't gone back since the early 70's, is simply because it was too expensive. Assuming this being true, it merely explains why we stopped going. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">However, the fact of the matter is that public announcements have confirmed that the tech used by the Apollo missions indeed has been <i>lost</i>. Meaning that even if we wanted to recreate the space shuttles used by Armstrong and Co., we couldn't. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Here's Don Pettit, a NASA Astronaut, confirming the tech demise.</p><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/MpZyHvr6Y2M" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></div><p style="text-align: justify;">This wouldn't be so noteworthy, if our space faring tech was just as good, if not considerably better, today. But it isn't even close. And I would need to see a lot more, than billionaires pretending that the mid-layer of our atmosphere is outer cosmos, until I'm convinced that the <b>know-how</b> hasn't disappeared a long with the <b>nuts and bolts</b>. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">As if that wasn't enough, the original Apollo 11 telemetry tapes, i.e. the raw Moon footage Houston got before transmitting it to the world, doesn't exist anymore. According to themselves it was erased or taped over. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVGupF3jX_Ouf6z7cqKarLy9kHZehkVHwS4OzdxD20Fxc0QGUa_Dg9H7Pf9iCdc02f-q2g7hyphenhyphen0UEH1ZdrxRBQ6jKEPO55jjb5Yzc4jXn8WrlrK1mX_GPVDTSv3bST5NPo-edvHCZCelcI/s749/tapes.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="352" data-original-width="749" height="188" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVGupF3jX_Ouf6z7cqKarLy9kHZehkVHwS4OzdxD20Fxc0QGUa_Dg9H7Pf9iCdc02f-q2g7hyphenhyphen0UEH1ZdrxRBQ6jKEPO55jjb5Yzc4jXn8WrlrK1mX_GPVDTSv3bST5NPo-edvHCZCelcI/w400-h188/tapes.png" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">What kind of headline is that anyway? <br />And who has ever claimed this to be a mystery?</span></span></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p style="text-align: justify;">In this extremely convoluted article on NASA's official website, called <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/feature/not-unsolved-mysteries-the-lost-apollo-11-tapes">Not-Unsolved Mysteries: The Lost Apollo 11 Tapes</a>, they give the impression that all is fine, nothing is amiss; though if one reads it carefully, they </p><p style="text-align: justify;">i) do admit that they lost the <i>original </i>tapes.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">ii) but they found footage in a CBS News archive showing what Houston transmitted, ergo</p><p style="text-align: justify;">iii) no Moon footage has been lost.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">thus spinning the original query into something else, then pretending that a solution has been satisfactory given.

Funny enough, I have have never mentioned perhaps the most striking instance of a BH behaving badly: namely, the G2 debacle. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">In 2006 astronomers discovered a huge dusty cloud in the vicinity of Sagittarius A*, also known as Milky Way's galactic center, which as we all know is assumed to be a super massive BH. As the years went by, the gas cloud, named G2, was seen drifting closer and closer to the center; and this naturally got the scientific world very excited. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Because according to the theories the cloud would get ripped a part and sucked into the hole, or something like that.

In one of them they simulated the traditional singularity and in another one they replaced it with a fluffy ball of dark matter. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Of course, nobody knows what dark matter is, so the team took the liberty of constructing it out of so called "darkinos". A particle that so far resides in a purely hypothetical realm and therefore has the very practical advantage of having whatever properties one ascribes to it. Here's a quote from the <a href="https://www.livescience.com/fluffy-ball-darkinos-center-milky-way.html">livescience article</a>:</span></p><blockquote style="text-align: justify;"></blockquote><blockquote><blockquote style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">[...] The team of astrophysicists, led by Eduar Antonio Becerra-Vergara of the International Center for Relativistic Astrophysics in Italy, found that if they replaced the supermassive black hole with a ball of darkinos, and those darkino particles had the right mass and velocity, they could replicate all the observed motion of the S-stars. In some cases, their model could do even better than the vanilla black hole calculations at matching the observed orbits. </span></blockquote><blockquote style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">But that result doesn't mean much. The black hole model is exceedingly simple: You just need to plug in two numbers, the black hole mass and spin, to predict how the S-stars should behave. <b>But the darkino model has many more parameters, allowing for more fine-tuning, and the researchers found the best possible combination of darkino properties.</b> [...] (My bold)</span></blockquote></blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">In short: they use a computer simulation, throw in object X including a few extra parameters. Then continue to tweak its properties as they see fit until they have more harmonious results. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">That's some serious science for ya'll. </span></p><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Shots fired</span></h3><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Although I welcome the fact that someone in the <a href="https://www.oxfordreference.com/view/10.1093/oi/authority.20110803100447770">scientism</a><i> </i>establishment finally entertains the idea that the object in the the middle of our galaxy might not be a black hole after all, I have to say that it's a little disappointing to see that they want to replace it with more Standard model woo woo. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">But be that as it may, there is good reason to see this as positive news. Not only does G2 get some well deserved spotlight again, but apparently some people in the astrophysics departments have a hard time letting it go as well. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The fact that they try to use the deeply problematic dark matter as a band-aid in this case could be interpreted as a sign of desperation. In doing so, they unintentionally call into question some fundamental aspects of the very same model they try to save; and as icing on the cake, they are directly poo-pooing the last years Nobel Prize in Physics. </span>How, you might ask.

[<a href="https://gizmodo.com/new-york-times-casually-drops-another-story-about-how-a-1844491014">LINK</a>]</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Since then it has been somewhat quiet, but last week things started cooking again. In a period of a few days some serious spotlight was put on the topic again. Here's the most noteworthy ones</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">60 Minutes</h3><p style="text-align: center;"> <iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ZBtMbBPzqHY" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><h3 style="text-align: left;">CNN</h3><p style="text-align: center;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/azZ4XAZuVk4" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Fox News</h3><p style="text-align: center;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1MbJpTQD2Uk" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><p>Even ex-president Obama came out of the woodworks to give his take on the phenomenon</p><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/7-q6hcQ25Gg" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><div style="text-align: justify;">Now with the exception of Obama's statement, the rest of the clips emphasize the potential <i>threat </i>of these unknown vehicles, or UAP's (Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon), as they prefer to call them. In one segment they're even thought of as Chinese or Russian technology. </div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">They also have in common that they treat the subject as if it is something relatively <i>new</i>,<i> </i>even though that it is painstakingly clear for anyone who has done the slightest bit of research*, that the UFO phenomenon has been with us for <i>at least</i> the beginning of the 20th century, and likely far longer than so - if not since the very beginning. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Anyway, if they were at threat to us, they sure are taking their sweet time to make a move. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">What also bothers me is the quality of these leaked videos. I mean amateurs have captured way better footage with hand held cameras as far back as the 90's. In fact they don't look more impressive than the grainy UFO videos from the NASA missions in the 80's. [<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTizXU2N_uU">LINK</a>]</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The question therefore remains: what the hell is this sudden push to get us wary about UFO's all about? There's no reason to feel threatened, but nevertheless this is how they choose the frame it. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">As I mentioned in the beginning, the group that got the ball rolling, TTSA (To The Stars Academy) is practically run by the Bigelow group.

As I have already invested a lot of time* digging into the chicanery going on in particle physics and cosmology, it didn't come as a surprise that the powers that be continues to re-enforce the model which has been promoted for almost a hundred years. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">The prize was split: one part going to two astronomers for cosmological observations, and one part going to Roger Penrose, for, as the Nobel Prize committee put it: "the discovery that black hole formation is a robust prediction of the general theory of relativity"</p><p style="text-align: justify;">In this post I'm going to focus on the philosophical aspects of Mr. Penrose's theoretical discoveries. The so called Penrose diagrams, together with certain paragraphs from the committees paper, will serve as the objects of interest. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">My conclusions will also serve as fodder for a deeper critique concerning the intellectual and existential prison brought upon us by the old world of classic European imperialism. </p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Diving into Darkness</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">I will now quote text and pictures from the paper followed by my own comments. </p><div><div><b><div class="separator" style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqrowkArpBIJ1z5A0mS4rvF7C6v40REYcWAn9fle7R5zeY-6gel_UUAfaE5x7b5CYEkxu7kYLG_9nbAzpNzmi20ZIJTDytrKATdf9fK5Jtn8i83ogyyoPjLnUEEfF1yF1XZMTt-Wp0X78/s608/black+hole.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="417" data-original-width="608" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqrowkArpBIJ1z5A0mS4rvF7C6v40REYcWAn9fle7R5zeY-6gel_UUAfaE5x7b5CYEkxu7kYLG_9nbAzpNzmi20ZIJTDytrKATdf9fK5Jtn8i83ogyyoPjLnUEEfF1yF1XZMTt-Wp0X78/s16000/black+hole.png" /></a><span style="text-align: left;"> </span></div></b></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Comment:</b> I mentioned in my post <a href="http://www.psydonia.com/2019/05/the-hole-story.html">The Hole Story</a>, that the concept of time as well as space are both abstract ideas, which to this date have no physical definition.

How come they get away with murder? I would speculate that the problem is a deeply rooted cultural one, in which we (mainly modern western society) have been conditioned to think of time in a very specific way, mainly: that it can exist as a separate object and that it is linear with pre-, now and post-qualities - perhaps that it even has a direction.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Because we are so used to think of time in this way, we accept the ideas above, as we think we grasp the gist of them. Or so we fool ourselves to think. Because if one's understanding is fundamentally flawed, everything that follows will inevitably be contaminated. </p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">In reality, this way of thinking about time is very new. Following the enlightenment and the deconstruction of the grand Cosmos as nothing more than a gigantic clockwork. In the spirit of that era, the British empire invented Greenwich Mean Time in 1675, which still serves as the standard reference time globally. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh-HIn71yiSV16zWG7etKU8yFUwWwPijyHkU9XH-DkN-ji1UPQzoBqZjSU6vLQb2DDZ9lcA06DVRQSg48mkVH3Q_6n1al3FcdBjxAttczSNUBlRA30ANo5jSswlThqKCtIwdXBPJW2baw/s482/timezones.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="402" data-original-width="482" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh-HIn71yiSV16zWG7etKU8yFUwWwPijyHkU9XH-DkN-ji1UPQzoBqZjSU6vLQb2DDZ9lcA06DVRQSg48mkVH3Q_6n1al3FcdBjxAttczSNUBlRA30ANo5jSswlThqKCtIwdXBPJW2baw/s320/timezones.png" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Time Zones, in their brilliant splendor. </td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />Imagine Sumerian or Aboriginal culture concocting something similar ...

Preface</h3>
<br />
With the exception of the Sun, our Moon is probably the object of our skies that we take for granted the most. But in comparison to the Sun, which is a fairly common type of star in the observable universe, our Moon is not only unique, but perplexingly unique.<br />

This article will first and foremost focus on the factual aspects of our heavenly neighbor, as they alone quite clearly demonstrate the anomalous nature of it. Because it further adds to the mystery, and because it's fun, a couple of images of intriguing objects will be featured at the end.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Origins</h3>
<br />
In spite of the many manned and unmanned space expeditions, we still don't understand how it originated. The main hypothesis is, that it is a piece of Earth that broke off in an ancient collision with another heavenly body.<br />
<br />

<br />
Rest assured, this is merely a hypothesis which despite its many problems - the main one being the different composition of volatile elements in the planetary crusts [<a href="https://www.lpi.usra.edu/meetings/origin98/pdf/4045.pdf">LINK1</a>] [<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JjIpT8IPxE">LINK2</a>] - it still is the most favored idea in mainstream astronomy.<br />
<br />
Of course the scientific establishment would never ever consider an artificial origin, even though there exist compelling evidence which might suggest the possibility of our Moon being a construct. Without jumping to conclusions, let us examine the facts as they are being presented to us by our space agencies.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
Odd ball out</h3>
<br />
Our Moon is very different from the rest of the moons in our solar system, which in Mars' case either tend to be small, uneven rocks, or, looking at Jupiter and Saturn, the size of small planets.<br />
<br />
The Moon, being bigger than Pluto, is the fifth biggest satellite in our solar system. As bodies of this magnitude are only seen around gas giants, and with Earth as the one exception, it is by far the biggest moon compared to the size of the planet.<br />
<br />
It's 27% the size (circumference) of the Earth, thus making the ratio 1:4. As a comparison the ratio between Io and Jupiter is roughly 1:5000.<br />

<br />
By the way: its size in percentage, ~27.3% (of Earth's circumference) [<a href="https://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/factsheet/moonfact.html">LINK</a>], matches its revolution period around the planet of 27.3 days very neatly.<br />
<br />
Because of its big nature, it's sometimes referred to as our "secondary planet"; however, as big as it may be, it only holds a meek 1.2% percent of the Earths mass. That means that one would need roughly 81 of them to reach the same weight.<br />
<br />
This suggests that our Moon either is extremely porous or <b>hollow</b>. To better understand the physical make-up, Apollo astronauts set up seismometers on the surface during their missions. Over 12 000 so called 'Moonquakes' were recorded up until 1977.<br />

<br />
A part from the expected vibrations caused by meteorites, the data surprisingly revealed that most of the moonquakes occurred very deep underground, much deeper than on Earth. More striking, however, was the fact that they occurred every 27 days, like clockwork.<br />
<br />
In fact, the dean of science journalism, Walter Sullivan of the New York Times, described it as being as unlikely as having the stock market rise/fall on the same date every month.*<br />
<br />
The only explanation so far is to ascribe the regularity to the monthly tidal stresses, though we have never detected anything similar on Earth - A definite consensus as to the nature of this remarkable phenomenon remains to be reached.<br />

<br />
Even stranger, the seismic data also recorded 28 shallow quakes. Reaching up to 5.5 on the Richter scale they would've definitively been felt by any astronaut standing on the surface. This type of activity is usually explained by the friction created by tectonic plates, but the Moon doesn't have them, so their nature are still unclear.<br />
<br />
To top it all off Apollo 12 deliberately smashed a lunar probe into the surface to study the seismic effect it would have. To their astonishment, the Moon kept reverberating for nearly an hour. As Clive R. Neal, associate professor of civil engineering and geological sciences, describes it on nasa.gov "<i>it was ringing like a bell</i>."

A similar experiment was done by Apollo 13 with the Saturn rocket booster, this time creating a much bigger collision resulting in a 7 minute build up to a peak with a reverberation lasting <i>3 hours and 20 minutes</i>. [<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/1970/04/16/archives/apollo-13-rocket-caused-a-moonquake.html">LINK</a>] It is worth mentioning that even the biggest quakes on Earth stops shaking after a couple of minutes.<br />

About a year ago, <a href="https://phys.org/news/2019-06-mass-anomaly-moon-largest-crater.html">an article</a> on phys.org made a big splash proclaiming to have detected a gigantic "metallic anomaly" residing under the surface of the biggest moon crater. In some instances it was even referred to as a "deep structure". Whether it's just remnants from a meteorite, as they speculate, or something else, is still up for debate.<br />

<br />
On another note: generally speaking only planets and suns have a strong enough magnetic field to shield them from solar and cosmic radiation; but in 1999 NASA's Lunar Prospector satellite forced us to rethink this idea.<br />
<br />

<br />
It was on a mission to map the magnetosphere of our neighbor, when it strangely enough found a small area (10 km) capable of generating a local magnetic field with enough power to shield radiation, thus making it the smallest magnetosphere ever to be found.<br />
<br />
Except for these "magnetic rocks" (NASA's explanation), only cosmic bodies the size of planets have been recorded to generate such type of fields. [<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100527121330/http://lunar.arc.nasa.gov/results/magelres.htm">LINK</a>] Do note that Mars, Venus and Pluto all lack them.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
Against all odds</h3>
<br />
Perhaps the most astonishing characteristics of our heavenly neighbor are the ones we observe with our naked eyes from the surface of the Earth.<br />
<br />
Most people don't realize it, but the Moon actualy mimics the movements of our Sun very closely, and would one just take the time to observe the heavens from the same spot on a regular basis, one would find that the full Moon is at its highest and brightest in midwinter, when the Sun is at its lowest and dimmest, and the reverse is true for midsummer.<br />
<br />
One would also find that at each spring and autumn equinox, the Sun and the Moon rise and set at the same proximity in our sky. To demonstrate this remarkable coincidence, have a look at these pictures I've borrowed from the book <i>Who built the Moon?</i>**:<br />

In my opinion the most striking of all the Moon peculiarities is the fact that it is 400 times smaller than the Sun, but by some inconceivably unlikely randomness, is placed exactly 400 times closer.<br />
<br />
This of course means that it is the exact same size as the Sun from our point of view, which results in the occasional total solar eclipse.<br />
<br />
The wondrous unlikelihood that allows for this event to take place often gets overshadowed (no pun intended) by the sheer awesomeness of the happening itself. But if one simply takes a couple of minutes to ponder what it really implies, perhaps one would also realize that this probably doesn't take place on any other planet in the whole galaxy, nor anywhere nearby.<br />

Anomalies, Structures, Photos</h3>
<br />
Trust me when I say that there exist a plethora of footage featuring anomalous objects on and in the vicinity of the Moon. Although I am almost perversely fascinated by whistle blower accounts mentioning NASA airbrushing out alien buildings/domes from the photos taken by their satellites [<a href="https://medium.com/remote-viewing-community-magazine/ingo-swanns-lunar-alien-viewing-confirmed-sergeant-karl-wolf-speaks-e9e67c26b99a">LINK</a>, <a href="https://www.express.co.uk/news/science/629282/Codename-Santa-Claus-Three-UFOs-were-on-moon-during-lunar-landings-claims-NASA-worker">LINK2</a>], or by astronauts allegedly spilling the beans in regards to what they saw on the surface [<a href="https://www.syti.net/UFOSightings.html">LINK</a>, <a href="https://youtu.be/IlKMe_DQvTg?t=440">LINK</a>2]. I will here stick to a handful of the, in my opinion, best <i>photographs</i>.<br />

<br />
In this picture, take by either Armstrong/Aldrin on the Apollo 11 mission, we see a close up of what looks like a rocket shaped object with an exhaust flame.<br />
<br />
As usually is the case with NASA, images featuring anomalies of this kind either gets the silent treatment or at best, are explained away as being smudge on the camera lens, problems with image processing etc.<br />
<br />
I can only encourage the reader to take a closer look at the <a href="https://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/images/print/AS11/43/6506.jpg">original picture</a> on NASA's homepage (the "missile" can be found to the upper left) and contemplate if for yourself.<br />

Richard C. Hoagland is mostly known for his ground breaking book<i> The Monuments on Mars, </i>in which he analyzes Mars anomalies in meticulous detail. But he also gets credit for discovering some pretty amazing objects on the the Moon.<br />
<br />
The best one is to be found on a picture taken in 1967 by Lunar Orbiter 3 called called "III-84M". Zoomed in, a tower of some kind, dubbed "The Shard", seems to be casting a long shadow in an otherwise barren landscape.<br />
<br />
So far the only "debunking" I've come over stems from rationalwiki, where they say: <i>"Lunar Orbiter used a wet film development process, and there are splatters all over its imagery as a consequence (fluids + zero-g = random messes).".</i><br />
<br />
Of course it can't be entirely ruled out that we are seeing "a random mess of splatter", but in light of the similar findings captured on other parts, by other missions, it smells of a cop-out. The original photo can be viewed <a href="https://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/imgcat/hires/lo3_m84.gif">here</a>.<br />

If this indeed is some kind of tower, it has to be several miles high. I've really tried to find any explanations as to the nature of it, alas to no avail.<br />

In 2004, a researcher named J.P. Skipper made some astonishing findings when scrutinizing the pictures taken during the US military (BMDO) project called <i>Clementine</i>. The picture above is just one of several in which one clearly can see tall objects blurred out.<br />
<br />
No official comment has ever been given as to why these images have been edited, perhaps because it's too hard to explain them away as mere random processing artifacts. Though it is hard to imagine that these ones simply fell through the cracks. A deliberate soft-leak seems more likely.<br />
<br />
The Department of Defense has since then taken down the website with the originals. However, the homepage has been archived by J.P. Skipper; you'll find it, a long with many other findings of high interest, <a href="http://www.marsanomalyresearch.com/evidence-reports/2004/067/moon-towers.htm">here</a>.<br />

<h4>
LCROSS</h4>
<br />
In 2000 NASA sent a probe on a mission to crash into the Moon's surface. The results were somewhat unexpected and maybe it was because they didn't disclose the whole truth on why they chose the spot they did.<br />
<br />
The <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVYKjR1sJY4">public video feed</a> of the event was a travesty in so far that you can't really see anything but blurry pixels. But in one of the pictures taken from NASA controls, an interesting observation can be made.<br />

If one looks closer at this image of two NASA employees, we see that the area in which the probe crashed seemingly features a non-natural structure. Perhaps it's just pareidolia, but one has to wonder if this picture isn't in fact another soft disclosure of some sorts.

Ever since man began pointing telescopes at our Moon, the Aristarchus crater has been a source of an inexplicable glow. For 350+ years now, we have descriptions of a blue fluorescent light at times surrounding the crater.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transient_lunar_phenomenon">Transient lunar phenomena</a> i.e. random changing of light/color of a certain lunar area is well known albeit not fully understood. And the Aristarchus crater is the spot which have the most activity.<br />

So far, the only suggestion that has been seriously proposed is that the coloration might have something to do with radon 222 outgassing. A colorless nuclear gas. If that's the case, there sure seems to be a lot of it, in many colors, as this list of observations, from John Lear's <a href="https://www.thelivingmoon.com/43ancients/41Group_Lunar_FYEO/02files/FYEO_Lunar_02.html">great website</a>, evidently suggests:<br />

Luna 13, anomalous objects</h3>

In December 1966, Luna 13, an unmanned Russian space probe, became the third space craft to successfully land on the Moon. The first pictures it took features two objects that to this day no one has been able to explain.<br />

<br />
The most logical explanation, that they are parts of either the Luna 13 lander or some other man made probe hasn't been proven. In fact, the thorough research that has been done has had no success in matching them to anything of ours.<br />
<br />
So, what are they doing there? Experts are still asking this very question.<br />

<br /></div>
Now, with most of the facts on the table, wouldn't it at least be fair to entertain the idea that our Moon might not entirely be the natural object our space agencies wants us to believe? I think so, and I also think that, without making any definitive conclusions, it's safe to say that it is a very anomalous object in and of itself.<br />
<br />
What really lurks on its surface remains a secret for now, but amidst the rocks and lunar dust, surely there's <i>something </i>out of the ordinary<i> </i>there, wouldn't you think? Perhaps we will get some answers in a few years when SpaceX begins to go there.<br />
<br />
Until then, let's at least keep an open mind.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Curiously, the gravitational pull within the BH's outer edge, i.e. event horizon, is so strong, that even light can't escape from it. Which means the picture in question is more exactly portraying obscured light around a black dot.</div>

Case closed? Actually, some tantalizing arguments can and has been made against the existence of BHs. <a href="https://www.thunderbolts.info/">The Thunderbolts Project</a>, proponents of the <a href="https://www.electricuniverse.info/">Electric Universe</a> theory, have systematically collected and evaluated much of the scientific progress of the mainstream cosmology during the last decades.

<h3>
A brief introduction</h3>
</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are <a href="http://hubblesite.org/reference_desk/faq/answer.php.id=62&cat=exotic">four types of black holes</a>: stellar, intermediate, supermassive, and miniature. The most commonly known way a black hole forms is by stellar death. [...]</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If its [star] mass collapses into an infinitely small point, a black hole is born. Packing all of that bulk—many times the mass of our own sun—into such a tiny point gives black holes their powerful gravitational pull. [...]</div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Supermassive black holes, predicted by Einstein's general theory of relativity, can have masses equal to billions of suns; these cosmic monsters likely hide at the centers of most galaxies. [...] [<a href="https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/space/universe/black-holes/">LINK</a>]</div>
</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to the general consensus, Schwarzschild and Einstein* (indirectly) pioneered the theory of black holes in the 1910s, but it was first in the 50-60's physicists would give the idea a name and some attention. Some years later, Stephen Hawking took it to the next level when he applied a complex mathematical model to the concept and thus provided (theoretical) proof of the first singularity theory. <span style="background-color: white;">[</span><a href="https://www.physicsoftheuniverse.com/topics_blackholes_theory.html" style="background-color: white;">LINK</a><span style="background-color: white;">]</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A singularity is a one dimensional point residing in every black hole with an extreme amount of mass (<a href="http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/cosmos/s/supermassive+black+hole">possibly multibillion times our sun</a>) and infinitely small volume[<a href="https://www.skyandtelescope.com/astronomy-resources/how-big-is-a-black-hole/">LINK</a>], "<i>where density and gravity become infinite and space-time curves infinitely, and where the laws of physics as we know them cease to operate."</i> [<a href="https://www.physicsoftheuniverse.com/topics_blackholes_singularities.html">LINK</a>]<i>. </i></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Of course one could dwell upon the purely theoretical problems considering:<br />
I. Finite mass existing in zero volume, with infinite density and infinite gravity as <i>one </i>object.<br />
II. The rationale of assuming space-time - the combination of two abstract concepts - as something physical.<br />
<br />
But rather than doing that, the following segment will focus on observational data published on the most respected platforms in the field. [<i>Please note that the words that appear in <b>bold </b>in the quotes, are edited by me.]</i><br />

Nothing can escape from a black hole, but <a href="https://www.physicsoftheuniverse.com/topics_blackholes_theory.html">Hawking radiation</a> and so called <a href="http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/cosmos/G/Galactic+Jets">galactic jets</a> supposedly do.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Magnetic fields have been thought to account for the energy needed for the particle jets to be beamed away from the singularity rather than being sucked in. In <a href="https://phys.org/news/2017-12-black-holes-magnetism-surprisingly-wimpy.html">this article</a> from 2017 a study of a black hole called V404 Cygni showed that it's surrounding magnetic field was in fact 400 times weaker than predicted. Study co-author Stephen Eikenberry, professor in astronomy in UF's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences admits:</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Our surprisingly low measurements will force new constraints on theoretical models that previously focused on <a href="https://phys.org/tags/strong+magnetic+fields/">strong magnetic fields</a> accelerating and directing the jet flows. We weren't expecting this, so <b>it changes much of what we thought we knew</b>."</div>
</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sophisticated computer models have also tried to explain how, but as Kyle Parfrey, postdoctoral at Berkley Labs explains, they still have a long way to go:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"The results of the new simulations are not radically different from the those of the old … simulations, which is, in some sense, reassuring," [<a href="https://www.space.com/43151-how-particles-escape-black-holes.html">LINK</a>]</blockquote>
Reassuring that they really don't know(?). Magnetic fields outside the event horizon is apparently off the table, so gravity centered cosmology, i.e. the Standard model, has no explanation as to what causes the jets.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Moving on.<br />
<br />
The black hole theory supposes that the region close to the BH is extremely harsh, with unimaginable tidal forces, x-ray radiation and ultraviolet light. A milieu completely unfavourable for <a href="https://www.spacetelescope.org/science/formation_of_stars/">star formation</a> - a process believed to begin with gas clouds slowly gaining density.</div>

A year later, in 2013, a similar observation was made in the star cluster M62. Contradicting most theorists once more. Though instead of reconsidering, Chomiuk says<br />

In this picture published in 2016 we see several super massive black holes spinning out radio jets in the same direction; a finding of utter astonishment to mainstream cosmologists as it doesn't conform to any Standard model predictions. The accidental discovery was made with deep radio imaging by researchers University of Cape Town (UCT) and University of the Western Cape (UWC) in South Africa. A quote from the article sums it up:</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Romeel Dave from UWC, who leads a team developing plans for universe simulations that could explore the growth of large-scale structure from a theoretical perspective, agrees: "This is <b>not </b>obviously expected based on our current understanding of cosmology. It's a <b>bizarre </b>finding." [<a href="http://www.astronomy.com/news/2016/04/black-holes-mysteriously-align">LINK</a>]</div>
</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Completely unrelated to galaxy alignment I will close with a quote from an article published on msutoday.msu.edu, earlier this year, when predictions not only failed to deliver, but:</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The new study finds that massive black holes form in dense starless regions that are growing rapidly, <b>turning upside down the long-accepted belief</b> that massive black hole formation was limited to regions bombarded by the powerful radiation of nearby galaxies.

</blockquote>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Presented above are six cases (and let me assure you, there are more) of studies made by mainstream cosmologists that contradicts predictions made by BH theorists. Perhaps now would be a good time to remind ourselves that when empirical data fails to correspond with a theory, the theory is by definition, <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/social-sciences/falsification">falsified</a>.<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<h3>
An alternative theory</h3>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Plasma cosmology offers an alternative to the Standard model. I will refrain from too much extrapolation and instead refer anyone curious to the following two websites, where in-depth presentations of plasma cosmology are accessible: <a href="https://www.plasma-universe.com/">Plasma-Universe</a>, <a href="http://www.bigbangneverhappened.org/">The Big Bang Never Happened</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Even though plasma cosmology differs from the electric universe theory, they both share the idea of how matter is apportioned in the universe. To give you a very simple understanding of how they differ from the current paradigm, here's an explanatory picture.</div>

Thus proposing an alternative explanation as to how galaxies are formed based on observational data in laboratories rather than numbers on a chalk board. Even if the theory so far lurks in the fringes, it should at least be taken into consideration as it has no need for "dark matter" and "dark energy". Not to mention an object with several infinitesimal properties, occupying a finite Big bang universe.<br />

<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: center;">
Is the nature of existence <i>finite </i>or <i>infinite</i>?</blockquote>
<br />
Speaking as an ardent Wittgenstein and Heidegger fan and a serious student of metaphysical teachings for more than a decade, I am inclined to regard this very question as the most fundamental philosophical query there is.<br />
<br />
However daunting at first, by approaching it with the principle of <a href="http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/General/occam.html">Occam's razor</a> as well as the <a href="https://chem.libretexts.org/Textbook_Maps/Physical_and_Theoretical_Chemistry_Textbook_Maps/Supplemental_Modules_(Physical_and_Theoretical_Chemistry)/Thermodynamics/The_Four_Laws_of_Thermodynamics/First_Law_of_Thermodynamics">1st law of thermodynamics</a>, some convincing deductions - which in my opinion are of unfathomable magnitude - are closer at hand than one might think.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
*</h3>
</div>
Let's assume both scenarios.<br />
<blockquote>
(I) Existence is of a linear nature, it has a beginning and shall come to an end. </blockquote>
<blockquote>
(II) All is part of an infinite source, without beginning nor end. </blockquote>
Of the two possibilities, (I) poses us with a direct problem, namely the follow up question: how does <i>nothing </i>become <i>something</i>?<br />
<br />
Theory (II) on the other hand, doesn't contain any apparent fallacies.<br />

"Entities should not be multiplied unnecessarily" is the original rule of simplicity, or if you will, <a href="http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/General/occam.html">Occam's razor</a>. The principle suggests that out of two competing theories, the simplest one should be favored. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Thus, if one were to use the principle when considering scenario (I) and (II), <b>the latter one is preferable</b>. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This law falsifies scenario (I) and confirms the infinite nature of existence by proclaiming that energy has always existed.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Assuming the correctness of the law, the conclusion must be made that energy is eternal in nature. <b>Energy therefore can not be finite. </b></div>

If one was to take mentioned results as evidence for the infinite nature of existence, one could further deduce that there can only be <i>one </i>infinity as many-ness is a finite concept. <b>Nothing can truly be separated from infinity.</b></div>

We ourselves are evidence that <i>consciousness </i>is part of this one infinity.<br />

The defintion is very straight forward, yet the term is heavily associated with baseless and often delirious theorizing. It has even reached a point today, where questioning an established explanation can be shot down with the mere proclamation "Here comes the conspiracies ...".<br />
<br />
If one studies history, one will find that this is an unfair belittling of the term. As a matter of fact conspiracies are common throughout the ages - our modern times not the least bit excluded.</div>

<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russo-Swedish_War_(1788%E2%80%931790)">The Russo-Swedish War</a>. In the year 1788, during a time of lacking popularity, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gustav_III_of_Sweden">the Swedish king Gustav III</a> thought that a war could boost his reputation. However, he was not permitted to declare war without the support of the estates, which, at the time, didn't like the idea. He therefore ordered a tailor in Stockholm to manufacture a handful of Russian military uniforms.<br />
<br />
They were worn by Swedish agents who sneaked over the Swedish-Russian border and opened fire at an allied outpost. The incident caused sufficient outrage for Gustav III to declare war against the Russian Empire. Ironically Gustav III self became the victim of a conspiracy when he was assassinated by his own men in 1792. </div>

<span style="color: #351c75; font-size: x-small;">King Gustav III and General Lyman L. Lemnitzer, </span><span style="color: #351c75; font-size: x-small;">Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff (1960-62),</span><span style="color: #351c75; font-size: x-small;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #351c75;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">both keen on staging acts of terrorism on their own citizens.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
230 years ago but far from the first or last time a staged attack were put into action. For a similar scenario we do not need to look far. Just a few decades ago, in 1962 to be precise, the U.S. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff* and the head of CIA put their signature on a plan called <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Northwoods">Operation Northwoods</a>.<br />
<br />
The content (the original document can be found <a href="http://www.smeggys.co.uk/operation_northwoods.php?image=01#tt">here</a>) propose a series of false flag terrorist attacks on American soil, blamed on Cuban communists in order to provoke a war against the regime. Even though it had green light from both the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the CIA, President Kennedy refused to sign it and the plan was rejected.<br />
<br />
But alas, not all shady operations had a happy ending. Here's a couple of examples of successful ones: In 1938 a group of German agents posing as polish extremists attacked a German radio station, in what is called the <a href="http://ww2today.com/the-gleiwitz-incident-and-the-first-man-to-die-in-world-war-ii">Gleiwitz incident</a>, in order to give Germany an excuse to invade Poland.<br />
<br />
In the <a href="https://www.history.com/news/the-gulf-of-tonkin-incident-50-years-ago">Gulf of Tonkin incident</a>, 1964, a non-happening was falsely reported as an unprovoked attack on American ships. Consequence? A fierce escalation of the Vietnam war.<br />
<br />
In 1932, Japanese military detonated a small railway explosion, close to the Chinese city Mukden, just as a Japanese freight train passed. Even though the explosion barely scratched the train, Japan was quick to answer the self-provoked attack with invading troops.

<span style="color: #351c75; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But a conspiracy can be more than a false-flag operation. Take the <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/interactive/2013/nov/01/snowden-nsa-files-surveillance-revelations-decoded#section/1">Snowden leaks</a> for example: documents that confirmed the existence of a global, autonomous surveillance apparatus.<br />
<br />
We also know for a fact that the US and Great Britain have been involved with both overthrowing and bellicose intermingling of foreign governments, <a href="http://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/1953_Iranian_coup_d%27%C3%A9tat">the 1953 Iranian coup d'état </a>and the <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2004/oct/07/usa.iraq1">2003 Invasion of Iraq</a> are two good examples. The actual number is <i>way higher</i> than two though, as <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/monkey-cage/wp/2016/12/23/the-cia-says-russia-hacked-the-u-s-election-here-are-6-things-to-learn-from-cold-war-attempts-to-change-regimes/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.ad655b0d863b">this Washington Post article</a> suggests.<br />

Wait a minute</h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This article was originally composed in 2015 in my <a href="http://wwblanka.blogspot.de/2015/11/konspiration.html">Swedish blog</a>, and when I started to translate it to English a year later it was just before Trump entered the White House. Alas, I wasn't nearly finished with the translation when everything took a very interesting turn. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Before we knew it the term <i>fake news</i> dominated mainstream media, a term which the media power houses launched in order to undermine both alternative news sources as well as Trumps various proclamations. The plan quickly back fired when Trump started to use it against them.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixrUBZQ3RgVSmI1f3Lj4TUHV62ACnXFpNgXs8NV27dnQBnCDMSS2XTi4JQYZ4DH88QeDabwcoQoRRQP22dUaHatyS1usObp75tVlK30yPvob5tWRXiefXpWS1RAyqHt3ui7aW-TNMN1wk/s1600/Fake-news-lover-Research-shows-fake-news-is-loved-by-Twitter-users-like-Donald-Trump-929453.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="350" data-original-width="590" height="189" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixrUBZQ3RgVSmI1f3Lj4TUHV62ACnXFpNgXs8NV27dnQBnCDMSS2XTi4JQYZ4DH88QeDabwcoQoRRQP22dUaHatyS1usObp75tVlK30yPvob5tWRXiefXpWS1RAyqHt3ui7aW-TNMN1wk/s320/Fake-news-lover-Research-shows-fake-news-is-loved-by-Twitter-users-like-Donald-Trump-929453.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
A <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2017/dec/08/donald-trump-russia-investigation-key-questions-latest-news-collusion-timeline">news story</a> backed by FBI, CIA, NSA etc. broke in all major channels, claiming that Russian hackers had helped Trump win the presidential election. Trump's response was to call it unsubstantiated propaganda, or if you will <i>fake news. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
No evidence was presented, so what we got was a word against word situation, where at least <i>one </i>of them had to be conspiring. Even if the term <i>conspiracy </i>per se wasn't seen much, the semantics of it had to be accepted by the general public as something happening today, on the grandest of scales.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">***</span></div>
<br />
Later it has turned out that Trump got help from the political consulting firm <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/mar/23/leaked-cambridge-analyticas-blueprint-for-trump-victory">Cambridge Analytica</a>, who apparently used the data of at least <i>50 million </i>facebook users to help Trump win the election.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="135" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/mpbeOCKZFfQ" style="text-align: center;" width="240"></iframe></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
The firm apparently have taken part in manipulating the outcome of elections in e.g. Mexico, India, Malta and Kenya. In the clip, the former CEO mentions both sex workers and fake bribes as methods to influence politicians.<br />
<br />
It is still unclear where the Russian hackers fit in.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<h3>
What remains</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
History confirms that foul play is far from something unique, but rather that it has been common practice from the very beginning.<br />
<br />
You have just been given over 15 major cases.<br />
<br />
The question remains: what are they getting away with?<br />

On the 20th of October, 1967, Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin filmed what many still hold as the best Sasquatch footage ever. But has it stood the test of time? By celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the (in)famous and enigmatic Patterson-Gimlin film let us have a well deserved fresh look at it. </h3>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<i>[This analyse will strictly deal with the footage per se. Surrounding factors like time lines, the people involved etc. are deliberately kept out of this article. For such information, the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patterson%E2%80%93Gimlin_filmhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patterson%E2%80%93Gimlin_film">english Wikipedia article</a> is recommended.]</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<br />
<h3>
The Footage</h3>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="344" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/lOxuRIfFs0w" style="text-align: start;" width="459"></iframe></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">The original video sequence from Bluff Creek, CA; as you can see, it's only in the last seconds of the footage the biped shows up.</span></span><br />
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At a first glance it looks convincing, but the shaky camera and lacking level of detail make it hard to be sure. Thankfully, digital manipulation is out of the question, thus leaving us with two possible explanations: we see a human in a suit or a genuine phenomenon not yet acknowledged or understood by our scientific institutions.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For a long time film analyst M.K.Davis enhances and stabilizes parts of the footage. The sequences he posts play a key role in this article, and ultimately in understanding the nature of this particular documentation. <span style="text-align: left;">H</span><span style="text-align: left;">is continuing work can be found on his photo journal: </span><a href="https://thedavisreport.wordpress.com/" style="text-align: left;">The Davis Report</a><span style="text-align: left;">.</span></div>
<br />
<h3>
Body ratios</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
In this first example [<a href="https://thedavisreport.wordpress.com/2016/04/27/the-patterson-bigfoot-film-more-frames-added-using-new-processing/">link</a>] the main footage has been stabilized with added frames, giving us a much more crystalline look on the object of interest.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://thedavisreport.files.wordpress.com/2016/04/patterson-film-with-transitions-reduced-25-per-cent-fast.gif?w=584" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="245" src="https://thedavisreport.files.wordpress.com/2016/04/patterson-film-with-transitions-reduced-25-per-cent-fast.gif?w=584" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Even though it gives the impression of being huge, it moves smoothly, almost mechanically forward. One might notice the peculiar gait and the abnormally long arms reaching down to it's knees. We can also see it has a pair of female breasts. If it is a suit one have to wonder why the hoaxer bothered with those, considering it must have been an unnecessary detail on an already extremely complex costume.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As mentioned the size seems significant. Thanks to a few detailed renderings made by Davis (based upon comparison photos from 1968 by John Green), we can get a pretty fair estimate.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://thedavisreport.files.wordpress.com/2016/08/mcclarin-multiwalk-cropped.gif?w=584" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="302" src="https://thedavisreport.files.wordpress.com/2016/08/mcclarin-multiwalk-cropped.gif?w=584" width="400" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The man in the picture is said to be 195 cm tall in his boots. Supposing the comparison is accurate, the suit must have been of a considerable size, worn by someone with the stature of André the Giant. [<a href="https://thedavisreport.wordpress.com/2016/08/17/the-patterson-film-how-tall-is-patty/">link</a>]. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The picture above highlights the arm length ratio compared to a human. In the footage the knuckles reaches down to the kneecaps, now for this to be possible the suit must've had arm extensions; however, the arm straightens out as the head turns to look into the camera - a feat human anatomy won't allow.</div>

<h3>
<br />The Gait</h3>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The gait is crucial. Many have pointed out that the way the entity walks not only is unnatural for a human being, but that it is straight down impossible for us to mimic. Thanks to the YouTube account <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCO1tABYyf7OHwv5hNIyckzQ">ThinkerThunker</a> we have a short but highly qualitative video outlining the anomalous aspects of it.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw2JXxOwuT-Zz5SEKQN3Nw0KcosE_SjlKKn9tLscORqYG7u48RRaWJzdNSHmYyYUq4-_ChlYCx4QCjwe3fPkTXWvSvFSFSpPtNcBqaD1BkOglcOQZg4u6273M9-_7FP6lU34vieP9EggE/s1600/shin.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="216" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw2JXxOwuT-Zz5SEKQN3Nw0KcosE_SjlKKn9tLscORqYG7u48RRaWJzdNSHmYyYUq4-_ChlYCx4QCjwe3fPkTXWvSvFSFSpPtNcBqaD1BkOglcOQZg4u6273M9-_7FP6lU34vieP9EggE/s400/shin.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
The 2 minute video analysis brings attention to the fact that the biped never fully extends its legs, and that the shin rise is way steeper than a humans. The picture is a screenshot from it.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/SRi1VLBxtZc" width="480"></iframe></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">The gait analysis. Another video of ThinkerThunker debunking a </span><span style="font-size: x-small;">supposedly "successful" </span><span style="font-size: x-small;">try </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">to replicate the walk can be seen <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nPMZEZsFlM">here</a>. </span><br />
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Imagine if one replicated the walk motion somewhat accurately. It would have to be in a huge monkey suit (with breasts), and be made to look completely natural, in order for it to be legit. </div>
</div>
<br /></div>
</div>
<h3>
Debunking attempts</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There has been numeral people calling the footage into question. Some attempts have even been made to recreate the sequence with manufactured costumes. The most elaborate try was made by BBC in the late 90's.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In an <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7UUPpN7dPU">episode of X-Creatures</a> a film team hires one of the best costume makers in Hollywood to help them recreate the happening in 1967. This still picture comparison sums up the result. </div>
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRkbaVpEPvp1yHoWjsb9-3LoCRVsff0VxyNUb4FdYCawNedAN2K_P7DhP3gg-AJDtq2-ShEfWYx7fIG_RVIHP4MjoDxNV-hRKbo_6lcJUq7QmRCwIbyqZiv6fVOZYI8x37XanNQuuc9Ls/s1600/recreatecostume.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" /></td></tr>

</tbody></table>
Even after obviously failing, they concluded that their attempt effectively debunked the PG-film (and therefore the whole Sasquatch phenomenon). This irrational way of presenting information must at best be confusing for the viewer, not to mention insulting.<br />
<br />
For an in-depth look at this particular case I recommend <a href="http://www.bfro.net/REF/THEORIES/pgfdebunkings.asp">this article</a> on BFRO.net. No attempts with a bigger budget than BBC's have been made.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Conclusion</h3>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thanks to shows like BBC's X-Creature et al. there's a wide spread "fact" that the Patterson Gimlin-footage is a hoax, but just as is the case with other mysterious phenomenon there's a lot more to it, than meets the eye of the official stand point.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In this case we do not only lack a suit, but we are seemingly unable to recreate one, even 30 years later. How one would go about to move around convincingly in such a creation is a problem we can't explore; so far we only know that no one has managed to do it without one.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Seeing as the man-in-a-suit argument is such an unsubstantiated explanation, the logical mind would have to at least, for the time being, accept the alternative explanation as being a distinct possibility: Perhaps Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin were <i>telling the truth </i>all along.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I believe that meditation is the most powerful and accessible tool for us to grow as individuals and for humanity to prosper.

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">As a person who's been meditating on a daily basis for the last 7 years, I can vouch for the gifts this practice has to offer.

<span style="font-family: inherit;">This is how I do it: I sit down on a cushion on the floor, in</span> a comfortable lotus position and keep my spine straight<span style="font-family: inherit;">.

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;">What I just said has been said by others before me. The most accurate and striking description of the practice comes from someone calling himself Hatton. <a href="http://spirit.kauwila.net/wordpress_kauilapele/110722_david_wilcock_1950s_ETs.pdf">This material</a> surfaced circa 1960. It is the foundation upon my meditation firmly rests on. </span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
[…] Proper meditation is of uppermost importance, and I should like to dwell for a moment on this subject, for proper meditation is most important in your growth. First of all, place yourself in a position that is proper for meditation. The best meditation can be had in a sitting position. Sit the body comfortably but erect, with both feet placed firmly before you. Keep the body and head erect and straight. Place the hands open and upward in the lap. Allow those racing thoughts to race. Do not try to force them to stop, but bring yourself into a relaxed feeling. Let your mind relax; do not try to control it, and you shall find these racing thoughts in time will slow, will become slower and slower until they eventually stop. And with practice, my friends, this time shall become shorter and shorter, and in due time you shall reach that state of stillness quickly, and in this state of stillness you become one with Creation and life begins to speak to you. In this stillness you can bring yourself in attunement with whatsoever you wish. In this still, very still quietness, all things can flow to you, for your mind is open and receptive to higher knowledge.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
[…] Now to some of you it may seem that it is impossible for you to relax in this position, but I say to you, my friends, that is the only true relaxation. For when the body is in positions for which it was not intended, true relaxation does not come, you cannot be receptive. Much of the Universal Energies comes to you through the spine when you are in the physical and unless the spine is erect, they do not flow. You would be amazed when this art is mastered, at what you can do; how quickly you can attune yourself in this state to anything that you desire. […]</div>
<br />
-Hatton, 15/6 -1959</blockquote>
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">In a later communication the necessity of <b>daily practice</b> gets addressed.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
[...] In the first place, it is necessary to discipline one’s self, to some extent, and set aside a certain time each day for this practice and you will never become proficient at the art of meditation unless you practice consistently. It is not enough to practice this art once a week or once a month, or even every few days, but this should become a daily ritual. For unless you do this, your progress shall be slow in mastering the art. […]</div>

In these times many are upset that Great Britain has decided to leave the union. A disappointment that seems to have it's roots in far-right propaganda which for some reason has become synonymous with EU-criticism, in particular Brexit. Confusion prevails and an in-depth look at the facts is in order. <br />
<div>
<br />
<h3>
This is (supposed to be) EU</h3>
<br /></div>
<div>
It's hard to believe that the negative opinions are in proportion to the general understanding of what the European Union actually is, i.e. an intercontinental economic and political union between 28 European member states that have "pooled"* parts of their sovereignty to the seven institutions of the European Union. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
These institutions are: the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Council">European Council</a>, the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Council_of_the_European_Union">Council of the European Union</a>, the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Parliament">European Parliament</a>, the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Commission">European Commission</a>, the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Court_of_Justice_of_the_European_Union">Court of Justice of the European Union</a>, the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Central_Bank">European Central Bank</a>, and the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Court_of_Auditors">European Court of Auditors</a>.</div>

The main goal of the union is to promote economic growth, through maintaining common policies in trade and ensuring free movement of people, goods and capital between the member states. It also aims to endorse human rights and peace both locally and around the world.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Coming up with and enforcing treaties is the method they use to meet these goals. Supposedly focus on transparency is of great importance to the decision making. Democratic principles are essential. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
All this according to the European Union itself.** </div>

<h3>
The Stark Reality</h3>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
All this sounds well and good on the paper, but in reality much is left to be desired. Let me address three core issues that gravely undermines the credibility of the European Union.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Starting off with how EU works - how the treaties are being created and adapted. A constant critique has been <b>over-complexity</b>.<br />
<br />
Please take a look at the following diagrams, the first one by the European Commission showing an over-simplified version of how the ordinary legislative procedure works, the ones beneath showing the procedure in greater detail. The fourth one shows common problems associated with legislative procedures.</div>

To understand all these steps one has to know how the institutions are connected to each other, what they are made up of and how they work, which demands serious legal understanding and knowledge of technical terminology. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Another grave problem is the widespread <b>lobbyism</b>. According to <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/may/08/lobbyists-european-parliament-brussels-corporate">The Guardian</a>, in 2014, there were 30 000 lobbyists (of which up to 80% represent industrial interests) affecting the legislation processes in Brussels. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As the purpose of lobbyists is to mold juridical decision-making to their advantage, one has to ask how reasonable it is to allow this amount of private economic interest to influence the workings of mentioned institutions - said to work for the greater good of Europe and it's citizens. </div>

Moving on, the European Union likes to boast about it's contributions to world peace, human rights and democracy. It even got the Nobel Peace Prize in 2012 for its alleged efforts in this regard, and it might be true that its policies to some degree have helped maintain a peaceful Europe. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But claiming that EU is a peace promoting entity doesn't compute with the fact that many if not most of it's member states during the last decades have been <b>producing and exporting arms</b> worth <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/interactive/2013/jun/13/interactive-investigate-europe-arm-trade">hundreds of billions</a> of Euro. Spreading weapons - products made to harm and kill human beings - on a global scale.<br />

Seeing as the Union says one thing but acts oppositely on several <b>key issues</b>, one has to wonder how valuable the membership was for Great Britain in the first place.<br />
<br />
Even if their borders will tighten up (we'll see, it might be pure propaganda talking), but they already had an <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opt-outs_in_the_European_Union">op-out from the Shengen-agreement</a> and countries like Hungary has put up massive barb-wired fences around its borders and keeps on being a EU-member, so ultimately it's Britain's own decision how open or secluded they wish to be - with or without membership.<br />

In 2012, during the high storm of the economic crisis, the luxury cruise ship Costa Concordia capsized. It was the biggest Italian built ship of all time and its 13 decks were all named after EU nations, thus serving as an omen for the future of the EU-project.<br />

Legitimate questions. Although it's really only the first question that CERN occupies itself with, and this through a philosophically flawed methodology. What they are doing is the pinnacle of over half a decade of flimflam which we today know as high energy particle physics.<br />

Before I begin pointing out the questionable antics of named organization, one must understand that they are operating within a paradigm which have been dominant in the world of physics since the mid 20th century, a system which is centered around a <a href="http://physics.info/standard/">Standard Model</a> - which has allowed itself to grow into a labyrinth with never ending invisible walls - the <i>opposite </i>of a sound theory explaining the eloquence of Nature's mechanics.<br />

Knowing the history of it is good, and I urge everyone with an interest to study up on it. If not else it's pretty entertaining stuff, especially if absurdism is your thing. The works of Alexander Unzicker* is a good start, either <i>The Higgs Fake (</i>which I rely heavily on for this discourse) or <i>Bankrupting Physics</i> will do.<br />

Everything began in the 1930's when physicists welcomed new particles to the table. First having only 2, the electron and the proton, to accepting the positron, neutron and muon as well.<br />

Another particle was also introduced: the <a href="https://icecube.wisc.edu/outreach/neutrinos">neutrino</a>. It was suggested already in 1930 by the famous physicist Wolfgang Pauli who immediately after outlining it wrote: </div>

Today this has become common practice within the field.<br />

Going into the 40's we had 5 detected particles and 1 undetectable. A couple more joined the party during the decade, but this was nothing compared to what the coming age of high energy physics i.e. particle accelerators was about to add.<br />

In the mid sixties the number had grown to ~80! The high number of particles was confusing to the scientists at the time as they were classified as <i>elementary </i>particles - the most elementary/smallest parts of all matter (today the term elementary particle has a more specified meaning).<br />
<br />
But it turned out all these new particles had smaller building blocks: quarks.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiitMZ7mnQZFhZ2M-8WfbUbvp_YhbCqhpMGHbk-1vYZJRljravRp_HCFAixZYddv95wS08HNyXnF8cFkD5YbZoFfboIMdI8npWblp62SRyMX_qwA3FQyHPh9UC4CE3yXb8nKFq7Ue4dYt4/s1600/bild_quark_atom_grosse.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="138" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiitMZ7mnQZFhZ2M-8WfbUbvp_YhbCqhpMGHbk-1vYZJRljravRp_HCFAixZYddv95wS08HNyXnF8cFkD5YbZoFfboIMdI8npWblp62SRyMX_qwA3FQyHPh9UC4CE3yXb8nKFq7Ue4dYt4/s320/bild_quark_atom_grosse.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Thus eliminating the uncomfortable high number of elementary particles.<br />
<br />
Three types of quarks was introduced: up, down and strange. The last one getting it's name because it didn't confine to the consensus of how particles should behave [sic]. But it didn't end there, later three more flavors was discovered: top, bottom and charm.<br />
<br />
6 quarks in total.<br />
<br />
But this is not all they also come in different "color charges", <span style="color: blue;">blue</span>, <span style="color: lime;">green</span> or <span style="color: red;">red</span>. And they all have their anti-counterpart, the anti-quarks. This might be confusing, so here's a list of all quarks and anti-quarks:<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ffe599;">First there were 6...</span></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
And here's the kicker: due to an idea called <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_confinement">confinement</a>, quarks can never be observed. Here's a description directly from Wikipedia that ... well, read for yourself:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_confinement">Confinement</a>, which means that the force between quarks does not diminish as they are separated. Because of this, when you do separate a quark from other quarks, the energy in the gluon field is enough to create another quark pair; they are thus forever bound into hadrons such as the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton">proton</a> and the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutron">neutron</a> or the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pion">pion</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaon">kaon</a>. <b>Although analytically unproven, confinement is widely believed to be true because it explains the consistent failure of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_quark">free quark</a> searches</b>, and it is easy to demonstrate in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lattice_QCD">lattice QCD</a>. [my bold] </blockquote>
A sloppy ad hoc-solution to some, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkVsTGmQLDE">reasonable to others.</a><br />
<br />
Quarks aren't the only type of elementary particles though, we also have leptons and bosons, they of course also come in different forms.<br />

Equally evasive are the bosons, here is an example of how they went about to "confirm" the existence of the Z boson, which by the way had to be found as the theories otherwise would fail:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
The huge Gargamelle bubble chamber photographed the tracks of a few electrons suddenly starting to move, seemingly of their own accord. This is interpreted as a neutrino interacting with the electron by the exchange of an unseen Z boson. The neutrino is otherwise undetectable, so the only observable effect is the momentum imparted to the electron by the interaction. (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W_and_Z_bosons">source</a>)</blockquote>
Worth mentioning is that Z (and W) bosons have such short lifetimes (10<span style="background-color: white;"><sup style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 0.9;">-</sup><sup style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 0.9;">25</sup><sup style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 0.9;"> </sup></span>sec) that they can never make it into a detector, it's <b>the "signature" of an electron emitting an undetectable neutrino</b> that's supposed to seal the deal, so to speak. The term pseudo-science comes to mind, but maybe it's just me.<br />
<br />

<br />
So how many particles are we counting today, in 2016? Counting all flavors, colors, forces, anti-particles, higgses and so forth, here's the number I could find***:<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>63 elementary particles.</b><br />
<br />
There could be errors in the numbers, but in the end who cares, they're just going to keep on finding new higgses and anti-charm lambda-bambas so why even bother.<br />

<h3>
The Science of Interpretation</h3>
</div>
<br />
I have to tip my hat to the PR team at CERN because before I dug into these matters my idea of what they were doing with the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) was filled with mumbojumbo regarding minuscule black holes, dimensional rifts, vacuum bubbles and what not. Albeit very exciting but very far from reality.<br />
<br />
Now I know that their main purpose is to test various theoretical models within particle- and high energy physics - to explore the reaches of the standard model.<br />
<br />
A detailed example of what they are <b>actually </b>doing can be seen in this excerpt from their annual report (2015):<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"The new ATLAS and CMS results do not show any significant excesses that could indicate the presence of particles predicted by alternative models such as supersymmetry. The two experiments have therefore established new limits for the masses of these hypothetical new particles. [...] This is just one of the many results that were presented on 15 December." (<a href="http://home.cern/about/updates/2015/12/atlas-and-cms-present-their-2015-lhc-results">source</a>)</blockquote>
In other words, they search for hypothetical new (?!) particles in different spectra and if they don't find them, they determine that these particles must be of a different nature than theoretically assumed.<br />
<br />
That's it.<br />
<br />
When the Higgs boson was confirmed late 2012 it was referred to as the "God particle" (what's that even supposed to mean?) in the press and conveniently saved many a man's reputation as well as justified the ongoing expenses of the whole project, which at the time was close to $13.25 billion [sic].<br />

This is not entirely unproblematic.<br />
<br />
The life times of many of the particles aren't long enough for them to travel the distance of a proton's radius, even lesser so into a detector. The W boson and top quark for example have no way of leaving the colliding point in which hundreds of millions of proton pairs smashes into one another every second.<br />
<br />
Another problem is that the scatter process is not fully understood, as Unzicker puts it "a reliable theory of how accelerated charges radiate just does not exist".(<a href="http://vixra.org/pdf/1212.0100v1.pdf">source</a>)<br />
<br />
This could partly be because the size of the proton is still a <a href="http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v466/n7303/full/nature09250.html">subject of debate</a>.****<br />
<br />
...<br />
<br />
So, out of ~one <i>trillion </i>proton-proton collisions, maybe one of them will create a Higgs particle which instantly decays into other particles, mostly photon pairs, which by the way most other proton-proton collision also decays into.(<a href="https://www.sciencenews.org/article/higgs-found">source</a>)<br />

Assuming every single line of the immense body of computer code is correct and the detector calibration is flawless in every regard, we are still left with two groups of people with the <i>specific goal</i> of finding this and that by interpreting collision artifacts, whose complexity nobody fully understands.<br />
<br />
Not to mention that that these teams are in charge of every instance of the experiment involving everything from beaming and detector calibration to data gathering, selection and analyze. Instead of having one independent group focusing on for example the detector calibration, the teams deals with everything.<br />
<br />
All this behind locked doors, without public scrutiny.<br />
<br />
Now consider the outcomes:<br />
<br />
1. <i>They find it</i>. Fame and fortune awaits, Nobel prizes are being handed out, their employment is safe etc.<br />
<br />
2. <i>They don't find it</i>. Justifying further grants will be challenging, but it will be even harder to face the possibility that the standard model might contain fundamental errors - a situation which would have immense effects on thousands of people's careers and life work, including many of who are directly involved today.<br />
<br />
And we're supposed to blindly take their word for it?<br />

So far the bill for the LHC is around $18 billion (<a href="http://www.ibtimes.com/pulse/large-hadron-collider-reboot-explained-whats-next-after-god-particle-1819412">source</a>). The annual costs for keeping it running is around $1.25 billion. By now it should be evident that even if they indeed did find Higgs the beneficial aspects of the discovery for humankind are diddly-squat, just one more addition to the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle_zoo">particle zoo</a>.<br />

<h3>
Cyclical reasoning</h3>
<br />
The ideal way of conducting science, as proposed by the Age of Enlightment, is since long dead. The world of science today is heavily dependent on money and glory. Two factors that we all too often underestimate. It's not hard to see how a scientific result might be affected by the possibility of loosing one's (or other people's) income or prestige.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"Nearly all scientists are employed by some large organization, such as a government department, a university, or a multinational company. Only rarely are they free to express their science as a personal view. They may think that they are free, but in reality they are, nearly all of them, employees; they have traded freedom of thought for good working conditions, a steady income and a pension." -James Lovelock, <i>The Ages of Gaia: A Biography of our Living Earth</i></blockquote>
And of course: an identity.<br />
<br />
Looking back at our history, one finds that most breakthroughs have come not through a slowly evolving consensus, but rather through maverick individuals, who's ideas swiftly shook up the established ground.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“In the sciences, the authority of thousands of opinions is not worth as much as one tiny spark of reason in an individual man.”― Galileo Galilei</blockquote>
When looking at the standard model of today one can't help but to be reminded of the <a href="http://www.polaris.iastate.edu/EveningStar/Unit2/unit2_sub1.htm">epicycle model</a>. A geocentric astronomical model prevalent from ~300 BC to the late middle ages. In order for the proponents of the theory to explain the ever growing mountain of problems associated with normal sky observations, epicycles was invented. This explained the movements of the heavenly bodies without having to adjust Earths position as the center of the solar system.<br />
<br />

<br />
The epicycles became more and more complex as time went by. Galileo, Kepler and Kopernicus of course changed all that, but to a high personal price; after all they questioned a system which had been in commonplace for almost 2000 years.<br />

We see a great resemblance today within physics: extreme complexity, non accurate predictions, ad hoc-solutions, parroting, the good old "so many people can't be wrong for such a long time", great resistance towards alternatives etc..<br />
<br />
They say we know better today, but that's what they've always said. If one does some digging they will find that our very recent history is filled with mistakes not only in physics but in all scientific disciplines. Dogmatism in particular never seem to fade away ...<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
If the Higgs is not discovered, I think it's practically certain that there is something else in nature which is equally interesting, and maybe even more interesting, that will create the symmetry breaking required by the standard model; and why do I say that it's required?

When hearing statements like the one above one has to cringe a little, because when it comes down to it this is someone who is supposed to represent science and the scientific method, saying that there's no room for alternative models in physics.<br />
<br />
What happens when you have this mindset and don't find what you're looking for?<br />
<br />
No matter how much the followers keep on saying that the standard model is the best model ever (which they keep on saying by the way, as if they have to keep on reminding themselves), it hasn't gotten close to resolve any of the following basic problems in physics:<br />
<br />

<br />
But as I made clear in my <a href="http://www.psydonia.com/2015/11/hallmarks-of-intelligence.html">last post</a> I find the notion of a happenstance cosmos to be neither probable or logic anymore - a position I've reached through profound personal experience and years of research into the mystical aspects of this world.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
However, a relationship with the inexplicable isn't necessary in order to question the world view which the scientific establishment is trying to sell us - Big Bang cosmologists and particle physicists in particular - <i>common sense</i> is sufficient.<br />
<br />
In this article, part 1, I will take you on a journey that begins before the existence of the Universe, makes a stop at Big Bang and continues on to cosmic microwave background radiation and quasars.<br />
<br />
In part 2 I will examine CERN's Large Hadron Collider and the sad state of affairs that particle physics has reached.<br />
<br />
Together they make up the current, ruling theorem of the origin and function of the Universe - and as we shall see, a most doubtful attitude should be maintained towards these ideas.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Before the Beginning</h3>
<br />
When dealing with the most fundamental question of them all, the origin of the Universe, I believe you only have two options to consider: either something eternal existed before it, or nothing at all.<br />
<br />
Rationally the former makes more sense, but for some reason the latter has become the prevalent assumption in the world of physics.<br />
<br />
It is however, very difficult to explain how a universe can come into existence from nothing. The famous atheist and astrophysicist Lawrence Krauss tried to do it in his book <i>A Universe from Nothing </i>and <a href="http://www.bethinking.org/is-there-a-creator/a-universe-from-someone-against-lawrence-krauss">failed miserably</a>.<br />
<br />
Two prominent theoretical physicists who also have tried are Stephen Hawking and Ulf Danielsson, Sweden's most famous theoretical physicist. Here's what they had to say:<br />

</blockquote>
We can easily see how the two statements contradicts each other, one of them talking about no size whereas the other one talks about expansion.<br />
<br />
But let's dissect both statements on their own. Stephen Crothers deals directly with the Hawking quote in <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhYsOQTfYEc">this lecture</a>, to paraphrase him: temperature is defined by how fast molecules are moving, the faster the hotter. Now, how can the molecules exist in something of zero size? How fast do they have to move in order to be infinitely hot? And exactly how many degrees is it between infinitely hot and ten thousand million?<br />
<br />
Ulf Danielssons scenario is just as nonsensical: an expansion, vibrations and dark energy, i.e. two abstract nouns and a factor x. Couldn't one just as easily say: an amplification, beats and a blue force? Or a multiplication, throbbings and shimmering moxie?<br />
<br />
Apparently a reputation and a nice degree are enough to keep one's drivel to remain unquestioned.<br />

If it isn't clear yet let me remind you that we're not talking about science here, but rather purely theoretical fantasies, beyond any method of provability.<br />

<h3>
Seeing red</h3>
<br />
It has since long been established that the Universe is approximately 13.7 billion years old. This conclusion has been reached through observing distant heavenly bodies. The oldest ones we've seen seem to have a redshift (wave length of emitted light) that indicates that they're situated almost 14 billion years away from us. As we haven't observed anything further away, they must stem from the beginning of time.<br />
<br />
That's the logic.<br />
<br />
There are problems with this method of dating the cosmos, first of all one has to assume that both the speed of light and time as we know it are constants, and has been so everywhere during the entire evolution of space, but even if they are, another bigger problem is already at hand.<br />
<br />
In my <a href="http://www.psydonia.com/2014/09/ancient-universe.html">very first post</a> on this blog I dealt with this troublesome area, here's what I wrote:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
The recently deceased astronomer <a href="http://www.haltonarp.com/">Halton Arp</a> was one of few in this field who maintained a critical stance against the Big Bang-theory. He based his critique on <a href="http://electric-cosmos.org/arp.htm">observations</a> he'd made when gathering pictures of galaxies. Many [...] showed seemingly connecting "bridges" between them [galaxies] and nearby quasars. Considering that the most distant galaxies he detected were approximately 200-300 million years away, they couldn't have any connection with each other what so ever - at least according to the Big Bang-enthusiasts.<br />
<br />
Arp suggested that quasars derive from galaxies, thus implying a vastly younger age for those objects, and more importantly, <b>that the mechanisms causing redshift aren't fully understood</b>.</blockquote>
Of course you could argue about this and that, but the pictures doesn't lie.<br />

Moving on to the next problem, much of what we "know" about cosmos today is based on this map supposedly portraying the cosmic background radiation (CMB). Under it you'll find a brief explanation of what it is:<br />

<i>The CMB is a snapshot of the oldest light in our Universe, imprinted on the sky when the Universe was just 380,000 years old. </i>(<a href="http://www.mpg.de/7044245/">source</a>)</blockquote>
It's easy too see how valuable this information is for astrophysicists who, since it's discovery in the 60's, have been using it as a confirmation of the Big Bang theory. Today even better measurements continue to feed fuel into the fire, so to speak.<br />
<br />
The clincher is, the CMB data might very well turn out to be complete junk. <br />
<br />
As the methods of obtaining this type of data are very complicated it's not easy for anyone except experts to interpret them. Therefore, when professor <a href="http://radiology.osu.edu/10717.cfm">Pierre-Marie Robitaille</a> questions the data it's impossible for myself to validate or discard what he has to say, but it's not hard to see where he's coming from.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
What he is proposing is that earlier measurements, made by a satellite (COBE) orbiting close to earth, did not take into consideration the microwave radiation emitting from our own oceans. It had nothing to shield off this type of radiation and therefore obtained a map of Earth instead of the Universe.<br />

<span style="color: #999999; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
Later experiments with new satellites have been profoundly lacking due to using the previously obtained data <i>as a basis</i> for their own mapping.<br />
<br />
In the latest case (called Planck/WMAP) the satellite was unable to distinguish any appropriate signals from background noise (from our own galaxy), which apparently was 1000 times stronger than what they wanted to measure.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999; font-size: x-small;">Not only did they re-use the questionable COBE data, but they also claim to have removed the contamination signal (red color) even though it's ~1000 stronger than the signal underneath - without having an a priori knowledge or control over the unwanted signal.</span></div>
<br />
I've been trying to find any serious critique against his bold yet reasonable claims, but unfortunately it's mostly the typical skepticist agenda being played out, like "he's a crank", "he doesn't know what he's talking about", "this has been established innumerable times already", "he has other crank ideas, (therefore all his ideas must be wrong)" etc.., instead of any substantial rebuttals.<br />
<br />
Which of course gives us all the more reason to believe that he's on to something.<br />
<br />

<br />
Man's appetite for knowledge easily leads him astray. We fear the (intellectual) unknowing so much, that we've actually managed to figure out the entire evolution of the Universe - even without being close to understand the nature of the tool we've used to reach those conclusions with, namely <i>consciousness</i>.<br />
<br />
Talk about hubris.<br />
<br />
In part 2 we'll have a look at the other ingredients that have contributed to the decline of science: fame and fortune.<br />
<br />
Stay put for a visit to CERN and their multi billion dollar search for horsefeathers.<br />

If you flew over an area of remote islands in the ocean, and you saw a spiral pattern on one of the supposedly deserted beaches; you would likely reach the conclusion that someone made it and perhaps land your plane if suspected that the person who made it was still there. </h3>

<div>
When we instead turn our megalithic telescopes to the cosmos, our reactions aren't as curiously inclined; even though many of the formations we behold do come in the shape of spirals. <br />

Our means to interact with the areas of interest are obviously limited, but nevertheless associations to intelligence are left out. </div>

Richard Dawkins spent many years making a computer simulation, with the explicit purpose of showing how factors of chance and diversity dictates biological evolution. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Somehow this struck me as being highly contradictory seeing as he himself played the role of the Creator he has dedicated his life to spitefully deny. <br />
<br />
The simulation may run very well on it's own, but as is also the case with reality, the outcome is determined by a set amount of parameters – the underlying structure of information that makes sure that the mass of a proton always will be 1836,15 times greater than an electron. <br />

Of course we run into a problem when we try to project a persona to the mind behind the properties of the cosmos, it's certainly no Dawkins behind a laptop. But if we would allow ourselves to let go of the presupposed notion that an intelligence has to be confined to the cage of a (physical) being, the problem quickly dissolves. <br />

For most people this might indeed be a landmark discovery, seemingly unthinkable just a couple of weeks ago. But this discovery was heavily suggested by two different sources 15 years ago, using basically the same type of technique, drawing the same conclusions. I'm talking about a report by <a href="http://www.enterprisemission.com/press-water.html">Richard C. Hoagland from 2000</a> and a paper by <a href="http://palermoproject.com/Mars_Anomalies/%20text_files/MarsSocietySeepsPaper.pdf">Efrain Palermo published in 2001</a>.<br />

<span style="color: yellow; font-size: x-small;">Pictures concluded to show liquid water on Mars - 15 years ago. </span></div>
<br />
Of course, anyone with a pair of powerful binoculars could've seen that Mars has two poles, whereas one of them consists of water ice, thus heavily implying that where that pole ceases and desert takes over, some liquid water probably is to be found.<br />
<br />
Anyhow, let's pretend that NASA knew about this before hand (at least <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/movies/the-martian-director-ridley-scott-1266797347455030.html">Ridley Scott</a> did), why would they chose to proclaim it now? As it turns out the timing is suitable as the premiere for the movie <i>The Martian</i> is just around the corner - a movie that NASA has spent much <a href="http://www.newsweek.com/water-mars-conspiracy-truther-hoax-377975">time and money</a> on, as it turns out.<br />

As futile of an announcement as it might seem for many of us who are aware of the world of alternative space research, it shouldn't come as a surprise.<br />
<br />
If we look at NASA's history with the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjG-tBGMKaI">red planet</a>, we know for a fact that they <a href="http://www.psydonia.com/2014/09/evidence-ignored.html">deliberately destroyed potential fossilized, organic lifeforms</a> and blatantly been lying to and <a href="http://www.psydonia.com/2015/01/mars-revisisted-face-facts.html">deceiving us regarding possible artificial structures</a>.<br />

<span style="color: yellow; font-size: x-small;"> Ah, what an interesting find! Let's take a closer look... oops!</span></div>
<br />
Looking at it from a wider perspective, this do fit with the notion that they indeed are heading for disclosure. If you've followed the Dawn Mission to Ceres you should be familiar with the <a href="http://dawn.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news-detail.html?id=4714">inexplicable lights</a> which has been discovered on the dwarf planet's surface.<br />
<br />
Earlier this year the mystery got a great deal of attention in media all around the world, and NASA even started a <a href="http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/dawn/world_ceres/">poll</a> in which we could all guess as to what was behind the luminescent phenomenon. Is it ice, geyser's, rock or something else?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: yellow; font-size: x-small;">Hmm, a geyser perhaps?</span></div>
<br />
I'm no expert but I can already tell you that we're are not dealing with rocks here. Of course the really detailed pictures has yet to emerge (God knows they have them), but in the meantime let's see how open we are for the unknown.<br />
<br />
By the way, they did release pictures of the <a href="http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/jpeg/PIA19584.jpg">bright spots being seen</a> even when the planet was turned away from the sun. Effectively eliminating all poll alternatives except for 'other'. So far the agency hasn't bothered with a follow up comment to the pictures, save for <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRcxIr8NfAg">this</a>.<br />

Little by little it looks like they're preparing us for the startling reality: we are not alone, and we've never been alone.<br />
<br />
The question is: can you handle it? or rather, is there really <i>anybody</i> out there who <i>can't</i>?<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
It's a beautiful summer afternoon and you and a few friends are out in the garden enjoying a barbecue. As the sun is starting to set one of you spots a strange object in the sky, at first none of you is making too much of a fuzz about it, but as it gets closer you all realize that something's not right. First of all it's not making any sound and when it suddenly stops as it gets right above you, it becomes evident that the thing is huge, approximately 300 meters in diameter. You continue to observe how the craft is rotating counter clockwise as pulsating white lights emanates from it. After a couple of minutes it suddenly splits up into four separate crafts, taking off with immense speed in the four cardinal directions: north, south, west and east respectively. </blockquote>

This story actually represents what a witness claims happened to her and a group of friends on a spring evening in 1976. The first hand report is posted on <a href="http://www.nuforc.org/webreports/008/S08013.html">NUFORC</a>, and was brought to my attention through <a href="http://www.richarddolanpress.com/">Richard Dolan</a>'s book <i>UFO's for the 21st Century Mind*</i>. Whatever the origin of the observed object, it is probably safe to assume that it didn't run on gasoline, but rather something more sophisticated. Something clean and tremendously more effective.<br />
<br />
<h3>
The Game Changer</h3>
<br />
What the consequences would be for humanity if this kind of technology became available in some way or another, depends heavily upon the circumstances of which it would be obtained. If it was revealed to us on a grand mainstream scale, we're likely talking about a great <i>positive </i>transformation, which would eliminate the petroleum industry over night, and in a very foreseeable future, poverty as well - given that we are talking about free energy.<br />
<br />

<span style="color: orange; font-size: x-small;">Is a clean, green future within our grasp?</span></div>
<br />
However, if the information was only to be harvested by a smaller, controlled portion of humanity, it's not as likely to benefit the masses, but would instead lead to the creation of a separate elite group - a scenario which might very well be <i>reality</i>, as we shall see.<br />
<br />
I believe there are several ways for the later to occur, one brilliant mind in the wrong (or right, depending on how you look at it) place at the wrong time would be enough. For example: there exist <a href="https://www.pbs.org/tesla/ll/ll_mispapers.html">a rumor</a> that Nikola Tesla's apartment was raided shortly after his death and that a huge portion of his private notes disappeared. If those papers contained enough crucial data I believe they definitively could've gotten the the ball rolling**.<br />
<br />
Richard Dolan has often times speculated that UFO crash retrievals are very potent candidates in this regard, and I agree. There are many cases of suspected <a href="http://www.ufoevidence.org/documents/doc1687.htm">UFO crashes</a>, but for familiarity's sake let's use <a href="http://www.roswellufomuseum.com/incident.html">Roswell</a> as an example in this thought experiment***.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Phase 1</h3>
<br />
The year is 1947 and the world is still shaken from the after math of WW2: millions of lives have been lost, cities have been turned to dust and the two most powerful nations on Earth are busy with a new ordeal which will be known as the Cold War.<br />
<br />
As if this wasn't enough, in comes a report describing how an exotic craft of some kind have crashed in the very vicinity of where the first atomic bombs were produced and tested. The media is already all over it and witnesses are lining up to give interviews of what they saw. - "... Mr. President?"<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVcimKdfjIf3PfjjKEtrwygKjdn4cvR_5kYv7CkmH4Om4y2ap5N764hjdvyv6ZCF-HyR8XGHJ8QJdLmxUgETX15aBXTCIhF-FgOkV7NpunHkLPZYyE7vblRgCzOoEkNMWmX0XXXTk1IY4/s1600/118901c0d5a1bc5602c1520d51a160f5_f194.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVcimKdfjIf3PfjjKEtrwygKjdn4cvR_5kYv7CkmH4Om4y2ap5N764hjdvyv6ZCF-HyR8XGHJ8QJdLmxUgETX15aBXTCIhF-FgOkV7NpunHkLPZYyE7vblRgCzOoEkNMWmX0XXXTk1IY4/s1600/118901c0d5a1bc5602c1520d51a160f5_f194.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Looking back at the historical context the decision to momentarily put the lid on the affair is perfectly understandable. Not only were they spared from the surrounding world's countless questions, which they probably weren't able to answer anyway, but it also gave them an opportunity to study the new found treasures in peace and quiet.<br />
<br />
The wreckage is transported to a secret military location as the PR department makes sure the official story changes course to something of a more mundane nature. Even though some of the brightest brains of the time are working on the project, it likely takes years before anything substantial can be reproduced from it. Perhaps a few of the discoveries deliberately get leaked through industrial channels, as Lt. Philip J. Corso suggested in his book <a href="http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/exopolitica/esp_exopolitics_ZZZGa.htm">The Day after Roswell</a>, stuff like fiber optics, Kevlar and laser. Some findings stay secret.<br />
<br />
As the years go by the project is likely to be phased out to the private sector, where the money, security and know-how are far superior.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Phase 2</h3>
<br />
One day a break through is made, the scientists involved actually figure out the principle behind the craft's gravitational shielding, and it turns out that the very same principle can be used in a way that lets you use the Earth's magnetic field as a hyper effective energy source for travelling. The profane effect this discovery would have on humanity, if it was to be disclosed, is not underestimated.<br />
<br />

They keep it under wraps. Now imagine if something similar took place say 60 years ago, where would this research be today? Would it be far-fetched to talk about time travel or worm hole-type of commutation? Could they already be visiting other planets or even star systems? </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In all cases, we are dealing with a technological level so far off from anything that's out in the public that the selected group of people who have it to their disposal must be seen as a unique branch of human civilization. A breakaway group that have a unique access to Earth and the solar system, a refined infra-structure both on and off planet and most certainly a cosmological understanding that gives them a more sophisticated viewpoint as to the nature of this world.****<br />

<br />
A lot of speculation perhaps, but as it turns out there are more to this than most suspect. For example a number of prominent people in key positions have gone on record with sensitive information highly suggestive of exactly this, namely: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=787LuH_qNB4">Leonard Stringfield</a>, <a href="http://exonews.org/19370/">Barry Goldwater</a>, <a href="http://science.howstuffworks.com/space/aliens-ufos/ufo-government10.htm">Dr. Robert Sarbacher</a>, <a href="http://presidentialufo.com/old_site/dr__eric_walker.htm">Dr. Eric Walker</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBO8z9pHAuA">Don Phillips</a> and <a href="http://www.ufo-blogger.com/2010/08/ufo-are-real-ben-rich-lockheed-skunk.html">Ben Rich</a>, the head of Lockheed's <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skunk_Works">Skunk Works</a>-division 1975-91, who at the end of his life made some remarkable statements such as:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-size: large;">“We already have the means to travel among the stars, but these technologies are locked up in black projects, and it would take an act of God to ever get them out to benefit humanity. Anything you can imagine, we already know how to do.”</span> </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-size: large;">- Ben Rich</span></blockquote>
<br />
Regardless of the truth, I'm wildly intrigued by the thought that there might exist a part of humanity that recently in our history took a step into a new, revolutionary paradigm. When it all comes down to it, there are people in the Amazon that are unknowing of our civilization, and who's to say that we are on the very far end of the spectrum? Unfortunately we have to wait for the day <i>they </i>decide to disclose themselves before we can know for sure.<br />
<br />
May that day come soon.<br />

One of my greatest reading experiences last year was Richard Dolan's <i><a href="http://www.richarddolanpress.com/#!21st-century-mind/c1r54">UFO’s for the 21st Century Mind</a>. </i>The book works as a historical summary of the whole phenomenon: from ancient astronauts to the most popular clips on YouTube, and absolutely everything in between. It's easy to see that a great deal of solid research went into this publication and even if I consider myself fairly well versed when it comes to the history of UFOs, the accessible language and pleasant layout made it a joy to acquaint and re-acquaint myself with all the people, cases and events that constitute the vibrant world of this particular topic.<br />
<br />
Instead of writing a mere review of it I would like to address two key questions that Dolan touches upon, both of which I find important, intriguing and <i>highly </i>relevant to us, particularly in these times. In this post (part I) I will try my best to convey what I think is <i>the single most important notion </i>that the UFO-phenomenon entails; one that should always be with us but is too often forgotten.<br />
<br />
<div>
--<br />
<br />
The total amount of witness reports concerning unidentified aerial phenomena throughout our history is immense. Every year over 10 000 observations are being documented through various organizations in North America alone*. Of course most of them are miss-identifications of man-made or natural objects; but that small percentage of bizarre and mystifying experiences reported by both <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vyVe-6YdUk">civilian</a> and <a href="http://www.afterdisclosure.com/2012/07/real-majestic-twelve.html">governmental/military channels</a> never ceases to exist.<br />
<br />
Reports describing intelligently maneuvered crafts slicing through the sky in zickzack patterns, doing thousands of km/h, pulsating in glorious colors without making a sound - often times affecting electronic equipment, moving in and out of water with ease, containing passengers not entirely human looking. What are we suppose to make of reports of this kind?<br />
<br />
Perhaps not too much. It's enough to apply basic rational thinking in order to realize that we are dealing with something absolutely <i>real</i> here, the sheer amount of credible sightings speaks for itself. Taking into account other kinds of documentation like physical traces, radar readings and a wealth of photos and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zzlt60zNsfE">videos</a>, there can be little room for doubt that these intelligent units, in some sense, also <i>share</i> our immediate reality.<br />

Yet, everyone, skeptics and believers alike, can't let go of the vacuous idea that something tangible and reproducible is necessary in order to completely convince; as if a piece of film, body tissue or an exotic rod would possibly make any difference. Not to mention the extent of foul play that's been associated with our approach to the phenomenon from the very get-go. On behalf of the visitors, let's not forget the obvious reluctance to provide us with such as well.</div>
<div>
<br />

<br />
Mystery is the common denominator. The essence of the play.<br />
<br />
Seeing as the source(s) behind it seem(-s) to be far more sophisticated than us; it's completely uncertain if it's even within our grasp to solve the riddle. Evidently the scientific method has it's limitations, but it's enough to look at dreams, emotions and experiences to establish that. However, we can't blame ourselves as easily when scrutinizing the full width of the UFO mystery and its doings.<br />
<br />
With the acceptance of the latter we have to recognize our own restrictions, admit our minds defeat against a World of uncertainty and wonder.<br />

Last fall an extraordinary man passed away. His name was Dr. <a href="http://www.masaru-emoto.net/">Masaru Emoto</a> and his field of research concerned to what extent consciousness can affect water molecules. This is what he did: he marked water bottles with different labels, some with a positively charged expression like "Thank you" or "I love you", some with a neutral one and the rest with a very negative message e.g. "I will kill you". After actively sending these thoughts to the respective bottle, he examined the molecular structures of the water.</h4>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The water from the positive canisters showed beautiful, geometric crystals whereas the negatively "charged" water looked broken and asymmetric in his microscope. His findings suggested that thought indeed has the ability to affect at least water. This led him to spend the rest of his life travelling around the globe, lecturing on the importance of meditation and love in a world that truly is more interconnected than the current scientific paradigm is willing to admit.<br />

Naturally he took a lot of heat from the skeptic part of the scientific community, being accused of engaging in pseudoscience, a methodological question which according to himself might very well be true. Whether that's a reaction due to his humble Japanese mannerism or the fact that he just don't care I'll leave upon for speculation - perhaps it's beyond science after all. Of course The James Randi Foundation <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20030602141607/http://www.randi.org/jr/052303.html">mocked him</a> for refusing to undertake their <a href="http://dailygrail.com/features/the-myth-of-james-randis-million-dollar-challenge">bogus $1 million $ challenge</a> - but their shenanigans is a topic for another post.<br />

As a counter move to all the naysayers, Dr. Emoto thought out an experiment that not only heavily suggests that he was right all along, but also can be replicated at home through minuscule means. The method is called The Rice Experiment and all you need is a couple of jars, cooked rice and a magic marker. What you do is you put the rice in two or three different jars, shut them tight and write a positive word on one of them and a negative on the other (plus an unmarked third if you wish). Then you wait. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
After a couple of weeks you'll notice that the rice in the positive jar will be in better shape than the one in the negative one, at least this is the idea of the experiment. As the goal is to prove that intention can alter matter, it is of utmost importance that the containers are placed so that you have a clear view of them; and that you indeed take a moment everyday to send loving thoughts to the positive jar and vice versa to the other.<br />
<br />
I've found quite a lot of documented Rice Experiments from random people on the internet. With impressive results. I'll let them speak for themselves.<br />

A year ago my girlfriend and I tried this at home. She was highly skeptical so I suggested we made it a bit more interesting by betting on the results, if it worked she had to buy me dinner, and if it didn't, the other way around. Here's how it looked like after approximately 3 weeks:<br />

Even though most sites that writes about this are positive, there are debunkers out there, however many of them try to explain away the experiment <i>without even conducting it</i>, like this blog post from <a href="http://foodretro.com/debunking-the-rice-experiment/#comment-312224">FoodRetro</a>. Here's a post from <a href="http://sciencereporting.blogspot.de/2012/02/how-to-design-rice-experiment.html">Sciencereporting</a> explaining why it isn't scientific and how one could go about to conduct a vastly more complex test that <i>misses the whole point</i> of the original one. These are all on the first page when you google "Rice experiment".<br />
<br />
The first page that will pop up is a post by Carrie Poppy, an author for skeptical CSI (<a href="http://www.csicop.org/specialarticles/show/a_grain_of_truth_recreating_dr._emotos_rice_experiment/">Comitee for Skeptical Inquiry</a>). She actually goes through with the experiment; and subsequently attempts to discredit it with irrelevant comparisons and a flim-flam jar that draws attention from the fact that the negative rice actually <i>did rot quicker</i> than the rice in the other jars.<br />

"Well, he was the only one to mold, though the top of the rice in his jar ended up being the most exposed to air of all four samples." is her comment on the negative jar. Instead of discarding her experiment she ends her post with "I can’t help but wonder if the well-meaning re-creators of this experiment on the internet didn’t help their rice along, exposing the neglected or hated rice to more air, [...]".<br />
<br />
So, do it again but this time make sure they are all tightly shut?<br />

<br />
In the end no one has ever claimed that the Rice Experiment is a scientifically adequate way to measure something, <i>of course it isn't</i>. But seeing as it worked for me and countless others the effect of something inexplicable could very well be showing itself through this test.<br />
<br />
Considering the profound implications hinted, everybody should try this - because the more positive results we can collect, the more undeniable it gets (assuming most results will be positive)<i>. </i>Or perhaps it's just impossible to objectively conduct an experiment like this at home when even the hardcore skeptics "unintentionally" favors the positive rice?<br />
<br />
Just try it, ok.<br />

<h4>
Most people
have probably heard of Bigfoot – a hairy forest giant often described as a
mixture of human and ape. The appearance and name vary depending on which
part of the world you are in, but the legend of the big, hairy man exists on
pretty much every continent. Most of us associate the phenomenon with North America, where
they often are referred to as Sasquatch, but you’ve probably also heard of the
Australian Yowie and the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgKN_8uRgSo">Yeti</a> of Himalaya.</h4>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">They are
predominately reported in the coastal regions of North America, where there are
plenty of mountainous areas and deep forest to inhabit without being
disturbed by humans. Pretty much all Native American tribes recognize the
Sasquatch as a real creature who has been around for at least as long as us.
According to various indigenous legends the beings are extremely powerful and
wise, having both immense strength and abilities that can only be described as
magical. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-GB">Their view goes quite contrary to the idea of a ‘missing link’
type of humanoid, a forefather to homo sapiens sapiens who has somehow managed
to survive and elude every attempt to be documented or captured. </span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-GB">However, the viewpoint of the First Nations people do resonate perfectly with a small fraction of modern day Bigfoot research, conducted by people who aren't as content to put an ad hoc-label on the hominid as the more mainstream 'experts' are. Instead they follow the evidence even though it might take them to strange and uncomfortable areas. </span><br />

My favorite paranormal topic next to UFO's has always been Bigfoot, but admittedly I've had some trouble making sense of the latter. Although there exist an abundance of evidence such as tracks, hair, video/audio recordings and literally thousands of witness testimonies, it wasn't until quite recently, last fall to be precise, that I stumbled upon information that convincingly tied it all together. But before we dive into a rabbit hole too deep, let's take a couple of minutes to establish the reality of the forest giants.<br />
<br />
<h3>
It only takes one white crow ...</h3>
<br />
The <a href="http://www.bfro.net/">Bigfoot Field Research Organization</a> (BFRO) has been collecting witness reports of hairy humanoid encounters since the mid 90's. Up until today <a href="http://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=248411">over 2000 class A reports</a> (clear visual contact) have been added to their database; keeping that number in mind one should remember that most encounters go unrecorded, if we optimistically assume that one fifth of all visual encounters would make it to the BFRO website we are talking about over 10 000 encounters in North America the last 100 years. That's 100 sightings <b>a year</b><i> - </i>optimistically speaking<i>.</i><br />
<br />
It should be noted that even though every report that ends up on bfro.net only does so after a certain amount of follow up research (mainly a telephone interview with the witness, but occasionally even field work), they <b>systematically ignore</b>* statements not fitting the presupposed idea of an overwintered ancestor of some kind; statements that contain elements such as telepathy, telekinesis and cloaking - to name a few.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e69138; font-size: x-small;">The depicted scenario is not as uncommon as one would think.</span></div>
<br />
I salute the organization's initiative to collect these kinds of reports, but it's a pity they have to be selective about it, thus leaving their claim (to be) "The only <i>scientific </i>research organization exploring the bigfoot/sasquatch mystery." [italicized by author] rather trifling.<br />
<br />
Looking at the immense amount of reported encounters the ever so often mentioned "lonely loon"-explanation - that only drugged up cranks see these beings - completely falls apart. The topic clearly deserves some serious attention. W<b>hen the sum of anecdotal data gets overwhelmingly big it's insensible to ignore it</b>.<br />
<br />
Naturally the next question should address further corroborative evidence, and luckily there is plenty of that. Instead of engaging in the whole fauna of vocal recordings, plaster castings, dermal ridges, wood structures, fecal matter etc. etc. let's zoom in on the gold, and with that I mean video gold.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Let's roll the tape</h3>
<br />
It was only last autumn when I came across a YouTube account called <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/ThinkerThunker">ThinkerThunker</a>. Behind it is a video editing expert who analyzes alleged video recordings of Sasquatch, and thanks to his meticulous scrutiny a lot of details in seemingly dodgy clips surface - details that tell a story about something not so easily explained as a man in a monkey suit.<br />
<br />
In fact he's even observed no less than <b>two distinct anatomical traits that clearly aren't human. </b>They show up in several completely unrelated documentations, one of them relating to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EicVEOtm1A">body ratios</a>, the other is about <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRi1VLBxtZc">the way they walk</a>. Take a few minutes and watch these two videos as they should be considered <b>highly valuable</b> pieces of evidence. The <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbcC5xGPb6Y">Creature in the Giant Sequoias</a> is also recommended watching.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhaLg196KHg4TfdbDnHBqAHyxlbYd_w-hH4U7s-SIWQIWJCqJFUuMi3KOQ8PvSG3RF5IbByMB8AR6THTrSZyK0hfHGCFEL71Pphl_0gboP4Jw98s0bwJIEu5ziS5Ljm2-peD7hZqBPWQU/s1600/sequoias.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="222" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhaLg196KHg4TfdbDnHBqAHyxlbYd_w-hH4U7s-SIWQIWJCqJFUuMi3KOQ8PvSG3RF5IbByMB8AR6THTrSZyK0hfHGCFEL71Pphl_0gboP4Jw98s0bwJIEu5ziS5Ljm2-peD7hZqBPWQU/s400/sequoias.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e69138; font-size: x-small;">Still from the Creature in the Giant Sequoias-footage, perhaps the most intriguing footage ever recorded next to the Patterson-Gimlin film.</span></div>
<br />
Before we move on a few words on the (in)famous <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOxuRIfFs0w">Patterson-Gimlin film</a> are in order. The video that was shot in 1967 is still considered to be the best footage ever of a Sasquatch in the flesh. Although various <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patterson%E2%80%93Gimlin_film">notable experts</a> in fields like bio mechanics, anthropology, primatology and costume design are reluctant to call it a Bigfoot, a majority of them <b>don't want to call it a human </b>either.<br />
<br />
When looking at the arguments from both sides of the real vs. hoaxed discussion, it quickly becomes clear that the pro-hoax camp rely heavily on indirect points concerning the people involved rather than the film per se. The conclusion that we are seeing a man in a gorilla suit, holds up poorly to any <a href="http://cryptomundo.com/cryptozoo-news/p-g44-buresh/">serious investigation</a>.<br />
<br />
Seeing as it was filmed in 67, the suit - which we have yet to see by the way - must have been a miracle to behold, with authentic looking muscle paddings, glued on hair, no seams and even with elongated arms. To top it all off the costume maker even bothered to add a pair of female breasts to the creation - really... ?<br />

<h3>
Tunnel vision</h3>
<br />
After taking a serious look at the plethora of evidence concerning the reality of the forest creatures one has to wonder how the heck it is possible that gigantic ape like humanoids are roaming the forests without ever being captured, killed or (clearly and more often) photographed. With this in mind it's no surprise that people who haven't had any experience or done their homework dismiss the whole thing as something for the mentally ill.<br />
<br />
Since the very beginning the field of Bigfoot research has been dominated by the idea that these creatures are some kind of missing link between the world of primates and us. It's not hard to see why this idea has established itself as the main thesis for the Sasquatch enigma: after all the creatures look like a mixture of man and ape, and having the late discovery of the mountain gorilla in mind, the ancestor scenario is close at hand. As an added bonus this approach gives the phenomenon a more legitimate shimmer in the eyes of the scientific community.<br />

<br />
Paradoxically the assumption that they are primitive ape men is a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWtCittJyr0">dead end</a>. Looking back at the last 50 years of Bigfoot research not much has happened when it comes to reaching a greater understanding of the phenomenon.<br />
<br />
Prominent (crypto-)zoologists who's been in the field for decades <b>still </b>haven't even seen the creature, instead they are <i>still </i>making plaster casts of footprints, as if we haven't enough of them already. Add the occasional hair sample sent for DNA-analysis and you have what has been constituting "serious" Sasquatch research for the last half-century.<br />
<br />
But to where do we turn our attention if we want a more complete picture of what's going on? For starters we could begin to look at the part of the phenomenon that is being ignored.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Stealth mode</h3>
<br />
When I decided to seriously delve into the world of Sasquatchery last year I wasn't aware of the paranormal aspects that witnesses sometimes report. Because of reasons mentioned above it took some time before they popped up during my research, but as soon as they did I had to admit that they did offer an eloquent albeit fantastic answer to the mystery.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
In order to find cases with a flavor of high strangeness I dug through Albert Rosales excellent and extensive webpage <a href="http://www.ufoinfo.com/humanoid/">Humanoid Sighting Reports</a> - a compilation of reports about otherworldly meetings with human-shaped entities. Most of the material concern UFO occupants, but once in a while the intermittent Sasquatch story can be found. Many which contain elements such as telepathy, cloaking and inter-dimensionality.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXjvwGb2n8sXO8dZCA-A_6N9Q51qzqmWi2hadrKSOw97aNQDAsG5CsiU0YAHJspNYRTOiInSIKFLL-8x5Zt2Vo7r3ITHWA9hn-KdagnsrzXKhvmkS2AhzWnicPf6PTC7lhn4ldglzates/s1600/Stealth_Mode_On%2521.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="201" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXjvwGb2n8sXO8dZCA-A_6N9Q51qzqmWi2hadrKSOw97aNQDAsG5CsiU0YAHJspNYRTOiInSIKFLL-8x5Zt2Vo7r3ITHWA9hn-KdagnsrzXKhvmkS2AhzWnicPf6PTC7lhn4ldglzates/s400/Stealth_Mode_On%2521.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Let me describe two cases that independently of each other describe a strikingly similar scenario. The first one took place in Stanislau National Forest, California.<br />
<br />
It was in 1993 when a wildlife biologist reported seeing a huge hairy biped. The sighting only lasted a second or two as the giant, after taking a few steps, literally 'vanished into thin air' in front of the biologist's eyes.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Seven years later, in 2000, two persons are out camping somewhere in Oregon when they all of a sudden see a 2,8 m tall, black Bigfoot walk out of a brush. Upon reaching a clearing it starts to shimmer and all of sudden 'vanishes'. In the campers own words <i>Have you ever seen in a desert setting, off in the distance, when heat rises from the ground... the blurry, wavy lines? That is what the creature did. It started to shimmering, and became almost transparent, and totally disappeared.</i><br />
<br />
Supposing there is something to this, one has to wonder, where do they go? Are they becoming invisible or do they actually enter some other realm? Having gone through many 'normal' as well as fringe reports I'm convinced that they are capable of both (I will elaborate this standpoint further down). I've found four videos that do seem to feature the cloaking effect of these beings. I took the liberty of compiling them in a playlist.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<br />
<br />
<h3>
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYG9BWXJ8NA">All the way in</a></h3>
<br />
If the stories above suggest invisibility - which by the way would explain the <b>vast majority</b> of all Sasquatch witness accounts where only the sound of heavy footsteps can be heard - the following sightings point towards some kind of inter-dimensional access.<br />
<br />
1989. Once again taking place in Oregon, close to Mt. Hood, a farmer sees a shimmering object hanging in mid air. It resembles a huge water drop. He observes it for a while when all of a sudden a hairy biped jumps out of it and takes off into the woods.<br />
<br />
The perplexing giant 'water drop' was also present in an encounter in Sedona, Arizona the same year. A man is inspecting property in an area when he stumbles upon a situation where he beholds the same type of shimmering 'portal', around it he spots several 3 m tall Sasquatches seemingly guarding the object. Needless to say "The witness did not hang around and left the area."**<br />

A handful of experiences that share the exact same, bizarre characteristics. Considering the obvious reluctance witnesses must feel when reporting a Bigfoot encounter, one has to wonder how often strange aspects are deliberately left out in order to be taken somewhat seriously.<br />
<br />
Rest assured these few examples constitute a mere tip of the iceberg, there are plentiful more on the Humanoid Sightings site alone (some of them detailed in <a href="http://paranormalistics.blogspot.de/p/what-is-bigfoot.html">this article</a> on Paranormalistics) and even frequently in the YouTube comments section, this is from one of the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHrSAmXL7yU">stealth vids</a>:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>Thank you for making this video.. I'm from Idaho and have witness this with my own eyes before.. I had people think I was crazy for telling them about this.. I know what I saw... and also I seen them do a rocking side to side motion..[...] </i></blockquote>
As for encounters with ESP communication I haven't found many of them in Rosales archive. A few with only a sentence or two. Fortunately I have two books which are based upon <b>extensive </b>information exchange between humans and the Sasquatch people, so let us without further ado take a closer look at what they have to convey to humanity.<br />
<br />
<h3>
The Missing Link</h3>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
It's the year 1964 and a trucker has taken a few weeks off to look for gems in the deep wilderness of Oregon. A few days of hiking has put him far away from civilization and he's just about to pinpoint a river he's been looking for when he stumbles upon a wounded deer. An arrow is stuck in it's flesh but the man ties the animal to a tree and removes the arrow shortly thereafter. He spends a few hours fishing before he returns to his camp located in the same area where he found the deer. It's starting to get dark when he notices a peculiar creature observing him from a distance. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
He get's confused and thinks to himself "Geez, is that an animal? It looks rather human...", after only a few moments he hears a voice in his head saying <i>Don't be afraid, I'm not going to harm you. </i>The Sasquatch approaches the camp and sits down on a log 5-10 meters away from him and continues <i>I just want to rest and sit for a while</i>. <i>I just want to be with you for a while.</i> The trucker soon realizes that he is having a telepathic conversation with the huge hairy biped. It turns out that the Sasquatch got curious about the camper after he'd seen him take care of the deer, until then he'd only knew of humans harming animals. The conversation continues for approximately 2 hours before the forest giant waves good bye and disappears in the woods.***</blockquote>
If this story was the only one of it's kind there wouldn't be much reason to take it seriously. The reality though, is that this is one of <b>hundreds </b>of similar cases. <a href="http://sasquatchpeople.com/">Kewaunee Lapseritis</a> is a researcher who has spent a great deal of his life collecting this kind of experiences from witnesses first hand.<br />
<br />
So far he has written two books, <i>The Psychic Sasquatch and their UFO Connection </i>and <i>The Sasquatch People and their Interdimensional Connection, </i>both filled with witness accounts and much more. He got involved with the Sasquatch phenomenon when one of them contacted him through telepathy during a visit at a Native American reservation in 1973.<br />

<span style="color: #e69138; font-size: x-small;">Kewaunee Lapseritis, the author of the two books is one of few researchers who's had the guts and integrity to follow the trail of evidence even though it leads to uncomfortable territory.</span></div>

He and several others have been in contact with the Sasquatch people on and off for decades now, and the story that has emerged is of a most extraordinary sort. To this date <b>over 300 people</b> from all walks of life, including lawyers, professors and physicists, have been in touch with Lapseritis. This is what has unfolded so far****:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
The forest giants, or Sasquatch as they prefer to be called, have been roaming the Earth for millions of years. They inhabit most continents and just like us they vary in appearance, allegedly there are at least 7 different kinds of them. Even though they may have animal like traits they are highly intelligent <b>human</b> beings, in fact they are <b>considerably </b>more evolved than us. With their powerful <a href="https://karlpfeiffer.wordpress.com/2013/04/25/turns-out-esp-has-scientific-proof/">psychic abilities</a> they can communicate via their minds, astral project, teleport and much more. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
They frequent other realms or dimensions through certain portals, but how it works, why they are doing it and to what extent they're reluctant to tell us. As is the case with us humans, extraterrestrial entities have been in close contact with them since a long time; with the difference being a closer, wider and more open camaraderie. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
The Sasquatch people are deeply spiritual. This means that they respect all living things and that they are loving and peaceful to each other. Having observed humankind's destructive and self-loathing attitude for a long time now they tend to avoid us. Using their psychic skills they can easily avert any interaction with a human in the wilderness. Nonetheless they occasionally reach out to individuals with a developed spiritual awareness/an open and fearless heart. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
It may be that we are arrogant, self absorbed and ruthless in our ways, but the Sasquatch still care for us and they very much care for this planet which we have neglected in our pursuit for wealth. This is why they have increasingly been contacting us the last few decades, to let us know that our ways need to change. </blockquote>
<br />
Many years ago when Lapseritis asked one of them if they were the missing link, he got the following reply <i>No, </i><i style="font-weight: bold;">you </i><i>people are the missing link. You don't know where you've come from or where you're going!</i>. Considering: the raging wars we fight against each other, the serious environmental devastation caused by over-fishing and factory farms, the rampant destruction of our forests and rain forests, our society's overall goal being material riches ... I'm inclined to concur.<br />

<h3>
Coincidents and conversion</h3>
<br />
In the channeled Law of One-material, mentioned in greater detail in a <a href="http://psydonia.blogspot.de/2015/05/the-ringmakers.html">previous blog post</a>, there are a few passages concerning Bigfoot. One of them in particular got me thinking when I a few weeks later scanned through Humanoid Sighting Reports and unearthed a most bizarre encounter, seemingly closely related to the passage. Both pieces of information have to do with a nuclear event and fit together like hand in glove. Here's the Law of One bit:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<a href="http://www.lawofone.info/results.php?s=9#18">9.18</a> Questioner: Is there any particular race of people on our planet now who were incarnated here from second density?<br />
<br />
Ra: I am Ra. There are no second-density consciousness complexes here on your sphere at this time. However, there are two races which use the second-density form. One is the entities of the planetary sphere you call Maldek. These entities are working their understanding complexes through a series of what you would call karmic restitutions. They dwell within your deeper underground passageways and are known to you as “Bigfoot.”<br />
The other race is that being offered a dwelling in this density by guardians who wish to give the mind/body/spirit complexes of those who are of this density at this time appropriately engineered physical vehicles, as you would call these chemical complexes, in <b>the event that there is what you call nuclear wa</b>r. [my bold]</blockquote>
The encounter from Humanoid Encounters:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Location. Kountze, Texas<br />
Date: October 1999 Time: night<br />
The witness was driving through the town of Kountze after a night in Sour Lake and was returning to his then-residence some 15 miles further on, when his ears "almost burst" when a deafening sound not unlike a swarm of bees filled the interior of the car, and "made my ears pop like when you're on an airplane". Disoriented and suddenly dizzy, he stopped the car at the side of the road, got out, and was amazed to suddenly see a laser-like, pencil-thin shaft of red light appear about 10 to 15 feet in front of his car. Quick as a flash, the light disappeared, as did the strange buzzing noise that had so affected him. Not only that: he suddenly heard a diabolical roar coming from the woods of the Big Thicket, that sounded like that of a large, enraged wild animal---but a type that the witness had never before encountered. He quickly jumped back into his car and fled the scene. But the story was far from over. After retiring to his bed that night, the witness had a distinctly strange dream of a truly apocalyptic nature, in which the Earth was in ruins <b>following a planetary-wide nuclear exchange, and large, Bigfoot style entities surfaced out of the dark forests and woods to claim the Earth as their own</b>. And all the while, strange UFOs (like giant jelly-fish) soared overhead, as the last remnants of the human race attempted to stave off extinction. </blockquote>
The message from the so called Sasquatch whisperers more often than not relates to the dream in the sense that our technological advancement has superseded our spiritual side to a point where most of us doesn't even recognize the latter's existence. Therein lies a <b>great risk</b>. In order to counter the negative way of modern civilization a greater awareness of ourselves, the planet and the cosmos is necessary.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e69138; font-size: x-small;">The curious dream reminds me of a UFO-photo taken in Denmark in 1975.</span></div>
<br />
My feeling is that in the last decade or so, the giants have deliberately been letting themselves get documented on film more frequently, the reason being the turbulent times we are living in. How does this make sense? Well, if we for once would <b><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjwP48IIcSs">listen</a> </b>to what the <a href="http://www.bfro.net/legends/">First Nations people have to say</a>, the conclusion is a most <b>reasonable </b>one to make. We must acknowledge that we are the cause but at the same time the solution.<br />
<br />
As is the case with other paranormal phenomenon such as crop circles, UFO's and channeling - expressions by intelligences of a more evolved kind - the Bigfoot phenomenon tend to leave evidence that many times are impressive but always leaves room for doubt (except for the experiencer of course).<br />
<br />
Having in mind <b>the hollowness of a forced stance</b>, this way of information exchange do seem highly equitable. The next step into the future have to be made solely by us - the decision must be <b>our own</b>.<br />
<br />
But do we have the courage to base our next move on faith, or shall we forever be chained to the false comfort of 'knowing'? Ultimately a choice has to be made, let's hope it's the one of lesser limitations. <br />
<br />
---<br />
<br />
If you would tell a prominent person a 100 years ago that dolphins have a built in sonar that they use as their primary tool for navigation, communication etc., that person would likely have a hard time just grasping the idea of a sonar.<br />
<br />
Yet, that person, and every single person on this earth today have a mind, they are conscious. Ironically we haven't even begun figuring out the nature of consciousness, we don't even know if it's possible in any meaningful, <b>scientific </b>way.<br />
<br />
Gaining a greater understanding of the Sasquatch phenomenon has been one of my life long wishes. For many years it was archived in the back of my mind as something on par with Nessie and Thunderbirds.<br />
<br />
Then, 10 years ago, the Law of One material made an entrance into my life and with that a more serious interest was ignited. Only recently did I actually start to pay some attention to this particular topic, likely not earlier because of an incompatible personal development stage.<br />
<br />
It was with great joy that I realized that our friends, the forest people, are not only highly spiritual, but that they share the exact same view of the cosmos and its inhabitants as the one presented in the Law of One. Thus it all comes full circle.<br />
<br />
Separation is an illusion, we are all (manifestations of) One intelligent infinity, One eternal affection.<br />

Saturn certainly is one of the most spectacular members of our planetary family. The planets body could hold roughly 750 Earths, and it's mass is nearly one hundred times ours. But it is mainly its characteristic rings that makes it stand out among the rest of our neighbors, and quite rightfully so; for they are just as mysterious as they are beautiful. </h4>

The established astronomic consensus says that these rings are made up of ice chunks, with sizes ranging from specks of dust to blocks up to 10 meter in diameter. They reach the length of hundreds of thousands of kilometer, yet their thickness of a mere 10 meter conforms to that of a razor blade to a basketball.</div>

came across a book with the intriguing title <i>Ringmakers of Saturn*</i> by Norman Bergrun<i>.</i> In the book he presents a plethora of (very) technical information, which according to him, answers the question
of their origin. </span><br />

Now before
we go into the actual data and its additional comments, a short presentation
of the author is in order. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: x-small;">Norman Bergrun and his book Ringmakers of Saturn.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dr. Norman Bergrun has had quite a career working 12 years as a researcher at NACA (predecessor to NASA) before he moved on to Lockheed Missile and Space Company (later Lockheed Martin) where he during his 13 years of service, among other things, was in charge of planning and analysis of flight tests for the Navy Polaris Underwater Launch Missile System. His background is quite extensive and you can read more about it <a href="http://emvsinfo.blogspot.de/2011/03/1999-interview-with-dr-norman-bergrun_18.html">here</a>, or see his complete cv listed at the bottom of this article. Needless to say, this guy is about as knowledgeable as they come.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: justify;">It’s therefore very interesting to read his book which is made up of Bergrun’s meticulous scrutiny of circa 40 pictures of Saturn and it's rings taken by Voyager 1 and 2. The info is extremely dry and technical, but if you start from the beginning and read it slowly to the end, and take time to carefully study every picture that is being presented, you can kind of see where he's coming from and what he’s aiming at, but as he himself put it “if you are looking for entertainment, this is not the book”.</span></div>

<span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: x-small;">Some of the images are easier to understand than others, </span><span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: x-small;"> </span><span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: x-small;">but please note that there's a textual context to take into account when studying them. During his career Dr. Bergrun went through literally miles of photo coverage-film, so he should know what's up.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to Bergrun several of the Voyager pictures shows evidence of gigantic cylindrical vehicles residing in the rings. Furthermore, some of them even seem to spew out exhaust energy of some kind, which in combination with the fact that the rings change form and sometimes brakes, leads him to conclude that they are in fact the results of these space craft’s emissions.<br />
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The tricky lingo and the hard-to-tell-what's-going-on-pictures are hurdles that perhaps only a degree in engineering might overcome, but all-in-all his theory is coherent. Albeit far out, but least it’s something compared to the <i>nix </i>of the establishment. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the closing chapter of the book he allows for some personal reflection on the matter. One of the things he brings up is the Tunguska incident in 1908, where some kind of object – according to eye witnesses <i>cylindrical </i>in shape – appeared over the Siberian skies and exploded with a force greater than a thousand Hiroshima bombs [sic].<br />
<br />
Many theories have been put forth as to what caused the immense blast, but none as good as to explain all of the aspects involved. Bergrun however, suggests that the object likely was some kind of craft of Saturnian origin.<br />
<br />
I wouldn't normally make much fuss about a claim like this [particular] one, but as a matter of fact I've stumbled upon a couple of remarkable correlations from other sources that leaves me no other choice but to seriously consider the reality of the Saturnian Overlords.</div>

<h3>
<span style="color: #b4a7d6; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The Council</span></h3>
<br />
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
About the same time as Dr. Bergrun sat somewhere in Nevada working on Ringmakers a group of three quite extraordinary individuals in Kentucky were hard at work<br />
<br />
During 1981-1984 a group of three individuals was hard at work channeling an intelligence called Ra, a societal mind complex, who gave extraordinary and consistent answers to the group’s questions regarding existence, cosmos, ethics, humankind, physics and more.<br />
<br />
All together, a cosmic philosophy, based on the idea that everything, us included, ultimately is part of One Intelligent Infinity, is being presented**.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
This philosophy has played a significant role in my life, and to this day continues to inspire and give meaning to it. As I consider it to be trustworthy I don’t dismiss anything of it, and so far haven’t had any reason to either.<br />
<br />
All of the statements, the more outlandish ones included, seem to be independently confirmed by other (fringe) sources. In my Swedish blog I have followed up on several of Ra’s mentions, e.g. <a href="http://www.solnedgang.se/2015/04/de-missforstadda.html">Bigfoot</a>, <a href="http://www.solnedgang.se/2015/02/ufo-fragans-implikationer-del_17.html">Breakaway Civilizations</a> and <a href="http://www.solnedgang.se/2014/12/ringmakarna.html">Saturn</a>; and there’s always something there to be found, usually of a highly fascinating as well as entertaining nature. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The topic of Saturn is touched upon in three separate channeling sessions (<a href="http://www.lawofone.info/results.php?s=6">6</a>, <a href="http://www.lawofone.info/results.php?s=14">14</a> and <a href="http://www.lawofone.info/results.php?s=30">30</a>). In both #6 and #30 Ra tells us about a Council of benevolent beings who dwell in what we see as the rings: </div>

<span lang="EN-GB">So both are talking about Saturnians, even though it’s not clear if we should be able to see the Council or not, seeing as it is positioned in
the eight octave/dimension of the planet’s rings. </span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-GB">For years I've found it curious that they both talk about intelligent beings around Saturn. However it wasn’t until about six months ago, when I
read through the <i>whole </i>Ringmakers of Saturn, that I found out that they also have similar views on what happened over Tunguska.</span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-GB">Let’s take a look at what they have to say, starting with the passage from Bergrun's book:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: right;">[...] To illustrate, a sudden change in the surface of the Earth occurred 30 June 1908. On this day, a violent thunderous explosion rocked an area near Tunguska in Central Siberia, USSR. Twelve hundred square miles became devastated. Small villages and wildlife disappeared during this blast. A large forest was flattened. According to eye-witness accounts, a flaming cylindrical object was sighted in the vicinity just prior to the explosion. After years of intensive study and scientific research, a firm conclusion has been drawn that the devastation had been caused by an aerial nuclear explosion. Supporting this conclusion is the Hiroshima nuclear-bomb destruction which produced a surfacedevastation pattern similar to that recorded at Tunguska. Some scientists go farther with an assertion that the devastation had been caused by an extraterrestrial spaceship which exploded. After all nuclear bombs had not been invented at the time of the 1908 explosion; and furthermore, they submit, there were eyewitnesses. The Tunguska story affirms the existence of cylindrical vehicles and their nuclear character.</span></span></blockquote>

<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Most people of today are convinced that an anonymous group of people, equipped with wooden planks and string, are responsible for the crop circle phenomenon; but can all of the remarkable patterns really be explained away that easily, or are we dealing with a genuine mystery here? And if this is the case, what is it trying to tell us?</h3>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For hundreds of years, strange formations have been reported in the crop fields of southern Britain. These patterns have often appeared within very short periods of time, mostly over night, but in some documented cases lesser than an hour, in broad daylight. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Many times mysterious white orbs have been seen in the vicinity, and people have also experienced malfunctioning of electric equipment upon entering the creations. Explanations for them have varied, ranging from bizarre weather to the Devil himself; however, due to an asinine confession and chequebook journalism the crop circle phenomenon as a whole was written off as a man-made hoax in the early 90's. Until this day, the mainstream maintains this stance.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Obviously many of the circles are man-made and usually they're easy to spot due to their limited size and rough execution, although there are those of a more refined character. Nonetheless some of them display attributes to which no reasonable explanation has ever been given, namely the following two: <b>elongated nodes</b> (thus allowing them to be bent without being damaged) and <b>blown nodes</b>.<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The characteristics have been thoroughly documented. During the 90's notable biophysicist Dr. W C. Levengood conducted a series of in depth investigations of the phenomenon, in which he compared stalks from circles to control samples outside of them. Not only did the nodes stand out to the naked eye, but microscopic analysis further revealed that the crystalline structure of the circle plants showed significant changes in comparison to the control samples.</div>

<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It should be mentioned that the skeptical community wants to blame the added length on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phototropism">phototropism</a> and the blown ones on the heat of the sun [sic]. It's true that phototropism has an effect on the plants in question, but it's trifling at best, and doesn't account for the great changes that some crop show.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With the help of microscopes another oddity has been found. Soil samples from certain circles have revealed tiny magnetized spheres. They consist of pure iron and their quality indicates that a magnetic field was present when they came to existence. Control samples from outside the formations did not feature any spheres.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Even though it's perfectly clear that a human touch hasn't been involved in the creation of some of the circles, it shall not be forgotten that some of us are capable of creating quite complex patterns even during night time. This has been proven several times and skeptics frequently use it as an argument; if humans can do it, why look for other explanations? Aside from the points previously mentioned there are other limitations to our capabilities that are often overlooked.</div>

When first watching this video I was very impressed and even started questioning my previous conclusions about the phenomenon. It sure is convincing in it's presentation. After looking at it a few more times it became clear that even though it proclaims to solve the enigma it leaves a lot of questions unanswered. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For example the question of complex woven patterns is being addressed, but their explanation „the design of the formation dictates the lay of the crop, plus size of the board are in part responsible for the complex woven patterns“ have little to none substance, especially when applied to a formation like this:</div>

<span style="color: #ffd966; font-size: x-small;">Eastfield, Alton Barnes, Wiltshire, 14th July, 2009. Yet another pristine effect could be enjoyed through this crop circle. Sadly the field was harvested a few hours after its discovery. </span></div>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It should also be mentioned that they
don't show any close ups of the crop. Most likely this was
intentional. They also throw in some horrendously bad man-made
circles with 'authentic' ones during the first half of the clip.
National Geographic has also been involved in a similar coup of
deceit. You can see it being debunked <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMOezRBwHWo">here</a> and <a href="http://www.cropcirclesandmore.com/thoughts/201105aoc.html">here</a>.</div>

There is more to be said about this, but when it all comes down to it the circle artists rely
heavily on the public's eagerness for convenient explanations. No other reason can justify how they can get away with
mere assertions over the Internet. I find that <a href="http://www.circlemakers.org/la.html">this
interview</a>, taken from cropcirclemakers.com - a site dedicated to explain them all as works of wooden boards - with an alleged circle maker named Rob Dickinson perfectly underlines the absurdity of the issue, here are a couple of
excerpts:
</div>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br />I pointed out that the Stonehenge Julia Set had evidently appeared in broad daylight, in a span of perhaps 45 minutes.<br /> RD: "That isn't true," Rod insisted. "It was made the previous night, by three people, in about two and three-quarters hours, starting around 2:45 am (on Sunday morning, July 7). It was there all that day. When that doctor flew over, he just didn't see it the first time. That happens a lot. His report was wrong. He just didn't see it."<br />//<br />ML: "OK, so you say that the Stonehenge Julia Set was created in less than three hours, in pitch darkness, by three people, and you know who they are...<br />RD: "Yes"<br />//<br />ML: "Did the group that made the Stonehenge Julia Set also make the Triple Julia?"<br />RD: "Yes, same group."<br />ML: "What evidence could they show for that?" I asked.<br />RD: "Well, there is a diagram of the formation, which I've seen. That's about all."<br />I returned to the question of getting the "artists" who created the Julia Sets to come forward and demonstrate how they did it. [...]<br />ML: "If they came forward and made another one just like the Stonehenge Julia Set, what would it really prove?" Rod asked me. "Would it convince the believers that there are no real circles?"</span></blockquote>

The phenomenon was once actually considered a genuine mystery by the mainstream until two elderly gentlemen by the names of Doug and Dave came along and claimed responsibility for it in 1991. The media quickly bought their story and since then ... Well, not much has changed. As a matter of fact they actually agreed to create one for everybody to see, strangely enough it didn't get much attention compared to their narrative.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
During broad day light almost next to one of Britain's best guarded monuments, a spectacular crop circle arose within a time period of roughly 45 minutes. This was in 1996 and the monument was of course Stonehenge. Not only is a busy highway running right between them but the air space above is heavily trafficked, it has therefore been possible to nail down the time frame to a surprisingly exact number of minutes.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Because it all happened during day time and near a highway, lots of witnesses apparently saw the magnificent structure take form. Very few testimonies have found their way to the web, researcher Lucy Pringle fortunately has one on her excellent webpage though. According to the witness, who happened to be driving by during its formation, this is what happened:</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">“A car drew out and she managed to pull into the empty space and got out and joined the crowd of other people who were also watching what was happening. "There was an apparition, an isolated mist over it and as the circle was getting bigger the mist was rising above the circle. As the mist rose it got bigger and corn circle got bigger."<br /><br /> “There was a mist was about 2-3 feet off the ground and it was sort of spinning around and on the ground a circular shape was appearing which seemed to get bigger and bigger as simultaneously the mist get bigger and bigger and swirled faster."*</span></blockquote>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For the experienced researcher this may contradict various other witness testimonies in which the circles form in a matter of seconds, and rather by light phenomenon than mist. For example reports of light beams have been observed just before the appearance of new formations, the most common oddity however, is the sphere of light. There have been many reports and even video recordings of them flying nearby freshly made ones. Only in the infamous <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApP1Ze_IcU8">Oliver's Castle-video</a>** they're actually involved in creating one, in the rest of the footage acquired they simply move around.</div>

Another bizarre case involves an off duty police officer who happened to see three persons on a field while driving home from work on the 6th of July 2009. He stopped his car and started to walk towards them. As he got closer he noticed that they all were of unusual height, at least 185 cm, and all with long blonde hair. They wore clothing resembling white coveralls. </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He tried to shout at them but they failed to notice him. As the officer entered the field he started to hear a buzzing sound similar to that of static electricity. The hair on his arms and neck began to stand up. A moment later they turned their heads and saw him: and apparently they weren't keen on being discovered so they took off on foot. In the words of the witness:</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">“They ran faster than any man I have ever seen. I’m no slouch but they were moving so fast. I looked away for a second and when I looked back they were gone. I then got scared. The noise was still around,but I got an uneasy feeling and headed for the car.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Notice how the policeman got the impression that there was some kind of electric energy present. This is something that has been reported in many other instances as well; in fact it's quite common that electrical equipment behaves strange inside circles. Cell phones and video cameras often shut down and refuse to resume, batteries drain in moments, compasses spin around and the instruments in helicopters and air planes are affected in such a high degree that pilots often refuse to fly right over a formation.</div>

<a href="http://www.colinandrews.net/">Colin Andrews</a> is one of, if not -the-, leading crop circle researcher in the world, he even coined the term. In the year 2000 he conducted several magnetometer surveys on various formations in the UK. The picture above shows the result of 92 measurements executed on that particular formation. As you can see, well-defined magnetic fields were associated with each of the four outer circles.****</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Could the magnetic fields account for the irregular behavior of electric devices used in a circle? Surely a linkage must be considered.</div>

<h3>
The Content</h3>
</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While the identity of the makers remains a mystery, the content of their creations is oftentimes clear. Mathematical principles and sacred geometry intermingled with cultural symbolism are dominant themes. From pi and the golden ratio to Mayan art and DNA-helixes - in other words: cosmic beauty. More often than not (if not always) the designs encompass a spiritual significance, evident through the presence of a square and circle – and the ratios between them. </div>

There exists an ancient mathematical problem called squaring the circle. It addresses the problem of creating a square with the exact same area of a given circle, using only compass and straightedge. In 1882 the task was concluded impossible. Interestingly enough many of the crop formations suggest (near) perfect solutions to the problem, in a very elegant way to add.</div>

The circle typically represents the spirit - the divine, metaphysical - whereas the square stands for matter, the physical world, and in many senses: ourselves. When they appear together a reunification of flesh and soul is implied. Considering how regularly these forms show up in crop arrangements, it could well be that the responsible intelligence is trying to convey something of great importance to us.</div>

<h3>
Into the Future</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div lang="en-US">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I've been researching the fringe for many years now
and I've come to notice that mysteries have a tendency to
manifest in ways that leave room for doubt. I suspect that the key
reason for this is to keep our free will intact. The growth of any
entity is dependent on the choices it makes, to leave no room for
question would be the equivalent of giving an order; thus dismantling
any opportunity for learning.
</div>
</div>
<div lang="en-US">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div lang="en-US">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
None of us doubt our feelings; they even rule our
lives to such a degree that they define us and our phenomenology. Yet
they are outside of the realms of the scientific methodology, being
neither reproducible nor measurable. Faith, in this case, seems to
suffice.</div>
</div>
<div lang="en-US">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div lang="en-US">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The crop circle phenomenon reminds us that we are
part of a reality beyond our comprehension, part of an impenetrable, wondrous mystery - and at the same time, it suggests that all is well, understanding is
not of importance</div>
</div>
<div lang="en-US">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div lang="en-US">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Assuming there's a metaphysical component to us, we
must remain open to the idea that the next step in our evolution very
well could be spiritual in nature. This would mean that we ourselves are in control of our evolutionary progress.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Maybe the intelligence behind the formations sees this and is offering those of us who have an urge and a willingness to remember a helping hand - bringing together the circle with the square - in the most tangible sense.</div>

When adding that National Geographic made up information about it, one probably should just walk away from this one. How one goes faking it beats me though, and the footage is very impressive indeed, fake or not.</span><br />

<b>It is known as the bastard son of esoterica and has become the go to-example whenever pareidolia is mentioned.

Preface</h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In Carl Sagan's last book <a href="http://falsafat.net/books/The_Demon-Haunted_World.pdf">The Demon Haunted World</a> he wrote the following regarding the puzzling structures on Mars:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was probably sculpted by slow geological process over millions of years. But I might be wrong. […] </div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Much more detailed photos of the Face would surely settle issues of symmetry and help resolve the debate between geology and monumental sculpture. </div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
[…] I hope that forthcoming American and Russian missions to Mars, especially orbiters with high-resolution television cameras, will make a special effort – among hundreds of other scientific questions - to look much more closely at the pyramids and what some people call the Face and the city.</div>
</blockquote>
<br /></div>
<div lang="en-US">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today we have the data that Sagan was hoping for, and I'm positive that he would be quite intrigued by what it tells us, especially regarding the<i> issues of symmetry</i>. But first I believe a quick historical recap is in order. Let's turn back the clock to 1976, it's late July and NASA has finally succeeded with sending an orbiter to Mars ...<br />

The Appearance and the Banishment</h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div lang="en-US">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is during a fly over of a region known as Cydonia, when the Viking 1-orbiter snaps an intriguing shot of what appears to be a gigantic structure resembling a human face. NASA honors the find with a press release saying that a unique face like feature has been found on Mars. However, the mystique instantly fades when the media is informed that another picture, taken mere hours after, reveals that the face indeed was nothing more than an optical illusion; trickery of light and shadows - a curiosity at best. “Nothing to see here folks, move along...”</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Even though the (second) picture in question never gets shown, the public quickly backs off. Nevermind that NASA shortly after the announcement changed Viking 2's landing spot, which originally was supposed to be the Cydonia region, to a much rockier zone called Utopia, far away from any enigmatic monument. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Four years later, in 1980, two engineers, Vincent DiPietro and Greg Molenaar, were blessed
with the task of going through all the data that the Viking orbiter
had collected. In doing so they stumbled upon the mysterious second
picture, and as it turned out, the face<i> </i>was <i>still there</i>, despite
differing light conditions and another camera angle.</div>

<span style="color: #cccccc;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Frame 70A13 was taken almost a month after the first picture. The light and angle differs, yet the facial features remains. </span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Further examination revealed that the photo was taken almost a month after the first one, and that the orbiter not only <i>didn't</i> but also <i>couldn't</i> have taken another snapshot of the face a few hours after wards, as it was mapping out the other side of the sphere at that time. In other words: they lied about the second picture. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ultimately the engineers publish a detailed analysis of the anomalous structures in the Cydonia area called <i>Unusual Martian Surface Features</i>, favoring an artificial origin to them. Regrettably, neither NASA or the public pay any attention to their findings. It will take two decades before the Face resurfaces from the murky depths of oblivion.</div>

The late 90's Cat-roversy</h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Although few scientists believed the Face was an alien artifact, photographing Cydonia became a priority for NASA when Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) arrived at the Red Planet in Sept. 1997, eighteen long years after the Viking missions ended. "We felt this was important to taxpayers," explained Jim Garvin, chief scientist for NASA's Mars Exploration Program. "We photographed the Face as soon as we could get a good shot at it."</div>
</blockquote>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When reading the <a href="http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2001/ast24may_1/">story on NASA's official web page</a> you easily get the impression that during the end of the millennium they indeed had a great interest in the anomalies of Mars. This is clearly not the case seeing as how not too long ago the object of interest was discarded as a pile of rocks by the very same agency. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A press conference was held shortly after the new pictures were taken, and once again the Face was declared to be the work of people's imaginations. The picture that was sent out to international press seemingly confirms this.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As you can see the facial features are completely gone, instead we are looking at something more similar to the random mess of a cat's litter box, hence the nickname "The Cat Box". However, one must admit that it looks rather strange, not really on par with what you would expect the Martian terrain to actually look like. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Comprehensive image analysis from various independent researchers concludes that the picture has been subject to manipulation.* Most obvious being the excessive filtering rendering the mesa to look virtually flat. Moreover only a total of 42 out of 256 possible gray values are featured. Alas, the agency of no straight answers pulled off yet another deceptive stunt. Strike two.</div>

releases a fresh batch of slides. Finally we get a fair trail in the case of the martian mug shoot.<br />

"These images of the Cydonia region on Mars are truly spectacular," said Dr Agustin Chicarro, ESA Mars Express Project Scientist. "They not only provide a completely fresh and detailed view of an area famous to fans of space myths worldwide, but also provide an impressive close-up over an area of great interest for planetary geologists, and show once more the high capability of the Mars Express camera."</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Spectacular pictures yes, the rest of the statement raises some questions. You would think that the new pictures, which look a lot more like the original Viking ones than the 1998 MGS frauds, would re-spark some kind of debate, but no. Instead they are interpreted as the last nail in the coffin for all the "space myth fans" (the whole article called <a href="http://space.about.com/od/mars/a/esa_cydonia.htm">ESA's View of Cydonia - The Face on Mars</a> is filled with similar derogatory references, Mac Tonnies eloquently addressed them <a href="http://posthumanblues.blogspot.de/2006/09/misleading-text-from-esa-face-on-mars.html">here</a>.) out there. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But at least the pictures didn't lie this time ... Well, not entirely. For some reason ESA also decided to publish a <a href="http://www.esa.int/Our_Activities/Space_Science/Mars_Express/Cydonia_-_the_face_on_Mars">3D animated version of the Face</a> featuring a horn on it's forehead, a trait that<b> does not exist</b>. The Cydonia Institute does <a href="http://thecydoniainstitute.com/The-ESA-Team-Creates-a-Horned-Face.php">a great job</a> in pointing out the absence of any horned feature in any other of the pictures and renderings of the mesa, including those by ESA. No explanation for the horn has been given and inquiries** continues to be ignored, thus strongly suggesting a blunt disinformation ploy. Strike three.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
Unlocking the Secrets of Cydonia</h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It has been demonstrated that the various space agencies are pushing a certain agenda regarding the structures in the Cydonia region. Sadly, this means that the official conclusions are <i>not to be trusted</i>. Ironically the lying and manipulation of data ultimately gives less credence to the idea they so desperately want you to believe. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If we ignore their speculative assertions and instead follow the data we can still manage to get a grasp of what we are dealing with here. For example, looking at the latest image of the Face one may notice the two perfectly straight lines in the upper left corner, framing the facial features. This reminds us of the symmetrical aspects which Carl Sagan in his last book said would be the game breaker. Evidently, the elements of regularity are striking.<br />

<span style="color: #cccccc; font-size: x-small;">This break down made by the deviantart user "jubran" makes a strong case for the Face being a construct.</span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Face is located within close proximity of other enigmatic formations referred to as "The City", "The Fort", "The D&M Pyramid" and more. Of course this further supports the idea of artificiality. But NASA doesn't agree, not surprisingly the whole region gets the same type of cold hand treatment. In comparison to what geologists and archaeologists find interesting here on Earth, you'll have to once again wonder how this can be.</div>

Let us then assume for a moment that we are dealing with remnants of an ancient civilization on Mars. Plainly this has tremendous implications, one being that a sophisticated intelligence existed in our solar system long before modern man lit his first fire. This would likely cause or view of ourselves as a unique type of intelligence to shatter in a heartbeat, no longer would we be the masters of our realm. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Furthermore we might ask who they were and where they went. Were they extinct or are there still some of them there? Perhaps they took off to some other place, maybe even Earth? And if so, could they have influenced our history? In the light of the severe ramifications that would follow a disclosure, NASA's stance does make sense. Why upset the Status Quo when one can simply lie. </div>
