COLLATERALIZING SPACE: PLANETARY RESOURCES COMPANY AND ASTEROID MINING

Ever since the bizarre Japanese Bearer Bonds scandals, with its alleged one billion dollar Kennedy bearer bond, I have been intrigued with two notions: (1) a hidden system of finance, put into place after World War Two, and using plundered Axis loot, and (2) its use foe a variety of covert projects and operations, most of them developing black technologies deeply related to the development and exploitation of space. It was the so-called Kennedy bearer bond, in all its self-evident hoaxed nature, that caused me to think about what the hidden truth might be. There was no doubt in my mind then, and there remains none now, that in spite of its clear nature as a hoax, it was designed to send a message.

For those who don't know about that particular bearer bond, the only examples of it are on the internet. The obverse bears, of course, a likeness of President John F Kennedy. But the reverse shows, curiously, three things: (1) the LEM, or Lunar Excursion Module, the actual vehicle of the Apollo program used to land on the lunar surface (2) the space shuttle, and (3) an image of the cratered lunar surface. The strange combination of symbols on the "bond" suggested to me that there was a hidden system of finance, and that part of that system involved the creation of vast amounts of leverage, entirely hidden, in return for a "stake in whatever was found out there."

Succinctly put, space had been collateralized, and that almost from the inception of the space race.

Now there is further confirmation here:

Planetary Resources.com

That's right, a corporation, complete with website, and a "team", all about privatizing space and going out to mine asteroids and find....whatever. There is, you'll note, even a tab labeled "asteroids," all for themselves, another indicator of vast resources awaiting us, if we can just get to them and mine them.

But what interests me most here are the "team members," which you can view by clicking on the site's "Team" button.  Three members in particular interest me, Dr Peter Diamandis, in the advisors category, former Air Force Chief of Staff General Michael Moseley, and in the investors' category, Mr. Ross Perot, Jr. The last name, of course, speaks for itself as a measure of political and corporate independence. The presence of a former Air Force General suggests that the links between the developing corporatization  of space and the military will be maintained, and most likely, as a two-way street of advice, intelligence, and idea-and-concept sharing. Such is to be expected.  It is Dr Diamandis who most intrigues here, as the short biographical note concerning him indicates that he  is "the Executive Chairman of Singularity University based in Silicon Valley." "Singularity" is, of course, transhumanist code, and in some circles, denotes the extension and expansion of human capabilities - and presence - on a universal scale. Space, of course, would be part and parcel of such an agenda, and in this sense, the corporatization and commercial development of space would easily play into this. One gains a measure of the seriousness of this goal in yet another note contained in Diamandis' biographical note: "Diamandis’ mission is to open the space frontier for humanity. His personal motto is: 'The best way to predict the future is to create it yourself.'" These are serious people, so whatever NASA or other national or international space agencies may be planning, the competition from the private sector will only grow. The corporatization of space is one to watch, folks.

See you on the flip side.

    This photo was taken by my brother’s co-worker, he is very reticent to talk about it as he has been thoroughly ridiculed by exposing the picture.

    I myself have seen a curious object fly extremely quickly into the atmosphere and split into two (I live near an airport and have worked at an air show, so I know what civilian and military craft look like and how they behave), I am also aware of sun effects.

    The Southern hemisphere is a perfect location for black ops (anti gravity) operations due to the lack of land mass, low populations and sparse observatories (mostly in remote locations, like Antarctica and New Zealand).

    NASA is clealy a front organization for tier two scientists (an expression coined by James McCanney, probably the most ridiculed astronomer on the planet).

    This technology exists NOW, the Dr is correct, if they are talking about this now they have been doing this for years. Goodness only knows how much gold has already been mined, of course only the black arena knows as any revelation would cause the price to plummet.

      I have family that live in Coober Pedy, Sth Australia. They have always said that their part of the world is a UFO hotspot.

      They don’t know if they are of ET origin or not, but more people are suspecting nowadays that what they see buzzing around the locality may infact be locally produced hardware out of Pine Gap in the Territory and the former Nurrungar base there in Sth Australia.

      Australia is an ideal place to hide secret technology and associated experimentation – far more secure than the mainland United States.

        Your right Enlil, those two sightings I mentioned are just the tip of the iceberg, countless people have these sightings across Australia.

        It makes perfect sense, people are unaware of just how sparsely populated Australia is, it has a smaller population than Metro Tokyo on a continent the size of Europe. And 50 % of that population resides in two cities.

        It is too far South for prying eyes and the only country nearby (Indonesia, Papua New Guinea is effectively an Australian colony) is a US ally.

    I’m contemplating an email –

    “Gentlemen, exactly what means of techology do you intend using to capture theses asteroids – conventional petro-chemical rockets”?

    Wow, and all in black and white for all to see. Did you note the guy who is ex Goldman Sleezze, just that right there is a dead giveaway.

    The thing that gets me is, what do they do all day at the office, stare at computer screens and drink coffee?

    They are not going anywhere soon unless they “suddenly” come up with some very exotic transport, and if they do that, well we all know.

    Off topic;
    I know all of us are thinking about Syria right now, and I would guess all of us here are wondering why Joseph hasn’t commented on it. It’s probably because his thoughts are the same as ours, totally insane. The elites have pulled the strings and the puppets have danced.

    Points well taken about the “members,” now including Richard Branson.

    I was s truck by the offer to use their space based telescopes starting as low as $30k. That puts some pretty sophisticated extra-atmospheric imaging capabilities in a lot more hands.

    Wonder what we could find on the Moon with that? Kickstarter campaign, anyone?

    Tidy little package – find an asteroid with their telescopes, then they help you go get it. Not a bad business model, if it’s legit.



    • shockandawe on September 3, 2013 at 2:37 pm

      Jon: Kickstarter. I seem to recall, the space based tel was crowdfunded and did very well.

    Anyone for Moon 44 as we can look forward to corporate piracy as the rival corporatizations shoot it out over who will claim the lion share of the resources of the solar system. And we will be forced to pay for this corporate looting with our blood and money as usual history never changes.

    Is Planetary resources the military-intelligence response to civilian-founded Deep Space Industries? Check http://deepspaceindustries.com/team/ These two companies have exactly the same agenda: asteroid mining. They are barely off the ground and they are already competing. What’s going on here?



    • jedi on September 3, 2013 at 11:35 am

      there is no intelligence behind the military, its just a asterik.

      Think of it, as pears or ape els if you will, operating salty computers….eventually the shoe shine boys malfunction.

    when it comes to this apparatus, my gut reaction is no logic behind it, and no empathy towards the intended recipients……if anyone finds a slice of bacon in the documents etchings, my suspension of dis belief will neither be confirmed nor denied,

    Please take a look at the corporation: D-Wave. Adiabatic Quantum Computing. Silicon Valley of course. HQ in British Columbia.

    From my research, this is the primary tool in “their” search for singularity.
    It has of course, nearly endless uses.

    The Adiabatic computational method, is other-dimensional.

    Another rabbit hole for you, “not-the-average-Joe”.

    Onward and Upward!
