This was emailed to me, and there are things in it that require some commentary: The Next Genetic Assembly Line I am not at all surprised, nor, I suspect, are you, that DARPA (the Defense Advanced research Projects Agency) would be, once again, on the cutting edge of advocating a "genetic assembly line" for reproducing a "new" kind of human being, born in an Ehrlenmeyer flask and nurtured in a laboratory culture, as it were. After all, DARPA gave us the internet, and with it, gave us a huge and massive cultural transformation which we are still in the midst of, and which no one really … [Read more...]

CROP CIRCLES IN A BINARY CODE?
Normally I do not comment on videos, but this one was sent to me by Mr. V.T., and since many of you have written to me privately to ask me what I think of crop circles, I couldn't resist commenting on this one. It's in Spanish, but there are English subtitles, and it's only about ten minutes long: Now it strikes me as extremely odd that "ET" would seek to communicate by such a bizarre method, especially if his message is that he(that is, ET), is actually one of the Annunaki-Mesopotamian gods, in this case Ea-Enki, returning... While I won't go into details here on why I think this, I do … [Read more...]
NEUROWEAPONRY AND RELIGION
Remember yesterday's blog about the mapping of areas of the brain where "sacred" or "core" beliefs were stored? In it, I raised the speculative possibilities that this presents for a technology of psychological and social engineering. Well, as a follow-up, we have this interesting piece, submitted to me by Mr. V.T., from The Winnepeg Free Press: Ethics of 'neuro-weaponry' hard to wrap your brain around Now consider the implications and meanings of some of those statements in the article: "'We are approaching a time when brain science will be critical to our national security," confirmed … [Read more...]
THE SACRED PART OF THE BRAIN
My friend George Ann Hughes of the Byte Show sent me the following interesting article about the most recent discoveries of neurophysiology: Some things ARE sacred: Scientists find beliefs that we won't 'sell out' are kept in a different part of the brain Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2090592/Some-things-ARE-sacred-Scientists-different-area-brain.html#ixzz1lMJwzt3f What intrigues me here are the possibilities such a discovery offers to the elite. Consider the following statements from the article: "The Emory University researchers used magnetic resonance … [Read more...]
THE ALCHEMY OF SOCIAL ENGINEERING AND SELF-ORGANIZING SYSTEMS
A Mr. V.T. brought to my attention the following profoundly interesting article at phys.org: People behave socially and 'well' even without rules: study There are a number of things I find interesting here. First, with the emergence of physicists into the world of finance, a move that began as a trickle in the 1950s, grew to a small stream in the 1960s, and into a veritable flood in the 1980s, a whole new science - econophysics - was born, as those trained in advanced statistical modeling techniques in quantum mechanics began to apply the same techniques to modelling the aggregate … [Read more...]
HIDDEN ELITES, ANALOGICAL CALCULUS, AND SOCIAL ENGINEERING IN ISAAC ASIMOV’S FOUNDATION NOVELS
Hidden Elites, Analogical Calculus, and Social Engineering in Isaac Asimov's Foundation Novels By Joseph P. Farrell copyright © 2011 by Joseph P. Farrell There has been a trend within the alternative community lately, emanating from certain well-known names, to present scenarios “argued” in part from dubious ex post facto interpretations of data, to reliance upon the similarities between “reality” and the science fiction of well-known authors such as Arthur C. Clarke or Isaac Asimov. Here I intend to analyze the work of the latter, specifically the well-known Foundation series … [Read more...]
ISAAC ASIMOV’S “PSYCHOHISTORY” GETS A STEP CLOSER TO REALITY
Years ago I read the famous Isaac Asimov's Foundation novels. While this is not the place for a detailed exploration of the themes of those books - I plan to do a members' paper on this topic and am in fact in the process of writing it now - it is worth noting its central premise. In the books, a mathematician, Hari Seldon, invents a technique of modeling aggregate human behavior, both in the past and present, and making future predictions of aggregate behavior. He does so at a time when the galactic empire is entering decline, and some in the corridors of power know this. Seldon calls his … [Read more...]
MORE ANTI-TERRORISM SOCIAL ENGINEERING…COURTESY OF DARPA
You may never have heard of Darren Brown, the amazing British illusionist who accomplished his tricks through an extraordinary gift for neuro-linguistic programming, nor, indeed, may you have heard of neuro-linguistic programming. But the idea is, I suspect, rather self-evident from the terminology used to describe it: programming the mind through the clever manipulation of words and concepts, to effect/affect a change in the neurophysiological pathways of a target's brain itself. Well, now DARPA, the Defense Advance Projects Research Agency is in on the act, so phys.org is … [Read more...]
THE FIRST CYBORG IS A RAT
Well the mad scientists are at it again, busily at work in their alchemical laboratories concocting ever more bizarre experiments and creations. Check this out: Scientists create cyborg rat with artificial cerebellum Yup. You read that correctly: they've now installed a computer chip into a rat with a damaged brain that is capable of receiving information directly from the rat's nerves, and then sending its own signals directly into its brain. In short, we've now got public record of the proof-0f-concept experiment that so many transhumanists are talking about: the potential to enhance … [Read more...]
