RT: NEW DNA TECHNIQUE COULD HELP IN THE SEARCH FOR ET

...yes, you read the title of this blog correctly, and the article in question was sent by Mr. S.D., and as you can imagine, it has my high octane speculation transmission running in overdrive. In fact, this article is so bizarre in its implications that I had some difficulty determining just where I should "file" it: transhumanism? Cosmic war? Call it conspiracy? UFOs? You tell me? In the end I decided on "Cosmic war" because...well, we'll get to that.

The article itself if short on details, and long on implications, so without further ado, here it is:

Reprograming life? Gamechanger DNA could revolutionize medicine, help us find aliens

The long and short of it is this:

Researchers at the NASA-funded Foundation for Applied Molecular Evolution have created a new form of the DNA double helix with an additional four nucleotides dubbed ‘hachimoji DNA’ (from the Japanese words for ‘eight letters’).

DNA code, which makes up all biology and chemistry observed by mankind, consists of the nucleotides or ‘letters’: adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G) and cytosine (C).

Now, we have the new, artificial ‘letters’ labeled P, B, Z and S that introduce dozens of new chemical parameters that, in turn, generate thousands of potential genetic templates that didn’t previously exist.

Advocates of the technology say that, as a species, we need to test the limits of DNA to try and predict just how far life can evolve.

(What could possibly go wrong?)

This will help us defeat incurable diseases and viruses in the future here on Earth, as well as assisting in our search for extraterrestrial elsewhere in the solar system and wider universe. (Emphasis added)

Now, reading this, my first impression was a question: What on earth is NASA doing trying to figure out new models of DNA evolution and to predict them. My next thought was, "whew! this all sounds theoretical, no need to worry." But then I recalled that strange X-Files episode where a DNA sample is brought by Scully to a laboratory for analysis, and the mystified geneticist informs her that the sample can contained a fifth base pair, which (the geneticist said) by definition had to be extra-terrestrial.

As you can imagine, it's that last sentence that has my mind speculating all over the place. We're being asked to believe that this theoretical work in "predictive evolution" might lead to the ability to search for extra-terrestrial life "elsewhere in the solar system" and then "in the wider universe". In other words, perhaps NASA is experimenting with these theoretical evolutionary parameters in specific cases, i.e., what might life (and for that matter, intelligent life) look like under the surface on Mars, or some of the moons of Saturn or Jupiter? But could we also be looking at a kind of cover story for something that has already been discovered? Perhaps so.

But there's an even deeper, or perhaps "higher" high octane speculation buzzing around in my mind, and that is: what if we are looking at a carefully disguised program searching for extra-terrestrial life on this planet? In 2015 at the Secret Space Program conference in Bastrop, TX, I pointed out that if one read certain ancient texts a certain way, then one might conclude that one was looking at some "paleoancient" genetic engineering program, i.e., the creation of a hybrid race of "demigods" from the union of a terrestrial humanoid and "the gods." If one suspected that might have happened, how would one go about proving it? What if "they" were still around? The possibility, I implied, must have sent shock waves through the post-World War Two national security state, already dealing with a growing "UFO problem," for the implication of those ancient stories was that they not only looked like us, but that they could perhaps infiltrate the organs of government.  That possibility became the theme for the last 1960s science fiction television series, The Invaders. How would one find them? In Bastrop I stated that there would be only one way: genetics.  That search might reveal chimeras, or it might reveal unknown base pairs. But in any case, the possibility exists that we might just be looking at precisely the tip of the iceberg in such a program.

LANDSLIDE IN SIBERIA, RUSSIAN ARMY DISPATCHED

If you've been following this week's blogs, Russia has been front and center. It's not because I'm on some sort of "Russia kick" but simply because, as readers here know, the blogs on this site are in part "community driven," i.e., I blog about the most numerous stories I receive from readers here who notice and send along stories, and when themes emerge from that mass of emailings, I tend to concentrate on those themes. And this past week, Russia has certainly been "the theme." This story was noticed by Mr. T.M. (and several others), and it's a strange one, for sure, and as this story is coming from the U.K. tabloid The Daily Mail, take it with a grain of salt:

UFO alert as Putin drafts in army after Siberian mountain 'collapses

The story is straightforward enough: a natural fissure in a mountain caused a landslide, blocking a river, threatening a local hydro-electric power supply center, and threatening to cut off a major rail line between Siberia and Russia's far East coastline:

VLADIMIR Putin has drafted in soldiers to investigate a “collapsed mountain” in a remote region of Siberia amid suggestions it may have been caused by a UFO crash-landing.

Whatever the cause, the resulted in a massive rockfall which has blocked the nearby Bureya river, and left several villages at risk of flooding. So much rock was shifted it would fill 13,600 Olympic-sized swimming pools, say experts. Meanwhile, the falling 34 million cubic metres of debris left a gash in a mountain which could swallow up all the water used if every American showered at the same time.

...

Flooding could also disrupt the 2,700-mile long Baikal-Amur Mainline rail link, which is a vital link between the interior and Russia’s east coast, unless the army can unblock the river quickly.

To complicate matters still further, a hydro-electricity station is also threatened because water is drying up in Bureyskaya hydro power  reservoir located downstream.

A significant number of locals seem to think it was UFO-related, but A British geologist is laying the blame to much more mundane sources: fissures in the local topography:

However, a local poll in eastern Russian suggested the while 27 per cent agreed with his assessment, more – 33 per cent believed a – was the cause.

Professor Dave Petley,  Vice-President for Research and Innovation at the University of Sheffield and an expert in the science of landslides, dismissed both ideas, explaining the mountain slope above the Bureya had a “pre-existing tension crack or depression” at an altitude of around 1,900 ft.

He said: “We can say that this is certainly a rock slope failure, and that it is highly unlikely to be associated with a impact event.”

Ok, I'll buy that, but I'm still skeptical. This seems to be a week when Russia is concentrating on the Dark Overlord 9/11 hacks, when its version of the Hubble telescope has "gone down" and Roscosmos has "lost control" of it, so the timing here bothers me, and as one might imagine, I'm willing to crawl to the end of the twig of high octane speculation here, for it strikes me as just a little too convenient that this rock slide manages to threaten a power plant, a major rail artery, and several villages, all at once, particularly when some locals are saying "UFO." So what if all the proffered explanations are true? What if some "space event" or "impact" event on a natural feature deliberately triggered the slide? Against this idea the article points out that there were no meteor impacts reported in Siberia last December, which raises another question: why was the military sent in so late? But in any case, the military response itself is intriguing, suggesting that the Russian Ministry of Defense may suspect more is involved in the story than mere geological features. Indeed, this statement may be interpreted in that sense:

A defence ministry source said a group of specialists is en route “to conduct reconnaissance work” at the site, where the rocks fell some 1,280 ft on to the valley floor.

"Reconnaisance work" normally implies reconnoitering enemy positions or activity; "Exploration work" or "initial assessments" would be the phrase to use if one suspected merely something natural. It's that suggestive use of words - and the Russians are nothing if not very attentive to words - and the unusual effects of the location of this landslide, that make me wonder if some sort of sophisticated covert operations or warfare were being conducted against Russia...

...think of it as the Russian version of the California fires...

THOSE NEVADA AIR FORCE DRILLS: WHO’S THE TARGET?

In case you haven't noticed, we do "high strangeness" and "high octane speculation" here, but we tend to avoid the lunatic fringe, which is why we try to avoid contemporary politics as much as possible. And to clarify (or "muddify" as the case may be) for the new reader here, I'm one of those who thinks there's something mighty suspicious about those California fires that burn houses and businesses and leave the shrubbery and plastic children's playground equipment untouched. Smart meters, heavy metal particulates in the atmosphere, and directed and/or exotic energy weapons systems and a corrupt one-party state government... I entertain all of it as a possibility.

So when Mr. R.D. sent the following article from Zero Hedge, it went to the top of my "finals cut" folder for this week's blogs. It concerns that recent US Air Force "forcible entry" drill that occurred over Nevada:

Large-Scale USAF War Drill Over Nevada Simulated Forcible Entry Maneuver: War Preparations

Now, one might guess where I'm going with this from the title of today's blog, but in case you haven't guessed, here's a few relevant sections from the article:

"At this same time last year, social media was flooded with videos of lights filling up the night sky as strings of C-17s and C-130s crossed the U.S. on their way primarily to the Nellis Test and Training Range (NTTR) in desolate Southern Nevada. This unique large force employment exercise (LFE) is among the most complex drills the USAF executes and it combines assets of all types, including fighters, surveillance aircraft, electronic warfare platforms, and throngs of ground troops and equipment that are dropped into or dropped off in simulated enemy territory," said The Drive.

Here is what JFEX looked like a few years ago during a daytime exercise:

"The C-17s are working out of Keno Airstrip in the NTTR. As you can see, it is one impressive display of airpower. Also, keep in mind that there are so many other moving parts you don't see in the video."

The Drive also points out that the Nellis Test and Training Range was very active during the JFEX. There were surveillance aircraft, from RQ-4 Global Hawks to RC-135 Rivet Joints, orbiting around the range complex around 11:22 pm.

"JFEX has become far more relevant in recent years as the U.S. has started to come to terms with the reality that winning an expeditionary fight against a peer state competitor is an increasingly dubious challenge. Anti-access and area-denial strategies have left the services scrambling to adapt to having to fight an enemy over long distances and breaking open new avenues into their increasingly expansive and fortified domain. Being able to use the Pentagon's potent but limited airlift capacity to rapidly open up new bases of operation and vectors of attack even at very austere and remote locales in becoming a key tenet of future combat operations. This is exactly what JFEX is all about, punching into contested territory over long distances by surprise and setting up a foothold for expanded operations," said The Drive.

So let's be clear here, before we get to today's high octane speculation: these drills are nothing new, and they're practice for airlifting a sizeable amount of troops and logistical support to pretty much anywhere that America decides to lift them: the Ukraine, the Middle East, Africa, anywhere that, as the last paragraph quoted states, they need to "break open new avenues into their increasingly expansive and fortified domains." That's the logical, most apparent, and probable explanation.

With that in hand and on the record, now let's indulge in a bit of high octane speculation. Indeed, Mr. R.D. suggested this speculation himself when he sent the article, and when I read this from the article, I had to concur that something very different might be afoot:

About 38 minutes later, CivMilAir reported 17 C-130s over Texas headed for a region near the Area 51 Airbase in Lincoln County, Nevada.

According to one Twitter user, there could have been as many as 38 warplanes participating in the JFEX.

Another Twitter user showed the C-130s flying over Canyon de Chelly National Monument, a vast park in northeastern Arizona, around 11:13 pm.

The fact that this exercise was being carried out near the environs of the celebrated "Area 51", where allegedly the US carries out some of its most sensitive and secret "black projects research" made me think of this story from 2013, uncovered and reported by well-known UFO researchers Linda Moulton Howe and Richard Dolan:

CIA OPERATIVE: EISENHOWER THREATENS TO INVADE AREA 51

The fact that Mr. Dolan was involved in reporting this story that President Eisenhower was threatening to invade Area 51 is significant, in my opinion, precisely because it was also Mr. Dolan who, in his well-known UFO and National Security State volumes, offered what has since become a mainstay in the thinking of several alternative field researchers, including me, namely, that with enough time, money, and human talent investigating black projects, over time this might lead to a "breakaway civilization," a group of people in control and possession of technologies far in advance of those publicly visible. To call this a "breakaway" group indicates that this group would, by dint of that fact and possession, become quasi- or completely- independent from the host country it allegedly serves. It would, in effect, be a kind of extra-territorial state. I've expanded on this idea to include the necessity for a completely hidden system of finance (deeper and separate from the black budget), networked with the public system in a variety of arcane and bizarre ways (think the bearer bonds scandals). If Ms. Howe's and Mr. Dolan's uncovering of this story about a threatened Eisenhower invasion of the site be true, then the process of "breaking away" began very early indeed. And it should be noted that the presence of Mr. Nixon in the Eisenhower Administration, connected as he was to various covert operations including the planning for the Bay of Pigs, gives an added nuance to this story, for in some of the Cooper-Cantwheel documents, it is Mr. Nixon who, when president, allegedly turned the whole UFO operation completely over to the defense contractors (see my book The SS Brotherhood of the Bell). In effect, if those documents are true, or reporting on something true, then Mr. Nixon effectively sealed and acknowledged the independence of that group and its hidden infrastructures of power, like Area 51.

So back to the exercises over Nevada. Given this context, I have to entertain the possibility that perhaps the exercise was about "breaking into the ever-expanding fortified domains" of a very different set of players, not China or Russia or the Middle East, but our very own home-grown "breakaway civilization." In entertaining this high octane speculation, I've also entertained the idea, which I've blog about briefly on a prior occasion, that this "Space Force President," by approving a "space command," might in effect be trying to reverse that privatization trend implicated by Eisenhower's alleged threat and Nixon's alleged decision, and return not only the technological aspects to a direct military chain of command reporting ultimately to the executive, but also to eliminate the opportunities for financial shenanigans associated with it as well (think bailouts, human trafficking networks, drug running, mortgage fraud, and so on). And if the California fires are factored in, with all the associated strangeness surrounding them, including indicators of extraordinary anomalies and the possible use of exotic technologies, then that group has, in effect, declared war against the citizenry of this country, and such a response would indeed be appropriate and necessary to regain government control of a rogue and runaway group.

THE SEMI-LATEST FROM RUSSIA ON TUNGUSKA, FROM 2004

If you're one of those fascinated by the Tunguska event like I am, then this story will definitely arch your eyebrows. And even if you're not, it still might do that. For those who don't know the story, on June 30, 1908, in the remote region of Siberia near the Tunguska river, something exploded. Nor was this an ordinary explosion, for it seemingly exploded with the force of a large - a very large - thermonuclear bomb, flattening trees for miles around, and according to some reports, creating light effects and rattling windows thousands of miles away. Some witnesses described seeing a fireball streaking across Siberia prior to the explosion. No determination was made on what had happened, though expeditions were urged. World War One, and then the Russian Revolution and Civil War intervened.  When eventually the Soviet Union managed to mount an expedition to the region to find out what happened, no impact crater was found, but the devastation was still apparent.

The theories for what happened have run the whole spectrum, from bolides (exploding meteors) to more exotic explanations: a matter-antimatter reaction of "something", a black hole that impacted with the Earth's atmosphere, and some even entertain that this event was the result of Nicola Tesla demonstrating the weaponization potential of his "wireless broadcast of electrical power" idea. And, of course, some have argued that it was an extraterrestrial spaceship that malfunctioned for some reason, and blew up.

It's the latter theory that interests us today, because Ms. K.M. found  this story - at phys.org no less! - about the latest Russian expedition to the site, and its findings and conclusions (Note, this story is from 2004, but I find it intriguing nonetheless for reasons we'll get to in a moment):

https://phys.org/news/2004-08-tunguska-event-sensational-theory.html

What's new here is not only the theory, but the approach taken to make a new discovery:

Up till now, scientists believed that Tunguska event was caused by the airburst of an asteroid about 5 miles above the surface of the Earth. The asteroid is believed to have been roughly 60 meters across.

Now, researchers had traced the possible trajectory of the space object, assuming that the object had flown from West to East, unlike the previous missions who considered East to West direction. The new approach allowed the expedition members to find a buried object covered with trees.

The object appeared to be a large block made with metal. The researchers chipped a piece of the object and will now test its composition. Preliminary analyses show that it is a compound of iron silicate with unknown material.

This has led to a new theory:

The new theory suggests that the event was a collision of a meteorite with an alien spaceship. “They exploded this enormous meteorite that headed towards us with enormous speed,” Yuri Lavbin said. Now this great object that caused the meteorite to explode is found at last. We will continue our research, he said. (Emphasis added)
We'll get back to that curiously worded statement in a moment. For now, it's worth noting that there's no other articles at phys.org (at least, that I could find) about this expedition nor its astonishing claims. Rather, one finds subsequent stories that the Russians have now found the impact crater, and a few rocks they claim to have come from whatever it was that exploded, rocks indicating that it was something entirely natural (nothing to see here, move along):
https://phys.org/news/2013-05-russian-tunguska-explosion.html
https://phys.org/news/2013-06-reexamination-samples-meteoritic-tunguska-cosmic.html
https://phys.org/news/2012-05-team-evidence-lake-cheko-impact.html
https://phys.org/news/2009-06-space-shuttle-science-tunguska-explosion.html
... and so on. There is, as far as I can tell, no further follow-up to the 2004 story, unless of course (here comes high octane speculation #1) the subsequent articles are the follow-up, designed to detract from the 2004 story and return the theories of the event to "normalcy." There's no more mention of the metallic object nor its allegedly strange composition. It's now back to rocks.
For the sake of argument and our high octane speculation today, however, let's assume the 2004 story is true, that a metallic object was found that led the expedition members to conclude that a collision of some sort took place in the atmosphere above Tunguska between a meteor or asteroid and some sort of artificial object. If so, the subsequent articles may have been deliberate spin of something that, for whatever reason, leaked, and involved Russian national security. But it's that last statement that really caught my attention: "They exploded this enormous meteorite that headed towards us with enormous speed." They? They who?  Given the state of technology in 1908, it's difficult to believe "they" would have been earth-bound humans, so the statement implies that someone else intervened to prevent a catastrophe, perhaps by firing a kinetic impact - a "rod of God" - weapon at it. The strangeness of the theory amps up when one considers the statements made by Prime Minister Dmitri Medvedev before the similar bolide incident of the Chelyabinsk meteor which exploded over that city on February 13 2013. Medvedev, you'll recall, appeared on Russian television, calling for an international system of planetary defense against dangerous asteroids (shades of the Rosian affidavit), and if Russia could not obtain such cooperation, it should build out a defense system on its own utilizing themonuclear missiles and "other" means of defense which he did not specify.
The bottom line, however, is that the 2004 article is maintaining that someone intervened, and that means, someone is watching this planet. Beyond this, it implies in a round about way that someone may be hurtling rocks at this planet, and someone else may be intervening. Think Oumuamua, which came bounding into the solar system recently, and which still has scientists baffled. Think too of that strange bright spot of infrared that was detected on it, almost as if someone had diverted its trajectory with a weapon, perhaps nuclear. Beyond this, the strange Tunguska story about the metal object simply disappeared amid subsequent articles about meteoric rocks and impact craters, and was never heard from again.

TRIANGULAR UFO IN AUSTRALIA DURING LIGHTNING STORM

I don't often report on UFO sightings, but this one shared by Mr. J.D. of a sighting in Australia grabbed my attention, both for its sensational nature, as well as for the opportunity for some of our daily dose of high octane speculation. According to this story, a triangular UFO was spotted in Australia and actually filmed during a major lightning storm:

UFO struck by lightning in bizarre video prompts theory it was 'charging its batteries'

The article itself advances the theory that the object is not only a vehicle of some sort, but a human vehicle reverse engineered from "alien technology" and part of the USA's secret arsenal of fiield propulsion craft. Well, I don't know about that, but it sure does go a long way to explaining where some of the missing $21,000,000,000,000.00 might have gone. But nevermind my own speculations here; the article states that the original UFO Today version has it's own theory:

"It seems these mysterious objects are feeding on the 200000 ampere lightning strikes to load their intergalactic batteries."

It's this kind of wildness that so frustrates me about Ufology, or in this case, perhaps Ufoology. To describe the object as capable of "intergalactic" travel without any adequate data for that conclusion is going way beyond the evidence. We don't even know (1) if it is an object, and (2) if it is, whether or not it's even capable of interplanetary travel within our own solar system, let alone our own galaxy, much less between galaxies. All we have is a video of a triangular "something" in the midst of a lot of lightning arcs. That said, I don't know about you, but it certainly looks like an object to me, and not just an unusual cloud formation, a trick of light(ning) and shadow, or swamp gas, or any of the other frivolous explanations that have come from the UFO skeptic crowd either.

But the article does get one thing right: UFO sightings do seem to cluster around electrical activity, recall only the famous 1965 blackout in parts of New England and Ontario. During that event there were several UFO sightings, many of them near bodies of water or power lines and substations. Not all UFO sightings, to be sure, exhibit this pattern, but at least enough of them do to suggest some sort of pattern is in evidence. In addition, any one familiar with UFO literature will be aware that in many encounters with UFOs, electrical equipment often tends to malfunction, or cease functioning completely.

All of this brings me to my high octane speculation for the day: what if the basic theory advanced in the article were reversed? What if, instead of "charging its intergalactic batteries" the object is in fact creating, or at least, amplifying local atmospheric electrical dipoles? Such a theory would seem to square better with other patterns of electrical activity reported with UFOs, as mentioned above. There is of course a major problem with that theory as well, and that is simply that triangular UFOs have been seen by many witnesses, from the famous "Phoenix lights" episode to the more dramatic sightings of such objects in Belgium, and so on. In those instances, the dramatic electrical activity of a lightning storm was not present. But this does not mean one should throw out the hypothesis entirely, for local atmospheric conditions in those instances may have been very different. The upshot is that in such sightings as this extraordinary one in Australia, perhaps we must expand our data collection, and start making careful notes about such conditions. This might yield some fruitful information and provide new insights into the phenomenon, and the potential technology behind it.

THE AIR FORCE AND ANTIMATTER

I am constantly amazed at the quality of information the "Gizars" send me, and today's example sent along by Mr. G.B., who deserves a major thank you and "doff of the hat" for this find, is a case in point. This one is nothing less than a whopper-doozie, particularly for all of us who have been following and hypothesizing about "secret space programs" and Mr. Richard Dolan's hypothesis of a breakaway civilization, for today's blog is not about an article, but about a pdf file of what apparently is a powerpoint presentation on the use of antimatter as a source of energy and propulsion.

Yes, you read that correctly: the use of antimatter as a source of energy and propulsion. Much more importantly, the pdf is dated March of 2004, and I want to spend some time pointing out certain pages within it, though it should be stated, that every page is worth consideration and commentary, but unfortunately, time and space do not permit it. Here is Mr. G.B.'s highly important discovery:

Propulsion and Power with Positrons

So let's dive in:

Note on the very first page that the presentation is sponsored by the "Munitions Directorate" and the "Air Force Research Laboratory." This will assume major significance in a moment.

Then on page 10, after outlining the basic principles of using positron production for energy, there is a schematic that should give T.Townsend Brown fans some pause, for page 10 consists of a schematic showing a standard jet turbine with a twist, and the twist is Townsend Brown's idea of using a jet turbine to turn an electrical generator, and charge the exhaust to create a charge differential between a leading positively charged region in front of an aircraft, and a negatively charged region in back of it. The charge difference between these two regions, in turn, creates added thrust of an electromagnetic nature. The twist here is the use of positrons to create the actual heat of the exhaust. And then note also what it states at the bottom of the page: "Exo-atmospheric  Capability Achieved by including Onboard working fluid tanks."

Exo-atmospheric capability: let that one sink in.

But wait, it gets much better: on page 13, the report "flashes back" to a 1955 project, called Project Rover, to create a nuclear-reactor propulsion system, complete with a picture of a nuclear rocket... from 1955, which, it notes, was successfully tested in 1964. Now, skip forward to page 43, and note the advantage of antimatter as a reaction system for an energy and propulsion system: "No nuclear residue." This is worth spending some time with, because as most people are aware, standard fission reactions leave "residue", a nice euphemistic way of saying "radioactivity" which, when it comes to fission bombs (atom bombs), is "fallout". Fusion reactions, similarly, spit out lots of gamma rays and fast particles, which again is a deadly "residue." But matter-antimatter reactions are total annihilation reactions: there is no "nuclear residue" left over. Why is this significant? I suspect that there is more going on with this interest in antimatter than merely for energy or propulsion, for recall that on page 1 this is being sponsored by the "Munitions Directorate," and a matter-antimatter bomb, if sufficient antimatter could be collected and successfully contained, could be much more powerful than the largest hydrogen bomb, and leave no nasty "nuclear residue"... easier said than done, to be sure, but if you and I can think of it, rest assured, they have too. In short, a breakthrough both in the creation and containment of antimatter would open doors to energy sources, propulsion sources, and an entirely new class of weapons of mass destruction (which could be made to order, from very small yields to very large yields), all in one fell swoop. The result for propulsion purposes, as page 43 also notes, is the capability for "extended missions" not of mere hours, but an entire month (and presumably, much longer), for any craft employing such "exo-atmospheric" technologies. The applications to space are self-evident.

This is followed, on page 44, with the usual "brainstorming" slide, which, includes a picture of a "stealthy lifting fan airframe." For those familiar with the human side of the UFO story, this will sound very familiar, for the earliest German, and later post-war Canadian and American efforts to create vectored jet exhaust vertical lifting airframes are well-known. Interestingly enough, the Air Force, according to this file, is still talking about the idea in 2004, but this time in conjunction with antimatter combined with Townsend Brown's "charged jet exhaust" idea.

This is followed by page 45, where the proposed technology of the lifting airframe is touted as being able to give 24/7, thirty-day long "battle space coverage", which, let it be observed, is depicted as being over Iraq. One has to wonder if, indeed, the technology is "proposed", or actual.  And if there were any doubts that all of this has potential for deep space, page 48 dispels it by noting its applicability to "Human Development and Exploration of Space."

Lastly, on page 50, lest all of this be thought to be "purely theoretical," the penultimate page/slide in the presentation makes the statement "proof of principle experiments are being conducted."

Let that one, too, sink in: proof of concept experiments in antimatter propulsion and energy... and, ultimate, bombs.

While this is not "proof" of a secret space program, it is a glimpse through a very tightly sealed door. And if the Air Force is willing to talk openly about this, one wonders what lurks behind the walls of classification.

BIG BANK STUDIES PREDICT SPACE INDUSTRY IN THE TRILLIONS, BUT…

Mr. B. spotted this intriguing article, and given yesterday's blog about mind control, its apparent growing use globally, and the "missing trillions", I had to blog about this one. The upshot is that some major bank studies by Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Bank of America Merrill Lynch have concluded that by 2040, the space industry will approach between one and almost three trillion dollars of market value; here's the article:

A trillion-dollar space industry will require new markets

Now, if you read through all that, you might be thinking, "Well, so what? This is more or less old news and we already knew space industry was going to be a 'big thing'. No news here."

I have to admit, that was pretty much my own reaction when I read it. So I went back and read it again, and that's when the big "but..." hit me. It was not what the article was saying, but rather, what it was either not saying, or merely alluding to. Here's the passages that leapt out at me, and which occasion our high octane speculationTM of the day:

Autry, though, cautioned not to be too specific about what markets might emerge to drive the growth of the overall space economy, recounting his experience in the early computer industry, where games played a much larger role than many initially expected.

“I think we haven’t seen yet what that app is on the NewSpace side,” he said. “I’m confident that it’s there, but I think the most important thing we need to do is not try too much to define the roadmap. There’s going to be some really unexpected detours, and it’ll be interesting to see what they are.”

So what is not being said, and what is only being alluded to? For the former, it's the markets themselves. Regular readers here have probably seen and read all those articles about the estimated worth of this or that asteroid's resources, with figures usually being placed in the quadrillions of dollars. The only problem is one has to go out and get them. But in those articles, the point is usually made that such a sudden influx of money and resources could adversely impact the world's economy; think of Spain after the discovery of the New World, with galleons bringing back boatloads of gold. The result of the influx of so much bullion drove up the prices of everything in Spain, and as a result, manufacturing fled to places with lower costs of doing business, like the Spanish Netherlands, whose economy "took off" as a direct result of the crash of Spanish manufacturing. Spain ended up losing its manufacturing base and suffering the consequences until the twentieth century.

But that, of course, was only true because there was no expansion of markets... which raises the question, why then go out and mine all those asteroids? Are all those quadrillions being collateralized to offsets all the quadrillions of derivatives on the books? I've suggested as much in other blogs. I've also suggested, along with Catherine Austin Fitts, that all that missing money might literally be going off planet, into some sort of very hidden market and trade with, or perhaps even tribute to... well, with "whomever."

In other words, the article's reference to not being "too specific about what markets might emerge" might be taken as an indicator that those "emerging markets" are not on this planet at all.

And that brings us to high octane speculation number two. The final statement of the article - "There's going to be some really unexpected detours, and it will be interesting to see what they are."(Emphasis added)  Indeed, one such "really unexpected detours" might indeed be an interplanetary "market" and "trade" with "whomever."

To put it country simple: I suspect a whole lot of discussion took place "off the record" at this conference, and that the real concerns are precisely how to deal with precisely such circumstances, and how to break "the news." Commerce, or tribute, might indeed be the agenda that drives "disclosure."

JAPAN’S HAYABUSA 2 TAKES PICTURE OF ANOTHER STRANGE ASTEROID

About a week and a half ago, Mr. Richard Hoagland contacted me to come on his program to talk about that strange comet/asteroid Oumuamua, the cigar-shaped object that entered the solar system and whose behavior is just, well, bizarre, so bizarre that scientists don't really know how to explain it. It was a last-minute thing, as one of Mr. Hoagland's scheduled guests was apparently unable to make a scheduled appearance. Not having anything on the plate, I agreed, only we discovered that there were so many audio problems that night that Mr. Hoagland had to cancel the show. But one of the topics he also wanted to discuss was Japan's Hayabusa-2 asteroid space probe mission, and the very strange photograph it took of a little asteroid the Japanese Space Agency, JAXA, named Ryugu.

I hadn't seen what Mr. Hoagland was referring to, when in my inbox appeared this article from Mr. P.J., and Ms. K.M. sent along a picture of the strange object, and after reading it and seeing the picture of Ryugu, I am entertaining lots of high octane speculations. But we'll get back to those. Here's the article Mr. P.J. sent:

Dragon Dice: JAXA Captures Photographs of a “Die-Shaped” Asteroid in Space

That simply couldn't be, I thought to myself, so I went sniffing and searching, and found this bit of corroboration:

A Japanese Probe Is Closing in on an Asteroid 180 Million Miles from Earth

Japan's Hayabusa2 Asteroid Probe Snaps Best Pics Yet of Its Target Ryugu

And if one looks at this this, not only does it look like a kind of die from a dice set, or diamond composed of two pyramids stacked one over the other, there's all sorts of strange "stuff" on the surface.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I don't know about you, but I'll go ahead and say it: this looks to me like an artificial object of some sort, battered over it's long sojourn in space, but nevertheless, artificial. Not only it the object itself rectilinear, but there are some very clear rectilinear features on its surface that are in and of themselves very odd.

But that's not my problem here. My problem is the Japanese Space Agency itself, for as the articles make clear, the agency plans to land its Hayabusa-2 probe on the surface of this asteroid (which, incidentally, is spinning), but to take sample, and then return them to Earth. As you might have guessed, this is the occasion for my daily jump to the end of the twig of our trademark High Octane SpeculationTM. First, there's the name of the asteroid itself. Citing the first article shared by Mr. P.J.:

Ryugu’s shape isn’t the only association it has with myth and lore surrounding dragons; according to Spaceflight Now, its name is also evocative of these mythical creatures, borrowed from “an undersea dragon’s palace visited by Urashima Taro, a fisherman in a Japanese folk story who brings back a mysterious treasure box from the underwater castle.”

Hayabusa2 was launched in 2014, and in the days since photographs were obtained of Ryugu’s unusual shape, the spacecraft has closed its distance to approximately 20 km, with the objective of landing and extracting material for analysis, which it will retrieve and bring to Earth by the end of 2020.

So the asteroid is named for a piece of Japanese folklore about a fisherman bringing back a treasure box from a dragon's underwater castle. Now, I've written in some of my books, most notably The Cosmic War: Interplanetary Warfare, Modern Physics, and Ancient Texts, that the idea of the ocean or abyss was often used as a metaphor for space itself; thus, a "castle under water" could be taken to mean a "castle under the abyss", i.e., in space. But whatever my speculations, the Japanese Space Agency clearly had both the folklore, and the castle, clearly in mind when it named this object, which, for its apparently artificial "look", could be taken to be an artificial object like a castle, with the "treasure box" being whatever the probe might manage to scoop up and return to Earth. The asteroid itself is a little less than a mile across, being almost a kilometer in width.

But I have to wonder, what are the odds that JAXA just happened to pick this asteroid to land on, named it after a bit of Japanese dragon folk lore, take samples from it, and return them to Earth, and that the asteroid should turn out to have such a bizarre and suggestive shape? Why this asteroid? It may be purely coincidental, of course. But there's been a pattern of space probes to asteroids in recent years that has been - if you've been following them - downright bizarre. NASA's probe to the asteroid Bennu produced a similarly shaped asteroid, and then of course, there was the European Space Agency's mission to asteroid Steins, which turned out to look like this:

Rosetta Flies By "Something" Very Strange

I don't know about you, but while one might be a coincidence and two a synchronicity, it seems to me that three comes close to the beginnings of a pattern, and that pattern strongly suggests that NASA, JAXA, and and the ESA knew something about these celestial bodies prior to launching their probes to them, and that they were deliberately selected prior to launch. Their unusual shape, particularly in the case of Ryugu and Steins, also suggests that they are looking for "something." Indeed, the Hayabusa-2 mission not only wants to look, but to bring some of it back. So why all the fuss and bother to bring something back from that asteroid? I suspect that if the Japanese suspected that this object might be artificial - and indeed, the language of the Japanese scientists involved with the project speaks of "structure" and its thus highly suggestive that that is indeed what they think it is - the proof of the pudding, so to speak, would be in the analysis of whatever sample they bring back, for those samples might indicate chemical composition typical of alloys and other machined objects.

Time, of course, will tell, but only if the Japanese choose to tell...

SPACE, AI, AND BATTERIES: CRYPTO-CURRENCIES JUST BECAME MORE ...

This story was spotted by a number of people and it's one of those "this must be talked about" stories. The trouble is, I don't know exactly what to say about it, and apparently others don't either.  But as usual I have a lot of high octane suspicions.

The story is basic enough: a corporation, about which not much is known other than it specializes in blockchain technology, recently bought a rather large package of land outside Reno-Tahoe, Nevada: https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-01-30/unkown-group-pays-175-million-74000-acres-nevada-mysterious-ethereum-project

One story that has emerged with the rival of crypto-currencies is the massive amount of electricity it requires to "mine" them and execute transactions. Hence, many "Miners" are moving to Winnepeg, Mannitoba:

Earlier this month, we reported that a Russian businessman had purchased two vacant power stations in the Perm region with the intention of setting up a large crypto mining operation - the latest sign that miners are moving to fill the void left by China's crackdown on cryptocurrency miners, who had previously enjoyed heavily subsidized power.

As for North America, we've already noted that miners are clustering in Winnipeg City, Manitoba, the town with the cheapest electricity on the whole continent.

High Octane Speculation Number One

But a bigger clue as to what may be afoot is suggested by this revelation:

The park has managed to attract dozens of tech firms, including several notable names. Back in 2014, it made headlines when Tesla selected the park as the site for its Gigafactory. Google and Switch also have campuses there.

Tesla's gigafactory is designed to produce powerful lithium-ion batteries, which have had some problems making them for its new vehicle models:

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/25/tesla-employees-say-gigafactory-problems-worse-than-known.html

Such batteries would, of course, be a handy thing to have around for space requirements, and Tesla founder Elon Musk is well-known for his corporate space ventures. But such batteries could also, perhaps, be used or integrated in massive corporate crypto-currency transactions (call that high octane guess a "wild guess"). That suggests in its turn that perhaps the next stage of crypto-currency development is to move clearing operations off world (a handy idea for conducting financial clearing operations to and from deep space, as is the blockchain itself ).

In short, and to put it "country simple", I suspect, as high octane speculation number one, that these corporate moves are both (1) coordinated and (2) space-related.

High Octane Speculation Number Two:

Given the presence of Google, and given its relationship to the intelligence community and its interest in quantum computing, quantum encryption, and artificial intelligence, that these things are also part of the picture. Quantum encryption methods have already been amply demonstrated by China in ground-to-space and space-to-ground transmissions. And as I have written on this site previously, such steps appear to me to be part and parcel of China's and other nations' efforts to create an alternative space-based financial clearing system by-passing the West's SWIFT-based system. Such steps can also be viewed as a component of a possible wider and unified global agenda of building redundancy into the international clearing system, as Catherine Austin Fitts has suggested. In other words, they are creating not an alternative, but a back-up. If this is the case, then yet another question occurs, for building redundancy into systems is an insurance policy against disaster. The question is, who, or what, are "they" afraid of? Asteroids? or the classic sci-fi Hollywood B movie Invaders from Outer Space scenario?

High Octane Speculation Number Three:

Lately there have also been stories suggesting that large Nevada casinos have been using the "down time" on their computerized slot machine networks to mine crypto-currencies, and a number of stories have also circulated that certain types of nefarious groups, including "neo-Fascist" types of group, have been using crypto-currency speculation to fund their "operations." Additionally, there have been all sorts of financial wheelings and dealings connected to last year's tragic Las Vegas shooting, which was quickly followed up by the arrest of Saudi billionaire prince Al-Waleed bin Talal, who had major stakes both in the Mandalay Bay Hotel and in communications technologies. (AL Waleed, incidentally, has recently been released by the Saudi government, after the "shakedown" operation was concluded. Some have suggested that his release is only the beginning of his problems, with further troubles looming courtesy of the US government.) In any case, it looks as if this land purchase is directly related to corporatizing and vastly expanding the crypto-currency phenomenon (already futures are being traded).

Finally, there are of course other possibilities, including the possibility that all three of these scenarios are in play, and that they are somehow all intertwined.

This may be, and I strongly suspect is, a development to watch carefully.

RUSSIA, ADVANCED PROPULSION, AND ET MARKETING

There's been a lot of hype on the internet lately concerning the limited hangout position of the Pentagon's recent announcement of having conducted a UFO project at the request of former US Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada, and concerning the announcement of former Blink 182 band member and UFO enthusiast Tom DeLonge's corporation whose board looks like a Who's Who of black projects research gurus. This comes at a time that Dr. Skidmore of Michigan State University has written articles confirming missing trillions of dollars from the US budget, confirming the statements of former US Housing and Urban Development Assistant Secretary Catherine Austin Fitts. It's convenient timing, to say the least.

Now, to add to the stories, there's yet another, according to this article shared by Mr. J.S.:

The Pentagon’s Secret Search for UFOs

Now, I am calling all this a "limited hangout position" because of several statements, including this one:

The Pentagon, at the direction of Congress, a decade ago quietly set up a multimillion-dollar program to investigate what are popularly known as unidentified flying objects—UFOs.

The “unidentified aerial phenomena” claimed to have been seen by pilots and other military personnel appeared vastly more advanced than those in American or foreign arsenals. In some cases they maneuvered so unusually and so fast that they seemed to defy the laws of physics, according to multiple sources directly involved in or briefed on the effort and a review of unclassified Defense Department and congressional documents.(emphasis added)

Now, many in the UFOlogy community, including researcher Richard Dolan (see his multi-volume study UFOs and the National Security State) and many others, have argued persuasively and in my opinion quite convincingly and compellingly that these USO studies have in fact been a more or less permanent feature of covert American military interest and research since at least the end of World War Two. I too have contributed my own speculations to this picture with investigations of the funding mechanisms that would be needed for such a study, concluding that a hidden system of finance would be necessary both to insure a continual flow of money and to ensure continued secrecy. The purpose of the research in the long term was to acquire the technologies that would be able to emulate UFO performance and achieve parity or near parity with it. As a secondary objective, such research would have been seeking the origins - human or otherwise - of whomever was behind the UFO phenomenon.

Hence, the disclose of a project of a mere decade's length and running into mere "multi-millions" is far short of what the UFOlogy community has been arguing for many decades. It is, if I may put it country simple, no big deal.

There's yet another "twist" here that, again, upon examination, isn't much of a twist:

The Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program, whose existence was not classified but operated with the knowledge of an extremely limited number of officials, was the brainchild of then-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), who first secured the appropriation to begin the program in 2009 with the support of the late Senators Daniel Inouye (D-Hawaii) and Ted Stevens (R-Alaska), two World War II veterans who were similarly concerned about the potential national security implications, the sources involved in the effort said. The origins of the program, the existence of which the Pentagon confirmed on Friday, are being revealed publicly for the first time by POLITICO and the New York Times in nearly simultaneous reports on Saturday.

One possible theory behind the unexplained incidents, according to a former congressional staffer who described the motivations behind the program, was that a foreign power—perhaps the Chinese or the Russians—had developed next-generation technologies that could threaten the United States. (Emphases added)

Again, experienced researchers in UFOlogy have long known about the UFO programs of Russia and China, and it stands to reason those nations would view the UFO phenomenon in a similar way to the USA, i.e., as a national security threat. And it stands to reason their responses would be similar: develop deeply black research programs and financing mechanisms to investigate and emulate the technologies and performance of UFOs to parity or near parity.

What is odd here however, is the less than typical language used in the context of the Russian and Chinese assertions. In an age when Russia seems to have replaced the former conspiracy-central theories of Masons, Zionists, Bankers, and/or Jesuits and the Vatican in the conspiracy mongering of the the US deep state, one would have expected stronger language from a mouthpiece like Politico. Instead, we get the very suggestive sentence, "One possible theory behind the unexplained incidents... was that a foreign power - perhaps the Chinese or the Russians-had developed next-generation technologies that could threaten the United States."(Emphases added) Why the subjunctive "perhaps" with the wonderfully ambiguous past perfect simple tense "had developed"? The statement leaves open the possibility of some other foreign power besides Russia and China actually achieving some sort of "next generation" technology, and having done so ina past whose terminus ante quem is left conveniently undefined...

...and as anyone might expect who has read my various books on that possibility, that statement caught my eye.

The "door", in other words, is being left open for further "disclosure" and "development" of the narrative.

And there, precisely, my misgivings lie, for how might one control the narrative in the increasingly sophisticated information age and an increasingly cynical and skeptical public? After all, this is the same swamp that gave us "social security" and "the magic bullet" and who fed us the line that Waco was "to protect the children" and that quarter-mile high steel and concrete cantilevered buildings were brought down by airplane fuel, weakened steel, and pancaking floors. How would one go about controlling the UFO narrative? Well the tried and true techniques of data obfuscation and guilt-by-association would have to be done, only this time around, by very clever marketing operations. For the Kentucky-fried gullible that inhabit the subject, more whistleblowers telling absurd stories about blue chicken McNuggets will do.

But the more sophisticated will have to be handled differently, with fiction containing just enough concepts borrowed from researchers (without attribution, of course), doling out real nuggets of genuine information, building up trust over time, and in the process, subtly spinning the aforementioned researchers' concepts, and establishing that marketing group as the gatekeepers not only of "real" information, but of the narrative interpretation to be fastened upon it.

Caveat emptor.

US DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE ANNOUNCES FULL AUDIT

You'll recall that yesterday I blogged about a story in which the U.S. Department of Defense was unable to account for about 44,000 people, or the operational equivalent to about 2-3 divisions, or a corps. And you'll recall that the reasons for the "lost personnel" were astonishingly similar to the reasons we've all heard over the years for all the "missing money," which (so the story goes) boil down to essentially two things: (1) there is no unified or single system of record keeping and hence (2) money(or people) fall through the cracks. To a certain extent, this is understandable and even justifiable: one doesn't want one's potential enemies to know exactly how big (or small) one's military is, nor the financial and/or production resources backing it up. Factories producing tanks above ground can be counted and their production estimated. Installations below ground are harder to detect and their purpose and production can largely only be guessed at.

To put all this "country simple": the very admissions we've seen about missing money and  "unaccounted for personnel" suggest quite strongly the appearance of a "breakaway civilization", a hypothesis advanced by well-known UFO/national security researcher Richard Dolan, who first advanced this idea in his multi-volume UFOs and the National Security State.  His basic thesis is germane to my high octane speculation today, for he advanced the idea that, over time, with enough money and secret research, by "unaccounted for" personnel using hidden financing, this group in effect would pull away from the overt civilization of the "surface world" by having access to technologies and capabilities far in advance of it.

Which brings us to this story on the U.S. Department of Defense's website shared by Mr. G.L.R.:

Officials Announce First DoD-Wide Audit, Call for Budget Certainty

Again, one can view this call for budget certainty as a national security issue as well. Certainly while on the one had one doesn't wish to telegraph to potential enemies the actual strength and disposition of one's military nor the financial and production resources at its disposal, on the other hand being totally confused about it doesn't help either, for it renders accurate operational planning difficult if not impossible. Something like this concern appears to lurk behind the article's initial comments:

The audit is massive. It will examine every aspect of the department from personnel to real property to weapons to supplies to bases. Some 2,400 auditors will fan out across the department to conduct it, Pentagon officials said.

"It is important that the Congress and the American people have confidence in DoD's management of every taxpayer dollar," Norquist said.

Audits are necessary to ensure the accuracy of financial information. They also account for property. Officials estimate the department has around $2.4 trillion in assets. "With consistent feedback from auditors, we can focus on improving the processes of our day-to-day work," the comptroller said. "Annual audits also ensure visibility over the quantity and quality of the equipment and supplies our troops use."

The DoD Office of the Inspector General hired independent public accounting firms to conduct audits of individual components – the Army, Navy, Air Force, agencies, activities and more – as well as a departmentwide consolidated audit to summarize all results and conclusions.

"Beginning in 2018, our audits will occur annually, with reports issued Nov. 15," Norquist said.

But there's a problem here, and with the problem, comes today's "high octane speculation." Note the hiring of "public accounting firms to conduct audits" of the individual services and various related agencies. This, it will be recalled, was precisely the problem encountered by Congresswoman McKinney years ago: there was no clear picture of which corporations were running the department's databases in the first place. Nor, we can imagine, will these firms be given complete access to black budget matters, and beyond that, they certainly will not even consider the likelihood of what I have been calling "the hidden system of finance."

So why the hullabaloo to get a "complete audit"? One obvious reasons is that it is "swamp politics as usual," namely, pretend to be doing something in order to shut the people and Congress up about the utter farce of the federal budgetary process, and how far afield it is from Constitutional budgetary procedure.

But there's another possibility, and with it, comes my "high octane speculation." One might hire such firms to get a general picture of where money was being siphoned out of the defense budget and, quite literally, disappearing into a black hole if one suspected that there was a real problem, that that "breakaway group" had metastasized to enormous proportions, and was literally feeding off the host. One might do it, in other words, if one had come to the conclusion that it was now so completely "broken away" that it had become a national security threat of its own, the threat consisting of its enormous appetite for money. Or as I suggested yesterday, missing trillions and missing personnel are two symptoms of the same "breakaway civilization" coin. If this reading of the situation be the case, then this implies something else, namely, that among all the other signs of deep state factional infighting we've seen going on lately, that one can add to it this as well. And that means that this process will have to be scrutinized very closely.
