ENTANGLEMENT BECOMING MORE MACROCOSMIC…

Mr. P.J. spotted this one, and it's a doozie, because scientists have now demonstrated that entanglement - that strange non-local phenomenon where particles "entangled" with information stay coupled with each other, no matter the distance between them - is no longer an affair to be limited simply to individual particles, but to several, or in this case, billions of them:

Synopsis: Quantum Entanglement With 10 Billion Atoms

Before we get to this article, in my most recent book Microcosm and Medium I noted how the physicist Wheeler, one of the "inventors" of the multi-verse theory of quantum mechanics, was fascinated by the question of whether or not the observer principle of quantum mechanics was operative at a much more macrocosmic level, not just at the level of particles, but in the larger universe; he was spurred to this question by a consideration of group observers, and whether they could, so to speak, bend the fabric of reality by an agreed-upon group intention. The implications of his speculations are such that the idea of entanglement of information between two particles could be extended to whole systems.

With that idea of "whole systems" in mind, ponder these two paragraphs from the above story at phys.org:

While certain quantum behaviors are currently limited to atomic systems, researchers keep searching for hints of quantum physics in more massive objects. Now Simon Gröblacher, of Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands, and colleagues have pushed the boundaries of quantum weirdness to macroscopic scales. They demonstrated quantum entanglement and violations of Bell’s inequality—a canonical test of the principle that all influences on a particle are local and that particle states exist independently of the observer. They used two mechanical resonators, each containing roughly 10 billion atoms.

In their experiments, the team placed two 10-μm -long resonators, made of strips of silicon, 20 cm apart in separate arms of an optical interferometer. A laser pulse shot through a beam splitter mechanically excited one of the two resonators, but there was no way to tell which one. The excited resonator emitted a photon, which passed through a second beam splitter and registered at one of two detectors. The emission of this photon signaled entanglement of the mechanical states of the two resonators. A second laser pulse verified the entanglement by converting the excited resonator’s excitation into a second photon, which was also recorded by the detectors. (Emphasis added)

Let that one sink in for a moment: the experiment involved the entanglement not of two particles, but two whole mechanical resonators, two systems of a much more macrocosmic scale, consisting of billions of atoms. With a little "tweaking" such a system could be used to create networks of entangled resonators - think of it like a complex hyper-dimensional artificial set of neurons - which would be beneficial for quantum computing:

The team hopes to test quantum mechanics on an even larger scale by creating more complex quantum states of optomechanical systems. Also, by improving the lifetime of the mechanical excitations of the resonators—currently limited to just a few microseconds—the team says that this setup could operate as a memory node in a quantum network.

Add some nano-technology engineering of the materials of such resonators themselves to improve (presumably) the efficiency of the entanglement of such resonators or their life-time of operability, and you get the idea. Nano-engineering, in other words, is the key to "creating more complex quantum states" of such "optomechanical systems."

Now let's walk off the end of the twig of high octane speculation and scale the idea up even more: imagine creating such resonators with a regularity of construction on the size, say, of whole buildings (think pyramids, folks), and one has a system of entangled analogue optomehcanical resonators that are, gee whiz, lookie lookie, piezo-electric in nature, and they're spread all over the surface of the planet to boot (and, if some suggestive photographs of our celestial neighbors are any indication, "elsewhere" as well). And if those resonators are coupled oscillators to their home planet(s) and other bodies as well, then one might be looking at a gigantic celestial machine...

Kardashev anyone?

5G EXPERIMENT IN THE NETHERLANDS IS A RESOUNDING… FAILURE

Many regular readers here have been bringing articles to my attention for several months concerning 5G towers. Admittedly, this is not a subject with which I'm very familiar, save only to know that many people have been raising alarm about it. I've a steep learning curve here, so bear with me. But this article shared by Mr. S.D. caught my attention, largely for its assertion that a 5G test for "environmental harmfulness" was quietly conducted in The Hague, The Netherlands:

Hundreds Of Birds Dead During 5g Experiment In The Hague, Netherlands

While the article is quite lengthy, and cites a number of sources, the center of my concerns are here:

About a week ago at The Hague, many birds died spontaneously, falling dead in a park. You likely haven’t heard a lot about this because it seems keeping it quiet was the plan all along. However, when about 150 more suddenly died – bringing the death toll to 297 – some started to take notice.

And if you are looking around that park you might have seen what is on the corner of the roof across the street from where they died: a new 5G mast, where they had done a test, in connection with the Dutch railway station, to see how large the range was and whether no harmful equipment would occur on and around the station. And harm happened, indeed. Immediately afterward, birds fell dead from the trees. And the nearby ducks that were swimming seemed to react very oddly as well; they were simultaneously putting their heads underwater to escape the radiation while others flew away, landing on the street or in the canal.

Again, almost at the exact same time that those animals died, near the station, Holland Spoor was tested with a 5G transmitter mast.

“If they all got heart-failure with an healthy body, no signs of any virus, no bacterial infection, healthy blood, no poisons found etc. etc. The only reasonable explanation is, that it is from the new 5G Microwaves having an huge effect of all birds hearts! … It heavily resonates with certain ERRATIC PULSED Microwaves (millions per second!) which can be proven to have biological effects on organs! … Am not kidding here! … Some people assume Microwaves at lower wattage “can not harm” because “it does not cook you” … that very flawed “logic” is what they want you to repeat over and over! … Search in “Google Scholar Search Site”: Biological Effects of Non-ionizing Microwaves and be ready to be shocked how stupid most sheeple really are in believing blindly the so called “experts” & ” authorities” of FCC, Telecom & Wireless Industry propaganda!” – John Kuhles, founder of Fb.com/groups/Stop5G & Fb.me/Stop5G owner of Stop5G.net

I've written many times on this website about various mind control technologies which use microwaves in interferometry to produce entrainment effects, and even remote "voice of God" technologies for broadcasting thoughts directly into brains. My most recent book, Microcosm and Medium discusses some of these technologies and their possible applications at some length, and I've also written on this website about my suspicions that the Cuban embassy attacks were the result of the use of similar types of technologies.

So herewith some high octane speculation:

It is a short step from that basic concept to a similar use of microwave technologies - perhaps again involving interferometry - to produce beat frequencies which could interfere with, or actually shut down, the electrical functioning of organisms' nervous systems, including organs such as the heart. And that's what is so alarming here: birds might be resonant to certain such frequencies, other organisms to other frequencies. All one needs to do, so to speak, is to "dial in" the right frequency, and one could eradicate a regional population of dogs, cats... or even humans.

So herewith some more high octane speculation:

A few years ago I blogged about the strange deaths of geese and other birds in midflight in remote places such as Idaho (see YOU TELL US: BIRDS “FALL FROM THE SKY” IN IDAHO, STONE ...). There was also an episode a few years ago of a flight of birds that fell dead to the ground in Tennessee, simultaneously. At the time of the strange incident in Idaho, the theory was quickly advanced by the "lamestream" that the birds had contracted a sudden-onset flu of some sort, and came crashing to the ground (again, simultaneously!) because of it. A moment's reflection on this story from The Netherlands reveals the possibility that these earlier incidents may have been similar - and very secret - tests, perhaps of some prototype 5G technology.

If so, then that contains a frightening implication, namely, that the effects of the technology were well known, far in advance of this most recent incident, and that "they" have gone ahead with their plans anyway.

AN UPDATE ABOUT THE LATEST CALIFORNIA FIRES

No sooner did I post last Tuesday's blogs about the strangeness surrounding the latest fires in California than I began to receive all sorts of emails from people who live there, and it seems plenty of people there also find their suspicion meters at least in the orange zone.  And one of the things they've been noticing is that the fires are (coincidentally, of course) aligned with the projected route of that state's high speed rail coorridors (and thanks to the many people that sent this in):

Dianne Feinstein’s Husband Wins Near-Billion Dollar California ‘High Speed Rail’ Contract

That was just one article of several, and I selected it both because of the date and it's succinctness. Another, which is more of a "visual aid" was sent in by scores of people, and in this case, a picture is worth a thousand words:

In spite of the graphic's caption that the wildfires "exactly" line up, which they do not, they do in my opinion line up in ways just a little too "coincidental" to be "coincidental."

And that raises all sorts of nasty implications. It was former Assistant Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, Catherine Austin Fitts, who a year ago - as other areas of California were burning in suspicious wildfires - offered the hypothesis that people were indeed being deliberately burned out of their houses and homes. The reason? The Silicon Valley plutocrats and technocrats needed to expand, and make room for hundreds if not thousands of technicians being "reshored" into the country. And they had to do so cheaply and quickly. Given that those fires also demonstrated some high strangeness, like guardrails melting while nearby shrubbery and trees did not burn, the question was raised about the potential mechanisms for the fires, and who would have access to them. At the time, I speculated that there could be natural explanations, but that they were almost as weird as the fires themselves, and a little too weird to be plausible. The simpler though much more unpleasant hypothesis was that the fires were deliberately started by some sort of exotic energy weaponry in a kind of "arson by microwave interferometry".

In any case, it would seem to me that Ms. Fitts' hypothesis has gained, with these latest fires, more traction. The question of who would have access to such things is also easily answered: the government, of course, is one, but also the government's many defense contractors, many of whom are located - once again conveniently and coincidentally - in California.

There's another nasty implication, besides that of people in a hurry are willing to simply burn people out of their homes rather than waste time about eminent domain haggles and property purchases. (Besides, burned out property is a lot cheaper and people are in a hurry to unload it.) That "other nasty implication" is that if my hypothesis of reshoring manufacturing in a dispersed way so as to create greater security from potential interdiction is true, then those California fires may be coming to a neighborhood near you.

But hey, just in time, PG&E announced that there's nothing to be concerned about: they may have accidentally started the fires (this article shared by Ms. C.V.):

PG&E reports power line problem in Butte County near time and place where wildfire sparked Read more here: https://www.sacbee.com/news/state/california/fires/article221448500.html#storylink=cpy

And now, just as I write this blog, the news on the radio reports that a lawsuit has been filed against PG&E for defective power lines. That makes it official: Nothing to see here. Move along.

Perhaps they're testing the power lines all along the rail routes?

FISHY CALIFORNIA FIRES AND OTHER STUFF

Ok... so there was election fraud, in Florida no less... we all expected that. After all, this is the state infamous for its hanging chad. More importantly, it is the state whose election fraud - if you've been following the alternative research field for some time - also gave birth to the first major "study" of the problem, the Collier's 1990s classic Votescam. If you've not read it, read it; it's an eye-opener. And peculiarly, as all this rumor of vote fraud and recounts gets under way, we have yet another shooting episode, this time (or once again) in California. Now, with so many shooting episodes going on, you'll notice a complete absence of discussion in the lamestream media on one possibility: mind control. It does exist, and if one grants the hypothesis that some people would like to disarm the American population completely, then one way to do it would be to create the climate of opinion to do so by staging such events utilizing such mind-manipulated "Manchurian patsies." (Just a thought.) And while all this talk of recounts and discovered ballot boxes and voters watching machines flip their votes, not only do we have another shooting incident, but we have yet more "California fires."

There's no question, at least in my mind, that those northern California fires last year were "mighty fishy," especially when one saw so many burnt out homes and businesses, with shrubs and trees mere feet from said burnt out homes and businesses, not only not burnt, but in some cases, with their foliage intact and apparently not burned at all. How does a firestorm driven by winds do this? Common sense says it cannot, and therefore, one is looking at something very different than the standard fire. Within this alternative research field, many people suspected some sort of exotic energy weapon (note I did not say directed energy weapon), and some went so far as to invoke the strange collapse of the World Trade Center towers on 9/11 in this connection. Videos quickly began to make the rounds showing burnt out building after burnt out building, with nearby plant life alive and well. One video even showed plants bent over, and "spiraled" or in a few cases, "cooked from the inside out", all telltale signatures of microwaves.

This latest round of fires is mighty fishy to me, not only given its timing - did Russia only hack half the election this time? - but its circumstances.

Here's a case in point that many people saw on Twitter, and shared with me:

Now, I can "get" asphalt burning, and I can "get" a bridge burning, and even buckling guard rails. But I cannot fathom how it is doing this, while the nearby shrubbery appears to be foliating quite happily untouched by consuming fire or heat. Is heat somehow being conducted through the Earth at frequencies resonant to guard rails and supporting I-beams? Admittedly, that's an end-of-the-twig high octane speculation, but the seismic activity "up-tick" in recent days on the infamous San Andreas Fault may be related. I don't know. I mention it because high octane speculation is what we do here.

So, I don't know about you, but these latest fires seem to be to be like a mackerel on a moonlit beach, they both shine and stink, for it's not only the timing of them that I find a bit to "convenient," but the circumstances that are so oddly reminiscent of last year's fires, and in that resemblance, fishy as heck.

LION AIR CRASH SUSPICIONS

If you're a frequent flier, you might want to avoid the Malaysian-Indonesian archipelago, for aircraft seem to have an odd habit of crashing (or simply disappearing). Yesterday I updated the Malaysia Air Flight 370 saga with the latest theory of a potential debris field in Cambodia.  Then, of course, we have the highly suspicious crash of Lion Air flight 610, on an internal flight in Indonesia, which just "coincidentally" of course, had approximately twenty passengers from Indonesia's finance ministry aboard. We'll get back to that in a moment, but here's two articles about the crash shared by Mr. M.H.:

The Mystery of the New Boeing Jet That Plunged Into the Sea, Killing 189

Indonesian plane crashes into sea, all 189 on board feared dead

Now, I don't know about you, but when airliners crash with twenty people from a country's finance ministry aboard, my suspicion meter goes into the red zone. Mr. M.H. pointed out something interesting from the second article:

At least 23 government officials, four employees of state tin miner PT Timah and three employees of a Timah subsidiary, were on the plane. A Lion Air official said one Italian passenger and an Indian pilot were on board.

Speaking at a hospital, a tearful Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati paid tribute to the 21 officials from her ministry on the doomed flight who she said "died doing their duty".

As for Finance Minister Sri Nulyani Indrawati, Mr. M.H. also noted this about the Wikipedia article on her:

Sri Mulyani Indrawati - (born 26 August 1962) is an Indonesian economist who has been Minister of Finance of Indonesia since 2016; previously she served in the same post from 2005 to 2010. In June 2010 she was appointed as Managing Director of the World Bank Group and resigned as Minister of Finance. On July 27, 2016, Sri Mulyani was reappointed as Minister of Finance in a cabinet reshuffle by President Joko Widodo, replacing Bambang Permadi Soemantri Brodjonegoro.[1]

As finance minister from 2005 to 2010, Sri Mulyani was known as a tough reformist[2][3] and was largely credited with strengthening Indonesia's economy, increasing investments and steering Southeast Asia's largest economy through the 2007–10 financial crisis.[4][5] In 2014, she was ranked as the 38th most powerful woman in the world by Forbes magazine.[6]

All of which led Mr. M.H. to suspect that this crash, with its sudden plunge at 350 mph into the ocean, as not accidental. When I learned of the crash, and of the people on board, I thought the same thing. Then a pilot and engineer who shall remain nameless, and who has some experience with Boeing aircraft contacted me privately with his own suspicions that the odd flight pattern indicated that the aircraft had been commandeered "from outside" and literally flown into the ocean.

So the question, if this was deliberate sabotage and murder, is why? There's two things here that make me incredibly suspicious: (1) Ms. Indrawati herself, and (2) the mining company. Indrawati, given her high positions both in the World Bank Group and in the Indonesian ministry of finance, would be in a position to "know things," especially if as the Wikipedia article suggests, she helped steer Indonesia through the 2008 financial crisis. She may indeed know things about that crisis that certain people would want to ensure she keep quiet about.

It's the mining company, though, that caught my interest. Tin is of course a valuable commodity. The Indonesian oil fields and tin mines were a strategic objective of the Japanese Empire during World War Two. But there's a very loose, high octane speculation here that hovers over the whole affair, and that's Indonesian premier Sukharno, and his gold. (See BANKS AND THE NATIONAL SECURITY STATE PART TWO: THE BEARER BONDS ...)

In other words, people high in the Indonesian financial structure are likely to know a great deal of the history of hidden finance, and thus my high octane suspicion here is twofold: (1) someone is sending messages to Indonesia, and (2) I strongly suspect that those unfortunate passengers on flight 610 with connections both to the Indonesian finance ministry, and to the PT Timah mining operation, may either have been journeying to a final destination other than Pangkal Pinang, or that they were to meet people in that Indonesian city that have, as yet, not been disclosed.

The unfortunate thing here is that time, in this case, may not tell... But it's not the first time Indonesia has been targeted. Don't forget that tsunami came about one week after a sudden and inexplicable sell-off of Indonesian sovereign securities...

THE CONTINUING SAGA OF MALAYSIA AIR 370: ENGINES FOUND IN CAMBODIA?

Regular readers here know that I am fascinated by the strange - and still unexplained - disappearance of Malaysia Air Flight 370. So when Mr. R.M. sent this article along, I knew I'd be blogging about it, and here we are. It's short, to the point, and as always seems to be the case with this strange story, it raises more questions than it answers(I've provided two links to the story):

MH370 SHOCK: Pilot makes ‘MASSIVE DISCOVERY’ by finding plane’s engine in Cambodian jungle

MH370 SHOCK: Pilot makes ‘MASSIVE DISCOVERY’ by finding plane’s engine in Cambodian jungle

And here's the central claim:

The investigator Daniel Boyer discovered the unusual white objects he believes to be the plane’s engine, tail and cockpit just 16km from a “crash site” identified by the British film producer Ian Wilson.

Using Google Earth, Mr Boyer claimed two of the objects are the same size as the Boeing 777 engine and cockpit.

Mr Boyer told Daily Star Online: “I couldn’t believe it when I made the sighting. This is a massive discovery.

“First the cockpit can be seen, and now this.

“The debris definitely needs to be investigated.”

Mr Wilson claimed to have found a “plane-shaped object” in the jungle south of the Cambodian capital Phnom Penh on Google Maps.

Now, if you're like me, you're probably thinking, "But wait a minute, what about all that other alleged MH 370 debris that washed up in Madagascar and other islands in the west Indian Ocean?" Well, thankfully, the article mentions this as well:

However, if the sightings are real and plane parts have been found in the Cambodian Jungle, the MH370 did not crash into the sea.

Another theory is that the plane did not crash as the passengers’ phones rang for four days after the disappearance.

Consider all the problems here: (1) if the debris in Cambodia is not from MH 370, then what is it debris from, and why haven't we heard about it? And similarly (2) if the debris found in the western Indian Ocean islands is not from MH 370, then what is it from? (And, just for the record, a few pilots contacted me privately to express their doubts about the pictures of that debris when they were first shown in the media). And there's a third possibility here that no one seems to want to entertain: (3) if the debris in Cambodia and the western Indian Ocean islands is from Flight 370, then what the dickens happened to it? That may seem to be a rather oddball way of stating the problem, but a less odd ball way is to recall that some eyewitnesses report seeing and/or hearing a civilian airliner with Malaysia Air type markings flying back across the Malay peninsula to the southwest (hence giving rise to all those initial "Diego Garcia" theories, along with the functioning passenger telephones, of course), and hence away both from its presumed crash site in the eastern Indian Ocean to the west of Australia, and also away from Cambodia.

Now all of these speculative questions raise even darker possibilities in terms of our daily dose of high octane speculation: are we looking at (1) "salted" debris fields, deliberately designed to obfuscate the data so badly that no determination can be made on what caused the flight's disappearance? Or (2) assuming the Cambodian and Indian Ocean debris are all genuine, and assuming this debris has not been salted, then what the dickens happened to the flight? How does one account for such an impossible distribution of debris? And while we're at it, we might as well recall that Vietnam and China both suspected it went down in the South China Sea, and that the Chinese made a military spy satellite photo available shortly after MH 370's disappearance, and then quickly retracted that, while American generals went on television and proposed that the flight secretly continued on into India, flying closely behind another civilian airliner (I kid you not!), to land in Iran as part of some dastardly terrorist scheme sponsored by Iran and (of course) Russia and Vladimir Putin! India, you'll recall, quickly denounced that story as nonsense and made it very clear that anything entering Indian air space would have been detected by their air defense systems.

When you put it all together, it's simply ridiculous; we have a flight crashing in the South China Sea, the eastern Indian Ocean, Cambodia, and somehow managing to fly and be seen by eyewitnesses to the southwest over the Malay peninsula in a direction away from all its various presumed "crash sites". The Malay ambassador to Madagascar, who was responsible for the collection of the washed up debris in the Western Indian Ocean islands, is murdered, the French government continues its own independent investigation and isn't talking very much, and on and on it goes. An American general comes up with a ridiculous theory, which India quickly shoots down (not to coin a pun).

It's that second possibility - the impossible distribution of all the alleged debris - that captures my attention, for if that be the case, then whatever happened to flight 370 may have been something very exotic. In any case, someone knows the story, and they're not talking.

AMAIRIKUHN EDGYKAYSHUN: NO TIME TO PAUSE AND REFLECT

It's been quite a while since I've had one of my pauses to reflect on the state of Amarikuhn edgykayshun. Perhaps it is time to do so, with the death of John Taylor Gotto, who did so much to try to awaken the "edugarchy" (as Gary Lawrence and I called it in our book Rotten to the (Common) Core), and the wider public to what is going on. At one point, Gotto observed that the "fifty minute bell" inoculated students against the idea that any subject discipline was worth any intense and prolonged reflection. Rather, students were herded from one class and one room to another, and by the time "roll call" and "attendance" was taken and announcements were made, ten precious minutes had passed, leaving the teachers who took their responsibility to deliver their subject material and the tradition it represented, but forty minutes to do so.

In other words, in the "sound bite world," life speeds up, learning - which requires an investment of time, time to pause and reflect - slows down and is shut down entirely, by a system deliberately designed to do just that.

Which brings us to today's article, shared by Mr. V.T. And it's one of those articles that, in itself, is meant to be reflected upon:

This 1897 Text Gives 3 Clues Why Today’s Students Can’t Write

Consider just the three excerpts quoted from that 1897 textbook:

"One of the quickest ways of learning to know good English, is oral reading. For him who would write the language it is therefore a great economy to learn to read it. It is an invaluable habit to read aloud every day some piece of prose with the finest feeling the reader can lend to it. In no other way can one so easily learn to notice and to remember new words. In no other way can one catch the infinitely varied rhythm of prose, and acquire a sense of how a good sentence rises gradually from the beginning and then descends in a cadence. This rise and fall of the sentence is not merely a matter of voice; it is a matter of thought as well. …

If the student reads aloud from writers whose work was natural, unforced, original, he will gradually come to see his own ideas more clearly, feel his own feelings more keenly."

"To gain new words and new ideas, the student must compel himself to read slowly. Impatient to hurry on and learn how the tale or poem ends, many a youth is accustomed to read so rapidly as to miss the best part of what the author is trying to say. Thoughts cannot be read so rapidly as words. To get at the thoughts and really to retain the valuable expressions, the student must scrutinize and ponder as he reads. Each word must be thoroughly understood; its exact value in the given sentence must be grasped.”

"To the habit of memorizing, many a person is indebted not merely for high thoughts that cheer hours of solitude and that stimulate his own thinking, but for command of words. The degree to which the language of modern writers is derived from a few great authors is startling. Shakespeare’s phrases are a part of the tissue of every man’s speech to-day. Such writers as Charles Lamb bear Shakespeare’s mark on every page. The language of the King James version of the Bible is echoed in modern English prose and poetry. It formed styles so unlike as those of Bunyan, Ruskin, and Abraham Lincoln. Most teachers would declare that a habit of learning Scripture by heart is of incalculable value to a student’s English.”

Forget about that part of reading Scripture, even for a literary purpose. It simply doesn't "skim" well.  And you can forget about oral recitation, too. When I was in public school, I had to be able to recite the preamble of the US Constitution, the Gettysburg Address, and yes, even the occasional Shakespeare soliloquy. And that was in the seventh grade. We had to stand at our desks, and recite them, perfectly, with Mrs. Rosine overseeing the whole process. We also had to be able to spell. It wouldn't work today, because students can barely read, much less recite, much less take a pen or pencil and write a coherent sentence.

But what really caught my attention here is the emphasis not only on recitation, but on reading slowly. I have to admit, that resonated, because I am a  ploddingly slow reader. I even take notes in my books as I read; they're full of underlinings, notes in the margins, post-it notes when the margins won't provide enough space. It's laborious work. It requires slowing down, pausing, re-reading passages.

It's not a process for someone in a hurry to gobble up information and regurgitate it in a constipated tangle of unrelated factoids. It's not "speed reading." (And while we're at it, has anyone ever investigated how speed reading techniques might be connected to the disappearance of proper verb conjugations, or the proper use of definite and indefinite articles, reflexive or demonstrative pronouns, and so on, or the other atrocities passing for written English in today's schools?  I can't think of any, but I suspect there's a connection to the speed-reading craze of the 1970s, and today's mess, where the attitude to a Shakespeare soliloquy is "Can't he get to the point?")

What's really happening, I fear, is that the splits we see all across our culture - from politics to the arts - is a fundamental one, and there's really no common ground between the two. It's that split between those who think Google is a library, and replaces a library, and those who know not everything is on the internet, that occasionally, one has to dig through the stacks, blow the dust off a book, sit, and read, and reflect. The one turns us into Pavlovian machines, tapping a keyboard, and pushing "enter" and out pops the informational meat we're salivating for. Problem solved, reflection, slow pausing to think, not needed nor necessary. The other reminds us we're human, and come from a long tradition and history, from Christ to Kant, with people reading, writing, reflecting, elaborating or critiquing.

Americans use "quote", the verb, to mean the noun, "quotation," because they don't even know the difference between the two any more. "Let me read you a quote from Milton." Milton would have already left the room as soon as that sentence was uttered. Into the vacuum left by our non-reflective "kulcher" steps the narcissist and his feelings and reckless abandon with words. We hear the solipsistic turn on every television news broadcast, in every attempt to have a serious conversation about anything. "How do you feel about that?" has come to replace "What do you think about that?" And the reason for its ubiquity in conversation is simple: people don't think, because they don't want to take the time. It's the secular version of the revival tent meeting. Read the Bible? In Greek? The Church Fathers? The Greek Philosophers? The Medieval Scholastics? The Renaissance Humanists? Luther? Calvin? Kant? or even, Hegel? No, the personal experience and testimony, divorced from all that came before, is much easier. It's more fun. It's self-validating. And besides, if you ask what someone thinks about something, you actually have to waste your time and listen to what he or she thinks about it! We've forgotten, entirely, that the journey is a part, and the largest part, of any answer.

It's much easier to skim through a text, to "mine data" rather than understand information, to think about it, and how we got "here" from "there". As the article says, good speaking and ability to write, comes after a long period of listening, and reading, others.

Ok... rant over.

OF (ANTARCTIC) ICE CUBES AND (MARTIAN) CLOUD PLUMES: PART TWO

Yesterday I blogged about all the conspiracy theories floating around about that cloud plume that recently formed on Mars, the apparent effect of outgassing from a "dormant" Martian volcano, and the questions its raises about the atmospheric conditions on that planet. Today, we take a look at another story, also one involving NASA, and one involving those strange, nearly perfectly rectilinear "icebergs" that NASA allegedly photographed off the coast of Antarctica.

I say "allegedly", because you'll recall that yesterday I made my "bit of mental reservation" about the photographs clear. Anyone - including NASA - can photoshop anything. So I'm speculating on in my usual fashion: let's assume the story is true, and that "they" are not having a bit of fun at "our" expense, and speculate on the implications. Again, so many people sent me this article that I have to extend my "generic thanks" to all of you who did so:

NASA scientists discover 'photogenic' iceberg with almost perfect right angles and a flat top

Now, I'm hardly an icebergologist, or whatever they call experts in icebergs. All I know about them is that you don't want to board ocean liners from Southhampton to New York while they're hanging around. But I chose this particular version of the story from Australia because there is a very short video clip at the beginning of the article, prior to the actual picture of what sure looks like a very rectilinear iceberg with four almost perfectly perpendicular corners, and four almost perfectly straight edges, almost like it had been cut from the ice sheet. We'll get back to that.

At the beginning of the video, however, as the airplane is flying over a bunch of other icebergs, one notices something...well... a little peculiar: a bunch of other icebergs, again, with nearly perfect rectilinear features, all looking that they had been fit together like jigsaw pieces in some gigantic iceberg puzzle, and had fractured apart.  Again, I'm not an "icebergologist," but I do know that when I drop icecubes on my floor, and they shatter into lots of little pieces that Shiloh instantly gobbles up, that they're rarely if ever in the form of perfectly formed rectilinear little shards of ice.

Once again, we get the "nothing to see here move along" explanation:

According to scientists, the iceberg's sharp angles and flat surface are an indication that it had probably recently broken off the ice shelf.

"I often see icebergs with relatively straight edges, but I've not really seen one before with two corners at such right angles like this one," Operation IceBridge senior support scientist Jeremy Harbeck said.

And then there's the explanation for snapping the photograph itself:

"I was actually more interested in capturing the A68 iceberg that we were about to fly over, but I thought this rectangular iceberg was visually interesting and fairly photogenic, so on a lark, I just took a couple of photos," Mr Harbeck said.

The rectangular iceberg appeared to be freshly calved from Larsen C, which in July 2017 released the massive A68 iceberg, a chunk of ice about 5,000 square kilometres.

Uh huh. You decide "on a lark" to take a picture of a rectangular iceberg which is 5000 square kilometers in size, and it just happened to break off from the ice sheet in a perfectly rectilinear form. It happens all the time.

So in addition to all the strange people associated with Antarctica - and just for kicks, let's remember who some of them are:

  • Reichmarschall Hermann Goering
  • Kiril III, Patriarch of Moscow
  • US Secretary of State John Kerrey
  • Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin
  • Admiral Richard Byrd
  • Fleet Admiral Chester Nimitz
  • US Secretary of the Navy John Forrestal
  • Rudolf Hess
  • King Juan Carlos
  • and some British Royals
  • And Sultan Tayipp Erdogan
  • and so on...
  • ...oh and let's not forget Lockheed-Martin

- there have been persistent internet stories of strange things being found on Google Earth, and whatever one thinks of those stories, now we have a rectangular iceberg that was photopgraphed "on a lark."

Now, if you're like me, you're probably thinking, "there's something wrong with this picture." Why, for example, is NASA involved with Antarctica, and why is it flying planes over icerbergs to snap pictures of a rectangular iceberg "on a lark"?

In other words, it's time for some of our well-known High Octane Speculation. First speculation: NASA is snapping photos and doing overflies of rectangular icebergs because its cadre of icerbergologists has told NASA that "rectangular icebergs" just aren't normal. Speculation number two: The iceberg looks like it has been cut from the ice shelf, which raises two very important questions: (1) by whom? and (2) how? As regards the latter, one could certainly drill and plant explosives (lots of explosives) and "cut" the ice that way, but that might not result in the regularity we actually see. And who would have the time and money to do it? And why?And while we're at it, such a procedure would not account for the apparently flat top of said iceberg. But since NASA is involved, it's not unreasonable to assume that perhaps the professional icebergology community at NASA might suspect that it has something to do with space, and perhaps a space-based technology what would allow cutting a rectangular iceberg by "other means." Again, by whom? And why?

Well, one answer to the "why" might be "Lookee at what we can do with our nifty technology." (At least they didn't name the iceberg the Titanic or Olympic or Lusitania.)

When one packages all of this together - the strange people involved with the place, the strange photos that some allege they've found of "strange stuff" down there, and now the oddly geometrical "icebergs" - it seems clear to me (I don't know about you), that something mighty strange is going on down there, that "insiders" from Goering to Byrd to ...well, see the above list ... might know about it or at least some of it, and that they're keeping it secret from the rest of us.

See you on the flip side...

OF (ANTARCTIC) ICE CUBES AND (MARTIAN) CLOUD PLUMES: PART ONE

OK, by now, you've probably all seen the pictures of the cloud plumes on Mars, and the perfectly rectangular icerberg(s) in Antarctica. So, before we crawl out to the end of the twig of high octane speculation about either one, let me just go on record ab initio as being very skeptical of the explanations for both stories, particularly the cloud plume on Mars. Do I think it's "terraforming"? No. Do I think it's more evidence of life? Maybe. And so on and so on. Similarly with the rectangular iceberg(s) or ice cubes in Antarctica. Part of me thinks "This is just too perfect and someone is having a bit of fun by planting a fake story in the media." Well, to be honest, I wouldn't put it past "them" to have a little fun like that from time to time. After all, the infamous British Alternative 3 ITV/East Anglia TV "documentary" started off as an elaborate April Fools' Day joke.

So, here more than usual, my approach is "let's speculate on 'what does it mean?' as if both stories are genuine." I don't doubt both are, I just have that bit of mental reservation about the Antarctic ice cube thing.

So let's look at that Mars cloud plume and at RT's presentation of the story in particular(and thanks to all of you who sent this story):

‘NASA is hiding life on Mars’: Here’s what’s really going on in red planet ‘explosion’ IMAGES

Most regular readers who've been following this site for a few years know that I'm very skeptical about almost anything NASA ever says about Mars, much less when it shows us pictures and offers explanations (remember the "Litter Box" view of "the Face" and the "explanations" for that one?).  "It's not really a fossil, it just looks like one; that's really not rectilinearity with perfectly formed cylinders like a motor; it's merely a happenstance appearance due the angle of the camera and blah blah blah." Oh, and let's not forget Iapetus. "We have no explanation for how geological processes could lead to the formation of three perfectly parallel ridges around the equator of that Saturnian satellite... but we're working on it!"  Of course, NASA didn't really say those things, but they might as well have, because their explanations were almost as ridiculous as the "ice particles" explanation for the space shuttle 48 video of all those UFOs flying around, and someone apparently shooting at them.

And then there's the other side, wherein every strange or odd thing about Mars is taken as stunning proof that someone is up there doing strange and odd things, like having cloud plumes  appear near Martian volcanoes which  are supposed to be inactive. Now, what's interesting to me about the cloud plume story is RT's rather bland, slightly tongue in cheek, but ultimately non-committal approach to the story:

Conspiracy theorists went into overdrive after spotting a ‘mysterious plume of smoke’ near a dormant Martian volcano, with many claiming this as proof that alien life exists on the red planet and we’re being lied to here on Earth.

Allegations of a NASA-led cover up spread like wildfire online, with popular conspiracy theory YouTube channel secureteam10 producing an eight-minute long exposé entitled, ‘Something MAJOR Happened On Mars.. Are They Hiding It?’

One commenter(sic) on the video drew upon his welding experience to lay bare the terraforming operations already underway on Mars, citing craters formed by lightning strikes as evidence of alien technology reshaping the planet’s atmosphere. “Too many coincidences here to ignore any more. NASA needs to stop being the police of the scientific community.” (Boldface emphasis added)

Now, obviously, RT is not of the view that what is taking place is terraforming.

But, it is also apparently willing to admit that something strange is taking place. When I was first told about the strange plume, my first thought was that the volcano may not be so inactive after all, and that we were looking at outgassing. But of what? One colleague told me she thought that mere steam would seem to be quite improbable, given the thinness - and dryness - of the Martian atmosphere. A 2000 kilometer-long plume probably couldn't form because it simply couldn't last that long. I had to agree. And so, apparently, does RT:

To spoil the fun and settle the debate, RT.com contacted the ESA for an explanation of the contentious images of the red planet.

“No ground or space based observations of Mars or its atmosphere have produced any credible evidence for active volcanism occurring in the present day or recent history,” party-pooper and planetary scientist Elliot Sefton-Nash, who works on several ESA projects including Mars Sample Return, ExoMars and Mars Express, told RT.com.

Oh... wait... no good evidence for active volcanism? Well, that leaves essentially two options: (1) either were looking at that evidence now, which means that Mars is still geothermally and geophysically active, or (2) the plume is the result of something else. Then there is (3) the "Nothing to see here move along" explanation:

“Clouds are known to form seasonally in this region, and are associated with the volcanoes because their topography influences atmospheric conditions,” he continues. “This is a well documented phenomenon and several scientific articles exist documenting and explaining the process and highlight the seasonal regularity of the occurrence in this region.”

But wait, clouds forming on Mars? How? Why? What are they made of? How do they form in such a thin atmosphere? Or is it as thin as we've been told?

What we're left with is a mystery any way one slices it, and the mystery might just be due to the fact we may not have been told everything about Mars' atmosphere itself.

After all, it took some time before we saw actual real color images of the planet, you know, the images that were not run through the "red filter" that we were all exposed to during the 1960s' through the 1990s.

The bottom line is: it does appear that we're not being told everything, and in that vacuum, the conspiracy theories abound. And "they" have no one to blame but themselves.

Which leaves the Antarctic ice cubes...

...but that's for tomorrow...

MURDERED DOCTORS, CANCER ENZYMES, AND VACCINES

Earlier this week I blogged about two articles that seemed to imply a kind of "connection" for my normal daily dose of high octane speculation. And today is no different, as Mr. C.S., Mr. S.D. and Mr. S.D.D. (two different people) shared two different articles, and once again, my suspicion meter is in the red zone. First, Mr. S.D.D. shared this one about a strange new malady appearing in infants around the country:

US Doctors Baffled As Rare Spinal Disease Spreads Across 22 States

US doctors baffled as rare spinal disease spreads across 22 states

When he sent this story, Mr. S.D.D. wondered if this had something to do with vaccines. Well, regular readers on this site know me well enough by now to know that I'm more than willing to crawl out to the end of the twig and speculate, and for my part, I'm willing to bet that it does. But that speculation requires a bit of clarification. I strongly suspect that it has to do not with this or that individual vaccine, but with the combined effects of the vaccine cocktails infants are now normally subjected to shortly after birth. These effects, so far as I know, have not been adequately studied, but it seems to me that such a response - which to my mind suggests an immuno-response - was to be expected eventually.

And that brings us to the story shared by Mr. C.S. and Mr. S.D.: https:

//www.disclose.tv/all-found-murdered-doctors-who-discovered-cancer-enzymes-in-vaccines-314407

Here the implications are nothing less than totally murky, and totally dirty, and the clear implications point to some big players:

A number of holistic doctors in Florida, over 60 of them within one year, who have been found, killed or dead all have one common denominator. They had all found out that an enzyme protein was cancer causing and the protein with the name of Nagalese had been added to vaccines that had been given to humans and this is something that has been happening on a global scale.

...

Nagalese affects the immune system as it disables it and it has also been known to be the cause behind Type 2 diabetes. It was said that the doctors who discovered this were not being killed because they had found a cancer cure or were treating autism successfully, but they were killed because they had researched and found evidence that vaccines that had been injected into children had been causing cancer and autism crisis.

And if that isn't enough, there's this:

A 19-minute video clip has been put online with a lot of important information being said during the first 10 minutes of the video. The speaker in the video is Dr Ted Broer and he breaks the information about Nagalese in the video and he goes on to explain the findings of the doctors. Broer had broken into The Hagmann & Hagmann Report and it took an hour to get him on air as the show, which typically lasts three hours, had been taken down and all the lines they had tried to use kept on being disconnected, then servers were brought down. An hour later they connected with Dr. Broer and one of the first things he was heard saying was that he was not suicidal. It was said that he had been frightened that he would be taken out Hastings style before getting the opportunity to say what he had to say publicly. The short clip is him telling the story.

It was alleged that on three different dates in one month two doctors died on the very same day, which means six doctors in total who died in pairs over three different days. Many skeptics rolled their eyes at the first few deaths believing it to be no more than coincidence that they had all been doctors.

The article also notes that the Florida-based doctors had been planning to make their findings public, and the clear implication is that they had been permanently silenced before they could do so. Accepting the allegations as true for the sake of argument, in Dr. Broer's case he clearly feared for his life.

Most regular readers of this site, who have been following it for a while, know that I have from time to time blogged about the "dead doctors", and that I'm simply not buying that all of this is merely coincidental. The death of Dr. Timothy Cunningham of the CDC remains unsolved. A Canadian pharmaceutical businessman (with ties to the Clintons, incidentally) and his wife are found strangled to death near their swimming pool. Nor are all these deaths merely of "holistic" doctors, but quite a few "normal" physicians have died under suspicious circumstances(think of Dr. Cunningham once again). And most of these have one thing in common: they were either involved in some way with vaccines, or with cancer oncology, or both.

All of this brings me to my high octane speculation. A recent study by a well-known Wall Street investment group (you can guess who) basically concluded that it was not profitable to heal people and cure disease. So how to keep those profits rolling? Weaponize vaccines, make people sick by the very thing you're selling and telling them will keep them healthy. Then, when your child is autistic (because of your vaccines), or comes down with rare spinal disorders, or develops cancer, then keep the profits rolling in by selling your drugs and performing expensive surgeries. And isn't it funny, that when one researches the great "divide" in medicine between the "holistic" and the "pharmaceutical/surgical" in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, one encounters the name Rockefeller.

The bottom line? It's time for the medical profession to wake up, and realize its reputation is quickly tanking, right along with banksters, lawyers, and politicians.

FARMING OUT BIOWARFARE

Every now and then a few people send me an article that, while not necessarily making it to the top of the basket in terms of the number of people sending the story, nevertheless has to be talked about if for no other reason than it is either so bizarre, or so sensational, that not to do so would be a kind of moral dereliction. This is such a story, and my thanks to those of you who drew my attention to it. And as usual, I have my own high octane speculations.  The story itself is quite long, with plenty of pictures, so I will try to keep my own commentary and speculations to a minimum.

The USA, it seems, is "farming out" its biowarfare:

US Diplomats Involved In Trafficking Of Human Blood And Pathogens For Secret Military Program

Now as one who has always believed that GMOs represented a kind of "soft" biowarfare, this one really piqued my curiosity: Why Georgia? There is, I suppose, a kind of macabre irony here, in that Georgia is of course the home to a couple of nefarious individuals, one Iosif Visarionovich Djugashvili, aka Josif Stalin, and his comrade in terror, Sergo Ordzhonikidze. But beyond the strangeness of that, why Georgia? Why pick that for a biowarfare laboratory?

Here I'm indulging in some real high octane speculation. Biowarfare research is conducted by most of the world's major powers, so it comes as no surprise that the USA is doing it. But why do it in Georgia? I cannot help but to think that beyond the desire perhaps to hide it from "prying eyes" that there may be a more practical reason, that perhaps actual preparations are underway for a deployment, if  not use, of weapons.

A glance at the region shows why: Georgia is conveniently close to Turkey, Syria, Iran, and, of course, southern Russia, the Black Sea, and the Crimean peninsula, all countries which have been at the forefront of American foreign policy "concerns" lately. It is, so to speak, a convenient distribution point for the region. And if one is carrying pathogens in and out of the facilities there, as the article alleges, then it is easy to assume similar methods might be employed to distribute its product.

With the rash of recent stories lately about biowarfare - not the least of which is the Skripal case - onee does indeed  wonder if there might bee a connection. And there's another disturbing possibility that emerges: like an covert operation, it's a game that two can play...

MORE ON THE SUNSPOT OBSERVATORY CLOSURE, PART TWO

Yesterday I updated the Sunspot, New Mexico observatory closure with some more articles, all of which are questioning the emergent child pornography  narrative. As I mentioned yesterday, I'm not entirely dismissive of that story, and I hope to clarify today why I am not, and why I still think that the child pornography story is a cover story. Basically, I strongly suspect that the child porn story is a cover story, a convenient "crisis of opportunity" that allowed the raid to occur. My basic theory has been that the observatory's communications network was "piggy-backed" by another entity in some sort of private or covert communications network. Certainly, if the child porn story is true, this might have formed one component of a communications network in a network of such activity - child sex slavery, organ harvesting and so on - that by any accounts appears to be a global phenomenon. The global extent of the activities in turn requires a global communications capability of a covert nature. Additionally, under President Trump's Executive Order of December of 2017, such activities are defined as a national security threat, and as a consequence, the FBI's otherwise strange involvement in this case would be understandable. The contraindication here is that the FBI hasn't exactly appeared to be on the "side" of Mr. Trump in recent months.

The problem with the child porn story is that it does not explain other problems in the "coincident data set" surrounding the event; for example, it does not explain the nearly simultaneous shutdown of the live camera feeds from other solar observatories around the world. This has led to speculation that the whole affair was created as a distraction in order to take down those camera feeds because something was going on either near, or on, the Sun, that "they" didn't want to be seen. This view was fueled by videos making the rounds on YouTube and the internet showing alleged UFO activity around the Sun. While I remain skeptical of these videos, the basic thrust of the argument - that they were concealing something entirely different - cannot be entirely discounted. As one person put it to me, NASA currently has a solar probe near the Sun, and solar observatories would possibly be involved in its observation and coordination. Such a view does also explain the curious and alleged signing of non-disclosure agreements and the payments of cash - hush money - to individuals, as reported by Linda Moulton Howe.

Yet a third theory was that the closure may have been related to espionage that was being conducted from the observatory, which has a line-of-sight view of the White Sands range. Again, if true, the signing of non-disclosure agreements, and the paying of "hush-money" are easily rationalized in such a context.

Yet another problem emerges when one considers the reaction of the Otero County Sheriff to the whole affair, who is mystified at the FBI's behavior. In some versions of the story, the inhabitants of Sunspot were the ones who asked for local law enforcement to be present during the evacuation. The reason this may be significant is that part of the explanation for the total evacuation is that it was necessary to do so in order (1) not to alert the suspect and (2) to ensure the safety of the village inhabitants. So why would the inhabitants request the presence of local law enforcement to keep them safe if the FBI is already on the spot? In other words, the request suggests and implies that something about the FBI's presence made them feel unsafe. So let's continue crawling out to the end of the twig of speculation here: what if the presence of federal officials was not to take down a piggy-backed communications network, but rather, to remove one component using it (the child porn story), while ensuring the rest of it remained operative? What if, in other words, the raid was about protecting something, rather than shutting it down? Possible, but that too, has its problems on closer examination.

There is a further problem here with all explanations, both the official one, and the various alternative theories, and that is, none of them adequately account for the closure of the local post office. How does a local post office closure relate to a child porn story piggy-backing on the observatory communications? It doesn't, save for the "explanation" that "everyone" had to be evacuated lest the "suspect be alerted", which is part of the emergent official narrative. The problem with that narrative all along has been the whole FBI raid itself: suddenly showing up with a Blackhawk helicopter, and agents, is going to alert the suspect, unless he or she was a complete dunce. The only explanation I can find here that makes any sense is that perhaps the post office formed a link in that piggy-backed communications network of the "old fashioned dead drop" kind.

The one thing that has emerged from this whole affair, at least to my mind, is that all potential explanations, from the official one to the various theories out there, is that they all have one peculiar thing in common, and that is the idea of piggy-backed communications. It's the one aspect of this story that simply won't go away, whether or not one does subscribe to the official story. Beyond the strangeness of the observatory itself - which I highlighted in our members' vidchat two weeks ago - the piggy-backed covert communications hypothesis is the one that still makes the most sense to me, and thus, I continue to think there are more layers to this story than are being publicly admitted.
