  • ET PHONE EARTH

    ET PHONE EARTH

    From as far back as my childhood, I recall UFO enthusiasts and believers in ET life to be kooks and con men, people ‘out there’ in a bizarre neverneverland. 

    But recently, very important people have taken up the cause of the hunt for life somewhere else out there. The Pope said it may exist—and don’t forget those large Vatican telescopes which hunt for it every moment of the day. Bill Clinton told Jimmy Kimmel that he wanted to see UFO files on Roswell.. Neil Armstrong… and though the Neil Armstrong/UFO encounter was “debunked” as a myth for years, Armstrong recently spoke openly about the UFO he saw while high above the planet Earth.

    And now, enter NASA into the equation. But they are going the furthest step mankind has yet taken—at least in public commentary. They say that human beings will come to know life exists—KNOW—within 20 years.. that’s before my slated date of retirement.. that’s when my son would be celebrating his 21st year of life, hopefully not being dumb at some bar ingesting an over abundance of shots. 

    No matter where we’ll be who what we’ll be, this 20 year date is intersting for a few reasons.

    Take for instance that ‘mystery roar’ from deep in space.. Scientists have been baffled by it for years. They are still.. Also, with those high profile folks mentioned here talking openly about their desire to find life out there, I am willing to take a leap of faith: One that tells me logic someone, somewhere, deep in the underbelly of science, religion, or reason, knows what’s coming. And when it does, life as we know it will change. We will all feel very small, don’t you think? Would our wars look petty? Or would we battle more? Would our faith be rocked, or would it prove life is even more abundant?

    The news today that scientists are close to finding earth’s twin may also be coming at an interesting point for radio listeners. Last night, Ground Zero with Clyde Lewis had a show about the ‘times of the sign’.. Lewis spoke in depth about the blips, beeps, and outright disturbing noises so often heard coming from somewhat deep in space.

    So the truth, as it always is, is out there somewhere.
    Maybe in 20 years we’ll see if Ronald Reagan was right..

  • Friday night lights: Very important news you probably don’t know about

    Friday night lights: Very important news you probably don’t know about

    Around 4pm today, my email got several messages from reliable sources and news orgazniations about a major 6.8 quake striking Fukushima–with a tsunami warning sounding.. Something still 20th century in my brain made me turn on the TEE VEE networks immediately. Nothing.. the large-headed money men were on FOX talking about the markets and how illegal immigrants will ruin their chances for success.. MSNBC was going on most likely about Chris Christie or an obscure Republican who they say hates women.. CNN’s WOLF BLITZER, at least, was the only one actually reporting news from the Gaza Strip. But no mention anywhere of this notable event.. an earthquake hitting where a nuclear disaster is ongoing.

    But that’s not the only piece of information that major news folks have ignored over the past 24 or so hours.. Some very notable events are occurring on this planet–and beyond–that are bigger than any one political blip on the conventional news radar..

    Before moving on to the rest of the scares, some information about FUKed-ashima for a minute.. The 6.8 jolted Japan and the initial tsunami warning that sounded was lifted without incident. Also if you believe TEPCO, there were no abnormalities today at Fukushima despite the strong earth movement–if you believe TEPCO. And hell, even if there were no issues today there is the constant and ongoing crisis in slow motion that is Fukushima.

    But at least there’s a bit of a sigh of relief..

    Traveling quite a bit away from Japan’s series of bad luck events, Yellowstone National Park is seeing some abnormalities worth mentioning (of course unless you’re on a major news network) .. Roads are melting and turning into a ‘soupy mess.’ This is often normal, we are told.. But not this time. The park spokesman Dan Hottle, told media organizations that bothered to ask today this: The liquefying of pavement that is now occurring is extreme and unusual. A caveat was added, when Hottle said, “But it’s hard to tell if a thermal area is hotter than normal, because it’s always fluctuating here. Road closures are business as usual for us”

    Park officials are discussing how to address the problem, especially since we’re in the midst of the Yellowstone summer tourism season. And let’s not forget recent history: Yellowstone shook in April, March, and several times in between. There was debate in early spring over whether animals were truly running for their lives or just running. Maybe they were avoiding melting roads.. Things got so ‘hot’ that in April, scientists were forced to say there were no reasons to worry about Yellowstone blowing. I have not seen the same scientists comment since the new information of melting roads were reported, nor are they talking much lately about earthquakes resuming along the magma chamber ..
    Another piece of science information that has received little press today: Scientists ‘have no handle’ on distant radio bursts coming from deep space.. It’s a mysterious fast radio burst.. It’s from outside our galaxy–far outside our galaxy. Could this be a burst of some unknown origin …or an alien saying ‘can ya hear me now?’ …scientists are baffled. So there’s no way I would conjecture anything the bursts may be..

    And if all this was not enough, there’s one last thing to pay close attention to: Earth’s magnetic field flip could happen much sooner than expected.. It may even be happening now! Life during wartime.. and pole shifts. It could happen.

    But Ford’s in his Flivver..

    And PLANET OF THE APES is expected to be number 1 this weekend. So ignore all of the bad and just have some fun.

    Raise a glass. The moon is full. And it’s a super moon.

  • “Engage captive audiences”

    “Engage captive audiences”

    No joke, no matter how funny you once thought the concept was: Smart surveillance is here. And the newest form of it that may be rolled out onto your street soon is a talking camera that will not only monitor your every step and stop but also be able to talk to you, too.
    More here from Alex Jones’ Prison Planet on the surveillance equipment, utilized in the UK, that is being prepped to head to streets in the United States. It can record conversations.. But it will have efficient lighting, or so the press release says.

    Marketwatch has the full press release which details the Smartsite ‘state of the art’ surveillance future. 

    It won’t just be your street corner watching you. The press release states the future this way:

    SmartSite is perfectly suited for installation in retail malls, sports venues, on college campuses, and in new construction. A full Activity-Based Costing analysis that would also factor in issues such as more efficient traffic routing during road repairs, special events and emergencies would further strengthen the argument for retrofitting. As the cost of the individual components comes down through economies of scale, the SmartSite system might well become commonplace

    Sound fun?
    Sound futuristic?
    SOUND 1984ish?
    The future is now.  One so dark you’ll need to wear shades.
