If you’re like most people you’re probably thinking, shadow government?  What is that?  I don’t claim to know it all, but just by reading and gathering as much information as I can, I see that this stuff is very real.  If you’re not aware of it already I’ll try to help pull your head out of the sand. The Washington Post just did a huge investigation and wrote an outstanding piece called Top Secret America: A Hidden World, Growing Beyond Control.  They’ve been investigating all of the programs George Bush implemented after 9/11 and it’s insane.  All this screams Big Brother.

First watch this video from Frontline:

The article begins:

The top-secret world the government created in response to the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, has become so large, so unwieldy and so secretive that no one knows how much money it costs, how many people it employs, how many programs exist within it or exactly how many agencies do the same work.

….

* Some 1,271 government organizations and 1,931 private companies work on programs related to counterterrorism, homeland security and intelligence in about 10,000 locations across the United States.

* An estimated 854,000 people, nearly 1.5 times as many people as live in Washington, D.C., hold top-secret security clearances.

* In Washington and the surrounding area, 33 building complexes for top-secret intelligence work are under construction or have been built since September 2001. Together they occupy the equivalent of almost three Pentagons or 22 U.S. Capitol buildings – about 17 million square feet of space.

Just days after 9/11, a sort of blueprint began execution constructing over a thousand different organizations, located in over 10,000 different locations across the country, most of them top-secret.  There’s even some near where I live. Enormous budgets were and are being spent on this stuff.  Clandestine operations are going on all over the place, and I fear they’re not just spying on the terrorists overseas but on you and me as well.

In an Arlington County office building, the lobby directory doesn’t include the Air Force’s mysteriously named XOIWS unit, but there’s a big “Welcome!” sign in the hallway greeting visitors who know to step off the elevator on the third floor. In Elkridge, Md., a clandestine program hides in a tall concrete structure fitted with false windows to look like a normal office building. In Arnold, Mo., the location is across the street from a Target and a Home Depot. In St. Petersburg, Fla., it’s in a modest brick bungalow in a run-down business park.

….

As a Michaels craft store and a Books-A-Million give way to the military intelligence giants Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin, find the off-ramp and turn left. Those two shimmering-blue five-story ice cubes belong to the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, which analyzes images and mapping data of the Earth’s geography. A small sign obscured by a boxwood hedge says so.

Across the street, in the chocolate-brown blocks, is Carahsoft, an intelligence agency contractor specializing in mapping, speech analysis and data harvesting. Nearby is the government’s Underground Facility Analysis Center. It identifies overseas underground command centers associated with weapons of mass destruction and terrorist groups, and advises the military on how to destroy them.

You’re just minding your business, buying some screws and boards in Home Depot to repair your back deck, and just across the street is a clandestine military-type operation and you don’t even know it!  Underground there’s military bases running covert information gathering!

These places are locked down with the best security systems available.  These buildings aren’t located on maps.  If you get near them the men in black are all over you.  They may well gun you down.

Outside a gated subdivision of mansions in McLean, a line of cars idles every weekday morning as a new day in Top Secret America gets underway. The drivers wait patiently to turn left, then crawl up a hill and around a bend to a destination that is not on any public map and not announced by any street sign.

Liberty Crossing tries hard to hide from view. But in the winter, leafless trees can’t conceal a mountain of cement and windows the size of five Wal-Mart stores stacked on top of one another rising behind a grassy berm. One step too close without the right badge, and men in black jump out of nowhere, guns at the ready.

Past the armed guards and the hydraulic steel barriers, at least 1,700 federal employees and 1,200 private contractors work at Liberty Crossing, the nickname for the two headquarters of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and its National Counterterrorism Center. The two share a police force, a canine unit and thousands of parking spaces.

Liberty Crossing is at the center of the collection of U.S. government agencies and corporate contractors that mushroomed after the 2001 attacks. But it is not nearly the biggest, the most costly or even the most secretive part of the 9/11 enterprise.

….

Every day across the United States, 854,000 civil servants, military personnel and private contractors with top-secret security clearances are scanned into offices protected by electromagnetic locks, retinal cameras and fortified walls that eavesdropping equipment cannot penetrate

….

In all, at least 263 organizations have been created or reorganized as a response to 9/11. Each has required more people, and those people have required more administrative and logistic support: phone operators, secretaries, librarians, architects, carpenters, construction workers, air-conditioning mechanics and, because of where they work, even janitors with top-secret clearances.

….

It’s not only the number of buildings that suggests the size and cost of this expansion, it’s also what is inside: banks of television monitors. “Escort-required” badges. X-ray machines and lockers to store cellphones and pagers. Keypad door locks that open special rooms encased in metal or permanent dry wall, impenetrable to eavesdropping tools and protected by alarms and a security force capable of responding within 15 minutes. Every one of these buildings has at least one of these rooms, known as a SCIF, for sensitive compartmented information facility. Some are as small as a closet; others are four times the size of a football field.

From what everyone’s saying, most of our elected representatives aren’t even given clearance to half of this stuff.  That means we’re all in the dark as this shadow government conducts its operations, and they’re given billions and billions of dollars.  They can’t afford to pay for your healthcare, but they sure find money to spy on you and god knows what else.

At least 20 percent of the government organizations that exist to fend off terrorist threats were established or refashioned in the wake of 9/11. Many that existed before the attacks grew to historic proportions as the Bush administration and Congress gave agencies more money than they were capable of responsibly spending

….

The Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency, for example, has gone from 7,500 employees in 2002 to 16,500 today. The budget of the National Security Agency, which conducts electronic eavesdropping, doubled. Thirty-five FBI Joint Terrorism Task Forces became 106. It was phenomenal growth that began almost as soon as the Sept. 11 attacks ended.

Nine days after the attacks, Congress committed $40 billion beyond what was in the federal budget to fortify domestic defenses and to launch a global offensive against al-Qaeda. It followed that up with an additional $36.5 billion in 2002 and $44 billion in 2003. That was only a beginning.

Supposedly they’re gathering intelligence on Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan.  You want to know why I don’t believe that?  They couldn’t stop the underwear bomber whose father literally called them up warning he’s an extremist.  His father! Then they don’t even deter the man from getting on the plane; but they make sure submit all of us to x-ray scans before getting on our flights!

But improvements have been overtaken by volume at the ODNI, as the increased flow of intelligence data overwhelms the system’s ability to analyze and use it. Every day, collection systems at the National Security Agency intercept and store 1.7 billion e-mails, phone calls and other types of communications. The NSA sorts a fraction of those into 70 separate databases. The same problem bedevils every other intelligence agency, none of which have enough analysts and translators for all this work.

….

Among the most important people inside the SCIFs are the low-paid employees carrying their lunches to work to save money. They are the analysts, the 20- and 30-year-olds making $41,000 to $65,000 a year, whose job is at the core of everything Top Secret America tries to do.

At its best, analysis melds cultural understanding with snippets of conversations, coded dialogue, anonymous tips, even scraps of trash, turning them into clues that lead to individuals and groups trying to harm the United States.

What was really suspicious is how half of the analysts who are supposedly gathering all this intelligence in the Middle East can’t even speak the languages over there.

That cries out to be investigated.  I feel there’s a serious threat looming on the horizon.  If the government were to begin recording all our cell phone conversations, monitoring our emails, analyzing our text messages, and intercepting our IM conversations, our personal liberty would greatly be a stake.  Who knows, maybe they’re doing so already.  How would we know?  What I do is know is the Patriot Act tells ISPs to send the government everything we’re doing online if they request it.  They may well be requesting it all without us knowing, logging it all away.

If all of this isn’t going on now, the threat that it could potentially happen is something we need to think about and prepare for.  I fear they will be doing all this before too long if we don’t stop them.

There’s all this talk about “cyber-warfare”.  I think that amounts to them suppressing and controlling the information found on the internet.  Apparently it’s the “hot and sexy” thing to work on these days in the CIA.

And all the major intelligence agencies and at least two major military commands claim a major role in cyber-warfare, the newest and least-defined frontier.

“Frankly, it hasn’t been brought together in a unified approach,” CIA Director Panetta said of the many agencies now involved in cyber-warfare.

“Cyber is tremendously difficult” to coordinate, said Benjamin A. Powell, who served as general counsel for three directors of national intelligence until he left the government last year. “Sometimes there was an unfortunate attitude of bring your knives, your guns, your fists and be fully prepared to defend your turf.” Why? “Because it’s funded, it’s hot and it’s sexy.”

And just like any nefarious operation, it all operates on a “need to know” basis.  Even four star generals are often kept out of the loop.  It’s all fractured, people only knowing what pertains to them and their operation, not understanding the big picture.

One military officer involved in one such program said he was ordered to sign a document prohibiting him from disclosing it to his four-star commander, with whom he worked closely every day, because the commander was not authorized to know about it. Another senior defense official recalls the day he tried to find out about a program in his budget, only to be rebuffed by a peer. “What do you mean you can’t tell me? I pay for the program,” he recalled saying in a heated exchange.

Am I just being paranoid?  Maybe.  But I’m thinking we need to get a lot more paranoid.  This smells a lot like the beginnings of a police state to me.  I don’t like it one bit. If the economy goes sour and we sink into a major depression, people start rioting and protesting, and all of this stuff ramps up in intensity… I don’t like it at all.

Beef:

Pork and Bacon:

Chicken:

This is why we have to eat organic food, or even better, become vegetarians.  If you eat the normal beef, chicken, and pork found in your supermarket, you’re guilty of supporting this cruel and terrible industry.  Sad thing is, without these cruel techniques a significant portion of our population would starve.  Food prices would go way up and most couldn’t afford them.  As David Attenborough said at the end of his Life Of Mammals series, it’s time for us to control our population to save the environment.  The more humans we hatch out, the more this sort of thing will go on.

If we continue business as usual, the only species which will survive are our pets and these domesticated farm animals who endure this harsh and terrible treatment.  Natural habitats are being ravaged and destroyed all to make room for farms like these and to build us more homes.

I had to turn my head when they jammed that blade into the animals’ necks as they hung there then suffocated on their own blood.  I can’t imagine what that feels like.  Then that pig fell to the ground squirming around, bleeding to death.  At the start of the first film you see that cow being castrated, no pain killers, just whacking off its testicles.  It’s trapped in those bars writhing in pain.

It’s so strange that we have animal cruelty laws regarding our pets, such as dogs and cats, but then treatment such as this is completely ignored and brushed away.  This is far worse than anything most dogs and cats endure.  Thing is, there’s money in beef, pork, and chicken sales.  Since that’s the case, this sort of thing is ignored.

Just watch the films.  They’re so gruesome I don’t even want to talk about them.

When I study neuroscience, it’s amazing that you find the same sorts of brain structures in animals as we have in humans.  In us, our outer 6 mm of neo-cortex is where consciousness resides.  It’s where we see, feel, taste, smell, and so on.  Read my introduction to the subject here.  Those pigs and cattle have the same structures.  I’m not sure about chickens as I’ve never examined their brains. I assume they have some of them as well.  When you’re jamming that blade in their necks, there’s consciousness residing in those animals.   They’re just as alive as us humans.  There’s a living being there, suffering and in pain.

Animals are just as alive as we are.  It’s only our mistaken beliefs, many originating in our superstitious religious systems, that disconnect us from the true nature of life.  We can’t allow this sort of treatment to continue.  This is just as important an issue as torture and human rights.  These are crimes against life itself.

These cows are unable to move freely, stuck in metal cages.  Giant hoses spray their little concrete cages to clean out the manure.  Disease can be rampant as there’s so many animals unnaturally crammed so close together.  These animals have to be pumped with all kinds of antibiotics just to be able to live in these conditions.  All the manure is shipped off to waste lagoons which are disease breeding grounds.  Millions and millions of flies gather breeding in the nastiness.

These cows produce 23x the waste of a human being.  Combined, the amount of waste involved in one mega-farm is equivalent to that of a city with 186,000+ people.  Yet, unlike a city where the waste is treated in sewage plants, this waste is just thrown out onto the countryside as fertilizer.

Soil tests around the mega-farms surrounding area show dense concentrations of e. coli, salmonella, listeria, cryptosporidium, and other pathogens, all of which are disease causing pathogens.

And you want to know how they kill these cows?  They herd them up in a line and then lead them into this room with a swinging iron bar, which is sort of like a pendulum.  Then they bash the cow’s head against the wall, crushing its skull and splattering its brains all over the wall.  It saves them the cost of a bullet.

Cows aren’t the only animals treated this way.  Chickens and pigs are subjected to similar treatment.

Families who live near these places complain about the hydrogen sulphide, which is a gas given off by these places.  It causes nausea, neurological damage, and unbearable odor.  You’ll hear stories about families where the children keep getting sick and they visit the doctor.  The doctor then tells them they need to move because the child’s immune system can’t handle living near the mega-farm.  When these farms move in, everyone who lives in the area tries to move off as the air becomes unbreatheable, but they’re never able to sell their homes.

But you want to know the bigger problem?  There’s too many people on this planet.  Where do you think all those Hardees cheeseburgers and McDonald’s chicken nuggets come from?  This is where all that cheap meat and chicken comes from.  Hardly anyone buys organic food, so where does the non-organic stuff come from?  The majority of it comes from mega-farms. We couldn’t even support our population without using these cruel and terrible techniques.

And you know what’s so ironic?  I’ve planned never to have children because I feel ethically convicted about the Earth’s over-population.  But, I was with family over the fourth of July holiday and I was talking with some family friends and relatives.  One guy was talking about a distant nephew of his who has seven children.  SEVEN.

Sometimes I just want to throw my hands up in the air and just yell out, “Whatever…” and walk off.   Honestly, I feel like I’m living in that movie Idiocracy.

I spent today watching a series of lectures on the physics of the impossible.  Some of the lectures were on chaos theory and talked about how difficult it is to predict the future.  Even in a deterministic universe, just small degree of imprecision in starting condition measurements can lead to major inaccuracies in distant predictions.  Predicting the future becomes impossible because we can never measure our starting conditions with infinite accuracy.  You get things like the infamous ‘butterfly effect’, where a butterfly flaps its wings in a jungle somewhere in Brazil, which eventually leads to tornadoes in Texas.  Other lectures were on quantum mechanical effects experienced at absolute zero.  Another lecture was on statistical mechanics and the extraction of energy from heat engines and reflections on whether it’s possible to beat the efficiency of a Carnot engine.

Then I go out for a walk to exercise and listen to economics lectures and history.  Then I come back inside and study some Cosmology.  I feel connected and one with the universe, reflecting on it all.  The problems of this world become clearer and clearer to me each day, even though I still have a lot to learn.

Then I start to get too tired to study further.  I open up Firefox and start reading the news, or looking around YouTube or go out shopping.  Everything around me is mindless.  When you go to the store, whether it be the books or the magazines or the newspapers… it’s all dumbed down for people with an IQ of 20.

This world is absolutely insane.  People are blowing each other up over religious superstition.  They’re watching UFC fights on their television for entertainment.  They listen to mindless propaganda, hatred and racism from the mainstream media.  They go to the movies and it’s all violence and blowing things up.

Our culture is just depraved and empty and no matter how hard I try I can’t escape it.  I’ll be in the waiting room someplace for an appointment, or out buying groceries and I hear music like this:

Shawty had them apple bottom jeans (jeans)
Boots with the fur (with the fur)
The whole club was looking at her
She hit the floor (she hit the floor)
Next thing you know
Shawty got low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low
Them baggy sweat pants
And the Reebok’s with the straps (with the straps)
She turned around and gave that big booty a smack (hey)
She hit the floor (she hit the floor)
Next thing you know
Shawty got low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low

I ain’t never seen something that’ll make me go
This crazy all night spending my doe
Had the million dollar vibe and a body to go
Them birthday cakes they stole the show
So sexual
She was flexible professional
Drinking X&O
Hold up, wait a minute, do I see what I think? Whoa

….

- FLO Rida feat T-Pain, Low

I feel like a prude, but man, this music belongs in a dumpster somewhere and doesn’t need to be polluting young people’s ears.  It certainly doesn’t belong in waiting rooms.  Whatever happened to say John Lennon’s Stand By Me, or Fat Domino’s Blueberry Hill.  What happened to popular music?  It’s degenerated into mindless trash.  Just compare that video to popular music not too long ago.

When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we see
No I won’t be afraid
No I won’t be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darling, darling stand by me
Oh, now, now, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me

…

John Lennon, Stand By Me

I found my thrill
On Blueberry Hill
On Blueberry Hill
When I found you

The moon stood still
On Blueberry Hill
And lingered until
My dream came true

The wind in the willow played
Love’s sweet melody
But all of those vows you made
Were never to be

Though we’re apart
You’re part of me still
For you were my thrill
On Blueberry Hill

- Fats Domino, Blueberry Hill

The last movie I watched, just to try to stay somewhat in touch with society, was Iron Man.  It was terrible, especially compared to a much better film like H.G. Wells The Time Machine, the 1960 adaptation.  Iron Man is mindless action, no thought, and all special effects.  The Time Machine delves deep into the problems mankind faces.

In The Time Machine, similar to Iron Man, the story focuses around a brilliant inventor.  Unlike Iron Man however, where Tony Stark is an egotistical idiot, the main character of The Time Machine is a concerned scientist disgusted with war and the age in which he lives.  The government is trying to enlist him to create weapons and he just wants to live in a world where humanity lives in peace and harmony.  So he plans to build himself a time machine and warp out of there.  He then warps himself 20 years into the future, to 1920.  There’s more wars and destruction.  He then warps to 1960.  He finds atom bombs and wars.  So he keeps warping further and further into the future, hoping to escape humanity’s madness.  Eventually he ends up in the year 800,000 AD.  I won’t ruin the plot.  You’ll have to watch it for yourself.

And I can see people now, “Oh Jason, you just don’t know how to have a good time…”  No.  Humanity is messed up in the head.  I’m not the one messed up.  I entertain myself peacefully, reflecting on quantum mechanics, thinking about time travel, wormholes, the origins of the universe, and other meaningful things.  I hope to help contribute toward research in clean energy and superconductors.  I don’t watch violent films and don’t think about violent things.  You shouldn’t either.  There’s better ways to entertain yourself that don’t require violence.

I did see one film which had a good theme behind it – Avatar.  It was pretty good.  I just saw it the other day.  It actually somewhat reflected on the things modern neuroscience is pointing to.  I think nervous systems of animals can be linked together, just like in that film.

I really get depressed thinking on all of this.  I’ve had a lot of ambitions in my life, wanting to accomplish this and that, but nowadays my primary concern is advancing science and just helping bring awareness of the dangers we face in the future.  These mega-farms just being one of many things we need to change, not to mention a restoration of decency and basic morality.

We must disarm nuclear missiles.  We have to stop using these pesticides on our crops.  We can’t keep using these antibiotics and other chemicals which we’re pumping into our livestock.  CO2 emissions have to cut back dramatically or we’ll be facing massive crop failures with climate change.  We have to stop deforestation of the Earth, and stop burning coal, which acidifies the oceans killing the plankton.  Well, that’s not the only thing killing the plankton.  They also face increased UV exposure with decreased ozone and oil spills.  Without the greenery, the trees and the plankton we all suffocate.  Keep that in mind guys.

We have all heard the myth that we humans use only 10% of our brains.  Indeed, it is apparent that not only have many people heard it but they believe it.  Psychologist Barry Beyerstein (1999) has spent many years researching the origins of this mistaken idea.  Although he cannot pinpoint its origins with precision, he has shown that it has been around for quite some time.  One of the first groups that latched onto and spread the myth was the early self-improvement (“positive thinking”) industry.  For example, a 1929 advertisement states that “scientists and psychologists tell us that we use only about TEN PERCENT of our brain power” and that by enrolling in the course being advertised, a person might tap some of that brain that is not being used.  The advertisement uses the 10% figure as though it were common knowledge.  This indicates that the origins of the myth must date to significantly earlier than 1929.  Although Beyerstein has tried to identify the “scientists and psychologists” who may have said something like this, he has so far failed to find any specific reference to it in the literature.

Even if the 10% figure came from a scientist working at the turn of the twentieth century, the state of the art of neuroscience was not particularly advanced at that time.  Most people would agree that any sweeping scientific pronouncement, based on little empirical research, is eventually due for some reconsideration.  Indeed, there is plenty of evidence from neurology and psychology that the 10% figure is wholly untenable; it is basically neuro-nonsense.

One of the most compelling arguments against the 10% myth comes from the perspective of energy and evolution.  The brain uses a lot of energy.  In humans, it accounts for about 2% of the body mass but uses about 10-20% of the total energy and oxygen consumed by the body.  It is an “expensive tissue” (Aiello and Wheeler, 1995).  The brain cannot store significant energy reserves, and is extremely vulnerable if the oxygen supply is cut off.

From an evolutionary standpoint, maintaining such an expensive organ only to use 10% of it does not make any sense.  When you consider that there are other costs associated with large brain size (such as birth difficulties; see Chapter 17), if we used only 10% of the brain, there would have been substantial fitness benefits in reducing the brain to a more efficient and less costly size.  This did not happen, of course, as brain expansion has characterized evolution in genus Homo.

Leslie Aiello and Peter Wheeler point out that the brain is not the only expensive tissue in the body.  The heart, kidney, liver, and gastrointestinal tract consume at least as much energy as the brain.  Human bodies use energy at about the rate that would be expected of a mammal our size.  Given that our brains are much larger than would be expected for a mammal our size, how do we maintain the expected energy consumption rate?  Aiello and Wheeler argue that a tradeoff with one of the other expensive tissues has occurred.  Specifically, at the same time as the brain has increased in size in human evolution, it appears that the stomach and intestines have decreased in size.  These size reductions presumably have been accompanied by a reduction in energy use.  The smaller gastrointestinal tract also indicates a reliance on higher-quality, easier-to-digest foods (such as meat).

The complex relationship between behavior, brain size, diet, and gut size is one of the most fascinating problems in the study of human evolution.  Although it is tempting to see brain size and gut size as engaged in a neat tradeoff, the situation probably was a bit more complex than that.  Nonetheless, Aiello and Wheeler make clear that we have to pay for what we have:  a large, energy-hungry brain.  And a brain that wastes 90% of its volume could never have evolved.

This next image cracks me up.

When did NASA say that discovering extraterrestrial civilizations is unlikely?  Even elementary astronomy textbooks talk about the Drake equation.  What about the giant dishes we have listening for radio signals emitted by other civilizations?  And how do we account for this strange plaque held here by Carl Sagan, who worked for NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory?  Wasn’t this mounted on Pioneer 10?

But don’t look too much into the facts, you’ll spoil all the fun!  I’d love to attend one of these space camps.  It’d be totally epic to sleep in the mountains in a tent like this…

And while we’re up in the mountains, I’ll invite a cute conspiracy girl over to my tent and we’ll talk all night about the Catholic Nazis and Project Bluebeam!

But what is Project GLADDIO?  Normally I’m pretty up on my conspiracy knowledge as I’ve been getting emails like these for years, but Project GLADDIO is brand new to me.  What is it?  I’m not sure exactly, but maybe the text from the email will help shed a little light on it:

Who Controls the Vatican?
Philip discusses how money was funnelled from Vatican accounts to Bosnia – a place where children in trance were supposedly channeling the spirit of the virgin Mary – Philip explains how former President Clinton made US Military forces available for the bombing of mosques and homes owned by Muslims – and also reveals that Project Gladdio STAY-BEHIND networks were armed and funded by the British and American intelligence services after the end of World War II… Many of the caches of weapons, gold and cash were eventually used by ultra-right-wing Catholic factions who went on to stage many FALSE FLAG terrorist plots…

Philip and Chris discuss the MASONIC INFILTRATION of the Vatican Hierachy and the mysterious P2 “Propaganda Due” masonic lodge whose members are powerful industrialists – who have a covert agenda to usurp demoncracy in Italy and the world in general… Plus the strange case of the Belgian Detroux Affair – which seemingly involves high ranking members of the European noble houses with pedophilia.

Still confused?  Well apparently the Pope, after sexually abusing poor innocent children, slips them into a sort of trance where they summon the power of the virgin Mary, which is then channeled into a laser beam used by the U.S. government as a secret weapon against the Muslims.  Then they go and take all their gold and this money is used to covertly fund more evil terrorist activities.

Get all that?

I hope me and my new girlfriend aren’t interrupted by this guy, “What’s my face doing on your tent?”

But there wouldn’t be any need to worry, because we’ll be among friends.  The alien would have beamed down from his saucer to tell me about the space serpents, who entangle themselves in our brains, and coerce us into doing things we don’t want to do.  He’ll tell us that the only way to purify ourselves of them is to use L. Ron Hubbard’s Dianetics in conjunction with the Church of Scientology’s OT programs to lift our consciousness out of its current quagmire.

What is ORFEUS?
King of the Underworld? Not quite – the ORFEUS-SPAS II satellite is a free flying telescope which is taken up into space inside the payload bay of the Space Shuttle. ORFEUS is designed to analyze the gas signatures of stars outside our own galaxy. It uses Ultra-Violet telescopes to peer into the deepest depths of the universe – revealing very distant objects and showing details which are invisible to the naked eye…

When pointed at the earth’s atmosphere – to every Astronaut’s amazement onboard the Space Shuttle – ORFEUS reveals a cacophony of dozens of unknown objects – some flying at 18,000+ miles per hour – and some santering and wandering around in the upper atmosphere of Planet Earth – some of these objects are small – some are several hundred meters wide… They appear and disappear at will…

We also present the first HD high definition 3D model of the DARK SIDE OF THE MOON – that is, the side of the moon which we never see from Earth…

LITTLE GREEN MEN will continue with several TV specials in the coming weeks – including footage from around the world showing ‘space serpents’, the ‘crown of crowns’ UFOs, cigar shaped UFOs in Russia and Germany and a Special Report on the APOLLO 11 post-flight press conference, featuring Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and Buzz Aldrin.

But there is a temporary way reach stages of higher consciousness — mushrooms!  But not just any mushroom…

ESP, The Sacred Mushroom and the Big Kahuna:
A film from the archives of Professor Andrija Puharich which recounts a 1960 research trip to Mexico with a Kahuna chief from Hawaii.  The Brujujo Mexican elder who gives hallucinogenic mushrooms to the party of scientists correctly diagnoses a heart problem experienced by one of the party and even correctly identifies an event in the childhood of one of the other explorers – information which he simply could not have known beforehand.  ESP and telepathy are enhanced by the ingestion of sacred mushrooms – and this research trip inspired Doctor Puharich to research the psychic abilities of many people around the world – most notably URI GELLER.  This fascinating piece of archive footage actually proves that ESP abilities are enhanced after eating certain strains of Mexican mushroom.  In fact, there has never been a programme broadcast since which so conclusively proves that ESP and psychic abilities are improved by hallucinogenic mushrooms.  The programme uses stroboscopic lights to enhance the internal ‘minds eye’ ability to perceive different levels of colour information.  One of the research subjects manages to identify a photograph of a desert cactus by just placing his hand on a photo whilst being blindfolded.  This film was broadcast 50 years ago and is still remarkable.

This space camp sounds totally awesome.  First we get stoned on mushrooms, then we have strobe-lights flashing in all sorts of colors and we start to see each other’s pasts.

And who would’ve thought that the pyramids were built by a race of giants!

GIANTS of the Ancient World:
The dinosaur era is still posing some perplexing and very amazing finds for archaeologists – new discoveries in south east India see a giant fossilised creature washed up following the recent asian tsunami. This report also includes photos from Baalbek in the Lebanon – did GIANTS create the ancient megalithic temples of the ancient world? View the slide show and make up your own mind.

Professor Puharich, The Philadelphia Experiment and Resonant Frequency of the Great Pyramid:
In this lecture from Professor Puharich’s archives, we see him discuss the TESLA technologies which saw an entire battleship disappear from sight… And the 7.82Hz resonant frequency of the Great Pyramid. Professor Puharich also discusses his tenure at Stanford University, where he researched the psychic abilities of URI GELLER.

And no conspiracy theory is complete without Satan worship and witches!

And yes, Hitler was a Crusty!  Don’t tell me you’re unaware of the Crusties?  You’re hopeless, I swear!

“Studies of the genetics of human and other populations have generally concluded that despite our long-standing belief that inbreeding, or reproduction between close kin, is always bad for the health of a population, very limited amounts of gene flow can eliminate the harmful effects of inbreeding.  A study of rhesus macaque monkeys conducted in the mountains of Pakistan showed only limited migration between breeding groups.  Nonetheless, very limited gene flow from males who immigrated to the valley where the study was conducted were enough to maintain high levels of genetic diversity (Melnic and Hoelzer, 1996).  Studies such as this do not imply that inbreeding is normal and healthy, only that a low level of immigration apparently can offset its harmful effects in a population.”

This other video is about Obama being an absolute failure.  Which he is.

“To think I actually donated to Obama’s campaign.  Me, of all people.  I never volunteer for anything!  Now every day it’s some new broken promise … Putting bills online.   Public financing of campaigns, immediate withdrawal from Iraq, closing Guantanamo, negotiations on C-Span, no new taxes, no more lobbyists.  Obama… You lie.  Why does he still need every word fed to him through a teleprompter?  I can give a speech without notes, why can’t he?”

I think even more important than the points made in this video are the Wall Street bailouts.   Those total trillions and trillions of dollars, literally handing our money to crooks, who still have their jobs by the way, and are paying themselves huge bonuses!   Also we need to audit the Fed, and keep a closer eye on these bankers.  I’ve advocated regulation before here on my blog.  But to clarify, ideally I think a better system would be to end the Fed, implement sound money, backed by a gold standard to keep the government from printing money, end fractional reserve banking, and put banks back on their own.  Sure, I can hear you now, “Wouldn’t that slow down the flow of credit, and hamper economic growth?”  Maybe in an ideal world we can use Keynes’ ideas, but from what I see, our politicians are way too stupid to even understand economics to that degree.  To them, they think, “Oh?  Economic contraction?  That gives us a free license to spend spend spend, all we want!”  And Keynes is more subtle than that.  And even so, I still don’t agree with Keynes.  My views are much closer to the Austrian school. I think all that ends up happening is our politician’s buddies and the big corporations end up getting the money, with a small bit of “stimulus” funds making it into public hands.

I think government intervention tends to inflate bubbles, and make their contractions much more intense.  Without all the intervention the cycles would be far less dramatic.  Greenspan kept inflating homes up and up, trying to keep the contraction from hitting.   For some reason contractions are viewed as this demonic force.  I don’t get that at all.

If everyone in the country is out of debt and living off their paychecks, then all of the sudden the banks issue everyone credit cards, you will inevitably have a boom, then a contraction.  You’ll have a boom when they run up their debts spending borrowed money.  This will lead to companies making huge profits and jobs galore.  But if you issue too much debt, people get buried in them and the interest payments, especially when it’s 30% like on credit cards.  That all starts to eat away at consumptive spending, leading to a contraction.  The money stops flowing to businesses, and flows to the banks instead.   Once the credit cards hit maximum, and people have no more to borrow, they have to start making payments.

So if you issue too much debt, too fast, you get a contraction.  That’s one of our main problems.  Too much debt.  So Greenspan had find ways to artificially make more debt available.  So he inflates home prices way beyond what they need to be by screwing with interest rates and the housing market.  Then people borrow more loans, and spend this fake equity in the economy.  The banks get the money to lend through the Fed.  But, at the same time, this leads to people getting further buried in debt, exacerbating the problem, and making it worse.  That’s what it means to “inflate the bubble.”  It’s not a real fix, but a temporary band-aid, sweeping the real problem under the rug.

Is that the only problem?  No.  We have trade deficits.  Everything in our stores has a “Made In China” label on the back. Our borders aren’t secure.  People are collecting entitlements and aren’t paying into the system.  Our industrial base has eroded, and jobs are outsourcing overseas, making it even harder for people to pay back their loans.  There’s so many other things as well.

When Obama prints money he discourages private investment.  There is no private investment anymore because of all that’s going on in Washington and the Fed.  All investment is coming from the government, and they’re basically just throwing money around, mostly to their buddies.  The more money they print, the more this will erode private capital from flowing into the country and creating new jobs.

From what I see, the more they intervene, the more they’re probably going to have to intervene to keep it all going.  Print money here, buy up GM, GM’s crappily managed… Print more money to keep it going.   It’s so ironic.  Cheap credit made GM go under, and now the same force — money being created out of thin air, is keeping it going.  It’s so terrible.

All of these things are caused because they don’t have a true free market, and this Fed/Washington intervention.  It’d be better to let the free market handle interest rates, and leave banks on their own, without the “lender of last resort.”

Also, the banks have proven themselves to be not only crooks, but untrustworthy in every sense.  They’ve loaned way too much money to the public in credit cards, and home loans, and are guilty all kinds of market manipulation and housing bubbles — all for their short term gains.  So I say go back to how the founding fathers intended – gold and silver being our currency, being issues by Congress, not some private banking cartel with absolutely no oversight.   Let the invisible hand smash those bastards the second they start scheming. But we can’t have that.. “Too big to fail.”  Whatever.

You can’t print gold.  Can’t print silver.  Can’t create gold by some log entry in the accounting books.  Gold is gold.  That’s why our founding fathers, like Thomas Jefferson, intended our country to work that way.  You can’t live free without a currency which is secure.  Which keeps its value.  The Fed claims to stave off inflation, but I agree with Murray Rothbard — they are the real force behind inflation.  Their intervention in the money supply is the primary factor behind inflation.

People who believe a lack of regulation is what got us into this mess are completely wrong.  We have a mix of government intervention, and free market.   We have a banking system where banks can loan out money, and then fall on the Fed when they get in trouble.  That’s the REAL problem.  Crooked politics has made them bloated, and the same Fed keeps them afloat when they scheme, and run wild.

A lot of people wonder how a person who just filed bankruptcy starts getting credit card offers just six months later.  Why would a banker lend them money, when they KNOW they won’t get it back?  That’s because of this fractional reserve system.  They can loan out more money than they have in their reserves, and if they’re ever called on it, the Fed (this quasi-government entity with no oversight – owned and controlled by a private cartel of banking elites) bails them out.

They get money dirt cheap from the Fed (and all the Fed does is print it, or create it out of thin air on the computer), then lend it to you at 30% interest.  They keep the difference.  And even with people defaulting on their cards and loans, they still make money, because of the insane interest rates.  It’s so crooked it’s beyond belief.

You see, George Bush deregulated some things, but not others.  He removed regulations which prevented the cronies on Wall Street to do whatever they wanted, but kept the safety nets.   Reagan may have claimed to follow Adam Smith’s policies, but how can you say we have a free market when we have organizations like the Federal Reserve?  He never touched that.  And Clinton removed Glass-Steagall.  And Obama bails out Wall Street and passes no reforms.   They all work for Wall Street.

The biggest problem is fractional reserve banking.  The banks may have $1,000,000 of their own money, then $10,000,000 issued out in loans.  The $9,000,000 is all cooked up in the books, and if they’re called on it, the Fed just creates the money out of thin air, and hands them whatever they need for super low interest rates.   These days the money is pretty much free.  “Lend banks, lend!  We need more lending!”   That’s the problem!  Too much debt and lending.  Credit’s too easy.  It’s destroying everything.

But I can’t see people becoming informed enough about the system to realize what’s going on.  Banking and money isn’t exciting.  There’s no celebrities posing in bikinis talking about synthetic CDOs, credit default swaps, and fractional reserve banking.  They’ll continue to cling to slogans like, “Lack of regulation got us into this mess!”  A lot more complicated than that!  So, since people will never study economics and banking, I can’t put much faith in the real problems being fixed.  The banking elite and the fortune 500 would never let the Fed go down without a fight.  Bankers make a fortune in this system, and the big corporations like the cheap credit to expand their empires.  The Ron Paul, Alan Grayson “Audit The Fed” bill had some momentum there for a while, but everyone seems to have forgotten about it.  And Sen. Dodd has been trying to get a much worse financial regulation bill through which “has no teeth.”  An easier fix, for the time being, would be to at least regulate the CDS and CDO markets, and audit the Fed.

Pisses me off.  Our system amounts to socialized losses, and privatized gains.  That’s what’s ridiculous.  Regulation will ultimately fail though, I think.  The regulations will always be one step behind, and there will be loopholes.   And we’ve seen how ineffective our politicians are.  Like they’re going to stay on top of the banking system.

But next to Wall Street and banking reform, the second on my list would be the wars, which we can’t afford, and are not justified.  They’re costing us trillions, and for what?  That money needs to be spend here at home, rebuilding our infrastructure, and sending kids to school, and paying for healthcare, and paying off our bills.  In third place I’d put the trampling of the bill of rights, and Obama’s renewal of the Patriot Act, which is police state legislation which needs to be abolished immediately.  Along those same lines we need to close Gitmo, and get rid of this RIDICULOUS airport security.  Those nude scanners have to go.  They’ve went WAYYYYY too far.  Healthcare would be next.  We’re spending at least twice as much as we should be, and people are losing their coverage everyday because they can’t afford the costs, which are mushrooming.  Then the reform bill, which wasn’t great, but at least had SOME fixes… it may well die.  But overall, just like Bill Maher said, this healthcare bill is a blow-job to Big Pharma and the insurance companies.

I can’t stand politics.  Lies lies and more lies.  If I didn’t have my physics studies, I’d go insane.  I find myself searching for some method to utilize quantum physics to warp myself out of here.

Between 1997 and 2006 a think-tank existed called “Project For A New American Century” or PNAC for short. Some prominent members of the group included:  Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, and Dick Cheney, not to mention many other “high-ups” with big political influence.  They wrote up a document called “Rebuilding Americas Defenses.”   The document was all about their agenda to keep American dominance throughout the world.   You can read about it here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_for_the_New_American_Century

In this document they tell how Saddam Hussein was a threat who needed to be removed at all cost.   Within its statement of principles you find this:

[What we require is] a military that is strong and ready to meet both present and future challenges; a foreign policy that boldly and purposefully promotes American principles abroad; and national leadership that accepts the United States’ global responsibilities. Of course, the United States must be prudent in how it exercises its power. But we cannot safely avoid the responsibilities of global leadership of the costs that are associated with its exercise. America has a vital role in maintaining peace and security in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. If we shirk our responsibilities, we invite challenges to our fundamental interests. The history of the 20th century should have taught us that it is important to shape circumstances before crises emerge, and to meet threats before they become dire. The history of the past century should have taught us to embrace the cause of American leadership.

Next in the Preface you find this:

ESTABLISH FOUR CORE MISSIONS for the U.S. military:

• defend the American homeland;
• fight and decisively win multiple, simultaneous major theater wars;
• perform the “constabulary” duties associated with shaping the security environment in critical regions;

transform U.S. forces to exploit the “revolution in military affairs”;

Just listen to that. “fight and decisively win multiple, simultaneous theater wars.”  It’s incredible, though not really surprising, to hear that Dick Cheney was involved in writing a document like this.   Theater wars.  *Sighs*  It continues:

To carry out these core missions, we need to provide sufficient force and budgetary allocations. In particular, the United States must:
MAINTAIN NUCLEAR STRATEGIC SUPERIORITY, basing the U.S. deterrent upon a global, nuclear net assessment that weighs the full range of current and emerging threats, not merely the U.S.-Russia balance.
RESTORE THE PERSONNEL STRENGTH of today’s force to roughly the levels anticipated in the “Base Force” outlined by the Bush Administration, an increase in active-duty strength from 1.4 million to 1.6 million.
REPOSITION U.S. FORCES to respond to 21st century strategic realities by shifting permanently-based forces to Southeast Europe and Southeast Asia, and by changing naval deployment patterns to reflect growing U.S. strategic concerns in East Asia. (iv)

Later they go on to emphasize details in military spending and projects, such as the F-22 stealth fighter, naval ships, and other things.  They also stress that military budgets must increase every year by like 3% of GDP.

To continue, if you’re wondering what’s going on with these Afghanistan, Iraq, and (my guess) soon to be Iran wars, this same document states: (quoting from Wikipedia)

In relation to the Persian Gulf, citing particularly Iraq and Iran, Rebuilding America’s Defenses states that “while the unresolved conflict in Iraq provides the immediate justification [for U.S. military presence], the need for a substantial American force presence in the [Persian] Gulf transcends the issue of the regime of Saddam Hussein” and “Over the long term, Iran may well prove as large a threat to U.S. interests in the [Persian] Gulf as Iraq has. And even should U.S.-Iranian relations improve, retaining forward-based forces in the region would still be an essential element in U.S. security strategy given the longstanding American interests in the region.“

What those “American interests in the region” are, I have no clue.  But it seems to me that the news is at work to prepare us for an Iranian invasion.  Here’s just a few clips:

The PNAC document also talks about setting up missile defense shields in Europe.

Considering that these guys were running things under George Bush’s administration, and nothing has really changed under Obama, I’m guessing this this agenda is still being carried out.   Former President Jimmy Carter had this to say about PNAC:

At first, argues Carter, Bush responded to the challenge of September 11 in an effective and intelligent way, “but in the meantime a group of conservatives worked to get approval for their long held ambitions under the mantle of ‘the war on terror’.” The restrictions on civil rights in the US and at Guantanamo, cancellation of international accords, “contempt for the rest of the world”, and finally an attack on Iraq “although there is no threat to the US from Baghdad” – all these things will have devastating consequences, according to Carter. “This entire unilateralism”, warns the ex-President, “will increasingly isolate the US from those nations that we need in order to do battle with terrorism.

Section V of Rebuilding America’s Defenses, entitled “Creating Tomorrow’s Dominant Force” says this:

“Further, the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event––like a new Pearl Harbor”

Conspiracy theorists say the 9/11 attacks were an inside job by the Bush administration in order for these same guys behind PNAC to get in the middle east and fulfill this agenda.   *Shrugs*

I mean really, what can you say?  The guys running the government, right there on our TV screens every night, wrote a document outlining everything that has happened since Bush came into office, and now Obama is continuing these policies.  So, I’m guessing we’ll be in Iran soon, for some unknown strategic reason in relation to the American dominance agenda that is being played out.

I hope I’m wrong, but I really don’t thinks so.  My guess is I’ll wake up one morning, open the New York Times and there it will be on the front page – we’ll be invading Iran, and there’ll be some reason why we did so.   It’ll probably be weapons of mass destruction, similar to Iraq.

Here is a video clip from Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, reporting the event:

Keith Olbermann is claiming Fox News made up the entire “Climategate” affair.  Just a basic Google search, or inquiry into Wikipedia will tell you the emails are genuine.  Olbermann’s “attack” is just more of the “liberal” media attacking the “conservative” media, and creating the false left/right paradigm.  They get people fighting one another instead of truly looking into the issue and analyzing the information.  According to Wikipedia, all the emails which have leaked were confirmed to be genuine by the head director of the CRU.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climategate

But mainstream news is worthless.  I never watch it because they always seem to be pushing an agenda of some sort, or  attempting to create false conflicts between me and the man next door.  Science, by its empirical nature,  unites people in opinion.  If the data is firm, then the opinions are firm.  If the data is weak, then the opinions are weak.  This is how science operates.  The global warming debate is far from over, but mainstream news seems convinced they know the answer.  Fox News is certain it’s a hoax, and MSNBC seems certain that man-made global warming exists.

Here’s Olbermann’s clip:

What the “Climategate” emails mostly seem to show is honest discussion between colleagues, but their deletion and distortion of data is disturbing, to say the least.

I don’t think it’s going to be very long before technology begins to replace all aspects of the human body.  The other day I was out walking with my brother Rusty, and I was talking to him about how I foresee human beings eventually merging with technology.

I imagine that if we had a time machine, and warped a thousand years into the future — maybe possibly even a few hundred years — human beings would be vastly different than they are now.  I foresee microchips implanted into the brain, improving memory, and thinking power.  I think these chips will be capable of downloading information from a central computer, which contains all human knowledge.  Learning through books will become obsolete.

I think today learning through books is far too slow.  I read probably 8 hours a day, and even with all the reading I do, there’s simply far too much information for me to cover.  Even if I study every waking hour.  And even when I study subjects, if I don’t use the material, I forget a lot of the details.  It’s ridiculous.  If there was technology that made my memory photographic, and I could download information .. I’d be up for it in a second.

When technology reaches that stage, everyone will know everything.  There will be no such thing as specialties, or going to college, or school. Nobody will waste time relearning things others have already learned.  They’ll always be creating something new, and we’ll become creative beings, living in imagination and creating our dreams, and simply enjoying life, instead of toiling away, and rehashing ground someone else has already covered.  No more dull jobs, and doing tedious repetitive work.

It will probably become like Star Trek, where food is created from energy, and materialized on demand.  We’ll live to see how far we can go, and how much we can create and accomplish.  If we’re hungry, we’ll just browse a computer, select what we want, and then it just sort of appears in front of us.  Later, technology would eventually replace that, and we’d probably run on some sort of high tech energy source which disintegrates atoms into raw energy, which is used by a sort of “cyborg” body.  But I doubt the “cyborg” body will be junky and huge, heavy, and metallic.  I’m sure we’d still be able to eat and taste, but food would simply disintegrate when entering our “stomach”, and converted into pure energy.

We’d be nothing like “terminators”.  It wouldn’t be clunky.  The technology which enhances our bodies will be so advanced it’ll be far slicker and smaller than the sleekest cell phone.  I foresee everything being extensions to the human body, not replacements.  Skin would still be soft, and we’d be warm.  Thing is, we’d implant technology where we no longer need coats, or ever need to sweat.  Technology would regulate our body temperature.  We’d rid ourselves from dependence on oxygen, and could travel to any planet — even ones of extreme heat, and extreme cold.  We’d require no special suits.  We’d rid ourselves of the bacterias which produce bad breath and body odor.  We’d rid ourselves of sweating, and needing to take showers.

We’ll probably eventually rid ourselves of internal organs as we know them now.  Get rid of our heart, and probably replace it with something that never plugs up.  Lungs and breathing would go away.  We’d enter a world where diet doesn’t matter, and we never gain weight.  No such thing as diabetes, or heart attacks.  No shortness of breath.

I think with time they’ll implant small chips into our arms and legs which somehow nullify gravity, and can use energy to exert forces.  We’d be able to fly just by thinking, and it’d come just as natural as walking.  We could lift massive objects with little effort.

I think biologists will discover all the genes related to our violent instincts, and they’ll be genetically purged.  We’ll all be kind, peaceful people.

We’d probably wormhole our ways to wherever we wanted to go in our sections of the colonized universe.  Or maybe we’d hold a sort of device, similar to a cell phone, but which could warp us to new locations that we specify.

It’ll be a different world, for sure.  A lot of people these days are into the whole “2012″, “end of the world” thing.  It seems to me that 2012 is a roundabout number where human kind begins to experiment integrating with technology, and transcends “life” as we currently know it.  Maybe that is the sort of new age we’re entering.

Super high tech bodies which never age, never get sick, never get tired, and are extremely difficult to injure.  Sounds awesome to me.  I firmly believe we need to take control of our future.  So far, our bodies have been created almost randomly by evolution, but now it’s time for us to take our lives into our own hands.  I hope I get to see technology like this develop during my lifetime, and possibly even take part in creating things which enhance our lives.

I hear people oftentimes argue, “If technology did everything, what we do with ourselves?”   I think that’s a dumb question.  The universe is infinite and beyond anyone’s comprehension.  If you want to stay a “normal” human, and live your days struggling to survive, fighting off sickness, and working a mindless job on an assembly line, or mopping floors — go for it.  But as for me, and a lot of others, we want to know what’s out there, and explore this vast cosmos, and the parallel alternate realities which exist beside us.

People will have to slowly change the way they view reality.  If you spend your time studying physics, like I do, you’ll realize that how reality works right now is in no way how it has to work.  Most everything we hate can be cured through science.  And we can continually expand our possibilities and rid ourselves of most, if not all limitations.

The thing I don’t understand, however, is what becomes of “identity.”  I could imagine technology embedded into our skin, and we could literally have any skin color we want.  Maybe even with time, we’ll be able to have any body appearance we want using some sort of solid-holographic like technology.  Look like anyone or anything for that matter.  Your voice can sound like anything you want it to.

Really, that all comes down to how consciousness enters the physical body.  That, I don’t know.  That’s the real ringer.  I don’t know how intimate that relationship is.

I think what we’re coming to is an age where we see ourselves as one.  Identity will go away, I think.  Identity will be viewed as a sort of mask.  Like a costume and you’re playing a role in a play.  Life might well become like a video game, where you change your body based on what task or role you’re playing.   You can experience any life you want.  Possibly navigate parallel worlds and dimensions set up for various experiences.  Entire universes which are nothing more than vast amusement parks for our pleasure.  Today we change clothes based on the social function.  Later, maybe we’ll change entire bodies.

I think video games are simply primitive precursors to alternate realities we’ll be constructing in the universe.  There’ll be no distinction between fun and work.  Life will be simply about experiences and living.

I sometimes wonder if alien beings are so advanced that they live that sort of life already.  Sometimes I wonder if prior to being born I “chose” to live in this reality, and was born for the express purpose of changing how things work here.  When I do finally die, I go back to some infinite well of life, sort of like a spirit world, but which doesn’t resemble human existence whatsoever.  I also think the “Jason” life I’m living now can be lived an infinite number of times.  Death seems to me to be an illusion.

In physics energy is always conserved.  It never goes away.  And all matter is simply compressed energy.  So I don’t see why I couldn’t reform this same body I’m in now,  and reform this same exact universe, and live this same life again. If we understood that relationship between consciousness and matter well enough, it seems a logical possibility.

I think the sorts of questions I’m asking now will eventually be answered, possibly within a few generations.  Maybe I’m way off base, but really I don’t know.  I look forward to what the future brings.  I’m sure it’ll be beyond anything I’ve ever thought about — such as the human body being a sort of screen which can display things.  NEVER thought of that.  I’m sure there’ll be countless other things just like this, expanding possibilities of what we could do, if we wish it.
