is it just me, or have there been a lot of reports lately of 'large explosions' and 'bangs in the sky', and 'loud flashes of light in the distance', and pretty much they've all been meteorites?
There have been an increasing number of strikes over the past couple of years. Some, like this one, a half dozen instances back, are pretty darned significant. (Though, those ones suffer from a near total media black-out policy, while the smaller ones tend to get the typical, "Funny news, one in a billion, what WILL the insurance companies do, har har har! Go back to sleep, citizen" treatment). Those in power, however, are more or less aware and are preparing in their own ways. One theory suggests that the real reason behind the current world-wide military lock-down is not the 'Terrorism' bugaboo, but rather is to secure the population (and planet resources) for when things get really hairy. Look up Alternative '3' to get an idea. (Rather a cartoony distillation of the concept, but close enough to the real deal to be a relatively good primer on How Things Are.)
There appears to be a definite time-scale thingy going on here. Watch and listen. Almost everything of any significance going on in the world today is directly related to the sky falling tomorrow, so to speak. And most of it is reactionary, religion-based stupidity. We wouldn't have troops in Iraq, and Israel wouldn't be on a genocidal free-for-all if it wasn't for the 'Good' book. Ah, religion! Crack of the Masses.
Madsen, a Washington-based writer and columnist, who often writes for Counterpunch, says that people close to the pope claim that amid these concerns, the pontiff wishes he was younger and in better health to confront the possibility that Bush may represent the person prophesized in Revelations."
Though, don't fret. The big rocks aren't due to start whacking us for a little while yet. We'll probably get all the Harry Potter books out before. And thank goodness for that! (sic)
For some reason, I don't seem to mind creepy-looking 'realistic' humans in games. -Probably because I rarely, if ever, go into a game looking to suspend reality. --I recently played Max Payne and enjoyed the heck out of it, although it was dark as all get-out. I think I actually appreciated the fact that the characters were closer to clay pigeons than they were to people. When it comes to gunning down lots of 'bad guys' I'd just as soon be reminded regularly that it's all very, very fake. I think Max's ability to survive on pain killers despite being regularly hit with shotguns, etc., was sufficiently ridiculous and entirely welcome.
In film, however. ..
The whole idea is to 'unlink', so to speak, and merge your psyche with the story reality. That expression people get when listening to a good story-teller is evidence of this effect.
Creepy looking fake people makes for cruddy stories. Somehow, even the garbage bag aliens on Dr. Who were far easier to make-believe with, (probably because the special effects were so easy to see through), than some of today's high end computer animated stuff. Trying to be real but failing really knocks one out of the story reality. (Perhaps a handful of pain killers would help.)
"Emperor's New Groove" had no such pretensions, and it worked perfectly as a result.
Personal note: I felt very weird about, "Shrek", and so far as I can tell, I'm pretty much alone on this. --The whole thing looked like a computer game cut-scene and the messages about physical beauty seemed very weird. Short people are to be laughed at, the black guy is a donkey, (I wonder if the reference to the old southern term was unintentional. . ?), and I know several women who, barring the ears and green skin, look a lot like the female Troll.
Just seemed like a film to feel bad to. But I'm still processing that one.
Do you have an actual source for that? Without it it just sounds like the ravings of the tinfoil hat brigade.
Here's an article with numerous details. Further reading on your own will enable you to make a reasonably accurate measure as to Tin-Foil-Hat quotient on this bit of 'raving'.
As for arguments, I'm not even sure what the actual subject matter you're writing about even is.
The subject matter is the DARPA challenge. My general position is that participation in the DARPA challenge is tantamount to applying for service in the military industrial establishment. This, considering what the American military stands for in the world today, should call for some serious thinking and soul searching on the part of the applicant.
Dude, I think you watched "Conspiracy Theory" one to many times. Sheesh. PS if we don't have it, someone else will- and they'll be rolling in on you while you're watching 'Conspiracy Theory', and you'll be all like "WTF!"
I don't pattern my thinking after television programs and movies.
As a result, I am able to write sentences which people can understand. Dude.
Then please, for goodness sake, say it; don't mod into invisibility important matters of this sort. This is about life choices; do you want to work for the Bush empire while pretending that you are not facilitating genocide and societal slavery, or do you want to survive with your soul intact? This is pivotal stuff. Don't be fooled by the cheesy arguments, half-assed rationalizations and knee-jerk moderations. People are directly responsible for their actions and contributions to the world. Pretending that DARPA is just a presenting a fun challenge without any reason is INSANE. Are you the one sane person in the room filled with lunatics, or are you just another zombie doing as you are instructed? It takes a spine to survive this kind of test.
In any case, I'd love to hear a worthy argument which negates the actual subject matter I'm writing about. Modding this down to "Troll" is simple avoidance and cowardice. I dare you to really think about this. (Of course, I'm not directing my words to those of you who already get it; I don't mean to include you in my vent. But there are fools aplenty who are clearly shying away from this subject who ought to bloody well know better.)
Still, in the end this is fine. The moderators who are apparently too horrified by the smell of reality to actually function beyond the knee-jerk must have their say as well, so this will be my third and final attempt to be useful; I'll not bother again. --If the majority really don't want to think about relevant, (albeit unpleasant) ideas, then who am I to force otherwise? Free choice, and all. . . (Though, I still find it a large personal challenge to maintain respect for the cowardly.)
Anyway, I added a couple of new thoughts this time around. ..
I always wondered how they got people to sell their souls. ..
I mean, the pilots who flew for Air America fully knowing that they were transporting drugs for the CIA. --Or who fly the chemtrail planes. And those guys who designed Carnivore. And Echelon. And the bio-chemists who came up with SARS. (Don't kid yourself.) --Or who designed any number of those fancy weapons, drugs and what-have-you which the Secret Government loves so dearly.
I ask myself, "Who would be so daft? Who in their right mind would join forces with the Dark Side?"
Then I take one look at the responses to this story and remember why it's good to have planet-wide cleansings periodically.
This DARPA program exists for one reason alone; to find those prodigy geniuses (who have, by deliberate design, been mis-loved and abused by society for being clever so that they'll be more willing to sell out their fellow humans), and then lure them down the one-way path of secret military-industrial employment.
I know guys who are wired Rainman smart, who really can card count eight decks at the blackjack table without even trying. Math and physics are like Lego. --I tell people about some of the toys the military had available ten years ago and I am told that I am crazy despite my sources. Fine. Go build your robots for the local recruitment agency. If you're smart enough, you'll learn first hand about the halls of power. When you're noticed, you're in and you don't get out again.
How many 'accidental' deaths of bio-chemists since 9-11? Is it over 40 yet? (Yes) --Numerous of which, like Dr. David Kelly, who were working on genetic-specific weapons for the Isreali war machine. Interesting, no?
This is a re-posting (barely 30 minutes later!) because the original was modded into Troll-dust. Pathetic. There is nothing Trollish here; I'm just pointing out the elephant in the living room everybody is too frightened to look at directly. --That is; keep modding this into dust, and I'll keep re-posting. Because, when the post is meant in earnest, (ie, not a troll), then the number of Troll mods is directly proportional to the importance of the subject matter. Deal with it.

How many 'accidental' deaths of bio-chemists in the last three years? Is it over 40 yet?

I'm afraid that's not going to happen. --I gave the saber away as a birthday gift and all the electronics were done on the fly. The only plans I drew up were for a fully retractable blade toy and are now long gone, and basically involved a sort of "If I were a Toy Company" day dream plan which started the toy design from the ground up.
What I do remember, though, was that the item I got the new sound guts from was another extend-a-blade sword rip off toy which came from Asia. I found it at a dollar store several months before the official Star Wars sabers were released, (and which it is entirely possible were ripped off from the Asian non-licensed design.)
The Asian toy, in typical dollar store cheesiness, had the face of a robot warrior imprinted on the hilt, with three buttons forming eyes and a mouth. One turned the blade on and off, one made a series of explosion sounds, and another sounded like a laser bolt shooting. I only used the second one and had it rigged to cut out when the button was released.
The re-wiring was done in that insane haze of creative hacker-lust which comes along when you realize something Must Be Done At Once! (You probably know what I'm talking about.)
In other words. ..
You're on your own. Good luck, though! --If I still had the drive, I think I'd blow a few hundred trying to rig a cool sound-sword with some of those really cool expensive milled sabers which use glowing blades.
I keep pondering ways to make an extending blade using light emitting polymers. . . Nobody's done that yet to my satisfaction, though there has been one noble effort which involves varying voltage to the glowing tape used on one version of a blade.
I also suspect that it might be very possible to make a sword which creates a true bio-feedback 'saber wave' sound using small magnets on a rubber band along with old mouse parts to detect degrees of motion, coupled up with the sound guts from one of those new cell phones which have such amazing speaker technology, (and which are also programable!)
Ah well. A project for another day.
-FL
Took one of those extending blade light sabers...

Old Toy Modding?
·
· Score: 5, Interesting
When they first came out, they were pretty darned exciting. Phantom Mucus hadn't been released yet, so, Star Wars was still cool.
Anyway, after buying a couple of those swords, (one for me and another for a friend, so we could have saber battles), I concluded that I didn't like the way the sound effects worked. So I spent a couple of days rebuilding. I took the sound-guts from another toy and rigged the saber so that there were now two extra buttons within easy reach of your finger; One, when pressed, would make a, 'deflected blaster bolt' sound, and another which made a nice, 'Waving the Saber' sound; --all over top the basic saber hum.
It worked really well, and I lucked out with the parts I had available and the way in which they were designed. All I needed was basic electronics knowledge to make it all work.
The finished product made shadow fighting very dramatic; you could now match up the sounds the saber made exactly with what you were doing with it. Very cool! Now the saber toy was something which was actually worth the twenty-five bucks or whatever I paid for it. --Strangely, I can't remember the last time a toy was made which included the sensible features any normal kid would want.
The plastic for the blade could have been made better. See-thru green, (it was Luke's saber from Jedi), wasn't the best choice. It should have been more opaque so that the light bulb could do its job in illuminating the blade. But whatever. --I also drew up designs which would allow for the blade to retract entirely into the hilt, (another stupid feature of the toy was the ten inches of exposed blade when it was retracted. Lame.) Making it work properly could be done if you dropped the battery size down to two AA's, but it would have required molding my own plastic parts, which I wasn't going to do.
There seems to be a law; "No Toy Is Allowed To Be Completely Cool. There Must Be Some Suckage Involved."
Ah well. Like most things in life, I had way more fun modding the thing than I would have if it had arrived perfectly realized into my hands from the package.
Anybody who doesn't use Mozilla or an alternative browser is basically standing in a freezing rain shower when there's shelter freely available, (fully equipped with hot chocolate and quilted blankets in front of a nice warm fire place).
I sort of understand. . . It's sort of like giving a copy of Dune to somebody and telling them, "You have to read this!" --I know many otherwise smart people who just feel too overwhelmed by the idea of having to research and adopt a new piece of software. --So they just don't bother. They'll look at it some other day.
In any case, Mozilla is possibly the coolest thing to happen to the internet since the internet.
I've not played a video game in a LOOOONG time, but work was driving me bugshit, it was raining out and all my friends were asleep at 3 A.M. So I smacked my lips and went through the pile of ratty software sitting way back in one of my desk drawers. I pull up this old title somebody insisted I play a bunch of years ago in another life, and flipped it over to look at the system requirement specs.
Amazingly, my computer is now fast enough to run the damned thing, so I thought, "Cool! I'm going to shoot mobsters!"
Well seeing as I'm more than half a decade behind the curve on this one, I'm sure none of this is news to anybody here. But you'll pardon me if I react anyway. ..
It wasn't just 'Bullet Time'. I'd have to say that The Matrix owes its very existence to this game. --Plainly put, if Max Payne hadn't been made, the Wachowski Brothers, (er, the Wachowski Brother and Sister) wouldn't have made the Matrix at all.
Even the basic idea of everybody in the world living in a false reality, was clearly inspired by the basic artificality of FPS worlds. --And, I suspect, the hollow-feeling inadequacy of the conspiracy plot story line within Max Payne demanded that the Wachowskys fill in the yawning gap which asked, "What then IS the ultimate conspiracy?".
"Dude! Like what if there really WAS another level to it all!" "Yeah! Oh, duuuuude! I just got the coolest idea for a movie! Like we should totally make one!" (Forgive me. I don't know what the Wachowski family is really like, but I always assumed they talked like the kind of guys who hung out at the 7-11 and played a lot of coin ops.
Every second sequence and visual effect in Max Payne was replicated for the Matrix. You even get to play that crazy Lobby Sequence! And those Agent Smiths? A direct result of FPS characters all looking the same. Even the little glitch-like micro-pauses during game sequences were used. In Max Payne, those little pauses alerted you that, "Some assholes with guns are about to show up". In the Matrix, it was Morpheus intoneing, "They've changed something." --With the same net effect.
The Wachowski siblings basically just re-packaged Max Payne, added an extra layer of creative thinking, and threw in a bunch of Kung Fu.
And thank goodness for that!
This is not a criticism of the first Matrix film. Rather, it's an enthusiastic realization of just how cool it is when you realize the ways in which creators do their thing.
Either way, I can't stand wearing even a basic time piece, (which packs enough power to last more than the minimum 24 hours required to do its job).
More to the point, TV is brainsucking evil, and it already takes a fair bit of work to avoid being exposed to a cathode ray tube these days. Why on earth would I want one strapped to my body like some sort of mind-control wrist manacle reminding me every five minutes to buy shit?
Still, Saykoh's R&D kids must have had fun coming up with the device. It was obviously throw-away money spent more for its PR value than actually making direct profit. --If Wrist-TV was truly a necessity to this modern age where destructive televised thought patterns must be distributed to the public At All Cost, then I'm sure they'd have come up with something which didn't look like a piece of scuba diving equipment.
--Something cool-looking and coveted by the masses which can more effectively feed the brain a lot of creepy messages mixed in with the candy. You know, like a Walkman.
Repeat after me. ..
Love is the most important thing in the entire universe and you will never, ever find it which means you are a giant loser. Being miserable, aloof and unkind is cool. Buy stuff.
Why do people feel the need to stick with addicts? Personal interaction IS important. I mean, I don't condemn anybody's choice to obsess; you can learn a lot that way, but it's hardly reasonable to expect lovers to stick around while their partners scrape for the bottom. --Unless they're both on life paths which line up somehow. There's lessons all over, I suppose.
In any case, there's a VERY big world out there. I'm sure you can find somebody who is suited better for you than a dime-a-dozen computer game junkie.
Though, a gamer like the one you describe is probably a lot less expensive than dating an alcoholic.
Games have been banned before. As well, the people are so well programmed that you don't even need to ban something in order to get industry figures to refuse to carry or distribute it.
In any case, the analogy is not a good one; A game depicting a horror 'What If' scenario like the one described would be promoted here because of the fear factor it would create and the resulting support for Draconian government.
the goal is to increase tensions and a sense of alienation between the U.S. and China, in which case, the job is proceeding rather well. . . (And who owns the media?)
Yeah. Games are an amazingly powerful way to bake thought patterns into people's brains.
Witness the opening salvos of the Iraqi war. --A LOT of people around these parts had enthusiastic Command & Conquer images running through their minds and emotions when that fiasco was going down. It was obvious and disgusting. I wonder how many troops currently serving in Iraq have played Doom?
So yeah. 'Teaching' history? A video game is certainly going to be effective in doing this. The problem is that any information approved by the school system is going to be based largely on lies. Goebbels would have probably used the video game medium too, had it been available.
Being modded 'Flamebait' means somebody has written one of two things:
1. Something Vile and Wrong designed to piss people off.
2. Something Upsetting and True designed to make people stop lying to themselves.
If I'm vile and wrong, tell me why you think so. If I've upset you, then ask yourself, "Why?" If you are way ahead of me, then please pardon my post, and Cheers to you!
Yeah. Games are an amazingly powerful way to bake thought patterns into people's brains.

HA HA HA HA!!!! Comedy gold!!! I knew the internet was full of paranoid losers, alien nut-jobs and radical freaks, but you really do take the biscuit!! Where the hell is your eveidence? What links? I've never read such total shit in all my life! You're enitlted to think whatever the hell you like, but Jesus Christ, could you be any more wrong?!?
Where is my 'eveidence'? I'm 'enitlted' to my own beliefs? I'm sorry, did you say that you earned a degree?
Anyway. . . I'll answer this directly, but first I'm going to respond with a quote from the post you are having such a strong knee-jerk reaction against. . . (I've never quoted myself before, but it strikes me as relevant this time around. Hold on..).
There are certainly those who rationalize and pretend that there is nothing at all happening, but again, these are typically people who are driven by fear of ridicule and the desire to bolster their own vision of self-importance and self-confidence by ridiculing others and fortifying the lies they have themselves been told so that they don't feel stupid for having been made fools of.
Okay. ..
I've spent the last five years collecting, reading, interviewing and comparing all kinds of information regarding this stuff, and based on all of that, I have formed my current knowledge structure.
Aside from some of the government contacts who have been kind and brave enough to answer my questions, nearly all of the information I have looked at is freely available to anybody who chooses to seek for themselves. --Some of it must be dug up at the cost of some personal effort and expense, but those looking must expect to work for their knowledge. Nothing is free; it all takes effort, curiosity, and above all, a willingness to see the truth rather than resist it.
Even the sorts of contacts I have made are possible for others to make if they work hard enough.
So you want proof and evidence? Go get it. It's all out there, and I don't owe it to you. Your ignorance or lack thereof has no real value to me and I am certainly not going to fight to overcome your personal barriers in order to make available the fruits of my labor, particularly if you are going to be so rude about asking.
This is, in fact, a common piece of behavioral programming; the belief that the world owes people 'proof' and 'extraordinary evidence'. --That somehow, ignorance is something which should be fortified, defended and valued. A very strange and illogical state, but one which has been successfully impressed upon the public subconscious. --I think, in part, by way of endless court-room dramas on television. Television is an amazing tool when it comes to controlling how the public thinks.
In any case, your state of awareness is YOUR problem; nobody else's, certainly not mine. If you ask, I'll help, but it seems fairly obvious that you don't really want to know anything beyond the preconceptions you currently hold. With the violent sort of response you just demonstrated, it sounds to me like you very much want to stay ignorant. --Though, to be fair, a single post on Slashdot is far from enough to properly gauge a person's intent and personality. (It's a start, though.)
Anyway, what sort of formal study did you do in regard to the Military Industrial Complex?
Also, when looking at something simple like, Crop Circles. . . How much do you actually know about them? People who ridicule so very loudly typically don't have a broad understanding of the subject. I am curious to know the depth of your information.
You are not free to gain knowledge of your choosing. You are not free to enter my residence without an invitation no matter what knowledge or information I may possess. You make it sound like if there is something in my house that you feel you would intellectually benefit from, then you are free to kick in my door and extract that information violently or not.
Privacy is an illusion designed, I think, to make learning at this level of reality less painful. Understanding this provides a good reason to make peace with yourself and others as we each work through our lessons.
It is reasonable to assume that military science is extremely advanced in many more areas than simply aerospace. Indeed, with even the slightest use of reasonable thought, it is perfectly logical to assume that almost all of the technology which Slashdotters and the public at large consider 'New' and get all excited over, is really stone-age by comparison to what could be available if only it were allowed. --That in fact, the reality we all live in is a total farce -which for some reason- nearly everybody seems happy enough to play along with.
"Oooh. Digital paper." "Oooh. Bigger hard drives." "Oooh. Internal combustion."
This stuff is only impressive in the way that withheld candies are impressive to children. To pretend that we are actually pushing the boundaries of human knowledge and capability with any of this crap is nothing short of willfully stupid.
"Yeah? So what?" --Some might ask. "We know this is how it is, but there's national security to consider."
Er. . . Well, no, that's a very thin excuse. This goes far beyond secret planes which fly faster. Technological advance has happened in areas and directions which go amazingly far beyond a simple question of keeping the better airplanes out of the hands of the commies. (Which in itself is an incredibly stupid concept which again, everybody on the planet plays along with.)
The war in Iraq is an excellent example.
Saddam and his forces could have been removed with very few soldiers with much greater efficiency and cleanliness than was done. The kind of technology available and in use today makes it possible to shut down a city or a stronghold, walk in and murder or abduct the people you want to murder or abduct with ease and simplicity. The only reason to commit giant forces with archaic weapons and broken, (and some would say, nonexistent) tactics to a giant overseas ground war is this. ..
To create a huge, infernal endless war designed to kill millions of people and absorb billions of dollars in goods. --There is a LOT of money and power to be had from big messy wars. Understanding how this is true and where the power comes from and goes to, who it benefits and why, is the first step to grasping how the real world works.
Consider this. ..
One of the other directions military research has gone in has been toward that of mind control and mood altering. In fact, this could easily be considered the holy grail of military science; when you can control a population, then the need for guns and tanks is instantly nullified. --And anybody who has any level of competency in research, and who has the courage to look at frightening possibilities rather than seek comfort in ridiculing others while avoiding the pain of being ridiculed themselves, (and geeks have strong sore spots regarding this given their experiences through life; and isn't it curious that those most able to see through the veil are also those targeted with some of the most deliberate and cruel social programming?) --Anybody who knows how to question and has the balls to do so, knows that the holy grail of mind control was discovered long ago, and is widely implemented today across all strata of society in many different forms.
Secret planes that go fast?
The military industrial complex, (to use an old but accurate term), has more than secret planes in its bat belt!
The 'other' effects of cell phones upon the human brain and cognitive function were not only well understood, but were deliberately designed and were the primary reason for the proliferation of the wireless technology. --And population control through EM is only one way; combined with chemicals in our food, the direct psychological programming in advertising, music, television and movies -through all strata of media- combine to provide a means of near total control of humanity.
Many of you laugh. Would it be mind control if you feel that knee-jerk desire?
But you also need to balance that with "do I *need* to know how this works, and what are the ramifications of my actions *beyond* *myself*?"
Speak for yourself. If I can gain knowledge, I will do so, and I will not peacefully allow others to prevent me from it. The only danger there is in attaining knowledge is that of some bully shooting me for trying to grow beyond their control. There is nothing noble or responsible in deliberately choosing to follow a path of ignorance.
Only a willing piece of food would accept life within such parameters.
While there are glaciers shrinking back by the by the mile, and weird weather patterns all over the globe on the one hand, on the other we have die-hard "Hear no Evil, See no Evil" geeks loudly proclaiming that "Global Warming Does Not Exist".
Who's right?
Well, those glaciers ARE melting back. That weather IS very weird. And Right-Leaning 'rationalist' geeks are VERY annoying, (any leaning being less than rational). But despite all of that, I don't think global warming is the problem. I think it's an indication of a globe gone topsy turvy, (to use a technical term). --That the human cycle of experience is mirrored by the universe. (To use a New Age bit of thinking.)
But whether or not you believe that, doesn't matter. --Why? Because Comet Impacts are the real things which hold the power here. Big Rocks From Space can cause significant environmental issues lickety-split where global warming is more ambiguous. And it's not a situation which is a million years away. But that's a whole other thread which I wont go into here.
The point for here and now is this. .,
I hate air pollution. I lived in a city where after cycling around for half an hour, you'd be blowing black snot out your nose. That's just not cool. Living inside a brown smog cloud requires the body to spend a significant amount of its energy and resources just dealing with filthy air. While it isn't like hauling heavy stones, it's still a ton of work for your body to do, and it is exhausting. People have more energy out in the country? They don't look like pale ghost people? Gee. --While there are certainly more thatn the one reason for this, poisonous air rates right near the top of the chart of prime suspects.
I don't like car exhaust or industrial smoke because they're just plain disgusting and unhealthy to live beneath. Those are the reasons I'd like to see clean energy, and those reasons on their own ought to be good enough. Entire populations living beneath a cloud of brown is just not right.
So the Right-Leaning 'rationalist' geek boys can go suck an exhaust pipe. I want clean power.
You did a better job the second time around, although I still don't quite follow your position. You're using your own made-up words (Christaliban) without offering definition, as well as using contradictory and grammatically confusing statements. ("How did my post make you afraid, when you're the one splitting the country") --It's very important to remember that you're not posting to yourself and to consider what you might sound like to somebody else.
Anyway, first off, (to try to respond to what I think your points might be). . . I don't live in the U.S.A. I have, however, traveled through it fairly extensively, spent many weeks in many different cities seeing America and talking with Americans over the years. I had few problems with the U.S. when I began. That changed.
Second, I am not scared. At all. And I strongly suspect that I have a more clear idea than you do as to how 'interesting' things are going to get on the world stage, -regardless of where one happens to be on the globe.
Third. It sounds to me as though you plan to 'do your part' to protect the U.S. from corrupt politicians and those who plan to take away your freedoms. Okay, fair enough. I must say this though. ..
Any efforts you have made to date have achieved very little. A psychopath is in charge of the U.S. Americans have invaded two middle eastern countries without just cause. In fact, American history is rife with bloody and dark foreign policy. You've asked, "where were you when they pulled their coup in 2000?" I was watching, stunned from across the border. Where were you?
Okay. That's unfair. Canada has its own problems, to be certain. Every country has. But in reality, there is very little an individual can do at this point. We are witnessing social programs which were set up centuries ago, and which are being stage managed carefully at every step.
I would certainly like to see America come to her senses and take the reins back, but frankly, the level of programming is so deep and so wide-spread, I just don't see it happening. There are so many fundamental realities which people are not just unaware of, but which they actively resist becoming aware of; truths which need to be understood in order for the population to have any effect upon the course of history. It's hard to even start listing them, let alone convince the sleeping masses of them when they don't want to listen.
Chritianity and Hinduism and Judaism comprise a fundamental problem. How can you undo that kind of deliberate programming when it has been working itself into the psyches of the world populace for the last 2000 years?
Zionists own the media. Corporations and Military-industrial powers control the government, and the government controls all the guns.
How many American troops shipped over seas to Stop Saddam and find his WMDs? (WMD's which SOME of us knew never existed.) There's a reason over a hundred thousand soldiers bought the lie lock, stock and barrel, and it's because they were successfully programmed from the ground up.
Just check your fear at the door when you vote for a better day in November. And try not to piss off the rest of us who are ready to do more when these criminals attempt to steal another election.
Please. There is NOTHING a 'vote' can do to alter a thing in the U.S. at this point. The current leadership of the U.S. knows precious little as it is despite what they think. Puppets. There is nobody on the ballot who can make any difference at all. And what are you going to do? Storm the halls of power if the 'vote' doesn't go the way you want? Listen, genius, that's a contingency the current government is counting on. That would be a wet dream! It's an old, old trick, and it's an effective one, because has worked every damned time throughout history, and if it doesn't have a name, it should.
In short, armed revolt is the #1 method for justify
Slashdot Mirror
There have been an increasing number of strikes over the past couple of years. Some, like this one, a half dozen instances back, are pretty darned significant. (Though, those ones suffer from a near total media black-out policy, while the smaller ones tend to get the typical, "Funny news, one in a billion, what WILL the insurance companies do, har har har! Go back to sleep, citizen" treatment). Those in power, however, are more or less aware and are preparing in their own ways. One theory suggests that the real reason behind the current world-wide military lock-down is not the 'Terrorism' bugaboo, but rather is to secure the population (and planet resources) for when things get really hairy. Look up Alternative '3' to get an idea. (Rather a cartoony distillation of the concept, but close enough to the real deal to be a relatively good primer on How Things Are.)
There appears to be a definite time-scale thingy going on here. Watch and listen. Almost everything of any significance going on in the world today is directly related to the sky falling tomorrow, so to speak. And most of it is reactionary, religion-based stupidity. We wouldn't have troops in Iraq, and Israel wouldn't be on a genocidal free-for-all if it wasn't for the 'Good' book. Ah, religion! Crack of the Masses.

In film, however. .
The whole idea is to 'unlink', so to speak, and merge your psyche with the story reality. That expression people get when listening to a good story-teller is evidence of this effect.
Creepy looking fake people makes for cruddy stories. Somehow, even the garbage bag aliens on Dr. Who were far easier to make-believe with, (probably because the special effects were so easy to see through), than some of today's high end computer animated stuff. Trying to be real but failing really knocks one out of the story reality. (Perhaps a handful of pain killers would help.)
"Emperor's New Groove" had no such pretensions, and it worked perfectly as a result.
Personal note: I felt very weird about, "Shrek", and so far as I can tell, I'm pretty much alone on this. --The whole thing looked like a computer game cut-scene and the messages about physical beauty seemed very weird. Short people are to be laughed at, the black guy is a donkey, (I wonder if the reference to the old southern term was unintentional. . ?), and I know several women who, barring the ears and green skin, look a lot like the female Troll.
Just seemed like a film to feel bad to. But I'm still processing that one.

Here's an article with numerous details. Further reading on your own will enable you to make a reasonably accurate measure as to Tin-Foil-Hat quotient on this bit of 'raving'.
As for arguments, I'm not even sure what the actual subject matter you're writing about even is.
The subject matter is the DARPA challenge. My general position is that participation in the DARPA challenge is tantamount to applying for service in the military industrial establishment. This, considering what the American military stands for in the world today, should call for some serious thinking and soul searching on the part of the applicant.
-FL
I don't pattern my thinking after television programs and movies.
As a result, I am able to write sentences which people can understand. Dude.
-FL
In any case, I'd love to hear a worthy argument which negates the actual subject matter I'm writing about. Modding this down to "Troll" is simple avoidance and cowardice. I dare you to really think about this. (Of course, I'm not directing my words to those of you who already get it; I don't mean to include you in my vent. But there are fools aplenty who are clearly shying away from this subject who ought to bloody well know better.)
Still, in the end this is fine. The moderators who are apparently too horrified by the smell of reality to actually function beyond the knee-jerk must have their say as well, so this will be my third and final attempt to be useful; I'll not bother again. --If the majority really don't want to think about relevant, (albeit unpleasant) ideas, then who am I to force otherwise? Free choice, and all. . . (Though, I still find it a large personal challenge to maintain respect for the cowardly.)
Anyway, I added a couple of new thoughts this time around. .
I mean, the assholes who flew for Air America fully knowing that they were transporting drugs for the CIA. --Or who fly the chemtrail planes. And those guys who designed Carnivore. And Echelon. And the bio-chemists who came up with SARS. (Don't kid yourself.) --Or who designed any number of those fancy weapons, drugs and what-have-you which the Secret Government loves so dearly.
I ask myself, "Who would be so daft? Who in their right mind would join forces with the Dark Side?"
Then I take one look at the responses to this story and remember why it's good to have planet-wide cleansings periodically.
This DARPA program exists for one reason alone; to find those prodigy geniuses (who have, by deliberate design, been mis-loved and abused by society for being clever so that they'll be more willing to sell out their fellow humans), and then lure them down the one-way path of secret military-industrial employment.
I know guys who are wired Rainman smart, who really can card count eight decks at the blackjack table without even trying. Math and physics are like Lego. --I tell people about some of the toys the military had available ten years ago and I am told that I am crazy. Fine. Go build your robots for the local recruitment agency. If you're smart enough, you'll learn quick enough about the halls of power. When you're noticed, you're in and you don't get out again.
How many 'accidental' deaths of bio-chemists in the last three years? Is it over 40 yet?
You'll learn.
-FL
I'm afraid that's not going to happen. --I gave the saber away as a birthday gift and all the electronics were done on the fly. The only plans I drew up were for a fully retractable blade toy and are now long gone, and basically involved a sort of "If I were a Toy Company" day dream plan which started the toy design from the ground up.
What I do remember, though, was that the item I got the new sound guts from was another extend-a-blade sword rip off toy which came from Asia. I found it at a dollar store several months before the official Star Wars sabers were released, (and which it is entirely possible were ripped off from the Asian non-licensed design.)
The Asian toy, in typical dollar store cheesiness, had the face of a robot warrior imprinted on the hilt, with three buttons forming eyes and a mouth. One turned the blade on and off, one made a series of explosion sounds, and another sounded like a laser bolt shooting. I only used the second one and had it rigged to cut out when the button was released.
The re-wiring was done in that insane haze of creative hacker-lust which comes along when you realize something Must Be Done At Once! (You probably know what I'm talking about.)
In other words. .
You're on your own. Good luck, though! --If I still had the drive, I think I'd blow a few hundred trying to rig a cool sound-sword with some of those really cool expensive milled sabers which use glowing blades.
I keep pondering ways to make an extending blade using light emitting polymers. . . Nobody's done that yet to my satisfaction, though there has been one noble effort which involves varying voltage to the glowing tape used on one version of a blade.
I also suspect that it might be very possible to make a sword which creates a true bio-feedback 'saber wave' sound using small magnets on a rubber band along with old mouse parts to detect degrees of motion, coupled up with the sound guts from one of those new cell phones which have such amazing speaker technology, (and which are also programable!)
Ah well. A project for another day.
-FL
Anyway, after buying a couple of those swords, (one for me and another for a friend, so we could have saber battles), I concluded that I didn't like the way the sound effects worked. So I spent a couple of days rebuilding. I took the sound-guts from another toy and rigged the saber so that there were now two extra buttons within easy reach of your finger; One, when pressed, would make a, 'deflected blaster bolt' sound, and another which made a nice, 'Waving the Saber' sound; --all over top the basic saber hum.
It worked really well, and I lucked out with the parts I had available and the way in which they were designed. All I needed was basic electronics knowledge to make it all work.
The finished product made shadow fighting very dramatic; you could now match up the sounds the saber made exactly with what you were doing with it. Very cool! Now the saber toy was something which was actually worth the twenty-five bucks or whatever I paid for it. --Strangely, I can't remember the last time a toy was made which included the sensible features any normal kid would want.
The plastic for the blade could have been made better. See-thru green, (it was Luke's saber from Jedi), wasn't the best choice. It should have been more opaque so that the light bulb could do its job in illuminating the blade. But whatever. --I also drew up designs which would allow for the blade to retract entirely into the hilt, (another stupid feature of the toy was the ten inches of exposed blade when it was retracted. Lame.) Making it work properly could be done if you dropped the battery size down to two AA's, but it would have required molding my own plastic parts, which I wasn't going to do.
There seems to be a law; "No Toy Is Allowed To Be Completely Cool. There Must Be Some Suckage Involved."
Ah well. Like most things in life, I had way more fun modding the thing than I would have if it had arrived perfectly realized into my hands from the package.

Anybody who doesn't use Mozilla or an alternative browser is basically standing in a freezing rain shower when there's shelter freely available, (fully equipped with hot chocolate and quilted blankets in front of a nice warm fire place).
I sort of understand. . . It's sort of like giving a copy of Dune to somebody and telling them, "You have to read this!" --I know many otherwise smart people who just feel too overwhelmed by the idea of having to research and adopt a new piece of software. --So they just don't bother. They'll look at it some other day.
In any case, Mozilla is possibly the coolest thing to happen to the internet since the internet.

Amazingly, my computer is now fast enough to run the damned thing, so I thought, "Cool! I'm going to shoot mobsters!"
Well seeing as I'm more than half a decade behind the curve on this one, I'm sure none of this is news to anybody here. But you'll pardon me if I react anyway. .
It wasn't just 'Bullet Time'. I'd have to say that The Matrix owes its very existence to this game. --Plainly put, if Max Payne hadn't been made, the Wachowski Brothers, (er, the Wachowski Brother and Sister) wouldn't have made the Matrix at all.
Even the basic idea of everybody in the world living in a false reality, was clearly inspired by the basic artificality of FPS worlds. --And, I suspect, the hollow-feeling inadequacy of the conspiracy plot story line within Max Payne demanded that the Wachowskys fill in the yawning gap which asked, "What then IS the ultimate conspiracy?".
"Dude! Like what if there really WAS another level to it all!" "Yeah! Oh, duuuuude! I just got the coolest idea for a movie! Like we should totally make one!" (Forgive me. I don't know what the Wachowski family is really like, but I always assumed they talked like the kind of guys who hung out at the 7-11 and played a lot of coin ops.
Every second sequence and visual effect in Max Payne was replicated for the Matrix. You even get to play that crazy Lobby Sequence! And those Agent Smiths? A direct result of FPS characters all looking the same. Even the little glitch-like micro-pauses during game sequences were used. In Max Payne, those little pauses alerted you that, "Some assholes with guns are about to show up". In the Matrix, it was Morpheus intoneing, "They've changed something." --With the same net effect.
The Wachowski siblings basically just re-packaged Max Payne, added an extra layer of creative thinking, and threw in a bunch of Kung Fu.
And thank goodness for that!
This is not a criticism of the first Matrix film. Rather, it's an enthusiastic realization of just how cool it is when you realize the ways in which creators do their thing.
I wonder where Max Payne came from?

More to the point, TV is brainsucking evil, and it already takes a fair bit of work to avoid being exposed to a cathode ray tube these days. Why on earth would I want one strapped to my body like some sort of mind-control wrist manacle reminding me every five minutes to buy shit?
Still, Saykoh's R&D kids must have had fun coming up with the device. It was obviously throw-away money spent more for its PR value than actually making direct profit. --If Wrist-TV was truly a necessity to this modern age where destructive televised thought patterns must be distributed to the public At All Cost, then I'm sure they'd have come up with something which didn't look like a piece of scuba diving equipment.

Games have been banned before. As well, the people are so well programmed that you don't even need to ban something in order to get industry figures to refuse to carry or distribute it.

Where is my 'eveidence'? I'm 'enitlted' to my own beliefs? I'm sorry, did you say that you earned a degree?
Anyway. . . I'll answer this directly, but first I'm going to respond with a quote from the post you are having such a strong knee-jerk reaction against. . . (I've never quoted myself before, but it strikes me as relevant this time around. Hold on.
Okay. .
I've spent the last five years collecting, reading, interviewing and comparing all kinds of information regarding this stuff, and based on all of that, I have formed my current knowledge structure.
Aside from some of the government contacts who have been kind and brave enough to answer my questions, nearly all of the information I have looked at is freely available to anybody who chooses to seek for themselves. --Some of it must be dug up at the cost of some personal effort and expense, but those looking must expect to work for their knowledge. Nothing is free; it all takes effort, curiosity, and above all, a willingness to see the truth rather than resist it.
Even the sorts of contacts I have made are possible for others to make if they work hard enough.
So you want proof and evidence? Go get it. It's all out there, and I don't owe it to you. Your ignorance or lack thereof has no real value to me and I am certainly not going to fight to overcome your personal barriers in order to make available the fruits of my labor, particularly if you are going to be so rude about asking.
This is, in fact, a common piece of behavioral programming; the belief that the world owes people 'proof' and 'extraordinary evidence'. --That somehow, ignorance is something which should be fortified, defended and valued. A very strange and illogical state, but one which has been successfully impressed upon the public subconscious. --I think, in part, by way of endless court-room dramas on television. Television is an amazing tool when it comes to controlling how the public thinks.
In any case, your state of awareness is YOUR problem; nobody else's, certainly not mine. If you ask, I'll help, but it seems fairly obvious that you don't really want to know anything beyond the preconceptions you currently hold. With the violent sort of response you just demonstrated, it sounds to me like you very much want to stay ignorant. --Though, to be fair, a single post on Slashdot is far from enough to properly gauge a person's intent and personality. (It's a start, though.)
Anyway, what sort of formal study did you do in regard to the Military Industrial Complex?
Also, when looking at something simple like, Crop Circles. . . How much do you actually know about them? People who ridicule so very loudly typically don't have a broad understanding of the subject. I am curious to know the depth of your information.

It is reasonable to assume that military science is extremely advanced in many more areas than simply aerospace. Indeed, with even the slightest use of reasonable thought, it is perfectly logical to assume that almost all of the technology which Slashdotters and the public at large consider 'New' and get all excited over, is really stone-age by comparison to what could be available if only it were allowed. --That in fact, the reality we all live in is a total farce -which for some reason- nearly everybody seems happy enough to play along with.
.
.
"Oooh. Digital paper." "Oooh. Bigger hard drives." "Oooh. Internal combustion."
This stuff is only impressive in the way that withheld candies are impressive to children. To pretend that we are actually pushing the boundaries of human knowledge and capability with any of this crap is nothing short of willfully stupid.
"Yeah? So what?" --Some might ask. "We know this is how it is, but there's national security to consider."
Er. . . Well, no, that's a very thin excuse. This goes far beyond secret planes which fly faster. Technological advance has happened in areas and directions which go amazingly far beyond a simple question of keeping the better airplanes out of the hands of the commies. (Which in itself is an incredibly stupid concept which again, everybody on the planet plays along with.)
The war in Iraq is an excellent example.
Saddam and his forces could have been removed with very few soldiers with much greater efficiency and cleanliness than was done. The kind of technology available and in use today makes it possible to shut down a city or a stronghold, walk in and murder or abduct the people you want to murder or abduct with ease and simplicity. The only reason to commit giant forces with archaic weapons and broken, (and some would say, nonexistent) tactics to a giant overseas ground war is this. .
To create a huge, infernal endless war designed to kill millions of people and absorb billions of dollars in goods. --There is a LOT of money and power to be had from big messy wars. Understanding how this is true and where the power comes from and goes to, who it benefits and why, is the first step to grasping how the real world works.
Consider this. .
One of the other directions military research has gone in has been toward that of mind control and mood altering. In fact, this could easily be considered the holy grail of military science; when you can control a population, then the need for guns and tanks is instantly nullified. --And anybody who has any level of competency in research, and who has the courage to look at frightening possibilities rather than seek comfort in ridiculing others while avoiding the pain of being ridiculed themselves, (and geeks have strong sore spots regarding this given their experiences through life; and isn't it curious that those most able to see through the veil are also those targeted with some of the most deliberate and cruel social programming?) --Anybody who knows how to question and has the balls to do so, knows that the holy grail of mind control was discovered long ago, and is widely implemented today across all strata of society in many different forms.
Secret planes that go fast?
The military industrial complex, (to use an old but accurate term), has more than secret planes in its bat belt!
The 'other' effects of cell phones upon the human brain and cognitive function were not only well understood, but were deliberately designed and were the primary reason for the proliferation of the wireless technology. --And population control through EM is only one way; combined with chemicals in our food, the direct psychological programming in advertising, music, television and movies -through all strata of media- combine to provide a means of near total control of humanity.
Many of you laugh. Would it be mind control if you feel that knee-jerk desire?
Speak for yourself. If I can gain knowledge, I will do so, and I will not peacefully allow others to prevent me from it. The only danger there is in attaining knowledge is that of some bully shooting me for trying to grow beyond their control. There is nothing noble or responsible in deliberately choosing to follow a path of ignorance.
Only a willing piece of food would accept life within such parameters.
Knowledge protects. Ignorance endangers.

Well, those glaciers ARE melting back. That weather IS very weird. And Right-Leaning 'rationalist' geeks are VERY annoying, (any leaning being less than rational). But despite all of that, I don't think global warming is the problem. I think it's an indication of a globe gone topsy turvy, (to use a technical term). --That the human cycle of experience is mirrored by the universe. (To use a New Age bit of thinking.)
But whether or not you believe that, doesn't matter. --Why? Because Comet Impacts are the real things which hold the power here. Big Rocks From Space can cause significant environmental issues lickety-split where global warming is more ambiguous. And it's not a situation which is a million years away. But that's a whole other thread which I wont go into here.
The point for here and now is this. .
I hate air pollution. I lived in a city where after cycling around for half an hour, you'd be blowing black snot out your nose. That's just not cool. Living inside a brown smog cloud requires the body to spend a significant amount of its energy and resources just dealing with filthy air. While it isn't like hauling heavy stones, it's still a ton of work for your body to do, and it is exhausting. People have more energy out in the country? They don't look like pale ghost people? Gee. --While there are certainly more thatn the one reason for this, poisonous air rates right near the top of the chart of prime suspects.
I don't like car exhaust or industrial smoke because they're just plain disgusting and unhealthy to live beneath. Those are the reasons I'd like to see clean energy, and those reasons on their own ought to be good enough. Entire populations living beneath a cloud of brown is just not right.
So the Right-Leaning 'rationalist' geek boys can go suck an exhaust pipe. I want clean power.
