    What I think happens NOW, is that the way they get the messages out is encrypt the message, then encode it in an image, like a porn image, and post it to the newsgroups, where the 'readers' will read it and decifer it.

    perhaps even be coded using objects inthe background as a message, or combination of objects in a bakground over multiple images.

    they have found that patients that need heart replacements and that have to wait a long time for a new heart and end up waiting in hospital on a 'heart machine' actually end up not needing a new heart after 1-2 years, because if the heart RESTS for that long, it actually recovers very well and can operate again well. So in many cases, if their heart is utterly f00bared, they just go on a machine for a while, and the heart properly rests and gets healthy again.

    re 911, its a fishy affair any way, so who knows of CIA agents found em and 'took em away', not that there is much data thats usefull, we have cameras that know its speed/direction etc...

    The only usefull info is the voice recorder, if there were any pilots at all, maybe remote controlled by mosad or someone.

    One has to ask, why dont planes transmit all their data in realtime via sat, as they fly, so the box is redundant, but oh oh oh , like we expect CEOs and managers to approve of that, as any engineer will tell you, "fuck this is easy to implement and it will cost nothing, but we know sat owners will CHARGE you $1 per 10000bits of info just so their ROI looks like its 50% per month." Govt could pay for and launch its own blackbox sat for $100m, (money isnt real, its fake fiat printed by central banks, not like its really costing 100m any way)

    its called stealth, pretend to die, to sting back covertly. (jk)

    Seriously, the old spanish empire was evil too, infact all large empires are evil, as MASSIVE POWER, brings in massive insantiy leading to total utter control and paranoia.

    The elite families of earth and the govts learned that total utter control is a waste of time, an pure control/wealth is in controlling wolrd resources or access to resources, so if you wake in 80% profit of all resources, youve got it made no matter whos in so called 'real power'.

    Control money + oil = control of what happens and where and who you hurt.

    I think its not USSR that was evil, its HUMANS that behave in evil ways, on both sides of the pacific/arctic.

    Though someone learned that mathamatically, theres no ROI in killing millions of people, rather theres better ROI in keeping them barely alive and happy and working to pay taxes and not cause too much trouble.

    Get a reality check dude, NASa spending is tiny and bugger all compared to the other utter waste, but any way Phisbut, money isnt real, its all fake and printed out of thin air via credit using our fractional reserved banking techniqueues, ie lend out at 10:1 ration of what you have, so 90% of your cash is just a 'printed' version made just like counterfeit.

    Us TAX payers on the other hand are really only paying for the government DEBTS, and not government expenditure, (note: public tax income reciepts are near equal government interest payments, ie to bonds etc...). The rest of the money comes from taxes from taxing companies and goods and services at the sales stage.

    Part of that adventure is also the 20000 people that helped to make it happen and also the newly designed/cool technology which can be used royalty free by the companies that made it on commercial products in the public world.
