An interesting take on the Epstein list

Quote:Annunaki | Gods from Planet Nibiru and the Makers of Man Seven million years ago, a chimpanzee stood up on its hind legs, and a new species of hominin emerged. Over the next few million years, hominins evolved. They were still ape-like in appearance, but these were not apes. Their brains grew larger. They created stone tools and hunted large game. They discovered fire and learned to follow the migration patterns of the animals they used for food, clothing, and shelter. It took a few million years for hominins to discover how to make a stone spearhead. Two million years later, that stone spearhead changed into - a different shaped spearhead. Technology evolved slowly. But, three hundred thousand years ago, homo sapiens appeared. And before long, they - we were the dominant species on the planet. Once they destroyed Neanderthals once and for all, something happened. Technology accelerated. It only took 30,000 years to go from Gobekli Tepe to landing probes on other planets. How could mankind evolve so fast? The answer is: they couldn't. Mankind didn't evolve at all. Mankind was engineered: purpose-built to be the perfect slaves for a race of far superior beings who, according to ancient texts, descended from the heavens. Eventually, the slaves rebelled. And our masters - tried to destroy us in a great flood. Sumerian texts, Egyptian religions, Ancient Indian myths, Native American legends - even the Bible. They all tell the same story. It's the story of Gods and Men. It's the story of the Annunaki.

This is set at a time in the future when corporations rule... Some serious cussing but entertaining with a great story line IMO as our heroin Captain Hinckley goes about some serious retribution. The video has to be watched on youtube so sorry for that..

All the BILLIONS of taxpayer money they are finding enriching the Democratic Party chosen. Act Blue is about to go down as well it appears as their leadership is abandoning ship.

Quote:In a SHOCKING potential scandal that rivals Watergate, The Biden-Harris administration appears to have funneled $7 BILLION of YOUR tax dollars into a ghost fund—the United Climate Fund—tied to a $20 BILLION jackpot from the so-called Inflation Reduction Act. Spoiler: It’s got nothing to do with inflation. From Stacey Abrams’ shady Power Forward Communities (raising just $100 before scoring BILLIONS from Biden) to an EPA whistleblower spilling the truth—this was a desperate cash dump to benefit Democrat allies before Trump took office. Where did the money go? A black hole of legal fees, vague solar promises, and political insiders. When you break it all down, this amounts to $240 stolen from every American family—groceries, gas, your children's school supplies, gone. People MUST be held accountable for this.

Some are justified IMO

But the turds make it seem so heart felt !!

I’d never heard of Rodinia until I stumbled across it recently. I’ve always known about Pangaea, that giant supercontinent that existed around 300 million years ago and broke apart to form the continents we recognize today. But it turns out that Pangaea wasn't the first supercontinent to exist. Before it, there was Rodinia, and it’s fascinating how it shaped the earth's history long before Pangaea ever came to be.

Rodinia existed somewhere between 1.1 billion and 750 million years ago, long before the dinosaurs roamed. The name "Rodinia" itself comes from the Russian word "родина," meaning "homeland," hinting at the idea that it might have been the origin of the landmasses we know now. Scientists believe it formed when a bunch of smaller landmasses and cratons (the stable cores of continents) came together. It was a supercontinent, but one that was very different from Pangaea in both its size and structure. Unlike the more familiar continents we know today, Rodinia didn’t break apart with distinct, clear boundaries—it fragmented in a more chaotic way, which makes studying it tricky.

The breakup of Rodinia is one of the most interesting parts of its story. It’s thought that the supercontinent eventually split apart because of tectonic forces, though it wasn't a clean break like Pangaea. Instead, it led to the formation of several smaller landmasses that would later become part of the continents we know today. This process, over millions of years, created vast changes in Earth's geography and climate. In fact, the separation of Rodinia is thought to have played a significant role in the snowball Earth hypothesis, which suggests that Earth may have gone through a period of extreme glaciation, possibly freezing nearly all of its surface.

So, while Pangaea tends to get all the glory in discussions about Earth's ancient continents, Rodinia is an important precursor to it, shaping the planet’s surface in ways we’re still uncovering. It's wild to think how, even though we’re familiar with the modern continents, the landmasses we walk on today are really just the result of ancient processes that happened over billions of years. Learning about Rodinia is like uncovering another layer of Earth’s ever-evolving history.

Now scientists have discovered a hidden "Grand Canyon" in Tasmania, a remarkable geological feature that has remained concealed for millions of years. This stunning canyon, known as the "Pieman River Canyon," was uncovered by researchers using advanced LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology. The canyon stretches over 20 kilometers in length and plunges to depths of up to 400 meters, making it one of the most significant geological discoveries in the region. Despite being right under the noses of locals, it had never been noticed before due to dense forest cover and rugged terrain, which makes the area hard to explore.

The canyon's formation dates back around 15 million years, shaped by the slow erosion of the surrounding land and the powerful forces of the Pieman River. What's particularly fascinating is that the canyon's remote location has preserved a snapshot of Tasmania's ancient landscape, offering clues to how the region's topography evolved over millions of years. Some of the surrounding rock formations suggest that this area may have once been part of a much larger, continuous landmass, possibly linking Tasmania to mainland Australia during prehistoric times.

In addition to its geological significance, the Pieman River Canyon also offers a unique opportunity to study Tasmania's biodiversity. Researchers believe that the canyon's secluded environment may have fostered the development of species found nowhere else in the world. Given its remote nature, it could contain undiscovered plant and animal life that has been isolated for millennia.

Speculating about the implications of this discovery, one might wonder if the canyon’s geological features could be a direct link to the lost supercontinent of Rodinia. Formed around 1.3 billion years ago, Rodinia is believed to have once connected much of the Earth's landmasses, including what would eventually become Australia, Antarctica, and parts of South America. The Pieman River Canyon’s ancient rock formations may hold clues to this colossal landmass’s breakup, offering insight into how the continent fractured and drifted apart over time. The canyon's layers, with their complex geological history, could provide evidence of tectonic shifts and the forces that led to the eventual separation of Rodinia into the continents we recognize today. This discovery raises the tantalizing possibility that more remnants of Rodinia’s once-massive landforms are still hidden beneath the Earth’s surface, waiting to be uncovered.

The once high-flying Utah entrepreneur Joe Firmage has a lot of financial problems right now.

Quote:One of the 1990s' brightest tech stars may be headed to prison amid a shocking fall from grace that includes everything from alleged anti-gravity tech to elder abuse allegations to claims of a massive Ponzi scheme.

As Bloomberg reports, tech pioneer Joseph Firmage is being sued by people who invested in his anti-gravity quest, which coasted for way too long as his wealth and success dwindled in the face of the former digital guru's obsession with UFOs and aliens.

In the 90s, Firmage was living the dream after becoming an executive at Novell, the company credited with making local area networks (LANs) scalable, at the tender age of 23. After leaving to found the digital design company USWeb, Firmage was named one of Forbes' "Masters of the New Universe" toward the end of the decade — but his success was squandered after he claimed he'd been visited by an alien being who revealed that computer chips came from extraterrestrial technology.

Yes, you read that right. By 1998, just a few years into his tenure as USWeb's CEO, Firmage was asked to resign — and at that point, the "Fox Mulder of Silicon Valley" had little stopping him from taking his outrageous contentions even further.

With his mainstream reputation and career summarily squashed by his intergalactic claims, the still-young tech master began the new millennium surrounded by a new crowd: true believers and other hangers-on who were drawn to his alien attestations and bold vision for a future with clean and limitless energy and an anti-gravity propulsion system, as Bloomberg recounts.

In the ensuing decades, Firmage — the great-grandson of a Mormon apostle and the son of a well-connected military man — faded away from the national imagination even while getting more and more people to fund his science fiction dreams. Deploying his family's powerful background, the disgraced tech icon promised folks like Brandy Vega, the owner of a Salt Lake City production studio, that major military investments in his antigravity device were imminent.

Over the years, as Vega told Bloomberg, the woman and her husband gave the charismatic computer con nearly $100,000, sometimes in installments as small as $200 that he needed for various doodads and repairs. When the couple became concerned that they were being bilked, Firmage would send one of his bigger investors — who Bloomberg did not, unfortunately, name — to smooth out their anxieties.

By 2023, investors like the Vegas began asking for their money back. Firmage, who was also mounting an unlikely presidential bid, promised in a group text thread from July of that year that "Payments and Grants outbound expected to commence this evening." In the end, no such reimbursements materialized — and some of those investors have now filed suit against Firmage, alleging that he conned them out of tons of money.

Not long after that exchange, Firmage was remanded to jail in Salt Lake County after being arrested for elder abuse amid allegations of financially and physically cutting off an 80-year-old woman he was living with — and who had been his late father's romantic partner — from her family and basic necessities like food and water.

By the time Bloomberg got hold of him in October 2024, Firmage had been in that same county jailhouse for nearly a year, with courts saying that if he was released, he'd likely take up the abuse again.

When the outlet spoke to him, the former web wizard seemed much worse for the wear even by his previously kooky standards. He insisted that he could not "admit to a financial crime, because I didn’t commit one" and that he was in jail because he had been — apologies in advance — "gang-raped by an AI-equipped Jamaican financial crime syndicate."

Between the civil suit by the jilted investors and the criminal elder abuse trial, which has not yet commenced, Firmage may owe millions and be behind bars for a long while. If his alien consiglieres are real, now would be a great time for them to contact him.

March 3, 2025 / Joseph P. Farrell

I'm a big fan of the science fiction television series Fringe, as most regular readers here know.  For those who do not know the show, it revolves around various science fiction themes,  including parallel universes collapsing into each other, and things like mind manipulation, "dream connectivity", and so on. All of this is is tapped into by (and as it turns out, is in most cases created by) the show's mad scientist, Dr. Walter Bishop.   Again, for those who don't know the series,  Dr. Bishop is truly and legitimately mad - insane - having spent seventeen years in a state mental asylum until "rescued" by an FBI agent, and by his son. Dr. Bishop's madness, however, is not that of a Peter Lorre or a Boris Karloff, but more a kind of humorous relief; it's madness of the eccentric not of the criminal.

I mention all of this because one theme that extends throughout a few episodes is the relationship between mind and consciousness, memory, and the world of our dreams. Dr. Bishop has, for example, performed experiments on recovering memories from corpses (yes you read that correctly), to actual dream transfer from one person (often a corpse but not always) to another, living, person.  All this brings us to today's story shared by M.D. (with our gratitude).  This story appeared last October in The New York Post, but the subject itself concerns this Fringe-like area of dream transference, or as the article puts it, "chat between two dreaming humans."

Here's the story:
Start-up claims to have ‘successfully’ achieved first ‘chat’ between two dreaming humans: ‘Could unlock new dimensions’

Now here's the essence of this important experiment:

Quote:REMspace, a San Francisco Bay Area-based neurotech company focused on lucid dreaming and sleep enhancement, shared that they have now twice had “two individuals successfully induced lucid dreams and exchanged a simple message.”

The company claimed the participants were sleeping at their homes on Sept. 24 when their specially developed “apparatus” remotely tracked their polysomnographic data through WiFi — recording their brain waves, blood oxygen levels, heart rate, and breathing during sleep.

After the company’s server detected that one of the candidates had entered a lucid dream state, it generated a random word and repeated it to him via earbuds.

The company has not shared the word, which was allegedly only known to the participant and repeated in his dream state, but his response was then recorded and stored on their server.

Eight minutes later, the second candidate entered a lucid dream, and the server transmitted the stored message to them, which they repeated upon waking up — marking the first-ever “chat” exchanged in dreams.

“Researchers at REMspace have achieved a historic milestone, demonstrating that lucid dreams could unlock new dimensions of communication and humanity’s potential,” the company said about last month’s experiment.

Lucid dreaming occurs when a person is aware that they are dreaming while asleep. According to the Cleveland Clinic, it usually happens during REM sleep, when the most vivid dreams occur.

Now for those who have been following my own speculations about mind manipulation technologies and research, this opens up intriguing "high octane speculation" possibilities and implications. In my book Microcosm and Medium I pointed out that beginning in the 1970s (and probably secretly some years before), experiments were being done to create "electroencephalographic dictionaries" as I called them: literally mapping the brainwave patterns of hundreds of people reacting to specific spoken words. These waves were then "averaged" to produce a brainwave template of that particular word, and over time, the number of words that were mapped into this electroencephalographic dictionary grew from a few thousand to an extensive vocabulary. Then the experiment was changed: could these brainwaves of specific words be modulated into microwave (radio) signals and be beamed into an individual's brain, thus achieving the "voices in the head" phenomenon: actually having conversations with "people who are not there", and in the nature of the case, driving some people mad in the process, or at least, getting them to question their sanity. These experiments were also allegedly successful.

But in this case the brainwave response of to the word was recorded, and that that response was transmitted to another dreaming person. Note that in this experiment, that both participants were in the very deepest dream state, suggesting the next stage to the project: can the same template of a word be transmitted without the physical connection of the server? And if that should prove to be the case, what is the mechanism of transmission?

These types of experiments, believe it or not, were performed in the old Soviet Union (and in particular in the 1970s), and by other countries in the old Warsaw Pact, most notably in Bulgaria and Czechoslovakia.  I mention this because in the Soviet research, the preferred model for this information transfer - given its official promotion of Marxism's dialectical materialism - was via some subtle and unknown electromagnetic means. So the Soviet researchers did what any scientific team would do: they tested that hypothesis by isolating their dreamers in Faraday cages, and over some hundreds of kilometers separation from each other.  The results were significant enough to suggest that subtle electromagnetic transfer was not the mechanism or medium involved.

All of this  brings us back to Dr. Walter Bishop in his laboratory in the series Fringe. In one episode he is hooking up a living participant to a recently deceased corpse, and "tuning" them via a deep sleep state like REM sleep, until their brainwave  patterns match, as he has done on many other occasions in the series. On one such occasion he remarks that his some of his experiments were based on experiments done behind the Iron Curtain, to which he adds the very discomforting and disquieting comment, "You wouldn't believe what those Pinkos were up to!"

Actually, I would believe it, because apparently that type of research is being done now, by various private interests in the heart of "technocracy", the area are Silicon Valley, California. Or perhaps we might call it SillyCon, Looneyfornia, for the experiments that we know about are being performs on people in their dreaming state... giving yet another curious twist to all those practices of traditional piety, asking for protection from evil influences and temptations while asleep, and most vulnerable.

Now imagine all this, taken to the next step, beyond electroencephalographic dictionaries, to the whole constellation of non-verbal things, like tastes, sensations, sounds, smells, and the rationale behind those old practices become even more understandable.

The rabbit's foot is considered a good luck charm due to a blend of ancient superstitions and folklore. The belief in the rabbit's foot as a lucky charm is thought to have roots in African American folk magic, known as hoodoo, and may have been influenced by European traditions as well. According to folklore researcher Bill Ellis, the rabbit's foot represents a dead witch, neutralizing any threat it might pose.

In some cultures, the rabbit's foot is believed to bring good luck because it is associated with the dead body of a criminal. For example, former President Grover Cleveland received a rabbit's foot taken from a rabbit killed on the grave of Jesse James, an American outlaw, because it was believed that the more wicked the person who is dead, the more effective the charm associated with his remains.

The rabbit's foot is also linked to the European good luck charm called the Hand of Glory, a hand cut from a hanged man and then pickled. This connection suggests that the rabbit's foot could be a substitute for a part from a witch's body, further supporting its role as a protective talisman.

The specific attributes of the rabbit's foot, such as being the left hind foot of a rabbit killed in a cemetery under certain conditions, add to its perceived luckiness. These conditions include being taken by the full moon, on a Friday, or Friday the 13th, and sometimes shot with a silver bullet or cut off while the rabbit is still alive.
