Part Four of Playing With Fire; Plasmas and Unidentified Aircraft

Antigravity and X Craft



Cutting The Chaff
First things first. I want to start with a clean slate by way of upgrading the terminology and removing the dead weight. Beginning with this post, I am no longer using the generic term of UFO. Depending on the context, the referring term will be unidentified air vehicle or anomalous aerial phenomenon. The word "alien" is no longer in use.Either craft occupants or anomalous humanoids will be used in context. The only way to become untangled from a spider web, is to cut the strings. Part One was the general concept of separating phenomenon into reports of probable stealth craft from anomalous aerial phenomenon. In other words, the extra-dimensional psychic effects from the hardware. That is not to say the two are unrelated, but that is an unknown correlation. The next,( Part Two) was the context of unidentified air vehicles as potential X craft. Part Three was the illustration of the dangers of belief and how belief toward an unknown phenomenon presents a clear opportunity to be manipulated by those beliefs.All three were of a theme involving plasma weapons systems. This last post examines the evidence that suggests a high energy field attributable to the harnessing of plasma technology is perhaps the most likely culprit for unidentified air vehicles. The main theme of the post is central to the post war era, the apparent arrival of anti gravity air craft. While the general public considers this technology the stuff of science fiction, they seemingly believe on faith that unidentified craft are pulsing through the night skies manned by extraterrestrials.At the same time, private research on anti gravity is hampered by the simple fact that the U.S government can take away your patent with impunity in a strange paradox upon the capitalist system, if it is determined to be vital to national security. Private contractors under the usual safety net as working for the Department of Defense have no such disincentives. Rather odd. As I have suggested, this strange dichotomy of belief and evidence is the result of propaganda reinforcing the nebulous extraterrestrial as the culprit despite the fact they have not communicated, landed for any coherent purpose, nor have shown any interest in our affairs should they exist.While there is more than enough evidence that there was something anomalous wafting over the globe in, more often than not, in apparent stealth until the advent of inexpensive video recorders etc. The last redoubt of an empty hanger puffed as the modern mythos of Roswell seemingly has had the intended effect, extraterrestrials and their equally nebulous and circumstantial footprint have led researchers in circles based on faked documents, rumor and perhaps the testimony of men who in the service of their country and it's national security, towed the company line. As I said in the previous post the Roswell is a decades old double cross.There is no conclusion because it is an intentional bluff. An increasingly (at least to this writer) obvious misdirection of attention.
Give them what they want, not what they need is the aftermath. They have played upon our own mistrust, harnessed it, and sold us a pig in a poke.

The Relationship of The Strength of Plasma Energy To Location
Plasma is known as the fourth state of matter, and is an electrically ionized gas. Energy is required to create plasma, and the plasma itself is widely variable in it's energy potential to the electromagnetic field it travels within. It's a means rather than an end. Energy may be dissipated from a plasma in the form of light or heat. In scientific terms, "plasma energy" would refer to the internal energy of a plasma compared against the internal energy of the same gas in its pristine state. A more technical explanation is found here: http://www.plasmas.org/basics.htm You can see like all phenomenon, plasma propagation is not a free lunch if you have to carry your battery around to energize it's field as the strength of a plasma field is strongly correlated to the strength of electromagnetic fields in is within. This correlation leads to potential avenues of investigation as the gravity field of our planet itself has anomalies as well as varying strengths in relation to their geographic locations. If unidentified air vehicles require a strong field as found in power transmission lines, or or generally utilize variations in the gravitational field, these locational identifiers might be correlations to the statistical probability of finding them at one location versus another. Our planet's gravitational field charted on a geographic map is far from being a monochrome.


Like the nature of gas itself, plasmas do not have a definite shape or a definite volume unless enclosed in a container. Consider a craft a container. Unlike gas, in the influence of a magnetic field, it may form structures such as filaments, beams and double layers which would have an influence on atmospheric effects in any visual sighting, depending on the local conditions in which they are found. Another area that perhaps is a specific flight path for such a craft in high orbit would be the ionosphere, which is the uppermost part of the atmosphere, unique in that it is ionized by solar radiation, which in turn, plays an important part in atmospheric electricity and forms the inner edge of the magnetosphere. Remember this failed experiment on the space ship Columbia? experiment:http://pdf.aiaa.org/preview/CDReadyMSPACE09_2074/PV2009_6734.pdf

A picture is worth a thousand words. Harnessing the energy of the ionosphere is not a obtuse theory. I would love to see the failure analysis report on this one. Wouldn't you? Very interesting..did someone say lunch?



However, closer to the earth there is a phenomenon akin to a drift pattern,known as the ionospheric current, or solar wind. Another potential correlation in relation to plasma generation.The ionosphere has practical importance because, among other functions, it influences radio propagation to distant places on the Earth and was of great interest (as mentioned in the previous post) to Tesla. Pictured below is the flow of a ionospheric current.



Correspondingly the strength of the solar wind itself as it waxes and wanes may be an additional correlation. You can see ( which is the point of this simplified exercise) that the so called random appearances of unidentified craft may not be so much random as they are opportunistic. If your craft is dependent on the strength of a supporting field to generate a plasma, and it is prone to variations by location, availability and strength, well then, perhaps this can serve as a exploratory predictive model. Also these variations in the field may account for the sometimes "wobbling" effect seen in these craft.

Indications And Strange Evidence



Was a thunder storm the direct causation of ground effects or was it supporting the field of an unidentified craft, that in turn, was another opportunistically advantageous environmental condition for a plasma engine? Inquiring minds want to know. Oh, that's right, blame it on the Venusians or the men from Planet X again..



The Use of Plasmas As A Motive force
Another advantage to plasma energy is that it burns the atmospheric gases, allowing practically no atmospheric resistance, or drag. Using atmospheric gases to create a plasma motive force is not a screwball idea. For some light reading try "Plasma Kinetics in Atmospheric Gases." or "Development of a Plasma Source Using Atmospheric-Pressure Glow Discharge in Contact with Solution". The point is that there is a great deal of activity in atmospherically derived plasmas. However most researchers dont have the advantage of a annual twenty billion dollar black budget to dig too deeply. In the incredibly obscure CHINESE JOURNAL OF PHYSICS VOL. 36, NO. 2-11 APRIL 1998, we find the tome; "Magnetic Levitation Force of Single Grained YBCO Materials In-Gann Chen*l, Jen-Chou Hsul, Gwo Janm™, Chin-Chen Kuo™, Haw-Jer Liu™, and M. K. Wu2‚Department of Materials Science & Engineering, National Cheng Kung University. Perhaps we would be better off looking for our answers elsewhere. Ask those wearing an appropriate shoulder patch. Good luck...the ruse is in the thread.



Well there's another route. Read "Guidelines to Antigravity" by Dr. Robert Forward, written in 1962 (available from the American Journal of Physics for a fee). Dr. Forward’s article describes several obscure tidbits in Einstein’s General Relativity theory that, simply put, indicate how moving matter can create unusual gravitational effects. Dr. Forward also defines six different kinds of antigravity in his "Indistinguishable from Magic" book: Aside from the obvious "weightloss" in free-fall as an astronaut in orbit; the first is to place a very heavy mass overhead to cancel the earth's gravity field. Secondly, we may use ultra-dense materials spaced very closely to the object we desire to be weightless. The last Newtonian idea, is to use various "guard" masses to reduce tidal forces on a test mass already in orbit on the space shuttle. From Einstein's theory, comes a fourth idea; that moving ultra-dense matter in a toroidal coil at high speed will generate a dipolar G-field.This is the premise behind the Nazi bell experiments. Fifth, the idea of dragging of inertial frames, which will pull objects along with them. Lastly, the sixth idea, is the possibility of negative matter (-m), just like negative charge, will reverse the direction of force; it moves towards you when you push on it. This brings us back to our wonderful plasmas.

There are any number of variations on this theme.http://www.popularmechanics.com/science/research/1281736.html

There is some controversy regarding Boeing's success in this anti-gravity field beginning some eight years ago as some have said the results have been nil, while Jane's Defense Weekly infers this is largely for public consumption.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/sci/tech/2157975.stm

As in our ever elusive "Nazi Bell" an extremely dense material moving at relativistic speeds would explain their use of Mercury plasma containing heavy ions. If the plasma spins at the correct velocity and the Mercury ions are also moving in a spiral, then the individual ions would be moving at a velocity perhaps thousands of times faster than the bulk plasma spin, in order to execute their "screw thread" motions. Anyway, the short version is a theoretical anti-gravity device utilizing plasmas. Don't get me started on red mercury, please.Lets stick to the velocity of heavy metals in a counter rotational plasma spin. In other words you use the atmosphere to generate an internal, containerized electromagnetic field which in turn drives the plasma to spin, which then depending on the velocity of the spin, attenuates a higher velocity heavy metal medium by which could perhaps create gravitational effects. its called plasma damping of gravitational waves, or some silly nonsense a medium blurted out while channeling Chubby Checker.Oh. look up "The propagation of gravitational radiation in dense media" or something similar to that. Plasmas are the stuff stars are made from as well as theories. Not miscalculated Mayan calendars.

..So perhaps there is a connection between plasmas, the atmosphere, gravity and these unidentified aircraft. Well, I'm tired of typing. My interest wanes toward this old loom. I never did get to the subject that was my original aim..the nasty effects of hanging around one these high voltage craft.Is there any way to uplift another form of atmospheric drag... on this topic? The convulsion of space time through gravitational effects are met in kind by a geometric, intellectual game of Twister where one's disturbed mind becomes a fractal bent into interesting biological shapes rather than endlessly slogging through the mire of moldering social superstitions on a warped Ouija Board. Is it that time again kids? See you next time on the dance floor. Someone wake up Vallee,he's snoring through the torch procession to Frankenstein's castle, or is it Dracula's domain these days? My arthritis is killing me, none the less..

Part Three of Playing With Fire: Ashes and Embers

What If Aliens Do Not Exist, Is This
A Trojan Horse Corralled In A House Of Mirrors?

Dedicated to the Efforts of Billy Cox and George Knapp

With Apologies To George Gershwin, H.G Welles, The Fox News Corporation,and Dashiell Hammett


The Circumference Of A Dark Sun.
We all know something is rotten in the State of Denmark so it is a matter of degree rather than one requiring a great deal of hand wringing over whether we are paranoiac or justifiably paranoiac. We are neither children, statistical pawns nor fools who abide either bald faced lies or a roaring silence as an obliging straight man to the pie in the face. We are in the midst of nervous laughter akin to whistling past the graveyard whether we are staring at goats or parsing the burn marks on a cardboard box. I was going to detail propulsion systems in this post in relation to UFO radiation effects but I have decided to insert this theoretical scenario into this chronology prior to continuing the evidential trail. I was understandably miffed when my computer was hacked,traced to a government source and then agitated when my database was corrupted. Who do I turn to? The psychic who claims I am an alien sent to save the world? Look up some moldering antidote from 1954? The UFO community has a bad habit of mixing it's metaphors. Let's start with a musical introduction on my personal perspective toward this dilemma in terms of money. Whats that phrase? Follow the money?



I look at the larger scientific community and see these ambivalent technocrats as hopelessly co-opted in the service of the industrial state and the pragmatic necessity of towing the party line. I look at the politicians as bland servants of ineffectual "doublespeak" tied to commercial concerns who are their electoral paymasters. I look at the relatively small group of "experts" interviewing one another or moving from town to town like a traveling circus dispensing theoretical tidbits in an era of free floating anxiety. I look at the exopoliticians petitioning the rabble to storm the Bastille with paperwork while the media monopoly is feeding us Koolaid between commercials to promote general stupidity. Newspapers, the bastion of investigative journalism and democracy are dropping like flies all around us. Perhaps in this, fictions meet truths at the hard boiled corner of Uncertainty and Nuance. The situation of the UFO is perhaps characterized by an eclipse where fictions are mixed with truth to create a Rashomon Effect.As a result, the truth buried in this mystery despite our quest for easy answers, may be neither the black or white, yes or no, but gray. A little of this and a little of that as a compounded interest that unexpectedly blows up in our face. Is this inevitable?



Wings Over The World



Behind the scrim of this corrupted state of affairs, something is moving in stealth above our heads like the Sword of Damocles. We need not recount H.G Welle's propensity to demonstrate a nearly psychic capability to predict future technologies, and in one particularly lesser known work, obscured by time, is an eerie prediction that is preeminently applicable to a variety of applications. As many long term readers know, I have a habit of looking at all the variations of what UFOs may be. As in the last post,unlike most, I suspect there are three background phenomenon at play, both the intangible and the tangible, or extra-dimensional and the nuts and bolts options are not mutually exclusive. The third phenomenon is the disclosure movement that attempts to kill two birds with one stone. The fourth variant is the while nuts and bolts UFO's exist, they are not from Planet X. If they are stealth X craft that have been promoted as being from elsewhere, could this potentially false flag be used to cube a manipulation of our misdirected assumptions? Consider this, what is a better way to enforce a propagandist agenda, is it to suggest that the "UFO" is a secret held in high esteem by the government? Entirely plausible in a shell game. Is the pea under the shell marked X Craft or under the one marked alien craft? We return to one film noir versus the current one we inhabit.History repeats itself. You are unwittingly a character in this film, and this is not one concerned with the diaspora of moonbeams,benevolent and self comforting daydreams.

Call it a concern with certain fringe elements.



A Trojan Horse filled not with demons of a other worldly nature but propelled by the ghosts of earthly ones such as Himmler, Goering and Bormann, who, yet once again, play upon our superstitions. John Keel was correct in this, however the perpetrators decidedly have very empirical goals in mind behind the screen of phantoms in the skies. It is the work, not of human-alien hybrids, but rather a hybrid that is the consequence of unlimited, unchecked secret budgets without congressional oversight, nor that of any other democratic institution this hybrid's other half which is the the use of this nation's intelligence apparatus who have not only worked hand in glove with private contractor's in the development of new technologies, but now have acquired the freedom to monitor, indirectly threaten or manipulate, as it has the past, the very citizens for whom they allegedly serve. Then there is the matter of a wonder weapon.


Dashiell Hammett, in his triumvirate of corruption named the cops, the politicians as well as "the big steam." as a threat to justice when the greater public good is a nuisance to private interests. The "big steam" is money. This is where the intersecting interests of these private contractors, the intelligence agencies and the military have the increasing freedom to pursue their own agendas in stealth. Is it a surprise that it is some of these same private contractors that control the "public" or shall I say, corporate media news outlets? What if , in our bed time story, they possessed a ring of great power, or a sword once held in the hands of Nimrod, a cursed weapon that was only a glimmer in the Reich's eyes?

Of course the sorcerer's who worked for the thousand year Reich were brought like the plague on ship that was kept together with 'rat lines" and Paperclips, as well as immunity for war crimes. As I said this is a film noir that Werner Herzog might say is peopled by public shills, unwitting stooges and hapless pawns. Forget the inferred justice implied in 2012, The Last Days and the other superimposed overlays on the UFO. We could easily have decided it by "Ju Ju."when we refuse to roll the dice.

H G Welles and his "Wings Over The World" are propelled by the small cabal of men who would be kings over the whole in order to corner the planetary market. Read between the lines.Where does a parody and propaganda of a potential alien invasion logically lead? Is it the upturning of democratic processes, declaring a national emergency, suspending the due process of law? In this there ia a zen like consideration, What is the length and breadth of a house of mirrors?

More importantly what did Eisenhower know between the lines we have squinted to uncover in the skies? Aliens, as they would have us believe or is it a wonder weapon that would require physicists,private corporations and of course, a cover story? The UFO as a form of private double jeopardy or a public double cross. We need a Sydney Greenstreet in our film noir to set up the search for the Maltese Falcon. Under which shell is Dr Goebbels? In our own film noir, it is difficult to tell the alliances that exist behind the transactions involving a Maltese Falcon made of lead, or the selling of an alien presence, which is the "set up" perhaps to a nasty punch line to the gut. Listen carefully to the "Godfather of Roswell."



Then again, we were warned, well..warned with vague puzzle pieces..telegraphed innuendo by someone who was walking out the door of a burning house, into the fog of history. It's clear we adjusted to steel beams falling on the sidewalk, narrowly missing us. Or is this a future event, like the mold concealed behind the wall of a house, it's toxicity masked by a coat of paint? Played with both sides against the middle and supported by a imaginary threat concealing the real one? Inquiring minds want to know.



In H.G Welle's novel,on May Day 1970, a futuristic X craft lands outside the town. The pilot and sole occupant, John Cabal, emerges and proclaims that a band of "engineers and mechanics" have formed an organization known as "Wings Over the World". They are building a civilization, based in Basra, Iraq, that has renounced war and outlawed independent nation-states. A nice neat package of tying up the loose ends, not delivered by U.P.S, but rather by the arrival of an X Craft. A double cross.

Consider the permutations of this.Loren Coleman may have a new example of shadow language.

When an Independence Day Becomes The Triumph of a Technocracy

You may have to decide when the time comes what the evidence is concerning an actual versus a faux threat with aliens, or for that matter, an invasion. A that are the stuff of which the dreams of a technocratic and psychological cabal could easily embrace as a ploy well as our own unquestioned assumptions, of which they may have gone to a great deal of understandable trouble to reinforce utilizing a variety of media. A stealth or X Craft as a plasma weapons platform, that is unknown but to a relatively small is a UFO. A Trojan Horse invasion prompting a National Emergency could be played like a piano.

Is this famous opening scene one that could be the earliest manifestation of a future coup d'tat by a cabal buried within our government, hidden at the intersection of the mutual military-industrial interests? As long as our cell phones work or we have the latest version of Windows..or if we have enough oil when this not so rosy picture turns south then the sense of self entitlement that breeds complacency,or the ignorance that breeds superstition, abides.
This is irony plied on with a shovel.Belief is a dangerous commodity. Ask Sam Spade.

Fox News Corporation’s motion picture and television "programming" operations are world-famous. It is also know for a certain very pointed editorial slant much like that observed in the last post in a certain prolific strategic defense policy institute. When is entertainment propaganda and news a singularity? One recalls those examples of World War Two. Very effective and duly noted. Oh, yes, that alien threat..



Yeah vold, good Doktor. Yes, Virginia, there are ghosts, non human intelligences, freaks of nature and things that go bump in the night. There are entertaining movies, chatty forums and the fog of photographs, viral videos and collaborated rumors. This is different. It has a metallic taste, rather antiseptic, focused in a madness that plays upon us like a heroin, giving us what we want in our addictions, while picking our pockets. Planting Manchurian memes, making a carnival of staged demonstrations, feeding us, fattening us like hypnotized sheep who corral themselves. No fence is needed. Time to sober up, put down the glass and walk outside. The sun and the moon are in eclipse. Is it midnight or dawn? It is neither one. we may have bought what we have been sold, hook line and sinker.

Where do we go from here? Behind the curtain, behind the strings, behind the hunger, behind the stillborn, behind the ruins, in a field full of weeds, behind the peeling barricades where we begin as we end, perishing as we cut a pathway,seeking an elusive self validation.

When the time comes,as I said, we will have to decide by examining the relationship of values to purpose. Mark my words well. Heaven knows, I may be right. Remember the Greys in Nazi uniforms that the Hills encountered in their visionary initiation. Remember the vision of
being helplessly experimented upon. Remember the impenetrable mask, the black eyes as seen by our Manchurian messengers, these visionary's who took the temperature of an infection others created by way of a experiential telegram sent as a clear indication it was what they were pointing to, not what was in their hand. The threat is here, not there. That is, unless you think a ghost can perform surgery. That lovely woman with the silver hair in dreams and then in an unanticipated meeting whispered this to me. Call me mad, deluded and lost but I pass this along to you. Take care with whom your alliances lie and don't be fooled when the time comes. Opt for reason rather than fear. Don't take anyone's word on anything at face value, nor the evidence alone, use your instincts as to who stands to profit from what and by whom.

You may well avoid being double crossed.

Postscript
Some interesting visitors (just at random )have arrived at my doorstep. Lawrence Livermore, NASA, etc, among others. The latest? Attribute it with idle curiosity, bored employees,something to do on a break or a lunch hour.. No Doubt. Ask Sam Spade.

Part Two of Playing With Fire: Are X Craft Surfing A Plasma Wave?

Real Versus Imaginary Monsters or The Effects of Utilizing Marshmallows As Petitions Against The Engines of History

"The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars,
But in ourselves, that we are underlings."
-Wm Shakespeare

"I have become death, the destroyer of worlds."
-J. Robert Oppenheimer


Three Phenomenon For The Price of One
While the first post examined a potential thread in the technical exploitation of plasma weapons, this post concerns exotic technologies that existed, or were under development at the onset of the modern UFO Era which provocatively coincided with the last years of World War Two. The purpose of this series is not to suggest an answer to the UFO enigma, but rather to suggest, as I had in the first post, we are dealing with and are lodged between two phenomenon, not one. One is toxic... the other illusive. One has death, madness and strange disappearances in it's column and the other is simply a bad nightmare, a visionary and ephemeral initiation. Competing realities, which will be the subject of the next post, among other facets that seemingly become entangled in our minds.


This serves as an theoretical explanation for the patina of secrecy,outrageously off the wall MIB activity,as well as the persistent disinformation and manipulation of private and contracted researchers. My own suspicion is that in regard to prosaic but exotic unknown X Craft, our government knows a great deal but, however, in regard to the enigma of a non human, organic source for the parallel activities of unidentified aerial phenomenon, the government knows as much as we do, which is comparatively very little and is essentially clueless. However, at the same time we also have any number of witnesses as enthusiasts who have a self destructive proclivity for hanging out at the outskirts of military bases in the hope of gaining evidence that they have seen a "flying saucer" in the strange lights flitting in the night sky, secured behind barbed concertina wire.

What they have witnessed may be something altogether different but just as exotic.There are two possible engineering approaches in the military use of plasma technology as a ground based, directed weapon One is to divert the plasma into a chamber, excite it, introduce a laser-critical gas such as argon and direct the resultant energy through high-power optics as a laser beam. The other is to wrap small compact rings or 'toroids' of plasma energy in intense magnetic fields and fire them from a weapon as 'bullets' at air or ground targets.

In the early 1990s, the US Air Force was preparing tests at Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico, designed to lead to a ground-based plasma-weapon in the late 1990s capable of firing plasma bullets at incoming ballistic missile warheads. The enabling technology was a 'fast capacitor bank' called Shiva Star (Death Star) that could store 10 million joules of energy and release it instantaneously. I am not making this up. Officials anticipated firing bullets at 3,000km/sec in 1995 and 10,000km/sec - 3% of the speed of light - by the turn of the century. The tests absorbed little more than a few million dollars of annual funding (Jane's Defence Weekly 29 July 1998).
Another fact for your consideration. CNN recently reported that in the United States, black budget projects are being funded at a level of more than 20 billion dollars per year. What Paul Bennewitz photographed at Dulce Air Force base is perhaps overdue for reinterpretation as well as other phenomenon in this shell game.


Truth is stranger than fiction. What lies below the public record? None the less, the monitoring of sightings continues unabated and this series of posts examines what may be the hidden, parallel history of the UFO. One that cannot be determined by reports alone, nor photographs but perhaps in probabilities rather than our unfounded fears versus ones we have yet to encounter, ones that we should have, but lack the wherewithal to be cognitive and wary of. Imagined threats versus ones that can make the next war, a casebook example of the old Shakespearean axiom that the best laid plans of both mice and men oft times go astray. The "dangerous knowledge" of Godel comes to mind. However there is a more tangible form of dangerous certainty that has haunted me. Joesph Capp's compelling account of the death of a military officer as well as a body found on a coal pile in England after a police officer's close encounter. Metaphysics have never been known to leave a trail in the form of a body count, unless you include the NSDP.



Ask Nimrod where he placed that arrow.

If this is so, the activities of testing experimental weapons platforms as well as organic unknown phenomenon then feeds what I call a Rashomon Effect, not only in civilian activities but in the intelligence activities of government where the U.S monitors reports of their own stealth activities by foreign entities that are reported as UFOs, as well as those that are uncorrelated.

The third phenomenon is a growing undercurrent of faulty logic due to the lack of definitive answers to either synthetic or organic phenomenon in terms of any coherent explanations. This is the disclosure movement. While well intentioned,this doomed political movement fails to take into account that if the U.S is conducting stealth testing of exotic technologies, why in heavens name do we expect disclosure, because any disclosure would also have to disclose and make absolutely vulnerable, national security by revealing their role in the phenomenon that the public views as a singularity rather than two sides of a coin. A petition to disarm the world is a well intentioned but sincerely naive "wil o the wisp"..In this, I have often considered that one famous case that has been beaten to death, may be based on the sworn patriotic duty of some to lie with a straight face in their oath to defend our national security, as perverse as that seems. Would you lie for your country?

While not a personal criticism, this blog piece seems representative of this fantastical expectation in the form of an outcome to our current state of mixed metaphors.. http://www.unknowncountry.com/journal A hope against hope which could be better served by a more pragmatic tact. The history of this phenomenon has a history of repeating itself, which has more to do with more authoritarian visitations of the terrestrial kind than the more nebulous ghost phenomenon of the mind. Again, the toxic versus the illusive in the light of statistical probabilities..parallel phenomenon versus a singularity. Not all phenomenon were created alike. Many Ufologists seem to mix their metaphors as casually as the certainty that accompanies religion, among other things. Of course, it's polar opposite of uncertainty creates accidental and unforeseen events.Oops, where is our "Feces Clean Up" team?



The Eternal Return In The Cycle of History
Real UFOs exhibiting inexplicable maneuvering capabilities at incredible speeds that contemporary aircraft are incapable of, are nothing new. Consider when allied bomber pilots in their lumbering B-17's encountered a astonishing creature in an era of prop driven air warfare, one can only imagine their dissociative state of mind when encountering the Reich's ME-262, whose advanced design was not placed to any practical use by others until the Korean war. General Omar Bradley observed that "We did not win World War Two, the German's lost it" Hitler's refusal to accept the ME-262 as a tactical fighter until it was too little too late, was duly noted. The triangular X craft of our own generation has a similar effect.

Then...



Now...



Indeed what the hell is it? In more ways than one the silence is deafening.I have noted that history that on one level is a story that has essentially never varied in it's course, on another, the faces, technologies, the players change while all assume the roles of their predecessors. Are we on the cusp of a similar surprise that was encountered by the bomber crews of one era and the hapless pilots of our own time? Which is the more probable, a proverbial Venusian or an X craft?

When A Straight Line Is A Spiral
One of the two critical assumptions in the last post was the long time required to bring experimental results of new technologies to a practical fruition, as well as the fact that the Third Reich possessed extraordinary scientific advances in the technology of warfare, some of which, we are only now discovering, incredibly, nearly seven decades later. Take one example out of several, that of stealth technology, which is the capability of aircraft to elude radar detection. The 1988 F-117 Nighthawk is touted to be the first aircraft to deploy this capability. Wrong. The first stealth aircraft was the 1944 Horten HO-229 Flying Wing. There was a wonderful and fascinating program on the National Geographic Channel wherein this possibility was tested using a full scale model based on the prototype which is still held at a secured location, under lock and key. Note the required four decades between the HO-229 and the F-117.


Does this craft look familiar? Could the mind of Kenneth Arnold be prone as it is with nearly all eye witnesses to inadvertently and incorrectly embellish his memory of a HO-229? Yes, this extraordinary aircraft still exits although understandably it is now in pretty rough shape due to the passage of time.. Could it have been flown in a test flight in 1947? Yes. The photograph below documents the arrival of this craft at a military base in Seymour, Indiana in 1946, one of the spoils of war. Did or could Arnold have perceived what he saw as a matter of reasonable doubt? Of course.


Is the first unidentified aircraft of the postwar era, a UFO, or a HO-229? Which is more probable, an HO-229 or an encounter with Venusians? Would the U.S tip it's hand to the Soviets that such a craft potentially capable of accomplishing an end run around their radar defense be acknowledged and publicized in conjunction with Arnold's sighting of it at the height of the Cold War? The answer is perhaps the hidden history of contemporary stealth aircraft.

The B-2 bomber has a linage traceable to the Third Reich. And so in the forty years it took to exploit what the Reich had discovered are there yet other projects that are still being perfected? if it took until 1988 to perfect the contemporary offspring of the HO-229, whose postwar test flight Kenneth Arnold may have witnessed what other other advances owing their heritage to German Scientists exist? Nick Cook of Jane's Defense Weekly, the proverbial blue chip standard of aviation journalism makes some pithy points in the following video.



I have noted in a previous piece on Project Paperclip that it is strange indeed that some of the leading edge experts and specialists in the world were German scientists who publicly worked in postwar positions at NASA, that had no direct correlation whatsoever to their area of expertise. This series of posts are essentially an updating of those at Paradigm Probe by incorporating the subject of plasma and EMP weaponry. These previous posts, which could be considered a more detailed examination of this background story remain as a three part series entitled "For Whom The Bell Tolls" at my former blog, "UFO Paradigm Probe". http://paradigmprobe.blogspot.com/2007/11/part-one-for-whom-bell-tolls.html The remainder are in the archive for November of 2007. Any way, in regard to the role of postwar German scientists, there may be a very odd probable reality. which is yet,at the same time very comprehensible in terms of security issues. How do you spell double duty in terms of Janus faced responsibilities for projects? One public, one pursued in stealth. One face here and another there, still the same face, much like the history of the UFO itself.


Beyond The Third Reich
Another previously noted technology termed "magnetic wave" manipulation by U.S intelligence reports studying the it's potential deployment by the Third Reich in 1945,was lumped in with the atomic bomb, gas infusions to cripple aircraft combustion etc. Magnetic wave propagation in relation to plasmas is still of great interest to private individuals and groups following Tesla's notes. http://home.dmv.com/~tbastian/ball.htmThis is also true of the Department of Defense in numerous Air Force and Navy Research and Development programs such as low observables, high power microwave (HPM) generation, particle beam physics, computational plasma physics, explosive power generation, vacuum electronics, hypersonic drag reduction, and advanced war-gaming. And so can one reasonably suggest that absolutely none of these have been field tested in real world circumstances? From time to time strange reports surface only to vanish back into obscurity in relation to plasma technology.

"Three leading French physicists claim to have made a 'sensational breakthrough' into the mysteries of how UFOs are powered. Dr. Jean-Pierre Petit, Dr. Claude Poher and Dr. Maurice Viton, have constructed what they term a ‘UFO engine’ or, The Petit-Viton Magnetohydrodynamic Motor’ by using,so they say, a combination of both electromagnetic and nuclear energy. The French scientists claim fantastic results and tremendous power output in the order of 1,000 million watts. The ufo engine was built at the Astronomical Observatory in Marseilles. Possibly one of the most amazing developments of the French ufo engine, is that the physicists claim to have discovered how to suppress the shock waves which slow down any object moving through the air. Petit said: "It all comes down to standard physics. An electromagnetic field can create a low pressure area under an aerodyne, or flying saucer.To this can be related the peculiar property of plasma. Plasma’s magnetic field is frozen inside while it expands at unimaginable speeds, producing an electrical current. Using plasma, a belt of ‘free air’ can be created. The molecules of air in front of this belt are pushed aside without piling on top of each other, as they do when a normal aerofoil passes through the atmosphere fast enough to break the sound barrier. We’re not saying we’ve solved the problem, but we think we have cracked the principle behind the effects observed in unidentified-flying-objects. As a matter of interest, one of the physicists who co-developed the ufo engine is now head of an official French ufo research group. Dr. Claude Poher, formerly in charge of the Astronomy Department, Scientific Systems, Projects Division and Sounding Rockets Division of the French National Centre for Space Studies (CNES), is now director of GEPAN (Groupe d'Etude des Phenomenes Aerospatiaux Non Identifies)".- As reported by Robin Collyns in 1980



Or less sensationally http://www.spacedaily.com/news/future-00o.html

Then again, we kill two birds with one stone as evidenced in "Horizontal Plasma Antenna using Plasma Drift Currents" This short excerpt from a Navy patent notes "A horizontal plasma antenna is provided. An ionizer generates an ionizing am through a horizontal tube to form a bounded plasma column extending along a horizontal axis in a gravity field. An amplitude or frequency modulating signal is applied to Helmholtz coils to control a horizontal magnetic field that is perpendicular to the horizontal axis. The resulting changes in the magnetic field produce a drift current in the plasma that, in turn, radiates an amplitude or phase modulated electromagnetic field from the plasma column." Ouch.

Nimrod's Progeny
With the assistance of a $2.7 Million U.S. contract, Stellar Photonics is developing a Plasma Acoustic Shield System, or PASS. The PASS uses a high-energy laser to create an airborne ball of plasma, then uses another laser to create a shockwave inside the plasma ball, creating a flash of light and explosion. Gosh,what does EMP stand for? Thanks to Micah Hanks, who kindly noted to this author that this specific book is of some great value in understanding the tactical advantages in possessing such a wonder weapon. It's now on my "must read" list.
http://www.amazon.com/One-Second-After-William-Forstchen/dp/0765317583/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1257093676&sr=8-1

Here is a more visual variation on this theme. Bear in mind this is presented using technology that is prosaic in the framework of experimental craft still potentially utilizing EMP in a more sophisticated methodology by way of propagating plasmas by high frequency waves. A well done piece of "agit-prop" by way of revealing the vast potential of "wonder weapon." Wonderful for whom, you might ask?



How about the U.S equally interested in a Chinese nightmare, or an Iranian one? Still think Venusian are a greater threat? Consider that this video is one of the very creative endeavors of one Frank J. Gaffney Jr, who is the founder and President of the Center for Security Policy
,established, not surprisingly in Washington, D.C. Frank Gaffney’s Center for Security Policy has received over $2 million in corporate donations since its founding in 1988, mostly from major Star Wars contractors like Lockheed Martin and Boeing. Not a happy camper as he seems to be reflecting a certain coherence that could be inferred that is shared by his financial contributors. See for yourself. Is there dissent in the ranks toward a less profitable stance for contractors in diplomacy? Still worried about Greys?

http://www.centerforsecuritypolicy.org/index.xml

In 1988.Mr.Gaffney also acted as the Assistant Secretary of Defense for international security policy under President Reagan, who I noted in a previous post opined on a alien threat from another world at the U.N , while very effectively economically strangling Gorbachev's Soviet Union with the threat of the ever present vague shadow of "Star Wars" In that capacity, Mr Gaffney also served as chairman of the High Level Group of NATO. A busy guy. A connected guy. He also served as a professional staff member of the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee under its then-chairman, John Tower, and as an aide to Senator Henry "Scoop" Jackson. In this game of smoke where there is fire, there is undoubtedly a secret history ongoing in our time as it has demonstratively in others, all under the cover of stealth, fueled not be deterrence, but perhaps by a preemptive fear or the capability to wield one as a threat. An ace up the sleeve. Buried beneath the public face of national defense, there are many variations of a secret history that are more due to our own ignorance than intelligence operatives.

The Ultimate Wonder Weapon of The Universe


Consider this a prediction I would prefer not to make but then again unfortunately I have history at my side to vouchsafe my own gnawing stomach ache, when it comes to the strangers bearing these gifts which we are in no position to receive. The ghosts of Einstein,Hiroshima, and in particular, that of J. Robert Oppenheimer are my witnesses. Consider this an epitaph for our priorities in regard to a hierarchy when it comes to scary monsters, the ones we discover in ourselves when all of our altruistic and visionary rationals as to our spirit of exploration meet the tribal rubber on the highway.


An interesting article even suggests darker possibilities regarding, not suprisingly, what is known as dark matter.

"If it were possible to control the dark sides of a force then spacetime, the arena where everything we know takes place, could be bent and twisted with infinitely greater ease than was ever suspected. This would open Pandora's box to everything from vacuum energy weapons of mass destruction (capable of destroying the universe!) to spacetime warp drives and time machines. A quick survey of the international electronic archive of physics papers at www.arXiv.org shows that research into the vacuum of spacetime is alive and well. Most authors are independent researchers struggling with limited funding and resources, yet their theoretical results suggest that somewhere in Nick Cook's black world, a major breakthrough has already taken place. Most likely the United States and Russia are in the lead. China, France, Ukraine, Iran, India, Cuba and Saudi Arabia all have scientists actively pursuing the fundamental physics that determine the fabric of our reality, and are seeking the theory and the means to access the enormous energies locked inside of the vacuum since the creation of the universe."

http://www.pureenergysystems.com/news/2004/08/30/6900039_DarkMatters/index.html

Those strange theories by some physicists that the HADRON Collider might be in a continual failure mode due to something in the future tampering with it to prevent it's being used might not be so casually dismissed as we consider that nearly every technological advance has been harnessed by the military.

But then consider the state of Ufology these days covered in the mire of soothsayers and juvenile aspirations. The evil spirits we fear may be terrestrial in nature. In the beginning of this series, I noted the Reich's access to Tesla's notes and so this post returns to the beginning as it ends. Remember, kids, truth is stranger than fiction and irony has it's place at the table.



Perhaps G.I Gurdjieff summed our situation very neatly. "Where there is much good, there is much bad." Next..the search for zero point energy...UFO effects and the potential ones arising from plasma propulsion systems. In this also is a different take on the old warning of "Watch The Skies.." We can only hope that Prometheus shrugs.

Part One of Playing With Fire: Flares, Ball Lightning, Plasma Weapons and UFOs

Changing Channels Against My Own Best Instincts, A Film Noir


"Technology has advanced more in the last thirty years than in the previous two thousand. The exponential increase in advancement will only continue. Anthropological Commentary The opposite of a trivial truth is false; the opposite of a great truth is also true."
-Niels Bohr

"I'm inside a spaceship. I'm not paritucalry scared, but am confused. There is the definite presence of aliens, though I can't see them. It's very important, this "meeting" and I tell them I want to remember this, bring something back. I'm handed (again by unseen beings) a pendant, of sorts. It's a triangle but with rounded corners, and a symbol that is similar to the letter P. Almost like a runic P, but not a rune. I take the pendant back with me, but upon landing, or returning, the pendant disappears in front of me, right in my very hands. It just dematerializes."
-Regan Lee, describing a vision in a dream*

Plasma Weapons,Directed EMP Effects and A Shell Game
A picture is worth a thousand words.They become particularly valuable around 1:10.No doubt, if perfected, this is a formidable wonder weapon for our time or any other.



To this observer, this seed of doubt that played against my own anticipations all began with the most unlikely of all people, who promoted the UFO meme on the world stage.At the U.N no less. This man no more believed in UFOs than the most hard boiled skeptic. A wistful old man, or a shrewd poker player with an ace up his sleeve? A dewy eyed believer? I think not. I think of my mother a tough Irish woman, who could cuss up a blue streak at the speed of light, who, when she answered the phone a second later,sounded like a frail Mother Theresa. After putting the hapless Gorbachev in a tight head lock, working him over the head with the Star Wars blackjack, our old kindly "Dutch" waxed philosophic, knowing full well that the Soviet Union had spent itself into oblivion in yet another desperate strategic race to remain on a par with the vague allusions to a technology capable by dropping intercontinental ballistic missiles like flies. Then the bait and switch comes in for global consumption. The shell game makes it's first appearance in broad daylight.



Yes, of course, our Utopian visionary sees this occurring in real time, whilst one views this family twisting each others arms behind their backs. Just apply some "Old Dutch Cleanser" and suddenly you have crime families scrubbed and metamorphosed into an episode of "Leave It To Beaver." The role of EMP effects directly correlated to UFO phenomenon is so well established that it is one of the least controversial facets of this situation, however it's origin remains an enigma unless one assumes this concerns extraterrestrials rather than yet something else altogether.


Selling A Maltese Falcon By The Pound
Ball lightning, weapon systems,and plasma physics as in the letter P, are all the stuff dreams are made of. Whether they are dreams or nightmares depends on your point of view, or then again, are we speaking or a waking dream or a nightmare when technology meets the base instincts of human psychology? Murder weapons come to mind, film noir, Humphrey Bogart..the stuff of modern metaphor, a myth. Remember Prometheus? For all we know, he's still paying for that act of charity toward humankind.Perhaps we are as well. Perhaps it was simply a bad idea. Then again, the irony of discovering bad ideas is our lack of foresight, or is it hindsight? Perhaps, mercifully, we can hope that our long suffering Prometheus is in heaven where he can play the heavens as his Harp. This is a story about the possibility that plasma weapons are continuing to be developed in stealth, and that the history of their development may parallel that of the mythologies, as well as the potential reality of the UFO. The CIA as well as other agencies have long used the UFO phenomenon to mask the testing or deployment of new weaponry, particularly of course, air based weapon platforms.

One of the issues surrounding the possibility that UFO activity is being used as a mask or in the case of many events, strongly inferred, ( by leaving a breadcrumb trail)or directly prompted by several public figures who either have a strong background in physics or have direct ties to the military, is the troubling issue with this theory..why haven't they been deployed if they exist? The answer may be one that is both in the affirmative and in the negative. In other words, as a weapons platform,they are not fully developed but they are at a testing phase, a long term one, that may be marked with one of failures as in Kecksburg, or in the Cash-Landrum Case or the event in Sorrocco, or more recently in Phoenix, Arizona and more infamously in Texas. There may be evidence they were tested in stealth in the opportunistic situation that presented itself in Iraq. However, there is a domestic and local effect of these potential plasmas, as in this photograph taken in North Carolina.


Many of a conspiratorial bent have noted or felt that that the public explanations for the Harp facility are suspect.I looked at the technology that as well as the methodology it uses. Below is one of many documents that have a plasma based connection within this project. Then there is the natural although rare example of a plasma in nature, ball lightning.Then there is the necessary atmospheric conditions required to test or facilitate a plasma based weapons system and this, in turn, led me to yet another anomaly that I had not suspected was anything other than an example of free floating anxiety, which are the mystery contrails seen in many locations.


Is this an example of ionizing the atmosphere to create conditions favorable to testing this weapons system by dumping barium, carbon, and aluminum into the atmosphere first? The first of a two part posts examines what may or may not be a common thread between the long term testing and experimentation not of new stealth aircraft, but of a weapons system as well as the long developmental process that may have been required to bring an old theory, in it's evolution, to practical application, as well as the extraordinary tactical advantage that such a weapon would present.


Well worth extraordinary efforts in the many complex facets of keeping such a potential weapon a well buried secret versus the challenges that the atmospheric testing of such a weapon would require. In Part Two, I will examine the evidence in more detail. From time time time, bizarre, seemingly impossible stories surface from a world of mirrors in regard to Harp, Tesla and wonder weapons. Here is one: http://www.deepblacklies.co.uk/doom_weapons_1.htm They interest me not so much on whether they are completely accurate but rather, possibilities and that they represent that some variation of yet another layer of the onion yet still obscured.


Or perhaps we are ahead of ourselves in this investigation. At the beginning of our chronology is a transfer overseas of the valuable papers of a proverbial mad scientist, Nikola Tesla shortly after his death, ..then perhaps they accidentally fall into the wrong hands by a rapid turn of events, perhaps a war, as when the Nazi Regime invaded most of Europe These hands of villains have no compunctions in pursuing their dreams of power, and, in turn, our formerly honest cops in capturing them, made a deal with the devil, when they disarmed them and in so doing, the thugs escaped justice. In this a curse was transferred, the road to Hell was paved with good intentions,or was it temptation? Or were they the infected carriers of yet another, even older toxic legacy, in the demonic possession of the golden arrow forged by the mad desires of Nimrod? In an era that predated the modern onset of the UFO phenomenon, this very old illustration of Tesla's vision of future, containing engine-less "missles" and directed energy weapons remains strangely prescient.



Creating The Rashomon Effect
Well, none the less, we live in world of polarization when it comes to critical thinking, you know, it's either this or it's that. However, in the real world, simply because you discover one aspect of a phenomenon, this does not automatically rule out the others. As we grow older, or if we read the work of Conan Doyle or Dashiell Hammett in our youth, we learn, sooner or later that our immediate assumptions can be skewed if we neglect the truism that nothing is never so simple as it seems, when it comes to drawing preliminary conclusions on the surface of immediate impressions.

"Be careful about reading health books. You may die of a misprint."
-Mark Twain

There is a danger in this as Hammett eventually learned that "It's sometimes better to pretend I don't hear the sound of somebody in the nearby woods with a shotgun." Or is it? Never leave your notes on a homicide in plain sight. The testing of any new theory takes time..maybe, a very long time..Anyway, the first step in solving this case is is..what? Oh yes, a chronology of events...



Ball lightning resembles a archetypal night sighting of a UFO as much as it does a flare. Associations lock. Or this an example of the same faulty reasoning behind what we want to believe versus how we have been perhaps manipulated to adopt those beliefs can also result in no small amount of disappointment in a faulty conclusion, that somehow eluded our best instincts. I should have followed my first hunch. Sometimes the smallest detail in a crime scene, contradicts the most sensible theory. Critical assumptions can be akin to blithely playing with fire.The plasma lamp was invented by Nikola Tesla after his experimentation with high frequency currents in an evacuated glass tube for the purpose of studying high voltage phenomena. A lamp not requiring wires, but one that could be lit by the propagation of radio waves. Of course there is another thread, that of wonder weapons, an in particular the one allegedly kept in a small wooden box in the safe of the hotel where Tesla spent the last years of his remarkable life, penniless, dependent on charity.

Think of this,here is the most brilliant mind of the twentieth century, living on a meager pension by his native land and private individuals out of respect for making the transmission of energy, a reality. A proud yet resolute pauper potentially holding in his possession, one last invention. One that would guarantee him everlasting fame, redeem his wealth,make up for the theft of his patent by Marconi, his betrayal by JP Morgan, most of all, make his lost masterpiece at Wardencliff, a reality.


Yet in his wisdom, he kept the monster secured in Pandora's box. For this he paid a willing price. Recall that Tesla turned down a Nobel Prize when he was offered to share it with Edison. He was capable of refusing honors on moral and ethical principles. Rather than accept a hit or miss approach to physics by Edison, this genius literally dug ditches as an alternative to compromising his principles,in order to eat and clothe himself. Due to this refusal to allow examination of it,many have been led to conclude this invention did not exist, the wonder weapon, the same one that crops up in bizarre, intermittent references. In Wired Magazine, some time ago, I was struck by an article entitled "Weldon’s Plasma Weapon Attack" By Sharon Weinberger.

"Do electromagnetic pulse weapons keep you up at night? Well, now get ready for plasma weapons, says former Congressman Curt Weldon, whose talk today on Capitol Hill was unsubtly named: Getting Serious about World War IV (part of the National Defense University’s always excellent breakfast series on nuclear weapons and missile defense). I couldn’t pass that up, so I dragged myself to the Hill to check it out.

Plasma Let’s back up a minute. Weldon, before he came under investigation, before he pushed Able Danger, and before he started helping out Russian flying-saucer designers, was a big backer of the Commission to Assess the Threat to the United States from Electromagnetic Pulse Attack. Basically, the commission looks at very scary EMP weapons — high-altitude nuclear detonations meant to create a disabling electromagnetic pulse to wipe out all electrical systems. Depending on which side of the aisle you sit on, these are either scary weapons that will set civilization back over a century, or a bogeyman meant to scare Congress into pouring even more money into missile defense.

Anyhow, an unnamed U.S. think tank dealing with EMP issues has evidence that Iranians were accessing their website, Weldon says. "There, sure enough, was documentation that showed the Iranian Scientific Agency had tapped into the EMP website to get a better understanding of what EMP is and how perhaps Iran could tie in their Shahab missile system with a crude nuclear weapon…"

That’s not all. According to Weldon, the EMP commission is also now looking at the threat of "a non-nuclear EMP," using a "plasma weapon, which I think is an equally devastating threat that we might have to face one day."



Proxies, Pawns and Patsys
Sometimes nature, science and even perception has a aggravating habit of altering our perspectives when it comes to assumptions about what is feasible versus a bad dream we attribute to indigestion.However,those plasmas, wouldn't they make wonderful weapons without requiring an airborne delivery system? No, cross that off..Too far fetched..Then again what if the Third Reich had never existed? Would we consider such a turn of events credible if it were predicted? A modern day vampire capable of enslaving the minds of millions to do his bidding, only to be found in the end, to be reduced to ash?..then again, the rumors of his escape haunted Joesph Stalin. Perhaps it was something else, a possibility rather than a empirical reality that escaped the Russians..a legendary wonder weapon descending from Nimrod perhaps passed from the hands of an infirm Tesla to Hitler and then to..not a UFO, a weapon. The UFO is perhaps most likely a convenient straw dog enfolded into this film, as a deaf mute patsy,in a triangulated set up...worthy of a plot designed by Raymond Chandler, or one worthy enough to be obscured by our own best intentions, or those who loaded our dice.Or, all three. The UFO in this may be an inadvertent shill, an innocent bystander, a dupe and a misdirection of two parallel truisms. An aircraft or a plasma? One not yet armed in any practical manner..

United States Air Force in 1944,authored "An Evaluation Of German Capabilities In 1945",still held at Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama, contains a brief summary of a "magnetic wave" weapon.


"That's ridiculous enough to be true, or is it? Argh..we'll never know, whats on television tonight? Anyway, why didn't our country ever take advantage of the technology? Or, at least, test it? It doesn't matter,nothing ever came of it..." We live in an era of corporate control of the media, political propaganda, so much so that we do not believe our own eyes or trust our own instincts. Or, witnesses..that is to say these people are haunted by something that did not occur? Is that reasonable? Oh..of course it is! It was a incredulous spaceship from Planet X, a strange connection to the story arc of The War of The Worlds.. or then again..perhaps a very failed, very terrestrial weapon. A incredible weapon, so incredible, it was being tracked lest it fall into the public domain? Then again, we feed the mythologies of our own expectations..Men from Mars. Dashiell Hammett must be laughing his ass off.



"I saw that program already, what else is on? Is it me or did that Kecksburg thing look familiar?. Same old rehash..what else?" The again, playing with fire and the theme of being burned..this is no fiction in real life although it serves as a metaphor in our story at it's conclusion, what of the sociopathy of the Reich, the legacy of a wonder weapon that should be pursued at all costs? Even at the cost of civilian lives. Ask SS Officer Werner Von Braun. A third graders impersonation of a democratically impartial kangaroo court.The perpetrators investigating themselves.. a now common tactic whether it is in the Senate, or long ago, at the headquarters of the Luftwaffe. The ghost of Herman Goering looks for a folding chair. Key phrase: "more than glad"



Both of these brave and courageous ladies, fellow American citizens, succumbed to the effects of radiation poisoning. Let me repeat this.Both of these brave and courageous ladies, fellow American citizens, succumbed to the effects of radiation poisoning.

All of this confuses the the already confused locals,transfixed by the tales of contactees, soothsayers and "experts" all this playing with fire..so put let's really put the pea under the shell, there we go, round and round. Now, where is the pea?



I think this is called a shell game. Whats the difference between a flare drop timed to the night test of a plasma weapon platform to create a diversion? A UFO? What a marvelous accident of circumstance air force maneuvers in the same location, at the same time of night, the same day, the same month at the exact time they coincidentally drop flares..another coincidence there are now two distinct possibilities.placed before us.or, in this film noir... or,is there a third actor unseen that the first two serve to obscure? An off topic thread is woven to cover one's ass.



"Nothing new here..time to turn in. Well..maybe Ill watch the news.." Pay attention at the 1:00 mark. It happens quickly.



No Wonder It Was So Easy To Steal
Did someone say disclosure? Humphrey Bogart smirks. No, sorry, very unlikely..professor..MJ12?..Is it a red herring or a black, very black Maltese falcon? In our film nor..Who stood to profit by aggressively selling us this lead totem? Yes, by the way who sold it to us? There must have been some profit in this ruse..nothing is ever as it seems. Sometimes the advocates of this purchase are the ones we least suspect. Draw your own conclusions.Making a deal with the devil, playing with fire is like playing both sides against the middle..be careful.. well..you may well get burned.

Future Games

The Many Worlds Between The Layers of An Onion

In Memory of Mac Tonnies


Decoherence Is A Two Way Street
When you distill the essence of what we term the paranormal, it is a question rather than any answer. What is the purpose, sense and significance of life, particularly human life on earth? Consider that values and purpose cannot be separated.Somewhere behind the veil of our pretensions lies another world, as far distant and as close as that stranger alongside of us. Consider further a possibility, although due to spiritual chivalry, I will go no further, that man has remade God in his own image, and that we have been focused on our inalienable rights rather than our more pressing obligations.

Consider that there is a growing misuse of the paranormal as a pliable reformulation of superstitions, which, in the market place, is handy for channeling free floating anxiety in a social medium, all of which has this field mired in a misdirection of attention, as one of the public hungrily digesting an entertaining menu of imagined threats, when the greatest threat before them are themselves, in terms of lacking any intellectual curiosity that challenges their critical assumptions. There is certainly irony at play,in this domesticated, tribal ritual exorcism of our demons posed as safe stereotypes. that the public indirectly experiences as trained voyeurs, while the sand shifts perceptively beneath their feet.

Undoubtedly, due to this, the future will be a humbling experience, according to my sources. The Buddhists speak of conditioning as a screen poised against reality. We skew what we term the "paranormal" in favor of our conditioned biases. Like a range of parallel tumblers in a lock, our memory is the two way gate that is set by anticipation, unconscious wishes, desires, instinctual likes, dislikes, self comforting illusions of what we should be, fears of isolation, the pressures of consensus and so forth. When these align, we paint a picture of rosy biases neatly arranged to capture what is essentially decoherence poised as an intention, the cross purposes we see cubed before us, whether it is in the world of the "paranormal" or the normal.

In this there is hope, or so they say. Whether it is the life of a child or that of a civilization, there is no avoiding error. We learn from our mistakes, whether we chose to or not. We burn our own fingers, and are absolutely free to destroy life on Earth. Would we be capable of receiving a gift from an advanced race? Consider that we do not respect non human life, let alone our own, in kind. The sun does not rise and fall with our anthropomorphic desires as opposed to the concept that a great deal of paranormal phenomenon feeds upon them.


For this writer, these are the shadows that we cast regardless of whether we recognize them or not. In these circumstances, our shadows carry more weight that color our critical assumptions, anticipations and intent regarding the supernatural, than what we actually experience. Call them phantasms,call them the state of our species, call them the darkness cast by light or the light cast by darkness. Perhaps the orientation toward both life and death are dependent upon what side of singularity you believe you inhabit as some physicists suspect. However that is how we define these states by proxy. As a result, perhaps we have superimposed ourselves into a imaginative dream of our own making. Decoherence, purpose and values collide. Of course there is no time for such nonsense when we are completely immersed in cross purposes.Please set aside your comic book should you have one, regarding the juvenile aspirations of some cultural stooges in regard to the "paranormal" becoming a political movement.

Our epoch is a remarkable one, where a dialog is just beginning between the metaphysical and the scientific community. This undoubtedly as I have underlined in scores of posts, this is a breakthrough in honestly exploring the "paranormal" realm.



The Eternal Return Of Expecting Different Results From The Same Causal Singularity
Haunted by the death of Mac Tonnies, as I was in the process of writing the series on the ghost phenomenon of the UFO when the word reached me of his passage, the nearly imperceptible sense of the reverberations of this butterfly effect in the loss of one human life, in me, that is to say, this loss to me remains, prodding me to write when I would certainly prefer not to. Memory and an empty chair. Mr Tonnies drank deeply in the waters of the future, which leads me to return to the past, as if they were one and the same. Perhaps they are.

In my strange extra-dimensional and experiential dreams of the future, they closely resemble those of the protagonist in Roman Polanski's film, The Pianist. Whether I am in an abandoned apartment, a coastal ruin, a corporate work camp, or part of the great southwest migration to the inland freshwater seas, I return to this waking life and look around me..as some oddly divided observer witnessing that the purpose of life is to manage the economy or the war, or our allies and foes. All of these are end runs, a babble of self abstractions. The powerlessness to manage our affairs by governance will exponentially increase with complexity and time. What goes up must come down. We are in the midst of a Ponzi Scheme where allegedly thermodynamics do not apply. Again, I am between these worlds, seemingly the lone keeper of a certain poignancy when viewing the present, when I overhear technology will solve our problems whether it comes from Washington DC or Planet X.

"How has that worked for you so far?" asks my mysterious friend.

Ask the ever psychopathic Dr Frankenstein.



In this parallel universe, I randomly walk into the dust of an empty apartment in a strange, unfamiliar city and am stunned to find that all the furniture is mine. I had forgotten I had lived here. How many more exist? The corporate banners violently flap in the desert above our heads in this refugee camp. The community of circumstance gathers at night around an enormous bonfire fed by the debris of suburban homes gathered by sudden, common goals. One of which is to keep warm at night. The alpha and the omega.


We traveled a long way to arrive here as we as those who are cognizant of this are all strangers in a strange world. In this the human race is in denial. Haven't we names for nearly everything in a world where knowledge and information has exceeded being? It took a longer time for us to unravel the inbred conditioning of an alien world in isolation, living in a dream with eyes wide open than it did to recover from our collective amnesia when the power was cut off. This from the future, no doubt, right?

Ignorance Is Not Bliss
In this our mysterious friends know more about us than we do ourselves."Shhh...not in front of the children." After the passage of centuries,the humans are arguing over who owns the Earth when it is abundantly self evident that no one does.

The hope in this? These same mysterious friends say the humans are at their best when things are at their worst. Just give them enough rope. When we know and are capable of seeing with our eyes that this innocent child or this person, whether it is a stranger, or someone in our family can perish at any moment, both the fragility and the inestimable value of one life let alone millions of them creates suffering of a kind we can either chose to transform ourselves with this impetus in mind, before we attempt to do so in others, or simply succumb to the fate of the larger world.

We invent the future that we will face. No one else. No God, nor machine nor alien will or can achieve what only we can. When you eliminate the face from the mirror, what are you left with? Mac Tonnies was our secret sharer in this simple yet astonishingly complex game of the future. Forget 2012. G.I Gurdjieff once wisely observed that you do not have to possess psychic powers to predict what will happen tomorrow if nothing changes today. In this, by way of a sad navigation between worlds, I suggest to you, is a truth, it is both the vast promise or the terrible defeat we face now, not in some distant future. Are we in a better position not to be burdened by the dreams of the future, or simply live for the moment?

At some forgotten crossroad, I am alone, holding a handful of dead leaves in one hand and an empty suitcase in the other, hapless and helpless in where I have found myself in the terrible mercy of knowing the road ahead. Superstition comes in many forms and results in many behaviors that in the light of day, create the remorse we cannot mend, informed by that only in hindsight, uncertainty may have been a wiser route to take than it's polar opposite, our inbred assumptions concerning not only the paranormal as "the other" but those who would use this demonizing process to rationalize,justify and manipulate fear. The only thing we have to fear is ourselves.

The Death of Mac Tonnies

A Eulogy For A Prodigal Son


"I myself but write one or two indicative words for the future,
I but advance a moment only to wheel and hurry back in the
darkness.

I am a man who, sauntering along without fully stopping, turns a
casual look upon you and then averts his face,
Leaving it to you to prove and define it,
Expecting the main things from you."
-Walt Whitman, Poets of The Future

"I propose that this intelligence has played a significant role in hastening our species' development as well as keeping us in a periodic "standby" state, rendering us less likely to destroy ourselves. In a way, the human legacy has been scripted to conform to an alien template about which we know nothing. But the available historical, mythological and experiential evidence tends to support a largely benevolent raison d'etre. Perhaps we're being groomed in preparation for our own Singularity, after which the "others" could have no choice but to deal with us as equals."
-Mac Tonnies


Often in my posts, I have used the phrase "time is counted" in relation to acquiring a long term persistence by our pursuit of an equally long term and intentional aim, the one we can compare to the myriad of temporal,accidental or circumstantial ones that come and go as the weather, and these are, more often than not, impossible to recall with any specificity in our memory once a day has passed, while our originating intent and anticipation remain as a navigational course toward an unknown future.

One is reminded of the passage of a ship, a vessel through time, a metaphor recurring in the dreams of Lincoln, in that we all are in this passage, either pushing aginst the Spanish Doldrums, or steering ourselves away the charted,hidden dangers of the Tortuga or perhaps steeling ourselves against the inevitable violence encountered in the rounding the Horn of Africa, toward our own imminent dissolution in this current state, toward one yet to be experienced, and so it is with the history of civilizations, religion and the sciences..... seen in a lesser or greater mirror of our efforts, both historic and personal.. the inevitable resurrection of our founding anticipations, while we are yet challenged in the present tense,by reconnoitering the hope against hope, that fuels our despair and impatience.


In the post Civil War era in this country, there was the persistent memory of a once and future America in it's comparative innocence of youth, in dissolution, that was the passage between the agrarian past and the future aspirations of an industrial empire that was inhabited by the creative transcendentalists like Thoreau, Whitman or Emerson.

The symphonic music of Charles Ives comes to mind, torn between the idyllic passage of the seasons and the dissonant and frantic celebrations of the holidays attached to patriotism and industrial regimentation, there was a theme that peculated intermittently in his masterwork, The Holiday Symphony..that is called "The Unanswered Question"

Mac Tonnies, like the post modern prodigal son of an Emerson or a Whitman, found himself immersed in an epoch of transition lodged between the dissolution of the human spirit in what his forebears had foreseen in the industrialization of human ambition and the natural albeit unknown forces of "The Unanswered Question."

"A chief event of life is the day in which we have encountered a mind that startled us." -Ralph Waldo Emerson

Mac Tonnies extended this literary heritage toward posing it's relevant position in his readers, by having the courage to pose "The Unasked Questions" that in our time, are undoubtedly more relevant in an synthetic epoch of predigested, circular logic seen by Mr Tonnies, in his wisdom, in an equally historical frame, that of dissolution poised against the unanswered question of perhaps ourselves as cryptoterrestrials in search of a metaphysical context. Yesterdays Gods are today's immanent cybernetic creatures.

We have encountered an irreplaceable loss in the death of his keen observational skills, as well as the loss of the Mac Tonnies that will never be, the one approaching his sixtieth year, and all the work, all the creative effort we will never read, never ruminate upon that had yet to be discovered

Here was a young man who learned how to learn by his own bootstraps, a rare commodity in our corporately endowed abstractions, where time itself to question, time to gather, time to discern is in increasingly short supply for most.

In his long term aim in search of the "unanswered question", Mac Tonnies performed what what I would dare say call an undervalued, transpersonal service to the common man, like Whitman and Emerson or Thoreau before him, to follow his call of a "different drummer," in search of truth, regardless of how ugly or profound, or discomforting that truth may be, in our own time, as it was in other uncertain times.

I am again reminded of Daniel Burnham's quote which may be the most fitting to the character of Mac Tonnies and his quest.

"Make no little plans. They have no magic to stir men's blood and probably themselves will not be realized. Make big plans. Aim high in hope and work. Remembering that a noble, logical diagram, once recorded, will not die."
-Daniel Burnham

The heart that informs our intellect knows no bounds, nor the passage of time. May God speed you on your way, as we lag in your wake of your gifts, as a prodigal son.
