"On 11-11, 2010, one million people across the globe will mentally project a unified vision of a new paradigm for our species... a new reality. The very real physics that connects human consciousness with molecular structure will be harnessed en masse during the largest scale simultaneous manifestation transmission in recorded history."
Actually, this is an 11 day event, culminating on the 11th, so it's happening now. If you're interested, link up and pass it on..
What's left of the "Right/Left"-paradigm-believer in me was a little depressed as to how today's election results would play out. For me, it's not so much the transfer of power (It's cyclical, and spiraling tighter..), it's the sheer obvious-ness of America's massive and collective Attention Deficit Disorder and catastrophic lack of fundamental and recent history, political, economic, and otherwise. It's the dark, murky cynicism shown in the more aggressive of political ads, not only for the opponent, but towards the voting populace. You will believe anything I say if the accompanying soundtrack is scary enough.. It's the chasm between what was promised and what (and in what form) was delivered. I'm immersed and obsessed and disgusted by the entire process.
So I didn't watch. I got a few updates from the net, watched Modern Family episodes, The Nanny Marathon, and surfed the net. And I feel much more peaceful than I would have subjecting myself to the non-stop poison disguised as "political discorse" that dominates the MSM. And, whatever the result, I didn't want tonight's results to remove focus from November's(and beyond) considerations. According to many sources, the Shit Is Coming, possibly within one week. Here are just a few.. "considerations" to file underneath the umbrella term "Global Tipping Point."
Earth changes: Iceland and Indonesia(!!) getting ready to blow.. Literally.
Stuxnet and the new cyber-warfare:
From Urban Survival.. Coping: Fears of Stuxnet - the Anagram & Heysham /Italics:
Although we've covered the possibility that "Son of Stuxnet" could be the kind of problem that sets off our 'tipping point' next week, the prospect had actually been a ways down my list of 'suspects' since I hadn't previously spent much time figuring out what a massive disruption to the internet would do to everyday life.
But, upon inspection, the impacts of an attack, directed at key machine hardware in high level internet router equipment could be HUGE. And that's putting it mildly.
To start with, a colleague of mine - a high level academic - called on Monday to say that one of his colleagues who was one of the 'early draft picks' to be involved with the cybersecurity efforts against terrorism was a bit freaked out over the possibility.
"Seems that the design of the Stuxnet virus was really head and shoulders above what the cyber warfare people had been anticipating," he began. "This was a very sophisticated virus which would have taken dozens of people years to create..."
We chatted a bit more and I idly started to list some of the impacts of a Stux-type attack if it were directed against the whole internet via the high-level routers that are in place.
*Finances would seize up. Not more online stock trading.
*No more ATM - few if any credit cards would work.
*AC power systems could fail because much of the admin traffic to run the SCADA systems transits the physical transport layers of 'the net'
*And along with that, much of the public switched telephone network would go down for the same reason - PSTN packets transit them, too.
Then there are wire transfers, orders for things like warehouse reorder levels and so on...
I stopped jotting down the impacts, because it was just the kind of thing that could account for a) Clif's "data gap" that we've been nattering on about for what, a year now? If you're new, the rickety time machine project which uses conversations on the whole of the internet (less emails and private traffic of course) to figure out likely futures - and sometimes, it's been really very much on target. Here next week, we come into what we expect, based on language shift, to be a huge 'tipping point' which will last at least under mid-January of 2011. It would also, b), account for the curious language shift around this 'tipping point' - really the only major one globally since 9/11, which is the first one we caught back in mid 2001.
---
As usual, if I have any question about anything having to do with computers, I get on the phone to Clif and ask him for an assessment of Stuxnet - and his answers were anything but reassuring... a couple of notes and ponder points follow which I've written down best I can recall them from a guy who captured a chucnk of stuxnet and took it apart to see what's in it, using some of the old-school tools like the EXE to BIN converters that still run on W98 machines......
Stuxnet was a very complex piece of code. But complex not so much in the sense that it carried a lot of libraries on board, but because it was many 'open calls' deep in the code that were, best I can decrypt our conversation, designed to go out and look for local libraries and local devices.
These 'open calls' mean that Stuxnet could be looking for more than a single device class. Oh, sure, the Siemens PLC (programmable logic controllers) were the first device-specifics, but seems that the 'freak out' at the academic level is that there may be other devices on its shopping list.
The virus is huge as viruses go. Guys like Clif are mighty proud of being able to write compact code, and some of the versions of his Vortex Reader software (originally written for screen display of individual words - in flicker-fashion to provide for high speed reading - was extremely small - under 40 kilobytes. Stuxnet, by comparison is over a megabyte and it doesn't carry big libraries around.
This leads - at least to a programmer of some competence - to the idea that the libraries which are called by the sections of Stuxnet that haven't 'gone active' may have been previously 'positioned'.
Evidence that the Sun is becoming.. energetically unstable..
Again with all the fuckin' warlike behavior..
What if the US Dollar collapses and dies, almost overnight?
Not to mention food, water, and employment shortages..
Some of the woo-woo predictors include the webbots (radio interview through here), Timewave Zero (theory here), Bulgarian prophet Baba Vanga, the Federal Reserve, Astrological influences..
And then there's this nagging, persistent.. foreknowledge that these circumstances just.. can't.. remain.. the.. same. It feels like we all have a ringside seat for the manifestation of the meeting of immovable object versus irresistable force.. And the results of that confrontation will alter all of us from here on out. A feeling, but a very specific feeling, and I am definitely not alone in feeling this way..
Be back tomorrow.
It all starts soon.
Whatever it is, is almost manifest.
Whatever it turns out to be will change Everything.
Here we go..
Nibiru expert and author Zecharia Sitchin passed away this month. The family did a good job of keeping Sitchin's death quiet until early last week, in fact it's a little odd.. From the post/Italics:"It appears that many (including some who actually knew him) are surprised to hear of Zechariah Sitchin's passing in such an odd manner. It is certainly a mystery to me why no obituary or press release went out about this great man at the time just after his actual passing or why no mention was made until weeks after his funeral...and only then through an obscure PR website".I don't see a conspiracy afoot in the news delay of Sitchin's death; After all, what would it be? Estate/Inheritance related and family infighting scenarios, maybe, but the information of his passing serves no larger purpose that I can see. So.. Sad circumstances and an odd obituary situation, but nothing more.. Sitchin's site.
Letter: BP, Halliburton knew of flaws in cement in Gulf oil spill well. Friggin' ridiculous excerpts in italics:Oil giant BP and contractor Halliburton knew of potential flaws in the cement slurry used to reinforce the oil well below the Deepwater Horizon rig before it exploded in April, according to a letter Thursday from the lead investigator for a federal probe of the Gulf oil disaster.The letter from Fred Bartlit Jr. to the National Commission on the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and Offshore Drilling said that tests in February on a cement slurry similar to what was used on the Macondo well showed instability -- and that both companies had the data..."Halliburton and BP both had results in March showing that a very similar foam slurry design to the one actually pumped at the Macondo well would be unstable, but neither acted upon that data," the letter said.""Halliburton (and perhaps BP) should have considered redesigning the foam slurry before pumping it at the Macondo well," the letter continued.The news caused Halliburton stock to drop in value by almost 8 percent by the end of trading Thursday, to $31.68 a share. U.S. Rep. Edward Markey, D-Massachusetts, called for the oil spill commission to get full subpoena power, and for BP CEO Bob Dudley to agree to testify before Congress."The fact that BP and Halliburton knew this cement job could fail only solidifies their liability and responsibility for this disaster," Markey said in a written statement. "This is like building a car when you know the brakes could fail, but you sell the cars anyway."
Hey look! The perfect example of the failure of Government de-regulation regarding corporate safety practices, and all it took was a catastrophic environmental disaster that is far from over, far from "capped." Rather, the consequences of this disaster are just beginning to bloom. And there are no doubts this fruit will be poisonous..
Not literally, people; come on.. Failure Shuts Down Squadron of Nuclear Missiles. Excerpts/Italics:President Obama was briefed this morning on an engineering power failure at F.E. Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming that took 50 nuclear intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), one-ninth of the U.S. missile stockpile, temporarily offline on Saturday.The base is a main locus of the United States’ strategic nuclear forces. The 90th Missile Wing, headquartered there, controls 150 Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic nuclear missiles. They’re on full-time alert and are housed in a variety of bunkers across the base.....engineers believe that a launch control center computer (LCC), responsible for a package of five missiles, began to “ping” out of sequence, resulting in a surge of “noise” through the system. The LCCs interrogate each missile in sequence, so if they begin to send signals out when they’re not supposed to, receivers on the missiles themselves will notice this and send out error codes.Since LCCs ping out of sequence on occasion, missileers tried quick fixes. But as more and more missiles began to display error settings, they decided to take off-line all five LCCs that the malfunctioning center was connected to. That left 50 missiles in the dark. The missileers then restarted one of the LCCs, which began to normally interrogate the missile transceiver. Three other LCCs were successfully restarted. The suspect LCC remains off-line.And:The defense official said that there had not been a power failure, though the official acknowledged that that explanation had made its way through public affairs channels. “We’ve never had something as big as this happen,” a military officer who was briefed on the incident said. Occasionally, one or two might blink out, the officer said, and several warheads are routinely out of service for maintenance. At an extreme, “[w]e can deal with maybe 5, 6, or 7 at a time, but we’ve never lost complete command and control and functionality of 50 ICBMs.” The Military says this happened previously in 1998 to two bases in North Dakota and Montana, and the same piece of hardware is blamed, too(see article linked), but I find the timing and magnitude of this incident particularly disturbing. I can't imagine the same programming/system problem that happened twelve years ago happened again because they couldn't isolate the bugs. 1998 was the Stone Age in cybertime, so no progress finding a fix? Really? Rating: Highly Suspect to Unadulterated Bullshit.So.. What caused it? How did the Military lose command and control of one ninth our ballistic missiles? Escalating tensions between North and South Korea, China and Japan, Israel and Iran, Russia and Georgia, stealth cyber warriors everywhere and nowhere at once, and something locks up our nukes? And what if something were to actually take control of those nukes and turn them inward?Have you noticed no one's talking about Stuxnet anymore? It must have just dissolved and gone away overnight..
From BBC. Excerpts:Indonesia has raised the alert for its most volatile volcano, Mount Merapi, to its highest level and warned villagers in threatened areas to move to safer ground.And:Officials said about 500 volcanic earthquakes had been recorded on the mountain over the weekend."The magma has been pushed upwards due to the escalating seismic energy and it's about a kilometre below the crater," AFP news agency quoted government volcanologist Surono as saying.The region is active. If the sun pops off a big enough CME in the next few days, we might see some real seismic activity, with both quakes and volcanoes striking this same area. The conditions seem perfect for some big destruction..
Vatican body asks UN to 'end Israeli occupation' Key excerpts in italics:Israel cannot use the Biblical concept of a promised land or a chosen people to justify new "settlements" in Jerusalem or territorial claims, a Vatican synod on the Middle East said on Saturday.And:US-brokered peace talks have stalled since Israel rejected appeals to extend a temporary moratorium on settlement construction in the West Bank that expired last month.Since the freeze expired, Israel has announced plans to build another 238 homes in two east Jerusalem neighborhoods, drawing the condemnation of Palestinians and world leaders.In a separate part of the document, a section on cooperation with Jews, the synod fathers also took issue with Jews who use the Bible to justify settlements in the West Bank, which Israel captured in 1967."Recourse to theological and biblical positions which use the Word of God to wrongly justify injustices is not acceptable," the document said.Many Jewish settlers and right-wing Israelis claim a biblical birthright to the West Bank, which they call Judea and Samaria and regard as a part of historical, ancient Israel given to the Jews by God.Asked about the passage at a news conference, Greek-Melchite Archbishop Cyrille Salim Bustros, said:"We Christians cannot speak about the promised land for the Jewish people. There is no longer a chosen people. All men and women of all countries have become the chosen people."The concept of the promised land cannot be used as a base for the justification of the return of Jews to Israel and the displacement of Palestinians," he added. "The justification of Israel's occupation of the land of Palestine cannot be based on sacred scriptures."This is big. The Vatican is criticizing THE Fundamental Justification of Israel's Military Strategy and doing it to the United Nations. Whatever your thoughts are on either organization doesn't matter. It doesn't matter that this bit of information means jack-shit your little corner of the world. To the entities involved, this is a big slap in the face and won't be forgotten anytime soon. My prediction is that Israel will take a much more defensive posture, thereby escalating tensions, not only in the region(including Iran), but with Russia, China, and the U.S. What alliances actually occur is something I won't speculate on, at least, not at the moment..
Corn Syrup Lobby Courts Mommybloggers, Gets Spanked. Excerpts/Italics:Some scientists and food experts, including the well-regarded sustainable food advocate Marion Nestle, have argued that high fructose corn syrup is really no worse, nutritionally speaking, than traditional refined table sugar, which is certainly no health food. But mounting evidence suggests that subtle chemical differences between the two sweeteners might cause HFCS to affect the body differently than regular sugar, in potentially harmful ways. A 2007 Rutgers University study linked HFCS in soda to diabetes. There was the revelation in 2008 that some brands of HFCS contained traces of mercury. Then a Princeton study, published just this March, connected high fructose corn syrup consumption to obesity in rats.As a result of all the bad publicity associated with these scientific findings, more than 50% of Americans now believe high fructose corn syrup may pose a health hazard. Sales of high fructose corn syrup have plummeted as manufacturers scramble to replace HFCS with familiar, old-fashioned table sugar.So last month, the Corn Refiners Association, a trade organization that lobbies the U.S. government on behalf of corn processors, launched a campaign to change the name of high fructose corn syrup to corn sugar.Along with the usual press releases and web site, there's this..Specifically, the CRA approached bloggers who write compensated product reviews for MomCentral, a targeted social media marketing organization whose clients include such corporate giants as Unilever, Bayer, and Procter and Gamble....For the Corn Refiners Association, MomCentral arranged a webinar for blogger members, where attendees were apparently treated to a CRA sponsored presentation of evidence that high fructose corn syrup, a.k.a. "corn sugar," and traditional table sugar are nutritionally equivalent and affect the body in exactly the same way. The bloggers were then paid, with Walmart gift certificates, to write about what they had learned from the CRA.And:The blogger backlash against the CRA / MomCentral corn sugar marketing campaign was swift and severe. Prominent members of the parent blog community, including Mom-101's Liz Gumbinner, Work It Mom's Mir Kamin, and Christine Koh of Boston Mamas, came out strongly against the marketing campaign, calling the CRA messaging misleading and taking the bloggers who repeated CRA's assertions uncritically to task for failing to do their own research on high fructose corn syrup to present more balanced reviews. These tactics aren't working. The public is becoming aware of the dangers of HFCS, not only through information, but also by becoming aware as to how they personally feel, in response to ingesting High Fructose Corn Syrup. The industry has lost ground, but don't expect them to give up: They'll just change tactics, again.
Abstinence-Only States Have More Teen Pregnancy. Excerpt/Italics:While US teen pregnancy rates are falling overall, some states currently have dramatically higher rates than others, according to a new CDC study—and they just happen to be states emphasizing abstinence-only sex education. In New England, for example, 2008 birth rates stood at less than 25 per 1,000 teens ages 15 to 19. But in Mississippi, Arkansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas, rates run higher than 60 per 1,000 teens.Sex Education=Less pregnancies, less unwanted children, less societal dysfunction, less resource depletion. It always, Always tracks back to Education..
Even though it comes from a far out source.. Pentagon Fired On As America Nears All-Out Civil War. I don't know if "Civil War" is imminent or not, but the official line is complete and utter crap. Six random shots to the Pentagon, the military hub of the most powerful nation in the world, all-encompassing surveillance from all angles at all hours, and no one sees a thing? Sure. Sounds like a gangbanger or a hot-head or some tourist with a beef, right?
At least two dead after shooting in Russia’s Chechen parliament. When Russia storms in and shoots up the place, we'll join CNN International for Breaking News and continuing coverage..
"What are the 7/7 Bombings?" Germain Lindsay doesn't sound like a Suicide Bomber to me, either. Excerpts/Italics:Mr. Fayad Patel was employed as a customer service assistant by London Underground and was on duty at a barrier at the end of a ‘gate line’ near the main ticket hall in King’s Cross underground station. Mr Patel, sometime between 08:15 and 08:45 was approached by a man he later identified as being Germain Lindsay – who, we are told, shortly afterwards murdered 26 people on a tube train travelling between King’s Cross and Russell Square.According to Mr. Patel’s evidence to the court, Mr. Lindsay told Mr Patel that he “wanted to speak to the “duty Manager”…..then later “It’s something very important.” Patel had earlier given this testimony in 2006 under oath, and here repeated it without change. Patel gave an equally startling and unexpected reply to Lindsay: “Well, we’re quite busy at the moment because of, obviously, with the station control.” – The what?Mr Patel described to the Inquest how delays on the Northern Line, on National Rail and perhaps elsewhere that morning meant that “the entire Tube gate line area was congested and we’d implemented a station control to try and minimise the flow of passengers.” (Empasis author, not me)This involved shutting escalators off, shutting the main entrance and exit points and then periodically opening them as and when appropriate. Therefore unusual controls were being imposed on the main concourse at King’s Cross. Passengers were being delayed and, as Mr Patel says later, getting angry and “abusing” staff.The Police were also coming into the station..Q. Do you know why they were there?
A. I believe they were just passing through or they were going to a training course or something, and they heard about — and they came to help.Q. What had they heard about? A. They had just heard that there’s some kind of problem or some kind of power failure or — at King’s Cross...So this is the scene confronting the ‘suicide bomber’ Lindsay as he arrives at King’s Cross underground station on the morning of 7/7.And:The question arises…. What goes through the mind of a suicide bomber during his final hour on earth?We already know from Inquest evidence given previously during the week that he arrived early in the car park at Luton station, dozed off while waiting for the others in his car and got given a parking ticket while asleep.That’s one relaxed suicide bomber.Now, inside King’s Cross, he sees hordes of angry people being prevented from moving around the station and he has something “very important” to say to the station Duty Manager. (Mr Patel found it very unusual that Lindsay would use this specific term for the man in charge. Normally people ask for ‘the foreman’ or ‘the supervisor’)And:The obvious point here is that the idea of a SUICIDE BOMBER wanting to approach a station manager to sort out an issue, however serious, is utterly, utterly ridiculous.To any reasonable person this fact alone should prove that Germain Lindsay was definitely NOT a suicide bomber.Great article. Read the whole thing. There's so much I didn't include.. I've always thought 7/7 was horseshit--Terror drills happening where terror just so happens to also occur? Sure.. I wonder what the statistics are for such combination drill-into-real-event-events?This is also my introduction to this site, so I'll probably be posting much from here at a later time.
From NewScientist Math nerds take note: Excerpts/Italics:"WHAT do earthquakes, spinning stellar remnants, bright space objects and a host of other natural phenomena have in common? Some of their properties conform to a curious and little known mathematical law, which could now find new uses.A subject of fascination to mathematicians, Benford's law states that for many sets of numbers, the first or "leading" digit of each number is not random. Instead, there is a 30.1 per cent chance that a number's leading digit is a 1. Progressively higher leading digits get increasingly unlikely, and a number has just a 4.6 per cent chance of beginning with a 9.And:...such distributions are "scale-invariant": if you convert the units of the numbers in the set, from metres to yards, say, the set will still conform to Benford's law."There's more, but you've either tuned out or clicked the link, so I'm done..
UFO Sighting Witness By Thousands Over Chelsea, New York, USA Oct 13, 2010. Video here..UFO's over Golden Gate Bridge on Live webcam - 10/13/2010(video) (Interesting video of a forum discussing this footage.)And a really freaky one..Village in China disappears after UFO sightings On October 13, 2010 Google translation here.. Crazy f/n video here. The person taping this is too far off to get a detailed view of whatever the hell was going on, but a blue and white light that changes color, lights up the sky, and moves coupled with that wall of chaos sound.. This one strikes me as true, as the people within mic distance of that camera sounded freaked out, and unsure of what was happening. And the military supposedly has the whole thing cordoned off. Weird, I tells ya..None of this is conclusive, though. I still can't decide: Is this Contact or Hoax?Another thought: Conspiracy forums and theorists always have the next "doom date" that something major is project to happen. Usually, they are "misses." Even if these UFO's are debunked, this would constitute a "hit," as a much larger collective of our consciousness became focused on the subject of aliens and UFO's on this day, October 13, 2010..
