40 Years On, It's Time To Go Back.

Apollo16

Forty years ago today, men walked on another celestial body. Let's go back there.

As a child I watched in awe at the proceedings, the spectacle, riveted to the TV. It was marvelous. It was more, it was fantabulous. It caused serious, deep pride and excitement and a desire to learn. And it continued again and again and again until one day... it stopped.

It was perhaps an omen, that halt, as ever since then, the world has accelerated into decline. Maybe if we start up again, the world will turn around. Rose-colored glasses? Sure. But exploration and the continual sating of that ingrained human lust for knowledge can only lead to good things.

I want us to go back there.

Publicly. Properly. With no obfuscation.

There's so much to discover. So much.

So much to... dig up... and learn from.

Not to mention the resources.

We have the tech.

We must abandon the global course of chaos we're on and redirect those war funds and exploitative purposes to activities that will reap rewards for all.

Mr. Obama, do you have the balls?

Come on... let's go.

Could Man be from Mars?

(This article was originally published on the Book of Thoth's website, where it still appears.)

by Iggy Makarevich

Long has humankind wondered over our origins… how indeed did we come to be present upon this world? The possibilities seem endless, ranging from the view put forth by mainstream science that we evolved slowly as the final result of continual evolution tracing its beginning to the unicellular lifeforms which came into existence in the primordial pools of organic matter covering the ancient earth, to the faith-based religious view that we were created in the blink of an eye by the incomprehensible power of a deity to populate the world just created, to the more exotic view of our arrival here from a far distant world, a world perhaps no longer able to sustain further occupation by its residents.

This author has long favored the latter view, perhaps initially solely since it is more romantic, more exciting than the others. Of late, these perceptions and intuitions have become increasingly more forceful, in view of the gathering of information afforded us by our sciences, our space sciences in particular, information which seems on reflection and retrospection to reinforce the speculation that we may be from elsewhere.

Archaeologists have long realized that the pyramid complex at Giza in Egypt is a star map that closely follows the pattern form by the Pleiades star cluster and in the intervening years many other constructions made by our species have been found that also follow celestial patterns with remarkable accuracy. While in and of itself this merely shows a fascination with the sky, it may represent the manifestation of a deep memory, a longing for “home.”

The discovery of the famous Face on Mars opened up a new and exciting search for extraterrestrial archaeological discoveries. It is fascinating that throughout successive re-imaging efforts at higher and higher resolutions, and despite manipulative efforts at debunking, the Face structure still retains its symmetry and its remarkable resemblance to a face. A humanoid face. Research has shown that the other anomalous features discovered in the region of the Face and elsewhere show a geometric relationship to each other that is at the very least, quite provocative.

The thought that these features, while so individually unusual, have all managed to form from random geological processes into such precise relationships and alignments is perhaps even more anomalous than the conjecture that they were artificially built that way. The anomalies even continue under the surface, with infrared imaging turning up patterns that appear to our human perception as the foundations of buildings in citywide scale.

There are similarly anomalous formations across the Martian moon Phobos, (a peculiar object in it’s own right), and many more remarkably strange patterns and structures on our own Moon as well, formations that stretch the imagination and defy our knowledge of geological processes.

Combining these discoveries in space with the remarkable finds of out of place and especially out of time artifacts here on earth, such as patterns resembling footprints that are dated to hundreds of thousands of years, and similarly aged inexplicably formed objects from deep in mines and otherwise buried, to petroglyphs resembling dinosaurs in the American southwest and provocative formations that seem artificial deep under the sea lends an open mind to consider the possibility that indeed in time immemorial, a space faring people left a dying world to venture forth into space to locate a new home. Perhaps they colonized Mars at a time when its environment was suitable, and when whatever catastrophe befell that world resettled here or perhaps they settled both worlds simultaneously, only to continue on here, their journey long forgotten in the countless millennia since. Perhaps too their vehicle was our own Moon, itself an extraordinarily anomalous object, described by NASA scientists as being largely hollow as a conclusion of seismic testing and as being composed of materials older than our Earth.

How is it possible that all of these anomalies and the relationships that they hold to each other in form, pattern, placement and especially in concept be wholly natural? Such a conjecture seems difficult to grasp. Can “luck” be that pervasive, that thorough? It is the opinion of the author that all these things are intricately intertwined in a remarkable tale of extremely ancient events that led to the population of the Earth by humanity, a humanity that originates from somewhere else, somewhere that we may never know.

Dr. Michio Kaku - On Aliens & Civilizations

Dr. Kaku posted this video on the bulletin board yesterday and I felt I should post it. In it he lets loose with some decidedly proper thinking about the totally bone-headed approach that mainstream "scientists" use with regard to finding out if there are aliens out there. As a result, these doofi, entrenched in whatever dogma they're told to worship and sans the integrity, guts or imagination to do otherwise, are blown out of the water by someone who actually is a scientist. Let's just thank our lucky stars that there are dudes like Michio out there to offer us hope and perspective. It closes with commentary on multiverse theories relating back to the question of off-worlders and our lack of ability to comprehend, or even to actually perceive them. Nice. Refreshing.

Speaking of aliens, there's now online an extended version of the very cool Italian telescopic video recording of an object on a long journey just above the moon's surface. It now features close ups of the different sections appended. Same nifty score ;-).

And, yes, the trickster is still around, still hiding the bloody object of our desire. Don't know when or if ever the PfL will relent in her curse. I have chosen to be pleased in the thought that these negative energy fields and their manifestations return to their source multiplied by three. I'm rootin' for six-fold since it's screwed two of us

And so it goes...

UFO Observed On The Moon By Italian Astronomers

Well this is nice, with a very effective use of the score to get the mind going in the intended direction, too. I like it. The movement while transitioning through the "frames" looks a little odd, but that might be just a technical issue... or not. In any event, it looks rather similar to other videos I've seen of this nature, but never have I seen one of this length, following the thing through it's entire journey. It looks quite plausible.

If real, you know, to appear at that size in the frame this object would be at minimum a mile and very likely more in diameter, probably three or four, which, to me is exciting. It's hard for humans to imagine such a vast construct without going into total sci-fi/fantasy mode. It's hard for me as well. (I'm not feeling very human these past few days, sorry.)

Hopefully I can find out a bit on the alleged astronomer listed on screen... if he's real, then that's a very good thing. I'll see what I can find out between tasks.

Buncha Good Stuff In A Stream Of Semi-Consciousness

My God, it's been a wild few weeks, with more stuff poppin' into and back out of existence around me head than seems possible... this should be a cartoon, maybe. Then it'd seem more plausible.

Everything at least seems to be getting done with the exception of plying for trade, but there's less and less time for that of late with my new duties of keeping my dear old auntie out of trouble and eating right, at least until I get the hang of it better. Which is coming along in a mind version of "just-in-time" inventory, but really, it's pretty strange going... ahh... time management... a big issue for the iGsTer...

So Sky just told me of an absolutely horrific discovery she found out about on her friend Mick Farren's very nice blog Doc 40 about extremely rich assholes who run around the arctic shooting polar bears, as if the Republican's devastation of their environment and apparent plan to nearly eliminate it from the Earth wasn't bad enough. This is just repulsive in the extreme. Really pissed at this news. I like Mick's dream, a heli, an AK47, with rich turds in the crosshairs. I'm right there on the other flank, dude... can't give these excuses for human beings a way to escape. I haven't been able to bring myself to read it yet, but if you want to get the skinny on these $200,000 dollar jaunts of pure immorality, the story is here in The Independent out of the UK. Jeezus H. Kreist!

People like that make it hard to live without thoughts of violence. They're pretty well as bad as Rice and Gonzales and Company, except the latter kill innocent people of course.

Whoa excuse me while I shiver that shite away in favor of some very interesting pieces I was reading over at the Boomslanger blog's moon page division about anomalies on the strange orb from a mining engineer's perspective... and then the dude starts talking about some fantastically odd revelations he's uncovered about the International Space Station. I recommend checking it out... what you'll find there will get your gray matter humming along very nicely. Dude's taking a 'round the outside flank approach to research and it seems to be a good plan. He ponders such things as why it seems to take the Russian supply ships twice as long to get to the station as it does to get to the moon, why they don't aim at the station initially but take a very odd route and only get there at the end, and about the bizarre cargo... multiple tons of fresh fruit and veg... fresh fruit and veg? TONS? There are only three people on the thing. Just exactly wtf is going on up there?

Oh my, my... clock's tickin,' best cut this short... much to do, not a lot of time to do it...

Strange Crustacean, Strange Craft

One strange and rather primordial crustacean.
I don't know if this is a hoax or not and quite frankly I don't really care, I just like this creature. It looks so ... primordial... and vicious. Can't you just see those arms clamping shut, impaling it's next meal? Certainly would be interesting to meet one live, wouldn't it? The photo itself is very nicely composed and if it's Photoshop, it's a lot better effort than a lot of the bozos out there have been doing lately. Of course one can't really say much of anything at 72dpi unless there are serious flaws. Folks need to remember that. Same for Flash.

Apollo 20 closeup of craft- (?) type object on the moon.
Supposedly this comes from Apollo 20. Yes, I know there wasn't an Apollo 20, officially speaking. I see no reason to think that there couldn't have been, however. This object, whatever it may be... IS on our moon, and can be found in several Apollo 15 and 17 photo sequences. I snagged them all, well, all the ones I could find, in high res and will be scoping them out at some point. Sure doesn't look like something a geological process could account for... although a geologist I am not. I do know two though and may ask them for an opinion at some point.
