Tabby Skools a Rat

Wolfangry "That's an internet theory and it's hopelessly implausible. Hopelessly implausible. So hopelessly implausible I don't see any point in talking about it."

- Noam Chomsky, on 9-11 as an inside job

=================================================================

Chomsky said:

When you take a natural event, not something that was controlled, most of it will be unexplained. There'll be all sorts of things that happened, afterwards you can put them into some kind of pattern  but beforehand you can't and the pattern may be completely meaningless because you could put them into some other pattern too, if you want. That's just the way complicated events are.

But we here at Tabby Cat Central sneer and jeer when we hear such BS. If that's your attitude, then there is no point to investigate any crime, because the world is just too complicated to ever solve anything outside of a fully controlled replicable lab science experiment. In that case the theory of evolution is also out the window, along with a lot of other bathwater and babies.

What kind of a self-respecting detective or prosecutor would say something as purely asinine as the Chomsky quote above? And to think, this is the guy adored by millions of mindless and spineless Lefties as their Ultimate Pundit and Pandit. This is the guy supposedly hated and feared by the Big Bad Establishment, yeah right.

A god damn sheep in wolf's clothing.

That's All We Ask

Dungeon The other day I caught the latest remake of  Body Snatchers, titled Invasion (I think it is The Invasion in USA release).

What can one say? This whole theme, the orginal novel and the now 4 movie versions (1956, 1978, 1993, 2007) has become such a tiresome cliche that it's easy to miss the fact that something like this is really happening.

Not that this latest Invasion is all that great. It is not a complete bomb, but it's very far from the exquisite creepiness of the 1978 version. And can you believe it (I don't think any reader of this blog cares about spoilers), they twisted it into a happy ending. Actually the 1956 movie has a semi-happy resolution, where the mil.gov steps in to stop the spread of the pod people. The 78 version, on the other hand, had an absolute creep-you-the-fuck-OUT perfectly, gorgeously, horrible ending. One of the best endings in any movie ever made. But now Hollywood just cannot tolerate any ending where Truth, Justice, and the American Way don't ultimately prevail.

Hollywood creative people are really confused. One one hand, they are very prescient. Milgov people are among the first viral takeovers and the movie is set in the Washington DC area, implying a healthy suspicion of the USA milgov. They seem to want to creep stealthily towards the idea that our own USA milgov is going fascist on us, ever since they staged 9-11. But I guess the Hollywood guys' CIA handlers will only let them have so much leash because, inevitably, the USA milgov Saves the Day in the end.

There was a good scene where a bunch of podded-up cops jump all over a random remaining human, and when the human resists "arrest" (conversion) they Taser him. Just like the cops who jumped all over Andrew Meyer at U Florida (yeh I know it's a big controversy, with all sides raging. Don't care and not taking sides on that actual incident. It is just an amusing visual similarity.)

Coincidentally I had just viewed the German upload of full Alex Jones new movie Endgame. Alex Jones might be a nutjob, as is often said. And he does tend play fast and loose with facts. But I respect his courage. And basically I think he's correct, the human race is being prepared for a cull-down followed by a lock-down. Or maybe it's going to be vice-versa.

But I wish these presentations, like Alex Jones', could be more intellectually sophisticated. He keeps talking about the horrifying threat of "One World Government" that will be ushered in by the vaguely scary-sounding "New World Order". Don't get me wrong, I hate all this techno lockdown stuff as much as anyone. But for logical completeness, somebody has to articulate, just what is so bad about a "One World Government" in the first place? If you look at most national governments of today, the entities that OWG opponents presumbly want to preserve, you see that most were cobbled together by forcibly uniting smaller regions and fiefdoms and tribes and so on, mostly within the past 500 years, though some unified nations go back much further. Look at how Toyotomi Hideyoshi melded together an actual unified Japanese nation out of a bunch of feuding fiefdoms. Same with Qin Shi Huang in  ancient China. And Garibaldi in Italy. So if that's all ok, then why not do it worldwide?

Anyway, nations - they are all drenched in human blood and built on human bone. Point being, why is government OK when it unifies the historically squabbling asshole warlords of a single region, but absolutely Satanic when that same concept is applied to the entire world? I don't get the reasoning there. And OWG might have some good side effects, such as ending wars.

Myself, I just don't like any form of government. They are all organized crime, because they all operate by force and violence, as stated beautifully by none other than George Washington himself:

Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.

That is the kind of rebellious smart-ass remark that nowadays would get him Tasered, cuffed, and elephant-tranqed in back of the patrol car faster than you can say "9-11".

So they are all bad. They are all gangsters, criminals, and pathological power-seekers. But why is one version of that worse than another? Maybe OWG really is so horrible, but that rationale needs to be made more explicit.

Anyway, whether we phrase it in terms of OWG/NWO or not, clearly whatever color the lipstick on this pig, the human race will be absolutely locked down. Those who resist will be killed, just as all large wild animals and all resisting indigenous people were killed. Check out Crazy Horse. Finally those who cannot or will not contribute to the sci/tech project, due to their inherent lack of smarts or any other reason, will also be killed.

So the last question is why? Why are there so many of these reptilian controller type of people out there, who want to lock down everyone else? I think its because they feel a kind of frustration. They want to enjoy earth life, but most of them are old, weak, out of shape, uncomfortable in their bodies. Secretly they wish they were sexy 19-year-old surfer dudes, scoring game with the chicks on the beach. But their bodies and minds don't fit the profile for that life. So if they can't have fun, they are going to make sure nobody else does either. If they are too sick and weak and old and creeped out and fucked up to get good sex, power is the next best thing.

There was one good line in Invasion:

"All you have to do is nothing. That's all we ask."

Outward Bound

Irish_cat In case any cave-dwellers out there still have any slightest doubt about  the  9-11 inside job hypothesis, take a gander at this clip, which assembles the overwhelming evidence for controlled demolition of the WTC towers.

One really amusing brain twister about this whole false-flag fake 9-11 Boxcutter Fairytale situation is that we are repeating exactly the supposed Big Mistake of pre 9-11, in a new, bigger, and more twisted way! Let me explain. In various 9-11 hearings, the excuse was repeatedly made about NORAD's failure to defend the Eastern seaboard that this failure was due to NORAD's mandate to look outward, not look inward and monitor and handle domestic threats.

Here's a typical sample 'looking outward' verbiage from among hundreds such I could adduce:

Maj. Gen. Craig McKinley
  It is and it was and I would just caveat your comment by saying that our mission   was, at that time, not designed to take internal FAA radar data, to track or   to identify tracks originating within our borders. It was to look outward as   a Cold War vestige, primarily developed during the Cold War to protect against   Soviet long-range bomber penetration of our intercept zone.

Richard Ben-Veniste, Commissioner
  Well I think Sir, you have used a good term – not good for the United States   but accurate, in terms of the vestigial mandate operationally to look outward   toward the borders rather than inward. And by vestigial, you mean I’m sure,   as a result of our decades of confrontation with the former Soviet Union.

Now here is the amusing irony, operating on a much larger scale than merely NORAD:

Since 9-11, all the vast intelligence and war power resources of the USA milgov have been turned "outwards", towards Islam and the middle East. Fight 'em over there or blood will be running in the domestic streets type of propaganda.

Yet since the terrorists were obviously operating within the USA milgov itself, we have this multi-hundred billion dollar behemoth once again looking outward instead of inward where the actual threat to the lives and liberty of the people of the USA really lies! AHAHAHAHAHAH!! It is just too funny to believe. The real terrorists are some small group of black op guys and the political moles who direct them, presumably scattered across various USA milgov agencies and services.

So in the future there'll be another hearing, like:

Congressman Buttefuch, Commissioner

So with all due respect, Sir, you are telling this Commission that in the post 9-11 period, the reason you never identified the actual domestic USA milgov terrorists is that you were looking outward? Focused on external illegal distant wars of imperial pillage, rather than dedicated to finding the actual terrorists? But wasn't this whole looking outward dodge the main pillar of the excuses offered up for the pre-9-11 period??

Michael Chertoff, DHS Head

Now let me correct one thing, Commissioner Buttefuch, if I may with all due respect, Sir. It is true that we were erroneously looking outward once again. But that isn't the main reason for the failure to identify the actual domestic USA milgov insider terrorists and enemies of the Constitution, and bring them to heel and hang them by the neck until dead as lawfully prescribed for all traitors. No Sir, the actual reason my agency never identified the real terrorists is that the fox was guarding the fricking henhouse, you goddamn fools! You see, I. WAS. ONE. OF. THEM. !! Aahahahaha! (pulls out a katana and commits seppuku on the House floor before anybody can stop him)

Or something to this effect.

I don't like Islam at all, myself personally. It is just another particularly ridiculous and distasteful mind control scam, like all other religions. But we gotta call a spade a spade. If we USAsters start deceiving ourselves and allowing ourselves to be bullshat like the people of Germany and Japan did in the 1930's, then we'll end up just like they did - in 1945.

The Mysore of Queensbury

Cheshire_2I train boxing a couple of hours most days, at a boxing gym conveniently located near a station on the JR Yamanote Line.

Boxing practice is like Mysore style yoga training. In a Mysore style Ashtanga yoga practice session, you work on your stuff at your own pace, on your own, in a room full of other students doing likewise. The teacher comes around observing and corrects, adjusts, or assists people now and then, here and there, as needed.

Boxing practice sessions are somewhat like that. You do your own thing with the bags and rope and sparring and so on, it's all round-timed. Then every few rounds or so you can do some work in the ring with the actual trainer or somebody really good. And they play good music in this place, a real thumping beat that is somehow perfectly timed to a good fast rope or speedbag pattern.

See, the main fun of boxing is its rhythmicity. It mirrors the structure of nature, you know, tides, waves, seasons, sunrises and all that kind of great rhythmic stuff. It is routinely as fun as only the very best dancing can be. As for the getting hit part, well ... after years of frequent pounding by the Ultimate Pandits of Punch (Vladimir Vasiliev and Mikhail Ryabko), somehow no other hits really bother me all that much. But of course that way of thinking is a mistake because sooner or later one of the tougher guys here is going to land a hook to my head at just the right moment and totally KO me cold. Then my brain will be even more scrambled up than it already is! Oh well. Small price to pay for the fun of this training ... I guess.

The only thing really missing from boxing training is that we don't do shavasana (corpse pose) at the very end, as we did in Ashtanga training. That would be the perfect marischino cherry on a good boxing workout, but sadly that concept is quite alien to boxing culture. You see, they are training so hard for just the opposite result, to remain vertical, ahaha.

But maybe I should innovate that into our local gym routine here? Yeah right.

Speaking of being dead, I feel that suicides have absolutely the wrong idea. I don't mean the dying thing per se is wrong, on that they are just slightly ahead of the curve so that's fine. It is their timing that's suspect! In the investment world there is a famous saying: Buy low and sell high. Of course, human nature being what it is, most average investors do exactly the opposite: Buy high and sell low. That's how the truly Big Boys make their money, scamming such rubes. But my point here is that suicides are like those bad small investors, they are "selling low", see, by killing themselves when they are so beaten down and depressed, basically just when their life sucks the worst!

Instead, if people are going to kill themselves, they need to do so when their life is at its best, when things are just peachy, at a peak moment. That would be good business philosohy, as stated above.

This idea is well-stated in the song Diamonds and Rust by Joan Baez. The relevant lyric is below:

Now I see you standing
With brown leaves falling around
And snow in your hair
Now you're smiling out the window
Of that crummy hotel
Over Washington Square
Our breath comes out white clouds
Mingles and hangs in the air
Speaking strictly for me
We both could have died then and there

That's about it, don't you think?

I remember in the Goethe version of Dr. Faustus, Mephistopheles tells Faust that there is one single escape clause in demonic contract that he has signed to turn over his soul to the devil as soon as he dies. If, before death, Faust can identify one single moment of perfect happiness, that he belives could never be bettered, then Meph will stop time for him there, and let him enjoy that moment forever. A kind of "Peak Happiness" concept if you will.  But Faust keeps second-guessing himself and can never quite bring himself to say "Now. This moment is it, I will never be happier than now, so freeze me here". Thus, in the end he dies in panic and agony and goes straight to Hell.

Not exactly a normal suicide of course, but basically just another bad small investor.

Tabby Cat's Illustrated Guide to Sexual Dimorphism

Spit!

I blather out all these words every day, and what does it get me? Nada that's what!

Despite the meteoric success of this Gamespace blog, don't I still live as humbly as ever, sleeping each night curled up in my Calpis beverage crate, hunkered behind a dumpster in a dirty alley opening off a sleazy Kabukicho sidestreet, licking the insides of old milk cartons to eke out a bare daily sustenance?

I really need to find a good monetization consultant to help me squeeze some bucks out of this blog...

So anyway, today I'll be a lazy Tabby and post only pics, which yours truly took with my own four paws yesterday on the streets of the Aoyama/Omotesando district of Tokyo.

They've been having a design competition around the theme of "Man and Woman". You can judge the results for yourself, pics of the large posters hung off street lamps all along Aoyama Doori appear below. The quality of my street photography is worth exactly what you pay me for it. Just like this blog.

There were more, but I've selected only the most dramatic ones.

Oh, and do please keep in mind won't you - should you find anything that disturbs or offends you here, please feel more than welcome to contact the Tabby Cat Customer Care Center, where my large professional staff of highly trained Customer Care Consultants is standing by day and night, eager to assist you with a hard shove as you take a long walk off a short pier! All of us here live by one goal alone: taking care of  you.

I'm only the roving photojournalist, I didn't hang this stuff up. So don't bother me about it.

Be Seeing You

Corona I once took a class on how to see auras. Auras are the visual correlate to the bio-energetic field that imbues and surrounds living things.

The class was offered by a fairly well-known New Age group whose bread-and-butter main thing is training people to do energy healing. I also took a bunch of their energy healing classes, just to get a feel for the endeavor, it being so hot these past 10 years or so. Well, for me of course it was just another checklist item.

Anyway, auras. The main instructor for the class was the local trainer/representative for this New Age group, whose Big Cheese guru lived in the Phillipines at that time (since deceased). But the Big Cheese guru had come in to personally train us in the earlier energy healing parts of the course and it was promised that he'd make a cameo appearance at the aura viewing session, towards the end.

The instructor gave us some ocular exercises, to help us learn to "soften" our eyes. It was continually emphasised that we mustn't have excessive expectations or be too earger to get the skill. That kind of attitude would only delay our getting it.

They had people stand in front of a variety of background panels, to try different effects. We also worked with a partner for short distance training.

I found that it was very easy to see the first level of aura (according to this group's categorization), which is a kind of grey, un-colored haze or visual distortion that emanates out about 6 inches or a bit less from every living thing (later I found out that EVERYTHING has this kind of aura, not only living things). That was interesting.

But everybody who thinks about auras wants to see COLORS. That's considered the real meat in the auric training sandwich. I think people want to see colors for the same genetically-hardcoded reason that we are obsessed with human faces, and the same reason that we love to gossip, so on. Because auric colors supposedly reveal a person's inner, hiddend qualities, strengths and weaknesses, emotional and medical conditions and so on, being able to see them easily would be a huge advantage in the vast human gamespace of unceasing jockeying and jostling for social and economic advantage. In a predatory world, reliable auric viewing would be just another poison arrow in the social huntsman's quiver. So much for all the New Agey prattle about ushering in a world of sweetness and light. It's all just business as usual, but we cannot admit that to ourselves, natch.

Anyway, I could see the gray have level quite readily. Colors I could see only in intermitent flashes, at least in that particular session. Later on, when trying my auric vision out in the field, I did much better with colors. Seeing the colors gives a very different feeling than seeing the outline of gray haze. First of all, the colors, even when transparent or pastel, have a startling vividness and immediacy, almost like a quick flash of a neon sign (though in actual hue values they are often pastel, as I said). If you can imagine a lit-up neon sign flashing pastel colors you wouldn't be far off the mark.

Later as my eyes got more sensitive, I realized that there are two kinds of para-normal color vision. The first is rather mundane - it is just seeing the PHYSICAL color corona of any colored object, especailly a brighly colored object. That isn't hard to do once you know how to soften your eyes. Now my eyes do that automatically, routinely, especially in bright sunlight everything has a bright and obvious physical color corona. Unfortunately ability to see this type of aura yields basically none of social intelligence benefits alluded to above, so as a good, normal, genetically programmed primate, one who seeks social domination and economic advantage over my fellows at all times, I pay it little mind.

The second kind of colored auric vision is when you see the classic full-body technicolor view of the non-physical aura itself. Of course there was a lot of jabber about multiple auric visual/energetic layers, self-contained in successive shells around the physical body like a Russian doll. Even at my best I have rarely seen that in its full glory, but I know it exists because I have occasionally seen it, when the background is just right and when I have time and pateience to start the viewing process perfectly.

So to summarize, when done with this training, I could see basically the following:

  • whitish/gray translucent body outline aura
  • physical reflective color aura (in strong sunlight)
  • occasional full colored mind/emotion stative aura

I remember the week after I returned from the auric training, I was at a meeting in my company and one of the guys I considered smartest was sitting quitely listening to somebody talk, and since he happened to be positioned just in front of a corporate whiteboard type of background, I defocused, softened my eyes, and was shocked to see a huge flash of brilliant sky blue burst all around this guys head and shoulders. Checking my course textbook at home that night, I found that (to this group anyway) a blue aura indicates intelligence.

I also later realized how easy it is to see the full-body aura of trees. Their auras are much stronger and more extensive than that of any human.

Anyway, as far as it goes, I have to say the whole thing more or less works and hangs together, in both theory and pratice.

Although it can be taken to comical extremes. In the last part of the training session I attended, the Big Cheese guru took the podium and we students were called on in turn to describe what aura, if any, we saw surruonding the Master. We all kind of squinted and scrunched our eyes (actually of course they had told us to relax our eyes and not try too hard when aura-viewing, but hey this was the Big Enchilada himself, and we were eager to shine as students and get a figurative gold star of praise pasted on our foreheads. This too is typical primate social behavior, so no biggie).

Anyway they then went around the room and asked what we saw. I said I had only seen the gray outline aura (normal for me). I sensed a slight chill of disapproval in the room at that. Apparently the Big Guy should be seen lit up like a Christmas tree, as I understood from  my classmates subsequent answers. They claimed to see practically a whole Las Vegas revue show going on in the Teacher's aura, gold and diamonds and so on. And the unspoken implication was obviously that this gentleman's specialness and Holiness and advanced spirituality and all such gunk was patently visible in his aura. It may have been so. I can only report what I personally saw, which wasn't all that much as I said. But what you can expect from a 1-day beginner student?

The comedic high point came when one young man stated that he saw a giant dog figure etherically surrounding the Great One, up on the stage. He apparently meant that as some kind of praise, but The Big Cheese Guru guy was definitely displeased to hear this, and the resident local instructor person audibly sucked in his breath at the gaffe. You see, the Big Cheese guru guy was ethnic Chinese. And in Chinese traditional culture, dogs are baaaaad things, dirty and crummy and so on. So it was an unwitting cultural insult. The local teacher guy started to intervene to contain the embarassement - "probably as a beginner you are mistaking what you saw blabbitty blah blah...". But to his credit, the young student guy landed on his feet, rather nimbly I thought - he clearly realized his mistake and after babbling for a moment he recovered by saying "Wait ... wait... I am seeing more clearly now, it isn't actually a dog figure I see, but rather it is the Great Sphinx of Egyt, surrounding and protecting the Guru...". Ahahaha! Good save bro!

I did begin to wonder, if the aura is an informationally stable and useful phenomenon, how can it appear radically different to every single viewer? None of the student viewers agreed on the basic visual structure, and certainly not the details, of the Great Man's aura!

They also had us do elementary breathing and meditative exercises, then check with a partner how our arua had been affected. It seems that just doing a little deep breathing or thinking about something nice radically aftects your aura! I was surpised at that, and from then on I pretty much discounted the practical value (social and economic primate dominance utility) of aura viewing as a real-world skill. Because if the aura changes so radically and so quickly in response to such trivial transient stimulii, it isn't going to show us anything deep that we can use to get our fellow chimps into a hammerlock as we all seem to long to do. So after that I realized that aura viewing, though based on something true in a way, and certainly an amusing pastime, is unfortunately pretty much useless for the kinds of things we really care about (money, sex, power ... you know!)

Anyway, another funny thing I realized later is that you can see your own aura. No, I don't mean looking at your own face in a mirror, or holding your hand up to a dark background, everybody knows all about that easy stuff. I mean you can see your own aura from the inside out - so that it actually covers your vision of anything external to it. It's as though you are wrapped in a cocoon, existing as a head to toe spindle or cyclone of colored silk, which is normally invisible to you, you are looking out at the world straight through that self-wrapping, as through transparent glass. But if you are in a heightened energy state and sufficiently relaxed you can see the wrapper itself, it visually solidifies and you see your own aura from the inside out! Most amusing when that happens (though equally useless).

But to me, the most fun auric thingie is to see the massive swarm of energy bugs that populate every clear blue sky. Yap, it is so, the sky is always filled with a giant ominpresent covering swarm of energy bugs, they are present all over the air at all times, but they only become visible (to me anyway) when seen against a clear blue sunlit sky. They are yellowish/orange color and they swarm and zip and streak around crazily more or less same as the frantic mindless milling of microbes or protozao seen through a hi-power microscope. These energy bugs are what we breathe all the time, they are what puts the zing in the ki (Japanese word for air) of the earth's atmosphere. For some reason it is really really fun to view these. There are noticably fewer of these in the skies of industrialized or heavily urban areas. They are most lively and numerous in the upper atmosphere (seen through airplane window) and directly over ocean or beach areas.

Tell her to find me an acre of land...

Wave Downside of physical existence is all the restraints and constraints. People like to joke that it's better than the alternative. But wiser people (Socrates) have said that we don't actually know if physical living is better than the alternative (physical dying) or not.


To make physical existence more bearable, 3 attributes would be needed:

  • absolute mobility
  • absolute permeability
  • absolute invincibility

So in other words, you would need the ability to move to any position in space instantaneously (basically, ability to fly), plus the ability to pass through any living or non-living object with no damage to either yourself or the object, and you would need to be completely invulnerable to any injury, illness, any attack. And you would need these three attributes all to operate simultaneously.

Because no matter how strong you might feel your juice (The Internal Power Formerly Known As Qi) to be, you and I are incredibly weak. The merest brick dropped on your bare toe, the gentlest slash across your throat with a surgical scalpel, the slightest brush of a Taser on your bare skin, the barest hint of tear bas in your eyes, and bingo - you're in big trouble. That's weakness.

It might seem that the answer is to drop your physical body and operate entirely astrally. That's fine, but it is also what's known as being dead. So you cannot really affect this world.

I like to use an analogy of a hand holding a pen or pencil. The hand is your soul or whatever you want to call the non-material operational essence of your consciousness. The pen or pencil is your body. And a sheet of paper is the world, your physical theater of operation. In that configuration, everything proceeds smoothly. But if the hand is not holding a pen or pencil or calligraphy brush or some kind of proper writing instrument, then you cannot interact with the paper (world) in a properly effective fashion. That's analogous to being dead. Your hand is still fine, you just have temporarily lost the ability to work in a particular limited environment (the paper). We can push the analogy further by saying what if I have no pencil but I smear my finger across the paper? Or if I bite my finger and draw using my blood as ink? That is analogous to operating as a ghost or a poltergeist in the physical world - an improper and mostly ineffective interaction.

Another problem with using astral mode to overcome physical operational limitations is that the boundary between the physical and the astral is not crisp. It's basically a mess. When you first pop out of your body, you seem to be in the normal physical world, the only difference seems to be you yourself, you are functioning as a kind of helium balloon in your everyday world. But as 'time' apparently passes, you start to realize, just as in a good horror movie, that things aren't what they appear to be, and there are subtle but definite differences between the version of physicality that you experience in early astral project mode vs. normal physical mode. These accumulate faster and faster until you are propelled beyond anything remotely recognizable as your normal physical scene.

I believe that a really experienced master of both projection and remove viewing (RV), perhaps somebody like Joe McMoneagle, can learn to delay or at least manage this focus drift, but for most of us, once we are out there we are like a non-swimmer in a rip tide.

... between the salt water and the sea strand.

¡Ole!

0503_mackwhite04 I've been trying to research supposed NSA mind control technology for some time. A good summary of the wildest claims is here. Basically some nutjob(?) claims that NSA has long had technology and ongoing operations for monitoring and implanting thoughts without any physical contact with a subject. Since humans constitute a (very weak signal) electromagnetic frequency object, theoretically I suppose that something like this might be possible in some remote science fiction future.

But for now, it sounds like absolute bullshit, right? I guess. And yet something about this nags at me. I really would like to know the outer limits of this technology. One thing we can be virtually certain of is that the USA  shadow mil.gov has at least investigated this possibilty. That is logically entailed by their sharkish pursuit of pure unadulterated POWER in every other possible realm of physical world activity. Their white shark appetite for power would never allow them to leave such an obvious stone unturned.

The basic claim is pretty straightforward:

"The NSA at Ft. Meade Maryland has had the most advanced computers in the world since the 1960's. NSA technology is developed and implemented in secret from private corporations, academia, and the general public. The Signals Intelligence mission of the NSA has evolved into a program of decoding EMF waves in the environment for wirelessly tapping into computers and tracking persons with the electrical currents in their bodies. Signals intelligence is based on the fact the everything in the environment with an electrical current in it has a magnetic flux around it which gives off EMF waves. The NSA/DoD (Department of Defense) has developed proprietary advanced digital equipment which can remotely analyze all objects, whether manmade or organice, that have electrical activity."

I'd really like to know, is this feasible at all? And if so, to what extent has it been made operational? The document linked above goes farther than simply stating that this research has been undertaken. That source claims that there is a vast network of operational monitors and implanters, run by "tens of thousands" of NSA spooks.

I notice that the Wiki article on this subject is pretty skimpy. They don't even mention Jose Delgado's remote-controlled neural implant bullfighting from the 1960's.

I would classify neural control and sensing tech as three levels:

  • Invasive
  • Contactive
  • Remote

Invasive (surgical brain implanted sensors) we know works to some degree, thanks to Prof. Delgado.

Contactive (some kind of externally attached monitoring leads, such as galvanic skin or EEG or ECG etc) we know works already, to at least a crude degree, because of the brain-controlled wheelchairs and video games. But with both the invasive and contactive modes, there are questions as to the granularity, the mental resolution if you will, of the technology. Could it do anything finer grained than gross motor impulses, pick up word articulation intent, or thoughts? Probably it could, cf. also recent work in "brain fingerprinting". People who dismiss these kinds of things uniformly fail to understand the huge leverage power of combining separately developed technologies.

As for the final, Remote stage, it is easy to dismiss that as purest paranoid scifi bullshit. Yet if you accept the current existence of the first 2 stages, then the history of Remotizing such technologies as the telephone, radio, cellphones, and speech recognition should give you some pause, as you belly laugh at the gullibility of all the tinfoil conspiracy nutjobs on the loose out there.

But my own main question about all this is a practical point of basic economics. The technology to do this kind of stuff, if it is theoretically possible and technically feasible, must be really sophisticated. It would take a huge staff of extremely talented tech guys to implement all this (note that the source above goes beyond claims about remote non-contact thought monitoring and implantation, it also claims that individuals can be non-invasively controlled for producing speech and other physical actions.) This requirement for lots of tech geniuses makes me a little skeptical.

Where could they get so many good people? Aren't they competing with private industry? Over the decades they would have been competing with IBM, Apple, Microsoft, Sun, DEC, and now Google for really good tech people. And obviously NSA would never hire foreign national or H1 visa holders for this work. So, with the decline of math/sci/tech education and academic degrees trailing off in these field in the USA domestic universities, where would all these hi-tech geniuses come from exactly, to do all this work? Look at Google stock, up to 644 as of close yesterday. How could NSA compete with those kinds of stock options? And the NSA employee lifestyle is no barrel of monkies either.

Yet despite my impulse to dismiss it, something about it nags at me. Because I know how the absolute assholes who run this world think (yes, I know it via mind reading!)

Cill 'Em All

Precog I have known a guy named Jay Hanson for many years. Because I have one foot in Hawaii, and he lives there. He was the first to bring the concept "Peak Oil" to my attention though his dieoff.com website, back in 1999 or so.

Think how prescient he was! At that time, there was not one single book specifically addressing Peak Oil. Now it is a boring commonplace internet cleme (I just created this word cleme. It is pronounced cleem and it means cliche/meme.). Now, since about 2004, there are dozens of books about it, dozens of internet forums where the ideas is thrashed and touted and debunked and where all the usual pointless verbiage runs. Even the mainstream media by now has run dozens of articles and TV segments on it.

But Jay is a true pre-cog, possibly the only genuine pre-cog I have ever met, like a guy out of a Philip K Dick novel (cf. "The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch").

Not only that, but in the mid nineties, long after Bush I had refused to invade Iraq per se, refused to chase down Saddam and occupy the oil fields, and long before 9/11, Jay wrote on an internet forum that by the early 2000's, the USA would in fact invade Iraq, topple Saddam and occupy the oil fields.

That is what I call a smart guy and a true pre-cog. I was so impressed with him that I interviewed him, casually over dinner, back in 2003. The interview is Jay Hanson Summing Up Interview. I think that came out pretty well. You can also get the interview here.

So... if all that is enough to convince you that Jay is in fact a real pre-cog, then you might as well crawl under your bed right now, because Jay is currently predicting World War III (over energy resources). I'm not exactly sure who specifically is supposed to be battling who in this upcoming war, but the easy call would be something like: China, Russia, and the entire Islamic world vs. Team USA.

In fact, at this point you don't need a pre-cog to know which way the wind blows.

The question for the men in the shadows who control the earth is: is it necessary/desirable to cull, to kill off the 5 billion or so excess humans (excess in the eyes of these shadow guys, because 5 billion or so people's physical labor is no longer needed, and most of them aren't smart/educated/docile enough to perform the tech miracles that these shadow guys so dearly love, which enable them to extend their power and their lifespans) ?

Or, on the other hand, is it better to let the excess humans dieoff gradally. in the natural course of events? I assume these guys would want to keep the 2.5 billion females alive as some kind of private mega-harem (a la Dr. Strangelove), but I don't think they have worked out the technicalities of a bio-weapon that would kill males only and leave women and children alive for sexual exploitation, medical experimentation, and general amusement. I assume that various white-coated smart guys are working on this. (Now now, don't be shocked, all human alpha males have operated according to this general princple all throughout history, even chimps do no less.)

But assuming there is no way to cill (I just created this word cill. It is pronounced sill and it means cull + kill) the males only, maybe the shadow mil.gov guys will have to just flush us all.

Pricks! The only question remains: are these shadow mil.gov guys working with some kind of non-human alien assholes from outer space? Or are they stand-alone shitheads? I'm a fair, balanced, rational guy, thus I'm quite open to either possibility.

A man hears what he wants to hear

Catfight9 I'm into boxing these days. Yes if you wanted to be sarcastic you could call it Checklist Item Number Four Million Three Hundred Twenty Eight Thousand Seven Hundred and Twelve (CIT #4,328,712). Just like the Yiquan or Ashtanga or all the rest. I found a good gym handily located just catty corner off a convenient Yamanote line JR station. The guys there are young types, fit, they train hard and hit hard. Nice atmosphere.

We used to box as neighborhood kids back in the day. When pteradactyls ruled the skies. But now the training seems to have gotten a bit more systematic. Though I suppose the basics never change. In fact that's exactly what I like about boxing, there isn't any excess of stuff - not too large an inventory. A workout is basically nothing but a long string of round-timed dishes off the following bare bones menu:

  • skip rope
  • shadow box
  • speed bag
  • heavy bag
  • ring spar
  • repeat repeat repeat ...

Some guys add in weight lifting but that's a bore to me, I never liked it and I don't go in for it.Actually, to me aerobic conditioning, like the skiprope, is also a big yawn. I don't care about being aerobically fit because it is like doing the dishes - next day you are right back where you started. Aerobic fitness is just a hamster wheel thing - too short a shelf life ... But you got to do the ropework, to fit in with the guys. No biggie anyway.

The interesting thing is that after a boxing workout my Internal Power Formerly Known As Qi (IPFKAQ) really spikes. My whole body gets buzzed up like a radioactive beehive. Which never happened in our vicious little neighborhood boxing kinder-scraps, back in the day. So it means that although all this other Mysterious East Fantasy Syndrome (MEFS) type of training is indeed good for cultivating one's IPFKAQ or hunyuanli or whatever, nevertheless the energy still needs an active catalyst to trigger the combustion. Hitting and getting hit seems to yield that beating impact trigger effect (BITE).

Well, I must admit that Russian Systema training has some of that BITE too. If you've ever been beaten with a stick (or wire-cable Cossack whip or whatever) by Mikhail Ryabko you know what I mean. But I doubt I could take that kind of assault on the senses as routine daily training, whereas boxing can be pretty straightforward.
