Out of Egypt II

Heh- maybe Michael Tsarion is on to something. I got another email from Genebase with another DNA match with yet another Celtic cousin, so I went on and started poking around the site and found this amusing little sync with today's post on the Sun.

I suppose this all stems from the theory that all of our ancestors emerged from Africa (working those Annunaki goldmines?) but then again, I'm not seeing a previous origin point either. And it would explain all of those strange connections between the Celts and Egypt.

Whatever the case may be, you do see why Egypt would have been so important if indeed there is any truth in Sitchin's theories. It's the linchpin between the Mediterrennean and Africa, as well as Africa and the Annunaki bases in the Persian Gulf and Mesopotamia.

UPDATE: Justuss links to an article revealing that Barckobamun's drinking buddies, "Gates" and "Crowley," are both related to legendary Irish warlord Niall ("Nile") of the Nine Hostages.

17 Names

Andre and others have pointed this latest bit of political theatre coming from Washington:

Resolution Proclaiming Hawaii Obama's Birthplace Passes House Unanimously - In no short order, H.R. 593 (17) has become what one Democratic operative described as the "counter-birther" bill.

Yeah, and the 17 silliness don't stop there:

Salon has here in its (virtual) hand a list of 17 names of members of Congress who have either expressed support for, or refused to oppose, the idea that America has a foreign president problem. You'd be surprised how hard it is to get a member of Congress to say that Barack Obama is a natural-born citizen with the right to be president.

The leader of this movement is the Honorable Gentleman representing NAZCA NASA

Rep: Bill Posey, R-Fla.: Though rumors of then-candidate Barack Obama's ineligibility for office incubated in right-wing fever swamps during the campaign, they found their first congressional ally in the actual swamps of Florida. Posey, a first-term representative from the "Space Coast" of Florida, is the sponsor of a bill that would require presidential candidates to submit their birth certificates.

One of the Representatives involved is Sonny Bono's widow:

"However, given three opportunities to agree on behalf of Bono Mack that the president was born in the United States and is qualified to command the armed forces, the spokeswoman refused to comment..."

Counting the Facebook friends, that's 17 Republican elected officials who either seem doubtful that Obama is a legal head of state..."

Three and 17, right. But is Obama the real story here?

Immigrants should be eligible for the presidency

"Birthers" say Obama isn't "natural born" and can't be president. Let's make their whole delusional argument moot

Who's the poster boy for this front page story?

Sci-Fi Reality: Electronic Brain

A detailed, functional artificial human brain can be built within the next 10 years, a leading scientist has claimed.

Henry Markram, director of the Blue Brain Project, has already simulated elements of a rat brain.

He told the TED Global conference in Oxford that a synthetic human brain would be of particular use finding treatments for mental illnesses.

Around two billion people are thought to suffer some kind of brain impairment, he said. - BBC

Yeah, sure. It's for the handicapped. Same with the RFID chips- it's only for medical reasons, honest.

Patsy is a goddess?

What in the bloody buggery? Edina boils in a jealous rage as Patsy is hailed as a goddess in Nepal for her activism on behalf of the Gurkhas, who've helped the Brits win a war or two:

To the delight of the crowd, some of whom had queued for hours to catch a glimpse of the star, Ms Lumley issued the traditional Gurkha war cry to her waiting fans. One sign read: "Ayo goddess Joanna," or "Here comes goddess Joanna".

She told the noisy crowd: "My friends of Nepal, I am your family coming to Nepal for the first time. I want to thank you so much. "I want to say in the time-honoured cry, 'Ayo Gurkhali!'"

Ms Lumley, whose late father was an officer in the Gurkha regiment, said a great injustice had been righted when the Government finally relented in May and said all Gurkha veterans with four years' service would be allowed to move to the UK.

Lumley was also a Bond girl and a Hammer hottie.

NJ mediawhores milking it for Randi

Let me just reiterate what I said in a comment a while back on The Alien Project- if a UFO sighting makes the TV news or any major newspaper, ignore it. In my experience, it's always a setup. The media will only cover the "flap" or the controversy over compelling sightings long after the sightings have come and gone. Lights in the night are a dime a dozen these days, unless we have some sense of architecture or extremely unusual speed or maneuvering.


I'm not going to link to the continuing buffoonery on the incident, since the best way to deal with mediawhores is to ignore them. But it shouldn't surprise anyone that those two wacky NJUFO hoaxers are out there pimpin' for Randi, trying desperately to milk their 15 minutes. How desperately? They've made t-shirts celebrating their wacky hijinks. You can Google (or scroogle) it if you're interested, which you're probably not.


There are other oddities to this story - such as the very light slap on the wrists the two got for interfering with air traffic, when a neighbor of theirs got hammered by the Feds for a similar offense- but the whole thing has had a funny smell since the gitgo. And no, I never thought it was ET...

What the hell is going on on Mars? (UPDATED)

The UK could lift its long-standing veto on manned space flights as it considers creating a British rival to Nasa called Her Majesty’s Space Agency.

A review of the country's space strategy, due to be announced tomorrow morning by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills, aims "to thrust the UK space sector forward for the next 40 years and beyond".

The announcement is timed to coincide with celebrations around the world marking the 40th anniversary of Nasa’s Apollo 11 mission and Neil Armstrong’s moonwalk.

"We need to get the next generation excited about the idea of missions to Mars, as one of the people who might go from this country is probably a teenager today," he said. "We should keep a focus of the areas that we are good at – building satellites, space science, building probes etc – but also consider the probability of a British person going to Mars."- Wired

Now Canada is getting in on the act:

The PRIME science team has tentatively selected a specific and compelling feature on the surface of Phobos as the target landing site. Popularly known as the “Phobos Monolith”, it is a building-sized object that appears to be a boulder exposed relatively recently in an otherwise desolate area of the asteroid-like moon. Scientists on the PRIME team are interested in such boulders as they might represent unique opportunities to examine actual samples of Phobos’s bedrock up close. PRIME Deputy Principal Investigator Dr. Alan Hildebrand believes that the Phobos Monolith could hold the answers to the moon’s composition and history. “If we can get to that object, we likely don’t need to go anywhere else,” he advised the science team.

How is a boulder exposed on an asteroid? Maybe the answer to that question explains the urgency here. Cheers again to Eleleth. Click here for a shot of the boulder, link courtesy of joeds.

Strange! Humans Glow in Visible Light

The human body literally glows, emitting a visible light in extremely small quantities at levels that rise and fall with the day, scientists now reveal.

Past research has shown that the body emits visible light, 1,000 times less intense than the levels to which our naked eyes are sensitive. In fact, virtually all living creatures emit very weak light, which is thought to be a byproduct of biochemical reactions involving free radicals.

(This visible light differs from the infrared radiation - an invisible form of light - that comes from body heat.)

Kubrick/Apollo

Jay Weidner explores the "third position" on the Apollo hoax controversy, presenting a detailed argument that Stanley Kubrick helped create film and photos of the moon missions for public consumption in order that the real technology being put on the lunar surface could be kept out of the public eye.

Lots of interesting questions to ponder and some very interesting diagrams and photo analysis. I found his alchemical interpretations of 2001 to be not quite as compelling (Weidner seems to be uncomfortable with the fact that the actual story is about direct alien intervention in human evolution), but worth a read nonetheless.

Barackobamun and the Horus Apollo boys

If you can stomach it, let me know if there's anything of interest in this video. Anytime a politician begins to speak it's like fingernails on a blackboard for me. It's very strange- some sort of visceral reaction I get.

The whole Grissom thing again

The honor of being the first to step foot on the Moon was originally meant for Virgil "Gus" Grissom, the Masonic martyr with strange, semiotic connections to Barackobamun. But Gus fell victim to an allegedly accidental fire aboard Apollo 1. It turns out that Bryan Cranston, star of Breaking Bad and Malcolm in the Middle played Gus Grissom in That Thing You Do.

After playing Grissom, Cranston appeared on The X-Files, playing a man who also meets his death through nefarious means:

Scully: "Well, I think I have a loose theory as to what caused this."

Mulder: "Well, lay it on me."

Scully: "Okay. Mulder, you know what ELF waves are? Extremely Low Frequency radio transmissions?"

Mulder: "Yeah, use an antenna, like, 50 miles long. And the military use it communicate with the Trident submarines; Project Seafarer, Project Haarp."

Scully: "Well Seafarer has an antenna array stretching beneath the edge of Patrick Crump's property. Now, ELF fields have been shown to... to produce biological effects on human tissue; inducing electrical currents, altering chemical reactions."

Mulder: "Not to mention that as a potential weapons application its been referred to as 'electrical nerve gas' or may be behind the so-called 'Taos Hum'."

That episode was written by the great Vince Gilligan, who created Breaking Bad with Cranston in mind. Coincidentally, that series takes place in UFO hotspot New Mexico. Strangely enough, Cranston then played Buzz Aldrin in From the Earth to the Moon, almost as if Tom Hanks were ritually rebirthing Grissom and bringing him to the Moon. Or something.

'War of Worlds' trauma conditioning

This is insane:

The 370 children at Southway Junior School, in Burgess Hill, west Sussex, saw a 'spaceship' crash near their school and then aliens grabbed a member of staff as part of the performance.

The 'alien invasion' show, which was supported by Sussex Police, took place without parents being informed, leaving some furious that they had to comfort their terrified children.

The event was designed to "develop youngsters writing skills" and fire their imagination - but some children were left traumatised by the show.

Southway School admitted that a number of parents complained after their children returned home in a "state of shock".

Youngsters had to be reassured that the abducted member of staff was safe and well after he was carted off by the aliens.

Police contributed to the invasion by providing sirens and flashing blue lights to signify the landing of the craft just before morning classes on July 10 (=17).

The school responded to the furor on their website:

The ‘Everyone Writes Day’ was based on an idea from the Department for Children, Schools and Families and National Literacy Trust. The aim was to find ways to take writing beyond the classroom, to provide exciting stimuli for writing and to inspire children to write creatively. Local police involvement was an important ingredient, adding a touch of reality to the day and strengthening community links.

Yeah, sure. Well, the school also is providing exciting stimuli for drawing, getting the kiddies to draw the Ennead and other Egyptian icons.

Gee, what's the connection there?

Cheers to a Secret Sun reader for the reminder.

UPDATE: Tommy at Kozmikon weighed in on this yesterday as well.

UPDATE II: Make of this what you will, but Mr Panda points us to a report claiming a record rise in UFO sightings in the UK. If I were writing a scifi novel, this little stunt might have be an experiment testing the reaction of children to a widespread contact event.If I were writing an X-Files episode, the teacher would have been killed by a swarm of bees infected with an alien virus at the same time.

Apollo and the Dying Priesthood

The Telegraph presents a debate on the Apollo 11 hoax/not-hoax issue. But of course the title shows us why so many people no longer bow to the self-appointed priesthood of the corporate media: "Apollo 11 Moon landing: conspiracy theories debunked."

The piece is a great example of the profound narcissism and megalomania of the media and the scientific establishment. The claims were not "debunked," they are being debated. Well, that's the wrong term- they're being refuted without opportunity for rebuttal. The writer automatically assumes the establishment view to be the gospel truth, and anyone questioning that to be a "conspiracy theorist." It's exactly this kind of arrogance that is leading newspapers to the brink of extinction.

Personally, I'm agnostic on the whole issue. It could very well be that there is a real space program and a media-simulation being presented to the public. But whatever the truth is you won't find it in propaganda outlets like the Telegraph.

Venus once had oceans

Oh, isn't this interesting:

Venus may once have been more Earth-like, with volcanic activity and an ocean of water, a new map of the toasty planet's southern hemisphere suggests. The map comprises over a thousand individual images, recorded between May 2006 and December 2007 by the European Space Agency's Venus Express spacecraft.


It gives astronomers another tool in their quest to understand why Venus is so similar in size to Earth and yet has evolved so differently. Because Venus is covered in clouds, normal cameras cannot see the surface, but Venus Express used a particular infrared wavelength to see through them. - Space.com

So that's three rocky, watery planets in this Solar System. Two destroyed by some cosmic cataclysm, one developing a species that could terraform them back to life.

Russian President shows off new world currency

July 10 (Bloomberg) -- Russian President Dmitry Medvedev illustrated his call for a supranational currency to replace the dollar by pulling from his pocket a sample coin of a “united future world currency.”

“Here it is,” Medvedev told reporters today in L’Aquila, Italy, after a summit of the Group of Eight nations. “You can see it and touch it.”

The coin, which bears the words “unity in diversity,” was minted in Belgium and presented to the heads of G-8 delegations, Medvedev said.- Bloomberg

Just Saying, is All...

Horus revealed, Hathor "on the move"

Hot on the heels of the Sydney Olympics retrospective on The Secret Sun, Australia's 7:30 Report has a story on the revelation of Horus. That is, using CAT scanning to unveil an ancient mummy of a boy named Horus who died right around the birth of Christ (oi, too easy). Concurrent with this revelation is the moving of a giant statue of Hathor, though just down the hall and not from Dendera to Edfu. Not sure if there's a Transformers tie-in there.

And wouldn't you just know it- The 7:30 Report also had our old friend Buzz "33" Aldrin on the other day chatting up Mars exploration, though there was no discussion as to whether Buzz thought that Horus was identified with the Red Planet. Buzz is on record saying we should avoid the Moon, for some strange reason.

And in related news, we learn that Barackobamun is rewarding the counties that voted him in to the tune of $17 Billion US.

Star of the day goes to Mike W for the Aussie scoops.

Attack of the Giant Chevron

I've talked at length about my feverish leprechaun hallucination, which I remember most clearly because it came late in the game. The hallucinations began when I started getting bad ear infections, probably around 8 or 9 years-old. But there is one hallucination from that period that I remember quite well- too well- but have never talked about because it frankly sounds pretty stupid. It was summer, probably around July '74 and I was very sick. I had an hallucination that I was being attacked by a giant chevron. Right- attacked by a giant upside down V. Yeah, I know, believe me.

But watching this video tonight, I must say it caught my attention when they began discussing all of the chevrons in NASA- and all of the other space agency- logos. It really got my attention when they talked about the history of the chevron and then hit you with its possible significance.

Then that hallucination made perfect sense...

Transformers Addenda: House of Horus

Just Wondering reminds us that Mikaela's garage workshop is referred to as a "house of horrors" by a comic-relief Decepticon. However, as JW notes, it sounds a lot more like "House of Horus," with the Decepto's cartoon Brooklyn accent.

Two interesting juxtapositions- Sam calling Mikaela while in front of Princeton's University Chapel, and a neon sign behind Mikaela reading "Music," recalling Hathor's role as patron of musicians.

While everyone was watching the MJ funeral...

...the Pope issued an encyclical laying out his vision of the New World Order. On 7/7, no less. The man has a knack for timing, give him that. The New York Daily News notes:

As we said, Benedict's encyclical, titled "Charity in Truth," is stunningly radical, notably in its prescriptions for the temporal order. There's no doubt that in urging the creation of something akin to a world government, he has established a landmark for his papacy and for Catholicism.

Bruce Rux on Binnall of America, part 2

The second of a three-part interview with Bruce Rux is up now on Binnall of America. Bruce talks Doctor Who, X-Files and Quatermass as you'd expect, but also offers some interesting theories on Ian Fleming's use of real intelligence information in his James Bond novels. In particular, Bruce opines that Dr. No was in fact based on intelligence about alien greys. Sound crazy? Well, look at that book cover of th 2002 edition of the novel. What color is the good Doctor there? And damn if that topless blonde doesn't look a lot like Anne "Celestia" Heche, no?

Trailer Trash

Fresh off her role as Hathor Mikaela, Megan Fox stars in Diablo Cody's (Juno) new black comedy Jennifer's Body, about a demon-possessed high school girl or something. The trailer reminds me a lot of the X-Files episode "Syzygy," which featured a very young Ryan Reynolds. This is a redband trailer, so it's NSFW. I keep seeing a King's Dominion ad at the beginning, talking about "initiations." Which is more interesting than the trailer itself.



And here's the new Planet 51 trailer, with Dwayne Johnson continue to mime the alien meme. The concept is "ET in reverse," which we chewed over on the Sun a few months back. Just another footnote in this new era of dissonance on the UFO issue?

Disney has a new robot in the Hall of Presidents, based on Dear Leader. I think Goldman Sachs and Citigroup beat them to it, but nice try anyway, Disney...

This president is an audio-animatronic Obama surrounded by the 42 other U.S. presidents at Walt Disney World's newly revamped Hall of Presidents in Orlando, Florida.

Disney gathered a team of what it calls "Imagineers," each trained in various disciplines such as artistry, design and engineering, to update the attraction that has been around since 1971.

It's hard to believe the figures are not real people and, according to Disney officials, that's the goal.

Independence Day

Massive space launch today

PARIS - The largest commercial satellite ever built - the massive TerreStar-1 - launched into space on Wednesday, riding a European-built rocket into orbit.

Weighing in at 15,233 pounds (6,910 kg), TerreStar-1 lifted off atop an Ariane 5 ECA rocket at 1:52 p.m. EDT (1752 GMT) from the Guiana Space Center in French Guiana.

The launch was the third of seven Ariane 5 ECA launches planned for 2009 by the European launch firm Arianespace. Because of its size, TerreStar-1 was the sole payload onboard the vehicle, which is typically used to place two telecommunications satellites at a time into geostationary transfer orbit.- Space.com
