Apollo 18 and Lunar Truth
I recently saw a very well-done but disturbing film on Dish network. It is Apollo 18, the story of the reportedly secret NASA mission to the moon, a mission that "offiiciallly" got cancelled. I was very young at the time the last Apollo Mission (Apollo 17) flew, yet I watched ALL the TV footage of the Apollo missions---and since then I have always been very interested in any and all things space. It never made any sense to me the reasons given by NASA and the US Government re: why the Apollo moon missions were cancelled.
How could we have learned all we could about the moon in 5 missions? That is obviously moronic. So, I always figured there was much more to the story than was told to us by NASA and the USA government. Now we know. Avoid the South Polar area of luna!

Human Learns the Klingon Language, Finds That It Helps Him Overcome Dyslexia
« on: 10 05, 2011, 01:12: PM » |
I was sent this article today , written by John Farrier for Neatorama, and though I'd share.
Jonathan Brown of Milton Keynes, UK, has struggled with dyslexia for many years. But he’s found that studying the Klingon language from Star Trek very helpful for coping with it: He explained how he has always had difficulty with reading and also has what he describes as “name blindness” but while doing this work he realised that he could use a different part of his brain. “Dyslexia is not something you get over, you live with it. It’s not necessarily a hindrance, you just learn different ways to pick things up.
“Working on the translation has helped me understand where I’ve been having problems all my life with languages, I realised I’d been trying to remember the words in the name part of my brain and because I can’t remember names, I can’t remember the words. “With the Klingon language games used on the CD, I tended to put words into a different place and it went into my long term memory. You can’t go wrong by choosing to study Klingon. At one point, just a couple decades ago, it was the fastest growing language in the world!

Odd Edges---think about it.
Odd Edges..................!!!!
“Language is a trick that allows the mind to question itself; a magic mirror that reveals to the mind what the mind thinks; a handle that turns a mind into a tool. With a grip on the slippery, aimless activity of self-reference, language can harness a mind into a fountain of new ideas…we certainly wouldn’t think the way we do. If our mind can’t tell stories, we can’t consciously create; we can only create by accident. Until we tame the mind with an organizational tool capable of communicating to itself, we have stray thoughts without a narrative. We have a feral mind. We have smartness without a tool.” - Kevin Kelly
Language must be understood as a constant state of flux by all those who bear it. And in that understanding, people should be far from hesitant to rip, remix, burn, mutate, splice, confound, and mangle new words into the colossal body of churning verbal suggestions. For creating new phrases, dictionaries, and syntaxes are one of the primary means by which new potential realities are downloaded into the status quo. An entity's particular quality of being and their vocabulary constitute the signal flares and the landing pad for the whole future. Your own limits are the bandwidth, the constraints, on that future.
And though indeed language is indispensable, we mustn't fear lengthy departures from it. I think the appropriate word for moments in which the conscious awareness is removed from the psychological demand to read off the ticker-tape of spontaneous verbiage is 'the ecstatic.' I think McKenna used this in a similar context as well. We've all had moments like this. Whether it was an orgasm, a twinkie, an lsd trip, a walk in the woods, a car ride--or looking at a stain glass window or a webpage or a wall, and boom a the stop sign has a meltdown. I've enjoyed communicating this sensation with the phrase: If you ever really stopped and looked at that which has just given these shapes meaning--a bomb would go off in your life.
Everyone has had a moment when the volume on the often hysterical internal commentary runs profoundly down, while the cosmos language constantly refers to takes a kind of vertigo-inducing center stage. This, I think, is where we should be spending more time. Though rearranging the available play blocks of language and words are necessary and extremely desirable, I think the most radical, the most creative, the most necessary, and the most worthy future for our species lays just beyond the flashpoint of the known. Thus, my personal advice to all those reading this: enter the ecstatic, by any means necessary. This is what's worth your time, more so than any media-induced hyperreality, more so than any cultural virtual reality, more than any verbal communication. Go for a long walk. Walk until it's not walking anymore, but the history of the cosmos amongst itself--hand in hand. Then you'll start schmoozing outrageous possible tomorrows into each other ears. This is the turf of Goethe, Galileo, Gandhi, Gysin, and The GZA

This is an out-dated Petach article that is not valid or correct at all re: Definition of Transhumans
Transhumanism, often abbreviated as H+ or h+, is an international intellectual and cultural movement that affirms the possibility and desirability of fundamentally transforming the human condition by developing and making widely available technologies to eliminate aging and to greatlyenhance human intellectual, physical, and psychological capacities. Transhumanist thinkers study the potential benefits and dangers of emerging technologies that could overcome fundamental human limitations, as well as study the ethical matters involved in developing and using such technologies. They predict that human beings may eventually be able to transform themselves into beings with such greatly expanded abilities as to merit the label "posthuman". Transhumanism is therefore viewed as a subset of philosophical "posthumanism".
The contemporary meaning of the term "transhumanism" was foreshadowed by one of the first professors of futurology, FM-2030, who taught "new concepts of the Human" at The New School of New York City in the 1960s, when he began to identify people who adopt technologies, lifestyles and world views transitional to "posthumanity" as "transhuman". This foresight would lay the intellectual groundwork for British philosopher Max More to begin articulating the principles of transhumanism as a futurist philosophy in 1990, and organizing in California an intelligentsia that has since grown into the worldwide transhumanist movement.
The above is from "Wicked-pedia" witch is often propraganda and bogus fucking CRAP.

Update Of Transhuman Rights Manifesto (Preamble)
Declaration Of Transhuman Rights---(Preamble)
1. Seres de origen non-terrestre ("aliens") tienen
derechos como los dema's, los "abori'gines" del
planeta en cuestio'n (Earth/Gaia/Terra/"terra
prime"/TERRA FIRMA/sol 3/).
2. Certain telepathic humanoids (bipeds) have different rights in addition to the rights of regular people (citizens of the USA eg)----they have the right to have specific atmospheric conditions/TEMPERATURES for their thriving, not just survival. See point Five below for more.
3. Supersensitive races may not be tortured by pain coming from outside them. If this is violated in ANY WAY, EVEN THE MOST MINISCULE (LIKE A SINGLE PIXEL, OR A CURSOR MISBEHAVING) THERE ARE LIKELY horrible unthinkable You-Dont want to know kinds of penalties for ALL of your life (AND AFTERLIFE.)
4. If they (transhumans or frank aliens) choose a mate, interference in any fashion will (not even a "nuon" ===>a tiny "almost" thought of delay, etc, etc ad nauseum ad infinitum), not even a tiny bit, nor anything remotely LIKE a delay will likely be appreciated. Or tolerated.
5. "Aliens" or hybrids of non-Terran races and humans
may just have exquisitely specific requirements like a different breathable atmosphere or different light tolerances. They may only come out at night. They may need for example, cocaine freebase (really) every day, like humans need glucose or vitamin C. Or perhaps tubocurarine is an aphrodesiac to them. They may be deadly-poisoned by the sodium iodide put in our salt. Thus, to be here, they adjust whatever parameters they can. In the near future these accommodations must be provided to them for free, like medical care in Europe, and soon the USA (coming SOME DAY!) Beware, there are MANY OF US, AND WE ARE TAKING OUR RIGHTS, NOT ASKING FOR THEM OR WARNING YOU (MORE THAN THIS.)
6. "Don't torture it!" is what they "say" (thought-project) when they (some other trusted trained, HIGHER ORDER type of beings--think Galactic Bodhisattvas/Godly beings---Their monitors) see/detect ANYONE/ANY "THING" (BE IT human, transhuman or alien, or "digital") are harming a Terran or hybrid or other alien. Is their "code-speak" for a poor approximation of our Terran idea of "sympathy." THIS IS THE BASIC IDEA, BUT MOST parthenogenic aliens (often so-called "dol-women") too often ignore this, cruelly and callously disregarding masculinity and feminity and they then make very bad mistakes (often times merely semantic/translation errors!) that cause real wars every day! Note that the very masculine ones of certain alien races (and some hybrids) for example type, are never to be called an "IT." Also the very very femme feminine ones should never be called an "IT." Use proper pronouns for gender--know that this is IMPERATIVE. (BAD ADJECTIVE!)
7. What is "fun" for some hybrids/aliens/assholes is Torture to humans and others.....
8. Stop the torture omg! Like the REM song, EveryBODY hurts. P.S. To the "matrix-think" geeks, "becoming digital," WON'T WORK OR HELP YOU.
9. Transhumans should NEVER have to put up with primitive computers, especially APPLES AND IBMs--ESPECIALLY WITH Microsoft operating systems. The speech recognition program will make you pull your fucking hair out. I kid you not. Let's not PRETEND ANYMORE RE: WHAT THE COMPUTER CAN AND WILL DO!!! (order) (adj) (exclamation point.)
10. There cannot be any peace without justice..
(P. Tosh, thank you!) CORRELATE: DON'T EVEN THINK OF HACKING A TRANSHUMAN'S/HYBRID'S COMPUTER/PHONE OR ANY OF HIS OR HER TECH! (ORDER!) (ADJ!)
11. Those who claim to "enjoy" puzzles and complications BEWARE! Some non-Terran cultures abhor this to the point of pre-emptive attack against delayers or complicators (IT IS Severe!)
12. To be honest the term Terran now only means that you LIVE on Earth. It does not imply you are HUMAN. It does not imply you are merely/only HUMAN. Many, many, if not most humanoid Terrans are hybrids but have no awareness of this. Our DNA has been examined and messed with my many Genera/Species from places (relatively) near and very far, over the generations. We are so very often, very similar to the "others." And yet, our differences are that which is to be enjoyed and savored, appreciated. Not feared, or hated (if absolutely possible.) Coexist. We (native, regular-guy/gal Terrans, especially those whom Leary called "larvals!") really have no other option.
13. From HUMAN lexicon, strike words ending in "-ium". Do so immediately--NOW!
14. The Universal Translator is always talking about testicles....change the fucking program disc OR WE WILL "CHANGE' THE OFFENDER'S CORPUS COLLOSUMS. That is an ORDER!
15. Never, I repeat NEVER INTERRUPT A TRANSHUMAN WHILE He or She IS SMOKING, OR PREPARING TO, OR---worst of all IMPEDE Him Or Her in ANY way--it is EQUAL TO OR worse than all cultural human sacrilige.
(i.e. if a person is trying to roll a cigarette, don't talk to him or her, or make the cigarette not roll or change it in ANY way.) EVEN IF YOU ARE ZETA RETICULAN, "KLINGON" OR WHATEVER! EVEN IF YOUR CRAZY-ASS "RELIGION" says to do it. DON'T! The roller controls. People literally die for committing this infraction on other planets (AND NOW HERE TOO.) The offender and their home planets will be thrashed and/or totally destroyed. REALLY.
16. *****VERBOTTEN!!!!*****
PLEASE FOR YOUR SAKE AND OURS, DON'T SAY OR think "DO A CONCERT," ANYWHERE NEAR A TRANSHUMAN!!!
THAT IS EXQUISITELY VERY BAD--like lethality..BUT WORSE...THIS IS A WORD THAT IS USED IN A SPECIAL WAY FAR FAR AWAY....IT IS NOT WHAT HUMANS USUALLY THINK. "Concerts," or more properly, "Koncerts," are sacred sexual "tantric" rituals, and are only negotiated a priori with exquisitely chosen ones. I AM BREAKING SOME RULES BY WARNING YOU ABOUT THIS, SO "de nada!" WARNING! (ADJ!)17. ANOTHER AWFUL HATE-SPEECH STATEMENT, believe it or not (BELIEVE IT!), IS "GOOCHIE, GOOCHIE, GOO!" really..if you don't know why, don't ask.
18. NEVER SAY/THINK the words "TAKE A SEDATIVE" (this, in an alien language means "you are insane and we are going to use you for OUR amusement/mockery/your detriment!" It is also LITERALLY equivalent, in English, to "YOU ARE ABOUT TO BE CASTRATED!"
A twenty-first century parallel to this is the difference between so-called "freedom of speech," and so-called "hate-speech!" Hate speech is a crime because, "them's fightin' words."
19. Don't say/think "Do An INTERVIEW." This means "you are to be locked up against your will and forcibly interrogated using physical torture and torture drugs." If your motives are pure, unlike the motives of those who usually say/think these abominations, and you would like to do a "regular interview," as HUMANS normally think of the concept, you MUST NEGOTIATE THIS a priori PRIVATELY, with the TRANSHUMAN PERSON/whatever, with all parameters and payment made IN ADVANCE. NO EXCEPTIONS. WARNING!
20. Never EVER, EVER! ever EVER, SAY/THINK the ridiculous statement (and SOME STILL as of yesterday, STILL DID THIS!--note past tense) "TAKE A TESTICLE."
NOT AS A "JOKE,"
NOT AS "TRASH-TALK,"
NOT AT ALL!
Punishment is severe, swift, agonizing and permanent. Faster and worse than "Instant Karma." (! ADJ! ) !OjO!
21. Do not use the FEMALE NLP (Neurolinguistic Programming) "trick" of speaking quickly/slurring your words when saying the words "talk to me," so as to the (usually) male ear, sounds like "Torture me."
If you are a masochist, and WANT TO BE TORTURED, say so clearly and enunciate it CAREFULLY, AND THEN DISCUSS PARAMETERS.
22. Beware of ventriloquists! No shit. I REALIZE THIS ONE MAY SOUND LIKE A JOKE OR SOMETHING. IT IS NOT.
Most females (or many) are adept ventriloquists and can make others (again, usually hapless heterosexual males) THINK they hear some "scare words" or "enticement words" from "somewhere else." They are especially fond of using babies and children to "do their EVIL-SPEAK!" Heterosexual men, these are secrets women teach their DAUGHTERS ONLY and NEVER their sons. Females are fond of saying "babies never lie..." But THEY (females) lie as a rule. As they eloquently say in Nederlands, Kanker Hoor!

Excellent Post From My Friend Philip Jonkers
"Feminists developed the concept of a 'rape culture' decades ago to describe how men who rape are not simply a handful of 'sick' or deviant individuals. They are instead the products of a culture that glorifies and sexualizes male power and dominance, and at the same time glorifies and sexualizes female subservience and submission. Rape must be understood not as an aberration in such a cultural environment but as simply the extreme end on a continuum of behaviors. The controversial aspect of this seemingly commonsense argument is that it implicates tens of million of men who are not rapists. Most men would rather not think about how they participate in a culture that actively promotes--or at the very least tolerates--sexual violence. Many find offensive the mere suggestion of any sense of shared responsibility.
As a result, the mythic image of the rapist as a masked man who hides in the bushes and waits to leap out and attack women continues to resonate powerfully, because while this image strikes fear in the hearts of millions of women and girls every day, it is also oddly reassuring--for both women and men. For women, it means that if they are smart and take the necessary precautions, they will drastically reduce their chances of being assaulted. For men, the image of the crazed rapist diverts the critical spotlight away from them. If the male population is divided into two distinct categories--'good guys' and 'rapists'--then men who do not rape can easily distance themselves from the problem. But the reality of sexual violence is much more complex than the mythology. Stranger rapes occur with alarming frequency and can terrorize an entire populace--especially women. But they constitute only about 20 percent of cases. Most sexual violence happens between people who know each other. On college campuses 90 percent of rape victims know their assailants. The perpetrators can be family members or friends of their victims. They are often 'nice guys' whom no one would suspect.
Even more troubling is the fact that rape is an act of sexual aggression that can sometimes bear a remarkable similarity to what may be considered 'normal' sexual behavior for men--either in heterosexual or homosexual relations. One study showed that one in twelve men admitted to committing acts that met the legal definition of rape. One study by the American Academy of Pediatrics found that 43 percent of college-aged men conceded to using coercive behavior to have sex (including ignoring a woman's protest, using physical aggression, and forcing intercourse). Thus for men--especially heterosexual men--to acknowledge the depths of the problem would require an unprecedented level of introspection. In a sense they would have to question the entire process by which they had been socialized as men."

New, "more liberal," "kinder, gentler" drug czar Kerlinski gutless to face his fellow cops!
New "more liberal" Drug Czar, Kerlinski, who stated when appointed that he "wanted to end the war on drugs," has been making things even worse! He is too gutless to meet with a group of his former fellow police who have examined the Administration's Continuation Of Nixon's Failed "WAR ON DRUGS," and found it causes LOTS of harm and NO GOOD and costs US LOTS of money!
www.tokeofthetown.com
In conjunction with this week's 40th anniversary of President Nixon declaring "War On Drugs," a group of police, judges and jailers who support legalization released a report Tuesday showing how the Obama Administration is ramping up a war it disingenuously claims that it ended two years ago.
