Even "love" was hijjacked by the dark forces...This is in keeping with in the lower vibrational expression of “forgiveness”, “compassion”, and “gratitude”.  It binds everyone together  on the same sinking Titanic and no one feels empowered to let go of it and get off. This has been the case from ancient times to present.  (Peter Kingsley's book "Reality" touches on this, although I am not sure it was his intention.)

High vibrational "Love" cannot be found if there is no sense of a greater spiritual beingness to existence.  Likewise, higher levels of spiritual beingness cannot function properly without the high vibrational form of love that allows and facilitates the formation and evolution of creation.  Both are important and at any given instant one can be seen to be primary over the other, depending on circumstances.

My earliest encounter with 2012 information was in the early '90s, in issues of the Revelations of Awareness newlsletter from Olympia, WA.



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

Updates:
The Dimensional Shift in 2012
(A New Twist on " The Rapture" Which is Coming)

(Excerpts)
There are a few issues that need to be updated. It has been indicated by this Awareness that in or around the year 2012 a movement into a new direction or a new dimension will occur. This appears to be a movement that begins in a more solid direction in 1995, moving toward that point of 2012, or 2013. There are many who would think of this as the time of "The Rapture."

It appears that approximately 25% of the people on earth at this time are in higher spiritual vibrations which would allow them to be raptured if this were the time for the rapture to occur, and that this 25% is growing rapidly, so that by the time of 2012 or 2013 occurs, the majority of people on this earth will be ready for that time of rapture, or the enlightenment, and the earth itself becomes the new plane of consciousness, the new spiritual home for entities.

There will be a great change in the very nature of earth itself, and most of the negative beings on earth will have been removed and placed on another planet or plane or dimension. It appears that there are numerous other channels who have picked up on this and are now giving similar information about the date of 2012.

The emphasis during the coming decade and a half (this reading was on Nov. 8 1994-Ed) will be on the spiritual vibratory increase, the increase in the frequency that entities experience in terms of their spirituality. It will become more and more common for entities moving into higher spiritual frequencies to become forces for not only healing of each other physically, but also spiritual healing for each other, so that more and more, the spiritual energies of entities upon this plane begin to supersede material interests and focus.

(Excerpt CAC Reading Nov 8, 1994 Paul Shockley Interpreter)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the previous page it was mentioned:
"In other words, the earth itself begins to shift into two different dimensions so that Forces of Light will have their earth, and Forces of Darkness will have its earth, and the Forces of Darkness on its earth may find themselves destroying their environment, while the Forces of Light may find themselves improving their environment, and while it was originally the same earth, it will be likened unto an amoeba splitting, and one part going into a new dimension, the other part going into a lower dimension. Entities may not even realize there has been a shift, but they will recognize that things has improved considerably, or that things have really gotten a lot worse, depending on which dimension they find themselves moving toward."

We will continue expanding on this subject as Will Berlinghof, Interpreter for Cosmic Awareness gives us new information. Please note that Cosmic Awareness now refers to Planet A as higher dimension and Planet B as lower dimension.

Will the Lost Continents of Atlantis and Lemuria Resurface Soon?

(From the Revelations of Awareness Newsletter 2007-10)

What will occur with the dimensional shift that is coming, the separation of the two planets: Planet A and Planet B, the two planets, is that the dimensional veil that now exists will be breached and therefore, Atlantis will rise again, as the whole vibrational shift occurs that will allow for the dismantling of that veil that exists between the two realities. This is seen more to occur on the Ascension planet, versus the planet that will not ascend and will stay in the dense physical energies. On that planet, Atlantis and Lemuria will not reappear, for the conditions will not be right for this to happen, but for the higher dimension planet, the higher frequencies, the rising of Atlantis and Lemuria will be an event that will occur.

More on Planet X-Will It Hit the Earth?
(2007-11)

There will be more exposure of the Illuminati in the years ahead, but 2007 will be seen as the time that the exposure of these hidden Illuminati did indeed begin. Planet X will come close to hitting the earth and everything will be shaken. Many cataclysmic events could come about because of the close proximity of another planetary body affecting the planetary core and gravitational fields of this planet. It may cause the shaking up of both Planet A and Planet B and cause their final separation on a vibrational level...Many Light Workers will have ascended to the higher vibrational earth that will not be as profoundly impacted as the lower density planet. The Ascension process has already begun and many are already a different vibration, where they will never experience cataclysmic events...Others still on a planet that has not quite ascended may experience cataclysmic events, but this may be understood as part of the Ascension process...
Who Are The Unnaturally Black-Eyed Children & Adults?
(2007-11)


The experiment into separation, into the dislocation of spirit from source; at this time this process is once again proceeding forward as the planet earth comes to that point of separation where the two planets can divide and move into those vibrational rates, or higher or lower frequencies. This in reference to Planet A, the Ascension Planet, and Planet B- the planet behind or below ascension...darker soulless entities, who have reached a level of great separation from the source, have appeared in a physical form that is actually discernible, but the feeling of these entities is one of soullessness, or separation from the Light. It is said the eyes are the windows to the soul, and often the Light of Spirit shines through the eyes. When that is veiled, or cloaked or hidden, as in the eyes of these black-eyed individuals, then the soul cannot be seen or sensed and experienced, and this is what this Awareness is referring to when It says these beings are soulless.

Will Those Full of Love Ascend Also?
(2007-11)
Many will do so, but many, because they are full of love for their fellow human beings, will remain until the bitter end, will be the last to ascend. Several waves of Ascension are occurring. Some have already advanced to a higher level of vibration, where the earth they are experiencing is already different in quality to that which many still on this earthly plane are experiencing, and they will not experience the most dramatic of events because it is not their desire or destiny to do so. Others may experience them until the final wave is complete, those who have that great love and desire to help in this transition of many to that higher level of awareness and consciousness. Because of their love for humanity they may remain behind to help as many cross over and ascend as is possible, and then they may join their brothers and sisters on a planet whose spiritual vibration is high enough to support life and a process of spiritual journey toward the Light and union with spiritual purity. They will then sadly abandon the planet that is meant to stay behind in the denser energy. They will not participate in that. They will remove themselves from the Planet A at that time and join others on Planet A.

Many Aliens Plan to Ascend to Higher Spiritual Awareness
(2007-7)
The Ascension Planet A is ready to ascend to higher spiritual awareness, and many of these extraterrestrial beings have understood this and have been driven to be a part of this process, and it is seen on that planet, with time, that the extraterrestrial forces will come forward and no longer hide themselves behind the masks, but rather will engage humanity in openness and honesty and present themselves openly, so that the planet will understand that it is part of a greater cosmos, and there are indeed those factors available that are not human but are still part of the Grand Design, and this is part of the opening that this Awareness sees as the planet moves forward in consciousness. However the planet that descends: Planet B, will continue to be below that understanding and therefore, the deceptions will continue as mankind; those who choose that experience, are dragged even deeper into that denseness of separation, the density of the third dimensional planetary influence, that third dimensional reality. This is seen as part of a greater plan, a greater design.

A Living Hell on Planet "B"
(2008-7)
The creation of a hell upon the planet. It has always been understood that hell is here on this planet, that hell is considered truly to be that separation of spirit, separation from a spiritual understanding and awareness, and part of the evolutionary track of Planet B is a total separation from an awareness of spirit, thus creating a separation that creates hell on earth to an even greater degree than experienced now. This Awareness sees atrocities occurring in such a line of consciousness, but this too is part of the evolutionary track that certain souls will choose to experience in their own evolutionary track of soul expansion. Those who choose to experience heightened awareness, who have increased their vibrations and frequencies to such a degree will not feel the loss of loved ones in the same way, for they will be much more able to access those loved ones, whether in a physical state or not. Planet A will still have a physical component. It will still be physical in nature, but at the same time, those individuals having that experience will understanding their multidimensional natures and will be able to play in both realms, not being solely at the beck and call of physical reality and a separation from Spirit and spiritual awareness. Both will exist simultaneously and thus the physical experience on Planet A will truly be magnificent.

If Your Loved Ones Go to Planet "B"
(2008-7)
While the focus is on the track of physical experience on Planet B, the need for interaction from those on that track will be less and less and less, and those who travel on the line of Planet A, the Ascended planet, will honor those who have a need to progress along their spiritual evolutionary track and will simply get on with their own lives, knowing that they can always connect if desired on that higher spiritual level. This may be confusing, but those beings, those souls who wish to experience an even greater experience of separation from spirit, from the multidimensional nature of consciousness, will do so in such a way that they will stay focused on the physical experience that they are having, complete with the rules of definition that will define that experience. Because this will be so, such souls will not necessarily seek to connect for a period of time with their multidimensional nature. Thus those who have moved upwards in that appreciation of their multidimensional nature will not be sought out by those who do not choose this. Even though those who have experienced Ascension could meet with those souls upon their demise in their physical lives, they will not choose to do so, for that separation will be such that the honoring of them will allow them to simply have their experience and the energetic gap will be great enough to prevent an interaction of consciousness.

If Your Loved Ones Go to Planet "B"
(2008-7)
Death? missing? An Empty house for some, a departure from this physical plane as they ascend or move on or move to another state, will be seen as a physical death. For those who have such an experience, such a loss, there is a deeper reason why this will be so. Those who physically die off need to totally separate themselves, their consciousness, for they have chosen to go down a line where they are separating themselves more from their spiritual source, at least separating on that physical horizontal line of experience. It may be that one might experience the loss of a loved one, an acquaintance in a physical manner, a death. What will be much more prevalent however is that people will simply not be part of one..'s life anymore. A separation will occur without any realization that there is any loss, or separation. People will simply not be part of of your life any longer and there will not even be a thought to this, for as separation grows greater between the two planets: Planet A and Planet B, the sense of other individuals will diminish, especially for those who continue along that line of physical experience that will define the experiential line of Planet B. Those who have reached a higher level of Ascension may certainly at the beginning be aware that certain individuals that were once part of their lives chose to move in another direction. They will acknowledge and understand that even if it is a physical death that separates them, their consciousness, their Higher Selves still does exist and is accessible to them if there is a need.

Planet A Will Move into The 4th & 5th Dimensions
(2008-7)
Those who are on the ascended level of consciousness have a greater awareness to what is possible. They are not quite as confined to a physical reality, but upon Ascension, the existence of the planet will still be largely physical. Those beings who choose to reincarnate on Planet A will also have a physical existence. It is more though that they will not be as confined to physicality the same way as it is experienced in the 3rd dimension. The Ascension process will move the planet beyond a 3rd dimension into that which is the 4th/5th dimension: a variance of the two. The physicality that is experienced there will be much looser, will not be as constricting or as dense as it currently is or as it will become upon that which is Planet B, and that line of evolution. Even as consciousness progresses along the timeline or the line of consciousness that will become Planet A, there will be a greater realization as times goes on, of the spiritual quality of consciousness, and thus a gradual moving away from physicality altogether.

Those Going to Planet "B": How Will We Know If They Died or Not?
(2008-7)
This is an intriguing question which occupies many minds, for it also involves a sense of loss of those who are loved ones in a current lifetime, and even a fear that perhaps they will not be able to reconnect with those loved ones. There is a state of consciousness that lies beyond the physical, which lies beyond even the process of Ascension. Thus it is that loved ones and those who are part of the group soul that an individual may stem from, will always be available to them. The union that occurs within the fabric of the soul matrix will reunite always, not matter if an individual is progressing along that timeline known as Planet B or even Planet A. The experience of separation is such that in order to become totally focused on one line or the other, it may be required by the individual having the experience of consciousness along that line, to forget others who are held as loved and cherished in another lifetime, so that they can be focused onto the physical existence and experiences of that physical existence. The timeline referred to as Planet B will become more focused on the physical, and even digress in consciousness and the spiritual,that which is the state of existence and consciousness lying beyond the physical. Thus it may be that all that is focused upon in the physical experience of the timeline of Planet B will be total physicality with no sense of connection to that which is Spirit, or spiritual, that which is of a higher level of consciousness.

12 Strands for Those who Choose Planet A
(2008-8)
Those who exist on either Planet A or B will have altered so that they can exist physically on the new planets. Those who choose to go towards the higher level of consciousness of Planet A, will find their genetic structure has altered to a higher frequency and will allow a greater number of those 12 strands of genetic material to be used and opened.That is part of the genetic shift that is occurring at this time. Those who choose not to raise their vibrations will actually shut down and part of the genetic code that will be needed to function on a much denser plane will be lost, or at least shut off. It is known that only 2 of the 12 strands have currently been used by mankind over the last several thousand years. It is seen that this will be reduced down to one strand for those who stay on that planetary consciousness known as Planet B. It is a shutting down, a damping down,a dumbing down that will occur. However, those who have chosen the Ascension process, or are part of the Ascension, whether they recognize their choice in this matter or not, will have an expansion of the genetic material, the DNA strands, an opening up once again of those strands that were once fully functional, and this will be part of that shift in consciousness toward the higher vibrational frequencies.

The Change of Our DNA?
(2008-8)
The DNA structure of individuals is changing, whether they wish it so or not, for the vibrations of the Planet A are changing. Some will be able to go further and deeper as their own frequencies increase, but all human beings will see a change of the DNA structure, for it is part of that which is occurring at this time, part of the natural evolutionary process...this concerning the Ascension,Planet A and Planet B, which is behind or below Ascension. Both will have altered frequency and vibration, and to exist on either of those will entail a changing of the genetic DNA structure that is in existence at this time. The DNA structural change has been underway for several years already and will continue on until that divisional point occurs and the two planets come into existence, fully and completely.

The Scenario For Those Who Ascend on Planet A
(2008-8)
For those who are part of the Ascension process...some will have an acute understanding and awareness of what is occurring for there will be those who are advanced in the process themselves who, because of their nature and their roles and their purpose, have been working with the Ascension process more consciously than some others. For those who are aware of what is occurring, there may occur events where those who are not moving forward will truly disappear in front of their eyes, but they will know why this is occurring and they will understand that what is occurring is that those who cannot hold the frequency and vibration and advance, that vibration and frequency will begin to slow down until they simply disappear. There will be an acceleration as the event draws nearer and that acceleration will cause the accelerated vibrational rate.

Where Will Earth "A" Go After Ascension?
(2008-8)
It will go nowhere to establish its own space, for it will be in its own space already and needs not go anywhere.What is needed is the revision of the thought process around the .."going somewhere.."...It simply needs to vibrate at a different level. It will then be somewhere else. As a parallel example, there is a room that appears to be empty. There is no one else in the room, and yet at the very instant an individual is in the room, there are other beings in that room also, beings that are vibrating at a different rate, who may or may not be aware of the individual already occupying the room. Simply because one is not aware of others in the room because they are at a different vibrational rate does not mean that they are not occupying the same space at the same time. They have not had to go anywhere, they are simply in that space, just as other vibrations are in the space, as X-rays, gamma rays, television rays and radio waves or vibrations and frequencies all are in the room at the same time the individual is in that room. Therefore, the space that the individual occupies is hardly an empty space, even if he or she does not perceive the other individuals, the other frequencies that are also in that space at the same time. Thus it will be with both planets. Planet A and Planet B's frequencies will change. They will occupy, in a manner of speaking, the same space, but it will not be at the physical level. Planet A will lift itself beyond the physical, creating a new form of physicality at a different vibration or frequency. They will no longer intersect to any degree; their frequencies and vibrations being so different that they no longer have an interface together as they currently do, but in a manner of speaking, they still will be in the same space.

Dulce Underground Base
7a773b65598c.jpg
Alleged Dulce underground base sketch
ats45944_imageinformationiconyt41.gif
Dulce Underground Base is an alleged extraterrestrial installation in Dulce, New Mexico, located almost two miles beneath Archuleta Mesa on the Jicarilla Apache Indian Reservation. It is said the base is the first and main joint United StatesGovernment/alien biogenetics laboratory. Other such bases are claimed to exist in Colorado, Nevada, and Arizona.
People who claim the base exists, include supposed personnel members and construction workers.
Description
The alleged multi-level facility at Dulce is described as going down for at least seven levels, and is reported to have a central HUB which is controlled by base security. The level of security required to access different sections rises as one goes further down the facility. There are over 3000 real-time video cameras throughout the complex at high-security locations (entrances and exits). There are over 100 secret exits near and around Dulce: many around Archuleta Mesa, others to the south around Dulce Lake, and some as far east as Lindrith. Deep sections of the complex connect into natural cavern systems.
Levels
Some of the following information can also be found in some of the other sections and categories on the page.
Level 1
Level 1 is a parking garage and street maintenance level. All vehicles in the Dulce facility are stored here. No one drives in or out without seeing security and giving both their card and access number. It has been said that on the roads leading in to the garage there are magnetic sensors like those located around Area 51.
Level 2
Level 2 contains the garage for trains, shuttles, tunnel-boring machines and disc maintenance. This is where most of the shuttles are located as well. Most of the tunnel systems lead to more underground alien bases. Area 19, Area 51, Plant 42, Green river, Dugway, Edwards AFB, Page, an Arizona facility, to facilities below Taos, N.M.; Datil, N.M.; Colorado Springs, Colorado; Creed, Colorado; Sandia' then on to Carlsbad, New Mexico, the Denver International Airport, and some to Los Alamos in an underground base, which holds an Aurora spy plane.
Level 3
Has housing and complexes for workers and test subjects. This area is also a major control area, where most of the computers are centered and the whole base is controlled.
Level 4
Level 4 includes human-aura research, as well as all aspects of telepathy, hypnosis, and dreams. Some say they know how to separate the bioplasmic body from the physical body to place an "alien entity" life-force-matrix within a human body after removing the "soul" lifeforce-matrix of the human. Here, they have reportedly been able to unlock Telepathy and Psychicism, allowing humans and animals to use force without using muscles in the body.
Level 5
Holds alien housing for the "Grey" species and the "Reptoid" species. These two species live in the base, over five thousand to be exact. All of them are used for research, both their own and human.
Level 6
Level 6 is privately called Nightmare Hall. It holds the genetic labs, where experiments are done on fish, seals, birds, and mice that are vastly altered from their original form. There are multi-armed and multi-legged humans and several cages (and vats) of humanoid bat-like creatures as tall as 7-feet. The aliens have taught the humans a lot about genetics; things both useful and dangerous. This level also is for cloning of the Greys, who can not reproduce through usual methods and must clone to keep a steady population.
Level 7
Within Level 7 you may encounter humans in cages. Row after row of thousands of humans, human-mixture remains, and embryos of humanoids were kept in cold storage. A worker says,
I frequently encountered humans in cages, usually dazed or drugged, but sometimes they cried and begged for help. We were told they were hopelessly insane, and involved in high-risk drug tests to cure insanity. We were told to never speak to them at all. At the beginning we believed that story. Finally in 1978 a small group of workers discovered the truth. That began theDulce Wars.Grey species

Most of the aliens reside on sub-levels 5, 6, and 7 with alien housing on level 5. The alien species which control the majority of the complex are the Greys, a devious race, now considered an enemy of the New World Order. In the Fifties, the Greys began taking large numbers of humans for experiments. By the Sixties, the rate was sped up and they began getting careless and self-involved. By the Seventies, their true intentions became very obvious, but the "Special Group" of the Government still kept covering up for them. By the Eighties, the Government realized there was no defense against the Greys. So, programs were enacted to prepare the public for open contact with non-human extra-terrestrial (ET) beings.
Perhaps a possible ally, the Reptoid are an enemy species of the Greys, and their relationship is in a state of tension. The Greys only known enemy is the Reptillian Race, and they are on their way to Earth.
A man named Thomas C., famous for stealing the so-called "Dulce Papers", says that there are over 18,000 short "greys" at the Dulce facility. He also has stated how a colleague of his had come face-to-face with a 6-foot tall Reptoid which had materialized in his house. The Reptoid showed a great interest in research maps of New Mexico and Colorado which were on the wall. The maps were full of colored push-pins and markers to indicate sites of animal mutilations, caverns, locations of high Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) activity, repeated flight paths, abduction sites, ancient ruins, and suspected alien underground bases.
Some forces in the Government want the public to be aware of what is happening. Other forces The Collaborators want to continue making "whatever deals are necessary" for an Elite few to survive the conflicts.
Cloning humans for slave hybrids
The Secret Government cloned humans by a process perfected in the world's largest and most advanced biogenetic research facility, Los Alamos. The elite humans now have their own disposable slave-race. Like the alien Greys, the US Government secretly impregnated females, then removed the hybrid fetus after a three month time period, before accelerating their growth in laboratories. Biogenetics (DNA Manipulation) programming is then instilled - they are implanted and controlled at a distance through RF (Radio Frequency) transmissions.
Many Humans are also being implanted with brain transceivers. These act as telepathic communication "channels" and telemetric brain manipulation devices. This network was developed and initiated by Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). Two of the procedures were RHIC (Radio-Hypnotic Intercerebral Control) and EDOM (Electronic Dissolution of Memory).
They also developed ELF and EM (ElectroMagnetic) wave propagation equipment that affect the nerves and can cause nausea, fatigue, irritability, and even death. This research into biodynamic relationships within organisms has produced a technology that can change the genetic structure and heal.
Overt and covert research
U.S. Energy Secretary John Herrington named the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory and New Mexico's Los Alamos National Laboratory to house new advanced genetic research centers as part of a project to decipher the human genome. The genome holds the genetically coded instructions that guide the transformation of a single cell, a fertilized egg, into a biological organism.
"The Human Genome Project may well have the greatest direct impact on humanity of any scientific initiative before us today", said David Shirley, Director of the Berkeley Laboratory.
Covertly, this research has been going on for years at the Dulce bio-genetics labs. Level 6 is hauntingly known by employees as "Nightmare Hall". It holds the genetic labs at Dulce. Reports from workers who have seen bizarre experimentation, are as follows:
"I have seen multi-legged 'humans' that look like half-human/half-octopus. Also reptilian-humans and furry creatures that have hands like humans and cries like a baby, it mimics human words... also huge mixture of lizard-humans in cages. There are fish, seals, birds and mice that can barely be considered those species. There are several cages (and vats) of winged-humanoids, grotesque bat-like creatures...but 3 1/2 to 7 feet tall. Gargoyle-like beings and Draco-Reptoids."
"Level 7 is worse, row after row of thousands of humans and human mixtures in cold storage. Here too are embryo storage vats of humanoids in various stages of development. I frequently encountered humans in cages, usually dazed or drugged, but sometimes they cried and begged for help. We were told they were hopelessly insane, and involved in high-risk drug tests to cure insanity. We were told to never try to speak to them at all. At the beginning we believed that story. Finally in 1978 a small group of workers discovered the truth. It began the Dulce Wars".
When the truth was evident that humans were being produced from abducted females, impregnated against their will, a secret resistance group formed. This did little though, over time they were assassinated or "died under mysterious circumstances".
As previously stated, there are over 18,000 "aliens" at the Dulce complex. In late 1979, there was a confrontation, primarily over weaponry and the majority of human scientists and military personnel were killed. The facility was closed for a while, but is currently active.
Human and animal abductions slowed in the mid-1980s, when the Livermore Berkeley Labs began production of artificial blood for Dulce. William Cooper states: "A clash occurred where in 66 people, of our people, from the National Recon Group, the DELTA group, which is responsible for security of all alien connected projects, were killed."
The DELTA Group (within Intelligence Support Activity) has been seen with badges that have a black Triangle on a red background. DELTA is the fourth letter of the Greek alphabet. It has the form of a triangle, and figures prominently in certain Masonic Signs. EACH BASE HAS ITS OWN SYMBOL. The Dulce Base symbol is a triangle with the Greek letter "Tau" (T) within it and then the symbol is inverted, so the triangle points down.
The Insignia of "a triangle and 3 laterial lines" has been seen on "Saucer (transport) Craft", The Tri-Laterial Symbol.
Other symbols mark landing sights and alien craft.

Security Officers wear jump suits, with the Dulce Symbol on the front upper left side. The standard hand weapon at Dulce is a "Flash Gun", which is good against humans and aliens. The ID card (used in card slots, for the doors and elevators) has the Dulce Symbol above the ID photo. "Government Honchos" use cards with the Great Seal of the U.S. on it, stating the words New World Orderin Latin.

A parasitic microbe commonly found in cats might have helped shape entire human cultures by manipulating the personalities of infected individuals, according to a new study.
Infection by a Toxoplasma gondii could make some individuals more prone to some forms of neuroticism and could lead to differences among cultures if enough people are infected, says Kevin Lafferty, a U.S. Geological Survey scientist at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
In a survey of different countries, Lafferty found that people living in those with higher rates of T. gondii infection scored higher on average for neuroticism, defined as an emotional or mental disorder characterized by high levels of anxiety, insecurity or depression.
His finding is detailed in the Aug. 2 issue of the journal for Proceedings of the Royal Society, Biology.
Manipulating behavior
T. gondii infects both wild and domestic cats, but it is carried by many warm-blooded mammals. One recent study showed that the parasite makes normally cautious rats outgoing and more prone to engage in reckless behavior, such as hanging around areas frequently marked by cat urine, making the rats easy targets.
Scientists estimate that the parasite has infected about 3 billion people, or about half of the human population. Studies by researchers in the Czech Republic have suggested T. gondii might have subtle but long-term effects on its human hosts. The parasite is thought to have different, and often opposite effects in men versus women, but both genders appear to develop a form of neuroticism called "guilt proneness."
Other studies have also found links between the parasite and schizophreniaT. gondii infection is known to damage astrocytes, support cells in the brain that are also affected during schizophrenia. Pregnant women with high levels of antibodies to the parasite are also more likely to give birth to children who will develop the disorder.
In light of such studies, Lafferty wondered whether high rates of T. gondii infection in a culture could shift the average personality of its individuals.
"In populations where this parasite is very common, mass personality modification could result in cultural change," Lafferty said.
The distribution of T. gondii could explain differences in cultural aspects that relate to ego, money, material possessions, work and rules, Lafferty added. In some countries, infections by the cat parasite are very rare, while in others nearly all adults are infected.
Adding to cultural diversity
To test his hypothesis, Lafferty looked at published data on cultural dimensions and average personalities for different countries. The countries examined also kept records of the prevalence of T. gondii antibodies in women of childbearing age. Countries with high prevalence of T. gondii infection also had higher average neuroticism scores.
"There could be a lot more to this story," Lafferty said. "Different responses to the parasite by men and women could lead to many additional cultural effects that are, as yet, difficult to analyze."
Lafferty thinks that climate could be an important factor in determining which human populations are infected by T. gondii. The parasite's eggs can survive longer in humid, low-altitude regions, especially at mid latitudes that have infrequent freezing and thawing.
Other factors could also influence infection rates, including how a culture's attitudes about having cats as pets and the hygiene practices of its people.
Despite its association with neuroticism, Lafferty doesn't think all of the cat parasite's effects on human culture are bad.
"After all, they add to our cultural diversity," he said.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - North Korea vowed to retaliate if punitive U.N. sanctions are imposed for its latest nuclear test, and U.S. officials said there are new signs Pyongyang may be planning more long-range missile launches.
With tensions rising, the communist nation punctuated its barrage of rhetoric with yet another short-range missile launch on Friday - the sixth this week.
Perhaps more significantly, officials in Washington said there are indications of increased activity at a site used to fire long-range missiles. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because methods of gathering information about North Korea are sensitive.
A South Korean newspaper reported on Saturday that U.S. spy satellites detected signs the North was preparing to transport a long-range missile from an armament factory near Pyongyang to its northeastern Musudan-ni launch pad. The mass-circulation Dong-a Ilbo paper, citing an unidentified source in Washington, said it would take about 15 days for the North to move the missile to the pad by train.

The Supreme Court keeps finding ways to deny women equal pay and benefits.

In 2007, it denied a woman’s claim for equal pay because it thought she waited too long to file it. On Monday, the court sided against female retirees who get smaller pensions than their male colleagues because they got pregnant and took maternity leaves before Congress got around to outlawing discrimination on that basis.

The case involved four retired employees of AT&T who took maternity leaves between 1968 and 1976 — before the law required employers to offer pregnancy leaves on equal terms with other disability conditions. The women were denied full credit for those leaves.

Both sides of the 7-to-2 ruling, including the exasperated dissent signed by Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer, agreed that the sort of pay discrimination at issue is now illegal.


Nevertheless, a seven-member majority — including two generally reliable votes for equality, Justices John Paul Stevens and David Souter — found AT&T’s continued shortchanging of the four women to be permissible. It reasoned mainly that the pregnancy leaves predated the 1978 law, and since the law was not retroactive, the discrepancy in benefits was the product of “past, completed events that were entirely lawful at the time they occurred.”


That may sound logical, but it is not just. Writing in dissent, Justice Ginsburg agreed that the 1978 Pregnancy Discrimination Act does not require redress for past discrimination. But, quite correctly, she saw AT&T’s ongoing denial of equal benefits not as past discriminatory behavior that started and ended decades ago, but as a current violation of the act. (In much the same way, Goodyear discriminated against Lilly Ledbetter by maintaining her unequal pay for years, not merely the first time the company underpaid her.)


“I am persuaded by the act’s text and legislative history,” wrote Justice Ginsburg, “that Congress intended no continuing reduction of women’s compensation, pension benefits included, attributable to their placement on pregnancy leave.”

Congress will have to write corrective legislation.

It don’t get much weirder than this. The universe is about to lose its dimension of time says a group of theoretical astrobods at the University of Salamanca in Spain. And they got the evidence to prove it.


The idea comes from the study of braneworlds: the thinking that the universe we see around us is a 4-dimensional cosmos called a braneworld embedded in a multidimensional universe. The “signature” of our universe is the number of space and time-like dimensions it has: in our case we got 3 space-like dimensions and one time-like dimension. It’s what astrobods call a Lorentzian universe. So far so good: lots of astronutters think the same thing.


But our universe may not always have been like this. Some theorists think it may once have had a Euclidean signature meaning that all the dimensions were space-like. Now Marc “Bars” Mars and a few pals in Spain say that the Universe’s signature might be about to flip from Lorentzian to Euclidean. In other words, our dimension of time is about turn space-like. Gulp!


This ain’t entirely bonkers and here’s why. Bars Mars has calculated what it’s like to be an observer in a universe that is about to flip and get this: it would look as if it were expanding and accelerating away from us. Sound familiar?


Yep, it’s exactly what astrobods have been observin over the last few years, a phenomenon they attribute to dark energy. If Bars Mars is right, dark energy ain’t got nothing to do with it and we’re all starin’ down the barrel of a cosmic catastrophe.

Still, maybe four space-like dimensions will be better than three. Who needs time anyway?

In the last few years, astronomers have had problems with a seemingly obvious definition: what, exactly, is a planet, as opposed to a star? Most people, thinking in an Earth-chauvinistic way, might point out that planets are hard, solid, rocky things, while stars are made of hydrogen and helium. But in fact, half of the planets in our solar system have no solid surface at all, and are composed of pretty much the same kinds of gas that makes up our Sun.

Well, then, what about the blazingly obvious observation that stars shine? Stars give off heat, light, and many other kinds of radiation. Planets have no energy sources of their own, do they? We all know that the Earth is totally dependent on the Sun's energy for heat and light.

Things are actually quite a bit different in the outer parts of our solar system. While it's true that none of the planets shine in visible light, all of the four gas giants in our solar system (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) actually give off more radiation than they get from the Sun. The extra energy, in the form of heat, comes from gravity compressing the planet's gases more and more over time. You could say that these planets really haven't finished forming yet. Gravity is still crushing together the gases that form these planets, and they will someday be denser and cooler. If you had eyes sensitive to infrared radiation, these planets would actually "shine" on their own.

Admittedly, this kind of heating through compression is much different from the hydrogen fusion that fuels the stars, and that, in the end, is what differentiates a star from a planet. Stars are able to sustain thermonuclear fusion reaction in their cores, planets are not. But, interestingly, even nuclear fusion is a little bit of a gray area. For planets about ten times the mass of Jupiter, research suggests that early in their formation, there may be a stage where deuterium (heavy hydrogen) fusion occurs deep inside their cores. For slightly more massive planets, even normal hydrogen fusion may happen for a limited time. So, in a real way, these massive "planets" may have been "stars" in the past, depending on your definition.

See the problem?

The confusion over this gray area has led to the classification of a new kind of celestial object, the brown dwarf. A brown dwarf is something that is a bit too massive to be a planet, but not quite massive enough to be a star (and the plural is indeed "dwarfs" not "dwarves"). Most scientists are getting comfortable defining brown dwarfs as objects with masses ranging from a few times the mass of Jupiter, to about a tenth of the mass of the Sun.

The word "dwarf" in astronomy usually denotes a small star. A red dwarf, for example, is a small, dim star that burns its hydrogen so slowly that all it can manage is a faint red glow in the sky. So, the "dwarf" part of a brown dwarf seems to suggest that it is some kind of star. But the "brown" part calls to mind the brownish clouds of giant planets like Jupiter and Saturn.

In fact, some of the smaller brown dwarfs may look very much like Jupiter indeed. One of Jupiter's most famous attributes is its great red spot, which is actually a giant hurricane about 15,000 miles across. Recently, astronomers may have detected weather on a brown dwarf that would make Jupiter's storm look more like a tempest in a teapot. Like the giant planets in our own solar system, brown dwarfs are steadily being compressed by gravity, and cool off over time. Most objects in space become fainter as their temperature drops, but for some reason, brown dwarfs bucked this trend. There seemed to be a transition temperature where, although a brown dwarf was indeed getting cooler, it also got brighter. Astronomers couldn't explain this until they tried to model how giant storms would influence the appearance of brown dwarfs.

To begin with, brown dwarf atmospheres are very hot, about 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit, and the farther down into the brown dwarf you go, the hotter it gets. At extreme temperatures like that, lots of chemicals would be vaporized and swirling, even stuff like iron and silicon. Over time, as the brown dwarf cools off, there has to be a transition period when the vapors in the atmosphere condense, much like steam condensing back into water droplets as it cools.

This condensation phase would fill vast cloud layers with liquid metals, which would whip up lightening storms the likes of which our solar system has never seen. As the cloud layers break up due to the turbulence, lower and hotter parts of the atmosphere would be exposed to space, and able to radiate away their heat. The extra radiation expected from the lower cloud layers turns out to match very well the extra brightness that brown dwarfs exhibit as they cool off.

It's not the only possible explanation, but for the time being, it seems to be a good one. It also gives us one a dramatic new image: somewhere, right now, titanic thunderstorms are rocking the atmosphere of a brown dwarf, creating a downpour of molten iron rain. And while it may not be linked to storm activity, some brown dwarfs give off periodic flares of X-ray radiation. Something, perhaps deep down in the tangled magnetic field of the brown dwarf, is creating surges of electrical current though the atmosphere, releasing violent X-ray jolts like huge strokes of lightening.

Observing brown dwarfs will surely become a hot topic, pardon the pun, in the coming decade. One important question to be addressed is whether brown dwarfs form more like stars or planets. At the moment, brown dwarfs are thought to form in much the same way as stars, inside the core of a collapsing interstellar dust cloud. The only thing that stopped the brown dwarf from becoming a star was that is was not able to accumulate enough mass to drive its temperature enough to create sustainable nuclear reactions.

In a way, it may be correct to think of brown dwarfs as stillborn stars. On the other hand, brown dwarfs may have begun life more like a planet, forming in a spinning disk of material around a young star. Recent models suggest that in systems where two planets at least the size of Jupiter form, one will eventually migrate in to a closer orbit around its star, while the other will get thrown off into space. Is it possible that some brown dwarfs formed this way, and have kicked their twin out of the nest?

Could life exist around a brown dwarf? It's not as silly as it sounds; just think of the moons of Jupiter, like Europa, that are heated by tidal interaction with their parent planet, instead of sunlight. Europa may have warm saltwater oceans underneath its think layer of ice, and there's no reason to assume that there couldn't be a similar moon around a brown dwarf. Somewhere between stars and planets, there's a whole new kind of world waiting to be explored.

I told you this was a stage-managed collapse and the money laundered out... my guess? Oh, I have a good working theory on what went down. At some point, I will sit down and jot it all down. But here is the latest news:

A House oversight panel is investigating the role Bush administration officials and regulators played in the collapse of American International Group. The first step of the investigation begins Thursday, House Oversight and Government Affairs Committee Chairman Ed Towns (D-N.Y.) tells the Huffington Post, when the committee hears testimony from former AIG CEO Hank Greenberg.

In November 2004, the Bush Justice Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission agreed not to prosecute AIG for allegedly helping companies fudge their books. In exchange, AIG agreed to host a government-appointed auditor in company meetings. At the time, Greenberg said it brought "finality to the claims raised by the SEC and the Department of Justice."

Towns said that Greenberg should be able to identify Bush administration officials involved in the decision-making around the settlement. Towns added the committee wants to know what Bush administration regulators knew about AIG's credit default swaps and other highly risky positions that brought the company down.

Oh I think it is not just Bush admin officials. In fact, I think it is more than regulators knowing. I would wager that some of this money was diverted into campaign coffers. In fact, I would wager the direct involvement of Jack Abramoff in this and certain firms at K Street tied to Tom Delay and others.

Ask yourself what is in it for those engaged on the government side of things? Money, big money. And not just money, but insurance of a different sort. The Bush admin - it seems to me - was running a protection racket. No matter what industry we look at, we see regulators not regulating, investigators not investigating, and so forth. In other words, we will pay into your election coffer or what-not, and in exchange you call off the dogs.

It is the flip side of the US Attorney Scandal as well. On one side you have pressure to prosecute political enemies, but I think likely corporate enemies could be added to this list. So, for example, you are big tobacco and you have a problem with massive class action cases. Your problem is taken care of via the DOJ just as AIG is taken care of by having regulators look the other way.

In all of this, money needs to change hands. That money would have had to be laundered. Enter Jack Abramoff and others like him, and there are several like him who are still in play. This is why investigative journalism is so important and why we need more investigative journalists involved. Alas, that is wishful thinking.
