*Don’t Ignore The Blue Sky.

Ignorance Is Futile:

I realize that many of the things I try to ‘expose’ here are technically "Blue Sky" technologies, but since such alarms aren’t known to be existing technologies does that make them any less critical? This is a look into Blue Sky technologies becoming reality in the short term if
Artificial General Intelligence succeeds.


First and foremost, I must point out that my warnings in areas such as Skynet’esque ‘AGI’ aren’t my own predictions. Instead, those are the predictions of those trying to make it happen, which I try to warn everyone about. I will add that they have compelling arguments in their favor, and the constant and ‘predictable’ technological progress that they cite does hit home in their favor. So while overall I might be a theorist of sorts, the ‘theories’ I’ve always put the most energy towards are in fact the theories of those I’m against.


My entire motivation is based on the fact that such AGI / Technological Singularity notions are openly stated and well funded goals by the government and the bankster run Corporatocracy that controls it. To me, this alone is the cause for concern, even if they didn’t have compelling arguments that they might actually succeed. Look into the National Debt and realize that this nation is already bankrupted. We can’t even afford to fund such programs even if they could ensure the whole "Terminator" or "Matrix" scenario could actually be avoided (the AGI advocates all admit that it can’t).


My concerns would still exist even if we could afford it, and if there was no such thing as the "New World Order" or "Neocommunism" (designed to bankrupt all of society to ensure that the masses will never be able to afford to reap the benefits of the technologies their tax dollars are being spent to create). Humanity still faces being run over by a freight-train juggernaut machine, even those realities aside. After countless thousands of hours of research in recent years, I’m convinced that the tyrannical Ruling Establishment is perpetrating what most call the "New World Order". Due to this, the implications of the Blue Sky are vastly more alarming.


Some would argue that if such a control freak establishment were in control as I can almost literally prove beyond the shadow of a doubt, then why would they risk their control? The easy answer would be they believe they’ll be "gods" via such technolgies, with the nanobot neural implants jacked in the Google God machine, but I argue much further.


The motivations I speak of are quite beyond just mere neural enhancement driven collective consciousness. So many times in the past, here and there, I’ve argued that a key motivation is in kick-starting the Technological Singularity.After passing that "Event Horizon", the technological progress of multiple exotic ‘new’ technologies such as bio and nanotechnology will go into overdrive. That would inherently mean that whatever sorts of possibilities there ar ein terms of Life Extension and other things could come in a few or so years instead of decades.


I apply the same reasoning to whatever other Blue Sky technologies one could imagine. A couple years ago at “ATS", I argued that the AGI agenda is also about other “Blue Sky" tech’s such as Weather Control. I add to that other things such as Light Speed and beyond, and things like Time Travel. Whatever is actually possible would become reality ‘lightyears’ faster with the advent of AGI.


In regards to Weather Control,  there already exists methods and materials to modify weather in certain ways. I argue, and history shows that the dream of military commanders would be to control weather. I argue that this would require not only specialized satellites, but also vast networks of intelligent computational machines to be able to calculate such. While it wouldn’t surprise me if "They" actually could control storms, I don’t think they can yet do it under computational technologies that we know about actually existing.


The implications of weather control in the hands of a tyrannical global hegemonic empire should be obvious. What I’m concerned even more about is actually Time Travel. In particular, anyway of sending people, materials or even simply messages of whatever sort back in time is of maximum concern. I’d be concerned about anyone getting this actually, but the current masters of the world getting such power are to be feared most.


No one knows how things really work, if there are in fact parallel universes, meaning that if they went back and changed something it would just apply to some other reality that wouldn’t effect us. For all we know they could already be doing it. Imagine that nightmare. There’s no telling what would happen. Even if there are parallel universes why should some other worldwide reality be subject to such potential tyranny? Given enough time, such tyrants could infect and desolate virtually limitless possibe realities.

That would be terrible in itself, but as far as we’re all concerned what if whatever they change only affects us? Would we even be able to notice or prove such occurences? If there were any chance, would we be even more dumbed down and indoctrinated into deeper mindsets of absurdity to have any chance of awakening to the evil and fighting back?


These ideas are but more reason why the advent of AGI is the most important and potentially devastating path humanity must consider. Over the years I’ve extensively proven the Technological Establishment’s AGI Manhattan Project, as chronicled in my site here. The only theory about it is their own, that they can do it.


I refuse to sit back and wait for the results, but for now there exists no national or global debate. They’re attempting to march us head first into this thing, while bankrupting us all on the way there. Meanwhile a global dictatorship worldwide Police State is being built as the platform. In my view, it’s easy to guess what such an AGI would become, according to its own designs.


In conclussion, don’t ignore the Blue Sky. Don’t wait for it to fall.

*Obama nominates AI pioneer as Pentagon Director of Defense Research & Engineering.

Obama, who likes to talk about innovation in technological revolutions, has nominated one Zachary Lemnios as DoD Director of Defense Research & Engineering. This guy helped setup DARPA’s IPTO to spearhead the type of AI you see in the movies. Danger Room has more details. In other recent Obama-DARPA news, they might be nominating one Regina Dugan as DARPA chief, although her story is far less interesting.She’s not an AI/AGI ‘pioneer’ as is Lemnios, but he’s her boss along with the rest of the DoD science R&D machinery:

*”Anti-Technology Extremsists” (Neo-Luddites) Added to the Terrorist List.


The new Homeland Security “Lexicon” document has been making rounds, and many others have noted the “Anti-Technology Extremsists” (ATE) portion. I’d like to explain what that is all about, and my answer to the related Unabomber Manifesto.

Here’s the quote from the document:


A movement of groups or individuals opposed to technology. These groups have been known to advocate or engage in criminal activity and plot acts of violence and terrorism in an attempt to advance their extremist goals. They have targeted college and university laboratories, scholars, biotechnology industries, U.S. corporations involved in the computer or airline industry, and others.
(also: Neo-Luddites)


Neo-Luddites:


The Luddite Movement began in the 1800’s in light on the ‘new’ machines of that day replacing jobs that used to be done manually by humans. The ‘founder’ was a actually a folklore character named Ned Ludd. During their heyday machines were vandalized and so on. Eventually it fizzled out.


Despite Ned Ludd being fictional, Neo-Eugenecist Ray Kurzweil claims that Ned Ludd wasn’t prosecuted because he was in Kurzweil’s own words “feeble minded”, on page 125 in his book “The Age of Spiritual Machines”. That term is specifically the same term used roughly in the Luddite period by Eugenecists to justify forced sterilizations and even death for the “feebleminded”.


The “Neo-Luddite Movement” is widely projected to be symbolized by the Unabomber (Ted Kaczynski, Ph.D.) in circles who criticize the movement, although the masses at large hardly rememer anything about what he stood for while HLS is now labeling Neo-Luddites as violent terrorists.


Kurzweil actually quotes a most daunting section from the Unabomber Manifesto that went largely ignored and is most eye-opening:


172. First let us postulate that the computer scientists succeed in developing intelligent machines that can do all things better that human beings can do them. In that case presumably all work will be done by vast, highly organized systems of machines and no human effort will be necessary. Either of two cases might occur. The machines might be permitted to make all of their own decisions without human oversight, or else human control over the machines might be retained.


173. If the machines are permitted to make all their own decisions, we can’t make any conjectures as to the results, because it is impossible to guess how such machines might behave. We only point out that the fate of the human race would be at the mercy of the machines. It might be argued that the human race would never be foolish enough to hand over all the power to the machines. But we are suggesting neither that the human race would voluntarily turn power over to the machines nor that the machines would willfully seize power. What we do suggest is that the human race might easily permit itself to drift into a position of such dependence on the machines that it would have no practical choice but to accept all of the machines decisions. As society and the problems that face it become more and more complex and machines become more and more intelligent, people will let machines make more of their decision for them, simply because machine-made decisions will bring better result than man-made ones. Eventually a stage may be reached at which the decisions necessary to keep the system running will be so complex that human beings will be incapable of making them intelligently. At that stage the machines will be in effective control. People won’t be able to just turn the machines off, because they will be so dependent on them that turning them off would amount to suicide.


174. On the other hand it is possible that human control over the machines may be retained. In that case the average man may have control over certain private machines of his own, such as his car of his personal computer, but control over large systems of machines will be in the hands of a tiny elite — just as it is today, but with two difference. Due to improved techniques the elite will have greater control over the masses; and because human work will no longer be necessary the masses will be superfluous, a useless burden on the system. If the elite is ruthless the may simply decide to exterminate the mass of humanity. If they are humane they may use propaganda or other psychological or biological techniques to reduce the birth rate until the mass of humanity becomes extinct, leaving the world to the elite. Or, if the elite consist of soft-hearted liberals, they may decide to play the role of good shepherds to the rest of the human race. They will see to it that everyone’s physical needs are satisfied, that all children are raised under psychologically hygienic conditions, that everyone has a wholesome hobby to keep him busy, and that anyone who may become dissatisfied undergoes “treatment” to cure his “problem.” Of course, life will be so purposeless that people will have to be biologically or psychologically engineered either to remove their need for the power process or to make them “sublimate” their drive for power into some harmless hobby. These engineered human beings may be happy in such a society, but they most certainly will not be free. They will have been reduced to the status of domestic animals.


In his total works he proposes destroying the system and moving into the wild as the only solution to our own problem child.


He might be right about it being the only total solution. I’ve taken on the view that it might be possible to stop the New World Order, but not the technology. But if we do stop the NWO there’s a chance to setback AGI and the Technological Singularity by several decades as these are deliberate agendas whereas these events will not come about in the next few years without such an effort. As it stands society is nowhere near being ready for such a transition, and havent even been consulted as to if its even a road we want to go down.


So the best case scenarios to stop Kaczynski’s nightmare is total chaos ridden systematic and societal breakdown which would inherently result in a massive ‘culling’ of the populations of the idustrialized world, or a global dictatorship to control the advancement of technology. Ironically we’re already facing each disaster ’solution’ being engineered by the architects of the NWO, although they’re attepting to bankrupt us in order to stop us from being able to afford the advanced technologies for ourselves.


I propose another solution:
Stop the NWO now, and then move off into “Neo-Amish” cities of humans. These wouldnt be total counter-technology based domains like todays Amish, instead we can still have the technologies and such that we’re all used to except we’ve all chosen to remain as non-upgraded or nanobot / microchip implanted autonomous individual humans not inteterested in the Transhumanist world that would view us as obsolete sub-humans who would try to get us to join the their collective, in a system where we wouldn’t be able to compete with them and the AGI machines for jobs anyways.


Under this solution global scale class and species warfare like never before will still be inevitable after a long enough time, but we’ll be able to live good lives for however many decades that would buy us.

>Google is kicking my ass.

Their AI has beat me to the punches. It is now the gatekeeper, and it now targets my old films and ones I’ve been trying to make. As the web video juggernaut, not being able to have films on Youtube and Google Video (GooTube) is poising to be the ultimate death blow to my own efforts and many others.


Over three and a half years have passed since I read the original Google/NASA merger press release and was floored. At that time I was just barely starting to put a picture together of any concept of the Police State and New World Order. I didnt even know who DARPA was, nor anything else concrete in terms of government / military AGI programs and the players on the field. But when I read the Google/NASA merger I immediately knew its implications.


So years have passed and I’ve made attempts at videos and other work in relation to that issue and others I’ve learned on the way, probably as a result. The problem is I’ve written far more about Google than I have rendered as video. Everytime I embark on a new film project my brain goes into overdrive and I go too ambitious with my perception and understanding of the big picture ever expanding, while constant news and ‘progress’ in my areas of focus happen as fast or faster than I can articulate it all into a film of my esque.


Google is now yanking things from GooTube. Although the focus seems to be on things I’ve rendered myself rather than snippets of things captured, I still suspect their AI is sniffing out the content. Recently they yanked my ‘classic’ “They Want Your Soul” completely, for having clips from TV and so on in it.


Next they targeted an old trailer for my original “An Unholy Alliance” concept, for having some Fear Factory mixed in heavily with my own effects. They didn’t delete the entire video, instead they just removed the entire audio track. You can still watch it without audio. I’m surprised they didnt yank the whole thing for splicing the Al Gore’s “‘Terror Factory” from his movie poster.


Its only a matter of time before almost nothing will get passed it. Especially not if you’re on the red flag list.


So in hindsight I realize that most of the projects I have in various states of completion will be nabbed one way or another by Google God. I will have to go almost completely original in all visuals and audio. With the time it takes for eveything I attempt this is a major hurdle to go along with the rest of my trials.


I can probably make due with original and obscure for AUA, but with others such as “The Killing Machine: Iraq” its impossible. That film was to be the most ruthless and aggressive film even I could ever muster, and without the elements I know Google will nab it cannot be so. That film is a good example of how hard it is to do this sort of material. The key segment involved ‘kill counters’ and such with smashing visuals in a way to make your head explode. The idea was that noone could ever watch and support the war again. But with technical setbacks in other areas after spending weeks on one or 2 difficult segments and then needing computer upgrades to even be able to render it all the counter work was obsolete. Should have planned ahead. By then I was sucked into other things. Now I’ll have to add a whole new segment and more Post-Dubya. Long ago I said I’d release it when the kill count hit 5,000. Now its past that and Google will shut me down either way. Tragedy.


So if anyone is still reading this far, I’ll be in need of music artists in particular, and even some visual artists might help in the future. I was about ready to go on AUA when the New Great Depression kicked film-making-ability’s my teeth in. My shifting of gears in response currently has my head on the curb, and Google stands at the gates whenever I can stand back up. That time will come, but not until I can go all out in that regard, which wont be this month. So when that time comes I hope I’m not alone in trying to get past Google, to help take down Google and the Technological Establishments New World Order.

Are there still Obama supporters out there in the real world?

This is a question that I cant get out of my head. I recall over 3 years ago on here wondering how there were still Bush supporters. Over the past year I've recieved the same venom (almost word for word) over Obama as I used to get from the Bush worshippers. All year I've been easy on the Obama people, so I havent been attacked. But not being attacked doesnt answer the question.

How do you get pat these facts:

1. His Tresurary Secretary Geitner is a former head of the New York branch of the (privately owned) Federal Reserve, and was a key architect of the Economic Meltdown.

2. He supports Bush's warrantless wiretapping, and all signs show that he's expanding it.

3. He's been part of spending almost 13 trillion dollars since last October, that barely even shows up on the 'common' National Debt.

4. He began his campaign saying withdrawal from iraq would be immediate. Today the figure is up to 23 months.

5. He doesn't acknowledge the over 760 foreign US military bases, and calls for more military spending and more forces in Afghanistan.

6. The phrase "American Imperialism" doesn't exist in his vast array of slogans.

I'm just getting started. I'd like to remind people that he's not even "Black". He's half African. HALF. 50%. So when he says "I'm a black man" (I have video clips) he's roughly half full of shit. Meaning, out the gates, his entire aura is already half way fiction. And this is even before we get into issues. Yet I wouldn't even bring it up had it only been the controlled Media pushing this image. I have numerous video clips of him saying this. And this needs to be said, as the Media is now calling Obama criticism nothing but racist hate mongering, no matter the actual arguments. I dont care what race he is, unless he's about half way full of shit about what it is. Then I want to know about the issues... and those 6 are only scratching the surface.

Please, explain the above issues to me. Then watch this:

Please, explain it to me... I miss the debates here. I used to learn a lot from all of you.

I reiterate:


It has quite recently come to my realization that the “Zeitgeist Movement” and cosponsor “Venus Project” are a hardcore front in the New World Order / Neocommunist / Eugenicist-Transhumanist agenda. 


They call for:
1. Global Government.
2. AI Automatons replacing humans as workers.
3. AGI ('Skynet') Supercomuters controlling most aspects of politics and society.
4. A Utopian Agenda that "Peter" claims isn't Utopian, yet the 'research institute' even describes itself as being Utopian / Futurist.
5. Selfish Transhumanist Agenda.
6. Cashless (non-backed by Gold) economic system. A 'Resource Economy' has been tried before... in the Soviet Union.
7. Population Control.
And that’s what I've gathered just glancing over it. You should see some of the stuff in their forums...
It's already a worshipful, Cult-Of-Personality movement. Talk about cajones to attempt to name a global government movement after a viral video you put on the Internet. It would be like Alex Jones trying to start a 'Terrorstorm Movement', or Michael Moore trying to start a 'SiCKO Movement'. Too bad Google took down They Want Your Soul lol.
In regards to to AI automaton robots taking our jobs, I was actually using the term "Neocommunist" in reference to this notion put forth by Kurzweil and the Transhumanist movement. Later I seen what the 'Banker Bailout' really was, how the central privately owned Federal Reserve was taking the mortgage industry and others, and started applying the term to that. At first it seemed to me that they were already beginning the transition, by design. Later I took the view that we're being plundered to no end to prevent the masses from affording Non-Transhumanist Life Extension Technologies, so now I profess the Mad Max Scenario.

I need to make my movies. They inherently attack certain key notions profusely professed by this 'new' 'movement', despite certain agreements (the Federal Reserve is detrimental, etc).

*Expand your Heirloom Seedbank ‘for free’.



This is an easy one, but you'll likely need to have some heirloom seeds to start off with.


These 2 sources provide good heirloom starter kits:
http://www.grannywarriors.com/

http://www.internet-grocer.net/seeds.htm

But you can always order packets from other sources.


Now reach out to try to swap others for their types and varieties. Obviously start by contacting likeminded others that you know.


Then try posting ads in the "Barter" section at Craigslist. This should be the best way locally. I've never noticed anyone trying to do swaps on Yahoo "Freecycle", haven't tried it yet, and don't know if they'll allow it.
You could also try other local avenues. Wikipedia mentions a concept known as "
Seedy Sunday", but Google God doesn't bring up anything for my local city.


This site is a seed swap forum offering some really exotic stuff:
http://forums2.gardenweb.com/forums/exseed/
And there are others like it.


You can also post your email in the comments here and maybe we can get a list of swappers going. But please don't post unless you already have seeds.

*Power thru knowledge in going off the grid. (FREE BOOKS)








“Master Blaster runs Barter Town”.

In Beyond Thunderdome, the “Master” character held power for 2 reasons. First, he was the only one who knew how to run the ‘pig shit’ methane plant, and second, he had “Blaster” to protect him. If you don’t have your own ‘blaster’ I can’t help you much to protect yourself, but here is power:
Google Books.

If things like power, water, the Internet, and supply lines go away you can either live rough, or you can possess the knowledge to build and create virtually everything we take for granted. Long ago before Nicola Tesla gave the world alternating electricity somehow people managed to crate a vast bit of the sort of stuff we have today with the major exception of things that run off of electricity.

And as it turns out books from that era often tell you how they did it. Google Books offers out of date and copyright-free books as direct download PDF files. So what you do is think of keywords of what you’d want to be able to make, punch that in the search box, set it to ‘Full View Only’ and viola most of the results are usually downloadable books from the 1700’s, 1800’s and even early 1900’s.

Some examples phrases are: yeast, soap, forging, ammunition, farming, brewing, cooking, and so on. Just think of everything you’d want and odds are you’ll find dozens of books telling you how to do it. In reading the titles in your searches you’ll even see more specific words to punch in.
You can also get a great deal of videos and so on using regular searches, and other avenues such as topic related forums or bitorrent.

To turn this into virtually endless future Barter Economy capital you’ll need a laptop computer, a printer, lots of ink refill juice & cases of printer paper, and at least a 45W solar panel (that you’d want to have anyways).

Be sure to have these files backed up on more than one (each disk) disk thats well protected. You might even be able to barter for some of the needed items like laptops and printers, and for next to nothing if there doesnt exist an electrical grid.
As long as you can keep the printer paper flowing with invaluable data you have endless Mad Max currency.

*How to 'Pan For Gold' at the Grocery Store (FREE SEEDS)
Some claim that during the first Great Depression seeds were worth more than gold. It makes sense... especially if you have over 100 different types of seeds.
Today "heirloom seeds" would obviously be worth the most being natural instead of genetically modified. But lets face it, unless your diet is completely devoid of fruits and vegetables, for all you know you eat GMO foods daily if you shop at the local grocery.
Its still best to have non-GMO seeds, and is you have the bucks you can order them, or if you search all the stores you'll find some foods marked Heirloom from time to time. But regardless, pretty much everyday we eat or throw away seeds that we could be saving, and growing for more free food and seeds.

Not everything you can buy will have mature enough seeds to grow, but most stuff that has seeds inside does. So the more markets you visit the more unique items you can get your hands on. Bulbs you can plant outright (to then let mature and set seeds to collect), and some stuff like Leeks and Green Onions still have their roots and will grow once planted. Some whole plants with their roots lopped off, such as Mini Bok Choy, will actually grow their flower mast and survive long enough to set seeds for you.

So we're basically looking at buying groceries and getting free seeds. On my first trip I was grabbing small amounts of each item with some stuff coming out to $.15 to get a decent amount of seeds for the variety. Now its all routine buying whatever is unique and is for dinner.
Certain things you'll still need to buy the seeds for normally. Where I live the local "Dollar General" stores have a decent selection of seeds that cost 3 for $1. And a local Asian market has Asian vareity seed packs for $.99, which provides some cheap alternatives to the 'Home Debit' type stores.
So when I go grocery shopping I now call it 'Prospecting", and at home I have a stack of paper plate 'Gold Pans' I use to sort most seeds on. Other seeds like Tomato can be a pain. With the salimy types you'll need to pour the goup into a jar with some water, and leave in the sun for 1 or more days to let the slime decompose and slide of the seeds. The seeds are ready when you can add water and pour off the organic content with the seeds sinking to the bottom instead of staying suspended mid-level with the rest of it. Google God can tell you the rest.

Some sites to get heirloom seeds from:
http://www.grannywarriors.com/
http://www.heirloomseeds.com/

http://rareseeds.com/

*Big Screen TV’s: The Ultimate Survival Tool?!



Betcha’d never expect to hear me say that. But at least I’ve finally found a meaningful way to say ‘Kill Your TV’.







It turns out that rear-projection tv’s contain a most useful item: the Fresnel Lens. It is a huge magnifying lens (the size of your TV screen), and with it you can: desalinate water, distill water (and therefore liquor), drive a steam engine, cook food (with the beam alone), light fires (almost instantly), melt glass (and aluminum cans), and more.











During my researches I stumbled across this site: Green Power Science. He has tons of Youtube videos showing experiments with all sorts of renewable type technologies, most of which using fresnel lenses. But what he doesnt tell you is where he is getting them: big screen tv’s. You could say that I have a knack for technology, so when I got a good look at one he had listed in his Ebay store, I immediately recognized his source.







Its as simple as this: remove the frame assembly from the front of the tv, then remove the screen plexi from either the frame or the tv cabinet (whichever its mounted to), and then peel the gray corrugated outer (normally visible) layer away from the inner Fresnel Lens layer. This can be done to virtually any tv with the following tools: Large Flathead Screwdriver, Battery Operated Drill with Phillips and 1/4″ Nutdriver Bits. A couple rare tv’s required getting nasty with a hammer.



The larger the screen the more power it can handle, but there are some catches. There are 2 types of lens, and 2 grades of materials used to make them. The best lenses (especially for showing off) are “Spot”, with the second rate being “Line”. Spot’s project the entire beam into a round shape of an inch or 2. Line’s project a line shape that is about 4-6″, thus spreading out the power zone and weakening the observable results. Theoretically the same amount of power is present, although I haven’t personally had time to do any experiments with time trials of cooking or whatever.



Next we have grades. The best is Acrylic, and the low grade is made from Vinyl. Acrylic are stiff, crystal clear, and almost a 1/4″ thick. Vinyl are flimsy floppy, cloudy looking, and sometimes even less than 1/8″ thin. In the picture above the 16:9 screen in the middle is vinyl, but in the upper left corner you can see one made from acrylic.



A look around the GPS site and videos will give you enough ideas about building a frame and stand for it. He has interests in selling them now to the backyard scientist, I have interest in stockpiling them in my quest to become a Mad Max Millionaire. It’s my guess and some illuminated like minded others who have used these first hand that in the Barter Economy these things will be worth their weight in silver, or even gold. I have over 75 stockpiled.



In future writings I go more into how best to acquire them for free, which screens are the absolute best, and other uses of the by-products from this technique of the industrialization of utilizing societies ills to become a long living warrior of the wasteland…
