The Resolution of the Reality Hologram
You
might think your fifty
inch 1080p screen has a pretty high resolution, but reality is a
quadrillion times better - a hundred trillion dots per inch.
From
Star Wars to Dead Space, holograms are a staple of the science-fiction
genre, but it could become science-fact in the next five years
according to experts.
The
idea that we live in a hologram probably sounds absurd, but it is a
natural extension of our best understanding of black holes, and
something with a pretty firm theoretical footing. It has also been
surprisingly helpful for physicists wrestling with theories of how the
universe works at its most fundamental level.
The essential
fuzziness of time may be the limiting factor for a gravitational-wave
detector in Germany: Craig Hogan,
director of the Center for Particle Astrophysics at the Fermi
National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, Illinois says,
"It's actually a
possibility that we can access experimentally the minimum interval of
time, which we thought was out of reach."

Scholars suggest Human DNA shows signs of
being an Invasive Extraterrestrial Parasite
Many
scientists have documented that over 95% of Human DNA does not have a
known purpose. This DNA has been colloquially referred to as "Junk
DNA". However, other researchers have not been content to simply
classify this predominant part of DNA as "one of life's mysteries".
Scholarly groups at the forefront of investigative researchers are
gathering details which suggest that DNA may not substantively exist as
a "building block of life". Rather, it appears that the substantive
function of DNA is to act as a "parasitic inhibitor" and "regulator" of
life on planet Earth.
Humans may have originated
billions of years ago in waves of consciousness
On
the surface, "Creationism" and "Evolutionism" appear to be polar
opposites. However, closer critical enquiry illuminates Gary Zeitlin's
insight on a dialectic of manipulation against the human psyche.
The idea
that humans evolved from "primitive" primate species without
technological capabilities into successive mutations that are yielded a
more "advanced" and "technologically capable" species, appears to have
been a world view orchestrated by Pagan Gnostic-identified regressive
aliens.

Free
John Walker Lindh: Bush's and Cheney's First Torture Victim
It’s
time to free John Walker Lindh, poster boy for George Bush’s, Dick
Cheney’s and John Ashcroft’s “War on Terror,” and quite likely first
victim of these men’s secret campaign of torture. Lindh is in the
seventh year of a 20-year sentence for “carrying a weapon” in
Afghanistan and for “providing assistance” to an enemy of the United
States. The first charge is ridiculously minor. The second is actually
a violation of a law intended for use against US companies that trade
with proscribed countries on a government “no trade” list like Cuba or
North Korea. Ordinarily, violation results in a fine for the executives
involved.

European
Open Internet Under Imminent Threat
The
internet as we know it is at risk because of proposed new EU rules
going through end of April. Under the proposed new rules, broadband
providers will be legally able to limit the number of websites you can
look at, and to tell you whether or not you are allowed to use
particular services. It will be dressed up as 'new consumer options'
which people can choose from. People will be offered TV-like packages -
with a limited number of options for you to access.

Bee burglers plunder hives to sell on
growing black market
Thieves
are braving stings and swarms to steal vast numbers of honey bees from
beekeepers in Britain, and may be selling them on an apian black
market. Break-ins at bee farms around the country have resulted in the
theft of entire hives, leading bee farmers to suspect that the thieves
must have good knowledge of bees and how to sell them on in large
numbers.

IMPACT: Tons of released drugs taint US water
U.S.
manufacturers, including major drugmakers, have legally released at
least 271 million pounds of pharmaceuticals into waterways that often
provide drinking water — contamination the federal government has
consistently overlooked, according to an Associated Press
investigation. Hundreds of active pharmaceutical ingredients are used
in a variety of manufacturing, including drugmaking: For example,
lithium is used to make ceramics and treat bipolar disorder;
nitroglycerin is a heart drug and also used in explosives; copper shows
up in everything from pipes to contraceptives.

Federal Authority Over the Internet? The
Cybersecurity Act of 2009
There's
a new bill working its way through Congress that is cause for some
alarm: the Cybersecurity Act of 2009 (PDF summary here), introduced by
Senators Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) and Olympia Snowe (R-ME). The bill as
it exists now risks giving the federal government unprecedented power
over the Internet without necessarily improving security in the ways
that matter most. It should be opposed or radically amended.
Should
Obama Control the Internet?
The
bill does not only add to the power of the president. It also grants
the Secretary of Commerce "access to all relevant data concerning
[critical] networks without regard to any provision of law, regulation,
rule, or policy restricting such access." This means he or she can
monitor or access any data on private or public networks without regard
to privacy laws.

Antarctica’s
“Blood Falls” Shows How Aliens Might Live on Ice Worlds
Blood
Falls, a rusty red discoloration on the face of the Taylor Glacier in
Antarctica occasionally gushes forth a transparent, briny, iron-rich
liquid that quickly oxidizes and turns red, staining the ice below The
source of that water is an intensely salty lake trapped beneath 1,300
feet of ice, and a new study has now found that microbes have carved
out a niche for themselves in that inhospitable environment, living on
sulfur and iron compounds. The bacteria colony has been isolated there
for about 1.5 million years, researchers say, ever since the glacier
rolled over the lake and created a cold, dark, oxygen-poor ecosystem.

Experts
Says Are Robots Mirroring Human Evolution (at Warp Speed)
According
to Hans Moravec, pioneer in mobile robot research and founder of

Does gravity change with the seasons?
One
question Newton didn't ask is whether apples or oranges fall
differently. Or whether an apple would fall differently in the spring.
They might seem peculiar concerns, but Alan Kostelecký, a physicist

He and his graduate student Jay Tasson have found that such flagrant
violations of our best theory of gravity could easily have evaded
detection for centuries.

Chinese drywall poses potential risks
At
the height of the U.S. housing boom, when building materials were in
short supply, American construction companies used millions of pounds

Global Warming: Two sides of mass-deception
Have
you noticed on the both sides of the Global Warming debate, there are
two groups of very wealthy elites? We can perhaps readily appreciate
the "no" side's motivation. This group is tied to large Petroleum and
other interests. But the "yes, there is Global Warming side", that
suggest that our planet Earth is on an unabated trend to heating up, is
also tied to wealthy interests. Follow the money, and the trail seems
to lead to an apparent interlocking clique with common ties to a
reputed "Globalist Hegemony".

Dirty Oil: Tar Sands truth hidden from
Canadians
Located
beneath 4.3 million hectares of boreal forest, an area the size
of Florida, the tar sands are the dirtiest source of oil in the world.
Few Canadians know what is happening in northern Alberta. While many
may know about Alberta’s immense oil reserves in the tar sands (2nd
only to Saudi Arabia) few know the environmental and social devastation
that is taking place. The tar sands could destroy over 149,000 square
kilometres or Boreal forest an area the size of Florida.
The
Most Destructive Industrial Venture on Earth:
The
Canadian Oil Sands Pose Great Danger
Common
belief is that the Middle East is America's largest supplier of oil. In
truth, Canada supplies more oil to the US than any other country,
providing 19% of US foreign oil. About half of that oil comes from the
single largest industrial project on Earth--the Canadian Oil Sands in
Alberta, Canada. The Oil Sands, comprised of the Athabasca, Peace River
and Cold Lake sites, contains approximately 170 billion barrels of oil
in proven reserves. This makes Canada the world's second largest source
of oil, after Saudi Arabia.

a 6-3 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled against Wyeth in the
Diana Levine case, setting a crucial precedent in the battle against
Big Pharma. The ruling ends an important part of the Big Pharma / FDA
conspiracy racket that sought to market extremely dangerous (and even
deadly) drugs while providing full legal immunity to drug companies,
even when those companies actively lied about the safety of their drugs
by hiding negative drug studies from the public and the FDA.

3-D
TV scheme seeks to replace regular TVs
As
TV makers ready 3-D models, a company called Dynamic Digital Depth
claims its automatic 2-D-to-3-D conversion algorithms could help
replace conventional TVs. Parent company DDD Group plc (Santa Monica,
Calif.) argues that several dozen 3-D movie titles are not enough to
persuade wary consumers to buy a dedicated 3-D display. By including
automatic 2-D-to-3-D conversion for regular TV, PC games and even the
user's own images, the company says 3-D TVs may be poised to eventually
displace regular TVs altogether.

Vaccines
as Biological Weapons?
Live Avian
Flu Virus Placed in Baxter Vaccine Materials Sent to 18 Countries
Deerfield,
Illinois-based pharmaceutical company Baxter International Inc. has
just been caught shipping live avian flu viruses mixed with vaccine
material to medical distributors in 18 countries. The "mistake" (if you
can call it that, see below...) was discovered by the National
Microbiology Laboratory in Canada. The World Health Organization was
alerted and panic spread throughout the vaccine community as health
experts asked the obvious question: How could this have happened?
The
1918 Influenza Pandemic, Vaccines and Flu Shots
(NaturalNews)
Following the breaking news today that Baxter International, Inc. (a
U.S. drug company) shipped live avian influenza in vaccine materials
distributed to 18 countries, it's worth reviewing a bit of history
about the 1918 influenza pandemic.

Study:
1 in 31 U.S. adults in prison system
NEW
YORK - The number of offenders on parole and probation across the
United States has surged past 5 million, complicating the challenges
for fiscally ailing states as they try to curb corrections costs
without jeopardizing public safety, according to a new report. The Pew
Center on the States report, released Monday, says the number of people
on probation or parole nearly doubled to more than 5 million between
1982 and 2007. Including jail and prison inmates, the total population
of the U.S. corrections system now exceeds 7.3 million — one of every
31 U.S. adults, it said.

Browns face conspiracy, arms counts
Sixteen
months after their armed standoff with federal officials ended in a
peaceful, undercover arrest, Ed and Elaine Brown were back in New
Hampshire yesterday to face weapons and conspiracy charges for their
activities. If found guilty, the couple could receive what amount to
life sentences. Just one charge, for possession of destructive devices,
carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 30 years in prison. The Browns,
who were convicted of tax-related felonies in January 2007, fled
authorities and holed up in their fortified and well-provisioned
Plainfield home for nearly nine months.

Sydney - The volunteer army that toiled to save those left alive of a
pod of 192 pilot whales that came ashore on Tasmania's King Island were
elated Tuesday after an aerial search showed that all but one had
stayed in deeper water. And there is still a chance of the sole
survivor on the beach being refloated to join the 54 pilot whales
already returned to the sea. |
Radio
chip coming soon to your driver's license?
Privacy
advocates are issuing warnings about a new radio chip plan that
ultimately could provide electronic identification for every adult in
the U.S. and allow agents to compile attendance lists at
anti-government rallies simply by walking through the assembly. The
proposal, which has earned the support of Janet Napolitano, the newly
chosen chief of the Department of Homeland Security, would embed radio
chips in driver's licenses, or "enhanced driver's licenses."

Report:
Diebold Voting System Has 'Delete' Button for Erasing Audit Logs
After
three months of investigation, California's secretary of state has
released a report examining why a voting system made by Premier
Election Solutions (formerly known as Diebold) lost about 200 ballots
in Humboldt County during November's presidential election. But the
most startling information in the state's 13-page report is
not
why the system lost votes, but that some versions of Diebold's vote
tabulation system, known as the Global Election Management System
(Gems), include a button that allows someone to delete audit logs from
the system.

Beatles Unknown "A Hard Day's Night" Chord
Mystery Solved
It’s
the most famous chord in rock 'n' roll, an instantly recognizable twang
rolling through the open strings on George Harrison’s 12-string

Antidepressants
May Thwart Quest for True Love
Antidepressant
drugs, already known to cause sexual side effects, may also suppress
the basic human emotions of love and romance. That SSRIs, or selective
serotonin reuptake inhibitors — the most common type of antidepressant
— cause sexual dysfunction is common knowledge. Of the 31 million
adults in the United States who take the SSRIs, about 30 percent are
believed to experience sexual dysfunction.

Tools From 13,000 Years Ago Found in a Suburban Backyard
The
tools found in Colorado resident Patrick Mahaffy’s backyard weren’t the
typical collection of weed whackers and shovels. Instead Mahaffy’s yard
hosted a collection of chipped stone knives and axes that date from the
time of the Clovis people, who are believed to have been among the
first inhabitants of America around 13,000 years ago.

Most Americans have never heard of Sibel Edmonds, and if the U.S.
government has its way, they never will. The former FBI translator
turned whistleblower tells a chilling story of corruption at
Washington’s highest levels—sale of nuclear secrets, shielding of
terrorist suspects, illegal arms transfers, narcotics trafficking,
money laundering, espionage. She may be a first-rate fabulist, but
Edmonds’s account is full of dates, places, and names. Her
charges could be easily confirmed or dismissed if classified government
documents were made available to investigators. |
To
Protect Against Colds and the Flu, Take Regular Doses of Sunshine
People
fighting off winter colds and bouts of the flu typically reach for a
glass vitamin C-packed orange juice, but new research suggests that
vitamin D may be a better protector. People with low levels of the
vitamin, which is often called the sunshine vitamin because sun
exposure triggers its production in the body, are more likely to catch
colds, the flu, and even pneumonia, a broad new study reports.

Child
abuse leaves lasting 'scars' on DNA
Suicide
victims with a history of abuse during childhood are more likely to
carry chemical changes to their DNA that could affect how they respond
to stress as adults, a study has found.
Those with no history of childhood abuse did not show the same pattern
of DNA modification, and had normal expression of NR3C1, a gene linked
to stress responses.

"Although
sleep's relationship with the immune system is well-documented, this is

Still
Standing: The Building That Proves WTC 7 Was Imploded ?
New
videos of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel fire in Beijing highlight the
vivid contrast between the damage it suffered as it was completely
consumed by roaring flames, yet remained standing, and the comparative
sporadic fires across just 8 floors that led to the complete free fall
collapse of WTC 7. 9/11 truth debunkers are in a bind as to how to
respond to the Beijing skyscraper fire because of the building’s
similarity in size to Building 7 and the gargantuan fire damage it
suffered in comparison with the limited “office fires” witnessed in WTC

Google is watching
'THERE
was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any
given moment . . . It was even conceivable that they watched everybody
all the time." That quote from George Orwell's "1984" becomes
increasingly prescient in light of developments in eavesdropping,
pioneered by Google. Recently the company launched a service called
Latitude, which allows consenting users to monitor each other's
whereabouts. It's the company's latest snooping tool, the most
controversial being the Street Views photographic mapping service.
The
recently released desktop app Google Earth 5 contained a little
surprise for many Mac OS X users — it installed Google's automated
Update Engine without clearly asking. Worse, the
latest version of Google Earth won't work without the Update Engine
running in the background.

The New Book Banning
It’s
hard to believe, but true: under a law Congress passed last year aimed
at regulating hazards in children’s products, the federal government
has now advised that children’s books published before 1985 should not
be considered safe and may in many cases be unlawful to sell or
distribute. Merchants, thrift stores, and booksellers may be at risk if
they sell older volumes, or even give them away, without first
subjecting them to testing—at prohibitive expense.

Free Antibiotics -- in U.S. Food and Water
Routine
dosing of farm animals with cephalosporin antibiotics to prevent
disease and promote growth would be prohibited effective Oct. 1,
2008.But on Nov. 25, after getting a trough full from agribusiness and
big
pharma -- 70 percent of whose antibiotics sales are agricultural -- the
FDA quietly revoked the ban to "more fully consider the many
substantive comments it received" about the prohibition.
The
Associated Press (AP) estimates that hospitals and long-term medical
care institutions across the United States are dumping 250 million
pounds of pharmacologically active drugs directly into public sewer
systems each year. Because the government does not require health
institutions to keep records on their disposal of pharmaceutical
products, there are no definitive numbers on the volume of drugs going
into the water supply. In order to construct an estimate, AP
investigators extrapolated from a survey of 14 urban and rural
Minnesota hospitals.

Only four
percent of the

But now astronomers at the University of St Andrews are attempting to
“simplify the dark side of the universe”. They say the two most
mysterious constituents in the universe are actually the same thing.

Observations
made by NASA instruments onboard an Air Force satellite
have shown that the boundary between the Earth's upper atmosphere and

it completes rotations once every 27 days, NASA and University of
Colorado, Boulder, scientists said Monday at the American Geophysical
Union annual meeting.
Cracks in Earth’s Magnetic Field Let in a
Huge Gust of Solar Wind
Dec.
16, 2008: NASA's five THEMIS spacecraft have discovered
a breach in Earth's magnetic field ten times larger than anything
previously thought to exist. Solar wind can flow in through the opening
to "load up" the magnetosphere for powerful geomagnetic storms. But the
breach itself is not the biggest surprise. Researchers are even more
amazed at the strange and unexpected way it forms, overturning
long-held ideas of space physics.
