DARPA “TERMINATOR” ROBOTS, SPACE PROBES, AND MORE SPECULATION

Well if you’ve been following my blogs and thoughts the past few weeks, you’ll have observed I’ve been connecting some apparently disconnected dots: space, advanced technologies, 3-d printing, and, yesterday, crowd financing and a bit of geopolitics, with just a hint of something “cosmo-political” lurking off stage. With that context in mind, Mr. S.D. and [...]

3-D PRINTERS, & CROWD FINANCING

When former Assistant Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Catherine Austin Fitts was here for a visit, she, my co-author Dr Scott de Hart, and I had, as I’ve mentioned before, a wide-ranging discussion of about ten hours ranging on a whole host of current events, financial shifts, and geopolitics. Among Secretary Fitts’ concerns was [...]

GEOENGINEERING AND THE AMERICAN MILITARY-INDUSTRIAL-INTELLIGENCE-FINANCE COMPLEX

If you thought the idea of geoengineering in conjunction with social engineering was fanciful, there’s this bit of news from New Scientist (courtesy of a regular reader here, Ms. P.H.).

CONSCIOUSNESS, TIME, AND THE OBSERVER

There’s a school of thought out there, begun largely by Oxford mathematician Roger Penrose (see Penrose’s stimulating book The Emperor’s New Mind), that self-consciousness arises from quantum mechanical processes in the human brain: An intriguing consciousness theory, but skeptics want evidence I find it intriguing because I’ve long suspected, and have advanced the idea in [...]

JUST WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON WITH MARS, ANYWAY?

There’s been some very intriguing developments about Mars going on, quietly of course, and interestingly enough, going on while all the theater about Snowden and the NSA have been transpiring. Consider this article for a moment (sent to me courtesy of Mr. S.D.): NASA is getting ready to search for signs of life on Mars [...]

RUSSIAN DEFENSE MINISTRY NEEDS SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS

In last week’s News and Views from the Nefarium I pointed out that Russia is calling for a massive influx of software developers. Here is the article from RT that I was referring to, and I am pointing it out here because it contains some very interesting comments, which, in context, prompt some rather intriguing [...]
