Forbidden Science, Vol. 2.

I’m reading Jacque Vallee’s Forbidden Science, Vol. 2 (1970-1979) which is his personal journal entries from that explosive rise in UFO sightings.

This book follows Jacques’ best selling Forbidden Science, Vol. 1 which documented his research during the years 1957-1969. The books chronicle Jacques’ activities as an astronomer, computer programmer and UFO researcher. Before David Icke was exposing his information about tall, blood-drinking reptilian humanoids from the star system Alpha Draconis (see below) and the numerous tales of human beings abducted as sex slaves for anal prodding E.T.s, scientists like Jacques Vallee were doing legitimate and thorough research on the worldwide UFO phenomena.

So You Think You Can Strip?

 

Every Wednesday, Krave Nightclub gets the hottest guys (or, whoever is drunk enough) to come on-stage and show off their stripping skills for a chance to win cash prizes and move on to win up to $1,000. Doors open at 11 p.m. Free for locals, $10 for tourists.

Drag Queen of Magic. “Magic’s a Drag” with Cashetta opened last month at the Harmon Theater and held a special VIP/Media night on March 11. As an added enticement, which no one really needed, we were given all-you-can-drink wristbands!  Cashetta (a.k.a. Scott Weston) takes magic to another level and she doesn’t need a tiger!

With Las Vegas magicians vying for a distinctive signature to make a statement, Cashetta literally walks off the runway with the pageant crown.

Cashetta is the only female impersonator magician in the world, and we needed one. Her act includes cards that disappear and reappear and a gypsy rope illusion that amazes. Lance Burton would never do these tricks – but he should! Cashetta engages her audience and has willing members dress in drag and perform illusions. Cashetta’s outrageous charm is her very only trick.

 

“Magic’s a Drag" opened Feb. 21 and the show is at 7 p.m. at the Harmon Theater. While the show is delicious fast paced fun, the sound was so loud my eyes bled.

We Were Not Told!

 

I’m angry that no one bothered to let us know IN ADVANCE that an asteroid of a similar size to a rock that exploded above Siberia in 1908 with the force of a thousand atomic bombs whizzed close past Earth two weeks ago.

 

2009 DD45, estimated to be between 68 and 152 feet across, raced by last Monday, the Planetary Society and astronomers' blogs reported. The gap was just 44,750 miles, or a fifth of the distance between Earth and the Moon and only twice the height of satellites in geosynchronous orbit, the website space.com said.

 

The estimated size is similar to that of an asteroid or comet that exploded above Tunguska, Siberia, on June 30, 1908, flattening 80 million trees in a swathe of more than 800 square miles. 2009 DD45 was spotted by astronomers at the Siding Spring Survey in Australia, and was verified by the International Astronomical Union's Minor Planet Centre (MPC), which catalogues Solar System rocks.

 

The closest flyby listed by the MPC is 2004 FU162, a small asteroid about 20 feet across which came within about 4,000 miles of us in March 31, 2004. As of 2008^[update] this was the third or fourth closest approach to Earth. The discovery was not announced until August 22, 2004.

Scientists at the Siding Spring Observatory spotted 2009 DD45 and began tracking it in late February when it was about 1 million miles away. At its closest point the asteroid passed over the Pacific Ocean near Tahiti.

Last year, the asteroid 2008 TC3 harmlessly burned up in Earth's atmosphere over Africa 19 hours after it was discovered. Astronomers gave a six-hour notice warning of that fiery plunge.

On Friday the 13th in April 2029, a 1,000-foot-wide asteroid named Apophis will pass within 20,000 miles of Earth beating 2009 DD45’s record by a little less than half!

BBC Knowledge Magazine.

I love this magazine! Here are some tidbits from the Mar/Apr issue. There is a 22 page evolution special on Charles Darwin with an interview with anti-God firebrand Richard Dawkins.

Carbon dioxide, a sign of life, has been discovered for the first time in the atmosphere around a faraway planet. The planet where the CO₂ was found is named HD189733b. It’s in another solar system and is 64 light years away – it would take us over two million years to get there in a space shuttle.

Is Evolution Dead? Commemorating Darwin’s 200^th birthday, BBC Knowledge opines: Is Evolution Dead? Case in point: Moulay Ismael of Morocco admitted to 888 children. As a result, around 100 of his male fellow citizens must have had no wives, so no children at all. Evolution on the Darwin model, Survival of the Fittest and Natural Selection, is over. One common argument for the end of human evolution is that we’ve loosened the constraints of natural selection with our technology and social support systems.

Also there is a 2 page feature called “What Darwin Didn’t Know”. Obviously, Darwin missed just a few items.

BBC Knowledge has a story on Catastrophism, the devastating effect on life caused by events such as meteor impacts, great floods and asteroids.

The World’s Population to 9.1 Billion!

The world’s population is expected to rise from the current 6.5 billion to 9.1 billion by 2050, the UN says. Virtually all the growth will be in the developing world. By contrast, the population of developed countries will remain almost static at 1.2 billion. The report says India will overtake China as the world's most populous country by 2030 - five years earlier than previously expected. In 2002, the UN Population Division had estimated a population in 2050 of 8.9 billion. The new report predicts that the population in the world's 50 poorest countries will more than double by 2050. It says that nations such as Afghanistan, Chad and East Timor will see their numbers going up three-fold.

In other news, a vaccine against the parasitic disease malaria cut illnesses by more than half in field trials and could be safely given with other childhood inoculations, two studies have reported. The vaccine, which will begin a third and final phase of clinical trials early next year, could become the first to protect children from malaria, which kills nearly 1 million people worldwide every year.

If the phase three trials are successful, it would be “an extraordinary scientific triumph and it could save millions of children’s lives. Malaria kills nearly 1 million people each year and sickens about 2 million others, according to estimates from the World Health Organization. Most of the deaths are among children younger than 5 in sub-Saharan Africa, the population that the vaccine targets.

Will Your Brain Surgery Be A Sham?

 

Scientific American Mind magazine (Feb./Mar.) had a fascinating article called “Mind Over Matter: Healing Power of Placebos”. I once had a flu vanish while waiting in a doctor’s office. Some people, say the article, see the doctor’s white coat and get better!

 

I didn’t know anything about “sham surgery” so I did some research. As more Parkinson's treatments involving surgery, there has been an increased use of sham surgery in clinical trial designs.

As a placebo control, sham surgery is being hailed as an outstanding success. I just don’t understand why anyone would agree to have all the tests and preparation for brain surgery (and having burr holes drilled into their heads!) and then risk the chance of not having the authentic implant surgery. I saw the scar photos online and it’s not pretty.

 

Patients "go through the motions" of having real surgery, but the brain's dura is not penetrated. This means there will be some patients that will undergo anesthesia, have IV solutions, have burr holes drilled into their heads, and be surgically prepped, but do not receive the treatment under trial. Supposedly, no one other than the neurosurgeon knows who receives the sham surgery.

 

The patients in all the studies know they stand a chance of not being treated. But keeping patients in the dark can pose problems beyond performing fake operations. The patients getting the pig cells receive anti-rejection drugs and antibiotics, standard fare for transplant patients. The placebo patients get dummy anti-rejection pills. But making fake antibiotics that look, taste and smell like the real thing is impossible so the sham surgery patients get real antibiotics.

 

However, people who have had real brain surgery experience severe swelling often for 10 days afterwards. This swelling is an indication of invasion into the brain. One woman, who was in a trial, said that her Principal Investigator and the Trial Coordinator were not allowed to visit her until after her first post-surgery trial evaluation. This was probably due to the fact that the facial swelling would have clearly indicated that the brain had been invaded and hence the real surgery had taken place, not the sham surgery.

This means the bedside caregivers, and in this case POSSIBLY the research nurse, would recognize the after-effect of actual penetration of the brain's dura (in sham surgery, they drill the hole, but don't penetrate the dura). So there is a big chance someone might leak those receiving the real therapy, even unknowingly. Therefore, this is even more reason to add to taking a long look at the validity of using sham surgery. If the after-effect of actual penetration of the brain's dura (in sham surgery, they drill the hole, but don't penetrate the dura) is different from the after-effect of sham brain surgery, then how can researchers claim the study is blind?

David Icke.

I attended a lecture by David Icke and all I can say is, he had the SRO audience in a frenzy. According to David Icke, 7-foot (2.1 m) tall, blood-drinking reptilian humanoids from the star system Alpha Draconis are the force behind a worldwide conspiracy directed at humanity. The Draconans are the oldest reptilian race in our Universe. The reptilians maintain their control through the generation of fear and negative emotion, which is food to these entities, by manufacturing conflicts, primarily wars. Icke contends that most of the world's leaders are in fact related to these reptilians. Icke's theories now have supporters in 47 countries and he frequently gives lectures to crowds of 2500 or more.

According to an interview with David Icke, Christine Fitzgerald claims that she was a confidante of Diana, Princess of Wales, and that Diana told her that the British Royal Family were reptilian aliens, and that they could shapeshift. Icke also claims that many presidents of the United States have been and are reptilian humanoids. In his view, United States foreign policy after September 11 is the product of a reptilian conspiracy to enslave humanity completely in a "New World Order," with George W. Bush and other political figures being the conduits used for the unfolding of this Reptilian conspiracy.

 

Alpha Draconans have colonized many star systems and have created many races by genetically altering the life forms that they encountered. The most densely populated area of sub-races of Draconans is the constellation of Orion, Rigel, and the star system known as Capella. Here lies a very dangerous part of the Universe for human beings.

 

So now you know.
