*Equip your vehicle with a Smoke Screen, Armor.

Have a dense smoke fog eject from your vehicles exhaust pipe, without damaging your engine. I saw this in a show called “Ultimate Bulletproof Car”. It’s quite simple and cheap by my estimation.

The concept is simple: add a 2nd sort of windshield washer fluid tank under your hood, fill it with everyday radiator ‘antifreeze’, and hook it the exhaust manifold with copper piping. In-line you’ll need either an electronic valve, or perhaps a pump, but I’m not sure; 12 volt either way. The kit this site sells only uses a valve to release, but their pricey can of smoke solution is aerosol, so a pump might be the more likely part needed in an antifreeze setup. For you big screen TV pillaging survivalists: ‘antifreeze’ primarily consists of ethylene glycol, the same nasty fluid found inside the 3 projector lenses, in high grade form, which happens to be the largest problem in waste disposal from scrapping out rear projection TV’s. BTW: projector lens coolant costs about 10 times as much as vehicle radiator fluid.

To hook into the exhaust manifold I recommend using a brass flare fitting, and you’ll need a matching “Tap and Die” bit to create the threads. I haven’t yet done any this, so it’s possible the manifold walls are too thin to tap proper threads into. In this case a ‘bulkhead’ method might be required which could suck, requiring removal of the manifold. I’m also unsure of whether or not a sprayer nozzle is required inside the manifold chamber, but if so a salvaged fuel injector sprayer would likely be ideal.

Without major complication, I can see this project being completed in a Sunday afternoon for less than a hundred dollars. I also see where people experienced in this practice could make some decent side cash by outfitting others vehicles after showing off with this ‘James Bond’ tech. I imagine there might be several sites containing more detailed info on the process, but the one I linked above is the best one I found in about 5 minutes of searching.

========

Vehicle Armor: I’ve seen some episodes from the new show “Weaponizers”. In one episode they do armor tests using plate steel. I can’t remember if it was 1/4″ or 1/2″ plating, but the results weren’t too impressive using 30 cal. rounds, especially not for the weight added to the vehicle. But this reminded me of a show I watched many years ago on ‘Armored Cars’, the type used for cash transportation between banks and so on.They don’t use steel. Instead they use several layers of thin aluminum, and achieve better results using less weight. The bullet resistance is dramatically higher than if they were t use a solid thick aluminum layer of the same thickness.

A key form of bulletproof glass also uses layering (of actual glass), but higher grade bulletproof glass is one thick layer of polycarbonate. So with these lessons I figure that stacking thin layers of steel, aluminum and polycarbonate might get the best weight vs. bullet resistance, especially if tough adhesives (2 part adhesives and paints are always the best) are used to stack the layers together. Without proper adhesives, the metals might work better by using all idenitcal materials, and ‘weld-riveting’  them together, as welds are typically stronger than than the materials themselves. The main point is the more layers the better, which gives true samurai swords their ‘edge’ over other swords of the same thickness.

*Don’t Ignore The Blue Sky.

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.

*CAPTCHA as an AGI enabler.

In the past I’ve tried explaining ways that we in effect make Google God smarter by using its services, or even just by browsing the web. It turns out that by solving “CAPTCHAS” we’re now also helping advance AI fields such as Machine Vision.

CAPTCHA stands for Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart.

What I’m arguing here is that it goes beyond the reality of hackers / spammers from developing AI to beat the CAPTCHAS, and then CAPTCHA developing better AI in response. First it must be noted the developers interest in their technology advancing their AI goals. Take the following Carnegie CAPTCHA document for example, and be sure to also note how they like their kind call not having AI a “problem”:

We introduce captcha, an automated test that humans can pass, but current computer programs can’t pass: any program that has high success over a captcha can be used to solve an unsolved Articial Intelligence (AI) problem.

Much like research in cryptography has had a positive impact on algorithms for factoring and discrete log, we hope that the use of hard AI problems for security purposes allows us
to advance the field of Artificial Intelligence.

In this paper we will present constructions of captchas based on certain AI problems and we will show that solving the captchas implies solving the AI problems.

Now their latest version of it seeks to take it beyond the spam war and in effect declare war on you.

THINK+UP:

The computer scientists at Carnegie-Mellon and IBM who came up with the idea of Captchas and have promoted their public use noted in a widely-read 2000 research paper that “either the Captcha is not broken and there is a way to differentiate humans from computers, or the Captcha is broken and a useful AI problem is solved.” In any case, progress will be made.

Yet another Carnegie-Mellon approach turns the solution of Captchas into a good deed. With some 200 million Captchas being solved by humans every day, and each one requiring maybe 10 seconds of time, researchers thought why not get some useful work done, too? Their answer was to make Captchas based on snippets of optically scanned text from old books and newspapers that legitimate computers have been unable to correctly recognize. But how does the computer know if someone has interpreted the old text properly? Each reCaptcha presents a challenging sample of old text next to a standard Captcha image for which the answer is already known. It’s assumed that anyone who solves the latter will also have entered a correct answer for the former. The two main sources of old texts are those in the Internet Archive (www.archive.org), a vast collection of freely-accessible digitized media, and scanned editions of the New York Times.

Other players are also developing their own, like Microsoft and Google. As its Google’s bread and butter to have you teach their systems for them, you can bet that people will be helping them solve their problems via their “Socially Adjusted CAPTCHAs“.

These sorts of things really irritate me. In my vision, the day is approaching that the only solution to remain human in a Transhumanist dominated world would be to resort to “Neo-Amish” communities. The idea is to build permaculture type cities but where we can still enjoy things like the Internet and so on, unlike actual the Amish. But by ‘them’ designing the Web where we can’t use it without helping them advance their march is like an act of war against humanity, in my view.

*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:

*Nearly Zero-Impact Garden Watering.

A few ways to beat water issues. Lets get right to it:

Rainwater Capture:

I’ve been wanting to do this post for a couple weeks but held off until I had this part of my water project set up. The best thing I’ve come up with is using 275 gallon liquid “Totes”, but 55 gallon drums work too. Totes are the size up answer to drums. They have cool cages wrapped around them with undersides designed for forklifting, with a large 8″ screw off lids in the center of the top, with a 2″ ball valve drain spigot on the bottom front side.

Gravity is key for water pressure. To water my loading dock garden I needed to elevate it considerably, so I went with pallets. Note the base & top platforms are plywood with 2″x6″ planks running longways. The way the pallets happened to stack non-flush worked out well on the slope in leveling the top platform out.

I don’t have the piping for it setup yet, but a friend does and he confirmed the ball tapper threads are standard 2″ PVC threads. We managed to get 5 of them for a combined $300 off of Craigslist. I always recommend buying things in bulk, and trying to pool money with others to get the best deals possible.

Next you just need less than $10 in gutter downspout fittings and tubing, and then I’m confident you can figure out the rest from there.

You can also place other open topped containers, such as old aquariums, underneath areas where the water pours over or leaks out of the roof / gutters.

Sink Water Capture:

This is probably most practical if you do a considerable amount of your sink work out of a laundry size sink. During the first several weeks of starting my seedlings I was able to water almost exclusively using captured sink water, mainly from washing my hands or rinsing off dishes etc.

You basically just need a suitable rubbermade style bins that fill about half of the bottom of the sink just right, and large plastic containers on wheels. Seal any holes with liquid nails for durability, let it dry, and then go over that with silicone for water protection.

A few designs:

Roll around toolbox thing with lid and insides removed.

Sturdy storage box on top of "4 Wheel Dolly".

More flexible storage bin, in/on base part of a cabinet from a scrapped out 60" Phillips rear projection TV. It has castor wheels underneath it.

You can also place these under roof-water pour-over spots if convenient.

Hose Fittings:

I adhere to a spend a few dollars extra to save lots of time ethic, although I do prefer to build anything I can myself. If you’re running different hoses for different things then I advise shopping around to find a good deal on quick disconnect fittings. Also cutoff valves wherever you would disconnect to prevent the water rushing out every time you switch lines. Be sure to use hose fitting gaskets and teflon tape everywhere you can.

Seedlings:

Don’t start seeds right in large pots or the ground. I wont explain why. You can use things like those “Jiffy Strip” trays, at $3+ per 50 plants, and keep the $1 trays after the paet pots are removed later. I did this at first and used graph/grid paper for a good way to catalog what was in what.

But I later decided that using small cups is better for a number of reasons. I bought a bag of 455 2″ cups at a Costco type store (BJ’s) for $8, and I can reuse them. They need something around their edges to keep them all from tipping. Be sure to use a solder iron to poke holes in the cups.

About 260, my last wave of plants for this years first season.

Mulch:

Use mulch. If you have a budget get cedar/eucalyptus. If no budget search around for tree guys. Even with mulch having value, most will gladly deliver free mulch.

*Using Google to fight Google.

For the past year or so I’ve been using the Google News “Gadget” in a Google homepage. I have queries such as: google “artificial intelligence”, and: “al qaeda” herion. So whenever these terms are together in the news thay pop up in IE automatically.

I normally argue that using Google makes it smarter, so don’t use it, but using the News Gadget instead merely puts workload on the system which doesn’t produce a tiny gain in the Google Machine’s general ‘intelligence’ as it would normally. At least not as far as I’m concerned. In fact, a simple search (the news autofeed) and click (when you click on any results) on this scale would ‘teach’ it 2 things: First, to weigh relvence to this term in the auto search fuinction where it pops up common search queries as you type in the box. And second, it would ensure that Google knows that the sort of thing you like to monitor.

I must add that where you go from there and what you do may also teach it a thing or 2. You see its total monitor’able web activity that ‘teaches’ Google. Sites with Google embedded to operate the sites search and/or ads functions help extend the machine’s view. So there is some loss, but its something you have to weigh. The machine is awesome, in that it still might gain even something from you using it.

But what about if you were to deliberately try to make it ‘dumber’?

Over a year ago I thought of the idea to build “simple” ‘dummy Google search bots’ that everyone would be able to run on their computers, when not using them or whatever, to collectively strain the system while making it dumber in the terms in which it normally learns.

It seemed that relatively ’simple’ software could be made for doing this, although the more advanced the dysfunctional words and logical jibberish the better. Now I’m no software engineer, but I think that a talented one (or group of) might be able to relatively easily build such a program tht uses small computational resources. I cant see how using “Artificial Unintelligence” to ’search’ the Google sphere would be illegal considering that Google’s AI searches through our lives wherever they can amass data from.

UPDATE:

I forgot to mention the most obviously inherent ways to use Google for your ambitions:

1. Wherever you can, link to pages and videos that you find important.

2. Search for terms that you’d like to also see.

These are 2 factors that influence the way Google’s search results are tabulated. The most important that I know of is the ‘popularity contest’ of number of pages linking to a page. The way people search, and then what they click on from the results also have influences.

I now think that the word combinations that you search for also influence the predictive ‘auto form fill’ results that appear while people are tying into the search box. Still no “Ignorance Is Futile”. So for example, the way it is the more times somebody has searched for say “Obama Deception” the more likely it might appear once you hit the “D”. So if you search for ‘counterculture’ terms you can make Google work for you, but everything else helps Google’s own efforts to work against you… while making it easier for you to search the web.

I think an AI bot to concently perform that last example would be very easy to make. Vastly easier than theidea to try to literally make it dumber, as that may require sophisticated and morphing linguistic models to trick it into believing its learning from your bogus queries. But here it’d simply be an updatable listing of desirable key phrases that suit your interests. So with such an applet, the more people using it the more we could lop-side things in our favor. Now that I think about it, I don’t know that others with poltical agendas have thought of the same, but now that I’ve published the idea, the Ruling Establishment might also try this meaning we might need to in order to keep Google God from further dumbing down the masses. Or by making the software they might just use it to do the same. Ain’t that a bitch.

*”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.

*Cheaper than dirt urban gardening.

In my situation I’m forced to mostly plant in containers, even on the roof. To me this is actually ideal, because if SHTF and I have to GTFO my garden is mobile, although it would require an entire box truck trip or more to move it all. Even where I have earth to plant in its dark sand. So the 2 main ingredients of my concern are free containers and (free) rich-soil.

Containers:

Get a hold of any landscapers you might know, or canvass any that you dont know seeking to recycle their used black plastic planter pots. Landscapers go through thousands of these per year and they often become a burden. You can also try using services such as Craigslist or the local classifieds to search for or request. A little bit of luck and you’ll have more than you can handle. Also, people are planting their annual rounds this time of year which means they have starter trays and smaller pots leftover.

Soil:

You need to track down some manure, compost. Anyone with lots of horses, cows etc has too much of this, and many if not most of them will gladly give you about as much as you can handle. I dont know about cow manure, but horse manure is scent free after no time. All it is is partially digested grass. Most suff out there thrives in this type of soil.

Once you get these key ingerdeients, along with seeds and you’re almost ready. Next you just need to solve the water issue…

*21st Century Protest Shields.

Old news: The military and police have silent high tech long range non-lethal crowd dispersal directed energy weapons. We’re on the verge of being shot with microwave beams on our skin, acoustical waves in our ears, and strobing laser stun rifles in our eyes for peacefully assembling in protest of the machine. And that’s when they already have water cannons, rubber bullets and other nasty’s. And they have shields. Its simply not fair…

The idea is rather simple, and you can build them at whatever dimensions for one person, or 6′x8′, or make them 4′x8′ with bottom girders to protect your legs.

I don’t have time to create imagery of the shield concept I’ve thought of, nor have I built such a device, but I’ll try to explain the overall concept where you can go from there.

The ideal ingredients are simple: “rigid” lexan greenhouse paneling, sheet lexan / polycarbonate (high grade ‘plexiglass’), and foil lined foam insulator board.

These components staked with the foam sandwiched inside should stop even rubber bullets, with the insulating foil blocking the microwave beams. The board comes in thicknesses less than half an inch, up to over 3″ thick. So bolt your layers together and bolt handles made from lumber to them. With 8′ long shields you might want to put two rails across longways for even force distribution. Cut little port windows in the inner foam layer to peek thru.

Then be sure to wear mirrored sunglasses, ear plugs, gloves and gas mask and then you’re ready to exorcise your 1st Amendment. You might also consider some ‘Mad Max’ sporting pad ‘armor’. It’s not a right anymore, especially not if you have to go through all that just to stand in a street, but its still an amendment.

Bonus: If you get enough plexiglass panels from big screen TV’s you can also stack those in similar fashion.

*Survival Berries.

In contemplating Survivalist / GTFO / Going Off the Grid scenarios, an expansive garden is key. And in terms of health, berries of various types provide some of the most nutritional content out there.

Vitamins, blah, etc, and even cancer fighting anti-oxidants. Some even have defensive purposes from property perimeter barricading to bird flu pandemics. So attempting to get as many different types of berries as possible is recommended, but below a few in my interest are highlighted. Be sure to keep some in pots in case you have to move or GTFO, and plant right away because basically all of them are perennials that you have to wait a great deal of time to actually get product from.

GOJI BERRY:

These little marvels come from the Himalayan Mountains. You could almost live off eating nothing but these. They contain 8 different antioxidants, 6 of which are world exclusive to this berry only. When they’re old enough they produce almost all year round, given the proper climate, and the berries can be dried for eating during the off months.

The dried weight of the berries is 12% protein, amongst other things:
11 essential and 22 trace dietary minerals.
18 amino acids.
6 essential vitamins.
8 polysaccharides and 6 monosaccharides.
5 unsaturated fatty acids, including the essential fatty acids, linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid.
beta-sitosterol and other phytosterols.
5 carotenoids, including beta-carotene and zeaxanthin (below), lutein, lycopene and cryptoxanthin, a xanthophyll.
numerous phenolic pigments (phenols) associated with antioxidant properties.

They’re drought, heat and frost tolerant perennials. Seeds here.

BLACKBERRY:

These are also good for you. But my interest in in their use is as defensive perimeter barriers. As shown above, these grow into nasty ‘brier patches’. Try to run through that. I dare you. So while the outside world is held back by nasty thorns, you’ll have plentiful fruit to eat and do other things with.

My advice is to determine the places you might GTFO to, and go right away and plant hundreds of seeds around the property line and even outwards.You can harvest the seeds from store bought berries, but its a pain to get them out. The best way is to mash them up, add some water, and leave them in the sun in a see-thru tupperware type container until the goopy fiber decomposes from the hard seeds.

ELDER BERRY:

As far as I’m aware, this is about the best thing you can grow / create yourself to have a line of defense against something like a Bird Flu Pandemic. There are some other (even everyday) herbs that could help, and I’ll cover later, but this is the big dog.

From what I’ve read, the extract ‘tincture’ form is the most effective. A recipe I read involved taking the dried berries, and basically soaking them in vodka for a week or 2. Then strain off the berries, and hope and pray that you never have to drink it in the event you think you’ve contracted a deadly flu.

Be sure to get the North American version seeds, not just because they’re native, but because they have the best climate zone survivability out of the ones I’ve read about.

ACAI BERRY:

Most berries, and many other things, contain cancer defense. But these berries provide cancer OFFENSE. Talk about barter value.

The only catch for most of us is that you either have to live in the true south of Florida, or you’ll need a greenhouse to grow them in. As far as palm trees go, they’re apparently prolific growers.

If it isn’t too cold where you live, I read one case where the greenhouse grower used blue plastic drums full of water to capture solar heat during the day to warm the trees with radiant heat at night. You can also employ small pot fires to help warm the air.

If you gather enough big screen tv’s you might end up with enough pieces of plexiglass to build a greenhouse for any tropical exotics on your list.

*Arcade Shooting Range

“Practice Makes Perfect” is literal science. With ammo scarcity, rising ammo costs, and shrinking budgets, now is not the time to not be able to perform shooting practice. Gun video games are the key.

Actual arcade machine gun games provide the best quality guns and at least one key game.One of the best gun games for our purposes, which was also only released in arcade machine form, is “Police Trainer”.  This training simulator has to win hands down in both accuracy and judgment. But it doesn’t give the same degree of exorcise as the more traditional ‘action’ type games.

The action type games are more sloppy for realistic training purposes, but they provide actual exorcise to compensate for lack of gun kick. And while it is possible to realistically expect to beat certain easier levels using both guns in Police Trainer, it’s far more practical with the other list of action games.

But the problem with actual arcade games is cost. It boils down to being worth some quarters to play some gun games when one is available, considering that the average round of ammunition costs roughly $.25, but to own these games is another story. Plus, all of these games are more expensive to play dual gun style for several reasons.

So the next best bet for the average person is to invest in older gun games for ‘platform’ TV systems. Running PC emulators is an option, but it requires special equipment and certain software know-how. This overall method is obviously best when you own an actual PS2 or PS3 for example. With backwards compatibility you can buy the gun games for the older systems to cheaply expand your ’shooting range’ ‘drills’. And dual gun capability only requires a one time down payment that is valid across probably most gun games out there.

I actually don’t normally advocate wasting away in mindless gaming escapism, and as a former gaming addict of many many years I’m poised to lash out all I want. But the idea here is that these games arent necessarily mindlessness. There are other game types that also provide some actual usefulness in NWO Survival, but they’re far more demanding in time commitments to gain their usefulness. With gun games you get actual shooting practice, and can keep it simple with roughly 20 minutes per day of ‘training’.

Other game styles of use would be “Real Time Strategy” and “First Person Shooters”, but these games devour precious time in comparison. Just learning how to actual use these game engines to their fullest to then be able to truly internalize the beneficial aspects of the time allocation is a major hurdle here. It’s really best to already have a former history with these genres to then move on into preparing for the Great Aggression in the real world. But I understand not everyone is going to be ready to give up video games just yet. So I hope to encourage people to at least put that energy and time into games that may also provide some real life benefits.

*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:

*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 made from 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 becoming 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, 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…

*How To: Become a “Mad Max Millionaire” for ‘a few dollars’.

This is a direction this blogsite will be taking from here on, especially during hiatus from filmaking. This entry isn’t the actual HowTo, but those pages are upcoming and long overdue. The direction my life has taken during this economic collapse and film hiatus has me now having too much needed to be said in similar vein to the technological totalitarianism that usually dominates my work.

It’s all about preparing for the “Barter Economy”, and in the past 5 months I’ve got it down pat. I’m actually living in a sort of “NWO Survival” training grounds. As the last man standing in my company, with the offices having been moved out of the high-tech-industry work-compound over a year ago, I’ve taken up lone residence with round the clock free run in such facilities. I’m surrounded by my work, and by my GTFO (get the fuck out) survival projects. So the lessons I have to offer aren’t merely ideas that I think sound cool, they’re first hand routines.

You see, when the October Panic came I was caught with my pants down, completely unpreapred for anything, yet I still chugged on in working on my film. When the December busy season at work never came, I was caught once again unprepared for anything, only this time countinuing on my film 24/7 was no longer an option whether I liked it or not.

Here at the WordPress site I’ve changed the “NWO Hacking” tag to “NWO Hacking & Survival“. I hope to get an Internet radio show with 2 different themed nights per week, one on my rather exclusive outlook on Technological Totalitarianism, and the other on NWO Survival. Since ‘work-work’ is still not not enough to make ends meet, preparedness has interwoven with immediate day to day prosperity, and I don’t have enough time to do all of my text-driven Internet soapboxing.

In preparing for the barter economy I’ve found short term opportunities as well, as you likely will on your own if you become a survivalist 27/7. In regards to becoming a Mad Max Millionaire, it’s all about stockpiling key items that would ‘be worht their weight in’ silver or gold or better in the total New Great Depression / Mad Max Scenario.  There are many widely recognized items of such value (such as ammo) which you cannot likely get ‘for a few dollars’, but I’ve developed a list of items and techniques with which you can accumulate ‘vast wealth’ for even as little as the time it takes to do it…

*The “Great Aggression”: Worse than a ‘Zombie Apocalypse’.

Back in December, I was trying to add a humor slant to the prospects of the “Great Aggression” scenario in different ways. The 2 biggest phrases I’d been saying to people during my banter was “Get your black football shoulder pads ready, we’re going Mad Max bitches”, and the other is “Buy food & ammunition, get ready for the zombie apocalypse”.

In the use of such there had remained a degree of seriousness in the Mad Max saying, whereas the zombie apocalypse (ZA) bit was deliberately meant to absurd. Later, in January, it finally occurred to me that the zombie bit wasn’t necessarily absurd, and that perhaps what appears to be coming is far scarier than the darkest fictional horror film rendition typical of the zombie genre.

In the horror films we typically find half-rotten and mostly brain-dead zombie creatures. They are uniformly monsters by definition according to fictional story standards. A typical trait of a zombie is that they’re “undead”, or at least neurologically ‘rotten’ from a vicious brain attacking virus, which pushes the monster status.

Like others horrors, such as Friday the 13th, the obvious fiction shock and drop value is in effect what makes it work while allowing us to sleep ok at night. Knowing these are fictional monsters seems to even justify we paying to watch the senseless killings. I argue that real life serial killers provide a much greater sense of ongoing fear in the masses at large.

In pondering my own “joke”, the reality of the situation that we seem to be facing inevitably is ushering a far grimmer notion of epidemic scale cannibalism than any zombie tale or Jeffry Dahmer biography. I beg the question, for how long can the ‘Great Agrression” go on for before gangs of desperate ruthless killers begin hunting and cannibalizing people?

I ask you to ask yourself that question. The problem isn’t merely just spoiled and selfish people, it’s that none will be prepared. Only the 10% of survivalist society will be prepared. That leaves the 10-20% of the wealthy and elitist sectors of society who can pull off preparedness at the last minute (and who are meant to survive anyways).  That leaves quite a few zombies…

The Great Aggression:

Few will be prepared, and this perpetual state of unpreparedness coupled with the Neocommunist economic meltdown will spell the true disaster. If all people were prepared then the masses would hardly collapse regardless of the Establishments plans. The problem with today’s society vs. that of the Mad Max films is that there will be several far more people. An unprepared selfish society is its own nemesis.

Top economic forecasters predict something worse than the original ‘Great Depression’, and they predict social turmoil, but the situation eventually shocks and scares the best of us beyond our ability to focus. Top economic forecasters like Gerald Celente will project further into the darkest depths of future civilization than most. Celente even harshly uses the phrase “America will become the first undeveloped nation”.

After 4 years of rigorous study into the psyche of selfish American sheeple society, and the Media machine that programs it, in conjunction with Celente’s forecasts, I see a darker vision. It comes down to how much faith you have in society. I have about the same faith in society as I do it’s ‘chosen’ government. Ask yourself how much time of food shortages would pass before the masses begin feeding on the masses.

To me this reality is far more chilling than anything Hollywood could conjure. These aren’t ‘undead’ brainless monsters. These are humans with ‘fully functional’ brains. They know how to the weapons they have. They know to find your outside electircal shutoff box to cut the power. They are able to dive thru your windows and kick down your doors at roughly the same time. And the can distingiush your ideology and ethnicity to select you as prey. A well armed family is doomed at the arrival of dozens of these types of ‘zombies’.

And to think I used to refer to the masses as “zombies” from time to time in the past. Today the film “Dawn of the Dead” (the original) is more like educational than entertainment, as is the Road Warrior. I don’t count out the reality that society becomes like that of the Road Warrior, where men do feed upon men, so throw a ‘bird flu’ in the mix and you’re not too far off.

So even if it doesnt get that bad, or at least for awhile, I still argue that right now today is the “New Great Depression”. What tomorrow brings is what I call “The Great Aggression”. And click on the news from the past few weeks of shootings and so on and it sounds to me like we’re already getting there. Better hope there aren’t mass food shortages anytime soon…

*Neocommunism to prevent the masses from affording Life Extension technologies.

This is a draft script from a key segment of my upcoming
“an unholy alliance” film. It’s in part a nicer re-write of my
recent Neocommunism piece, but expands it into looming
life extension technologies may soon be available to the masses,
and neocommunism is part of the solution to that “problem”.

Ignorance Is Futile:

In the sense that technology is always a double-edged blade, the prospects of life extension also pose serious problems for the ruling elite. The problem is likely you, and everyone you know. The problem is the masses, both at home and abroad. Imagine an overpopulated planet where the over populating species manages to create technologies which will theoretically allow them to live forever. The problem is the population explosion, which started with 20th Century medicine, and is now set to topple with looming 21st Century medical advances. But there is a solution that they seem to be employing.

To understand our situation we must take a look at the worlds central banking system. We must look at the Federal Reserve in particular, although the same applies to other currency systems such as the Euro. The critical truth of the matter is that the so-called “Fed” is privately owned, and it perpetually devalues the currency. Despite the euphemistic title, and the sense of it being “the government’ the way its discussed on TV, it absolutely is not an actual agency of The People, of the Federal Government. Instead its the other way around.

It was born of a diabolical scheme of corrupt banksters. It was legislated into power in a crooked manner like the infamous Patriot Act. There are many films documenting its history that can be viewed for free online. It’s a system of domination. Its a perpetual suck machine that preys upon the weak while securing the wealth of the elite. When it was established in 1913, the IRS and income taxes came with it. In today’s reality income taxes and the hidden inflation tax hardly even cover the interest that incurs from the $10+ trillion in national debt. Because of inflation the dollar is worth less than 4 cents compared to 1913.

People often say the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. The argument is typically presented in a sense of animosity, or just because rich people have money to invest. It takes money to make money. But the privately owned banking system if the key to the scientific proof that the economic system is designed for the rich to at least stay rich, while the unwealthier one is the more they’re exploited. Inflation means devaluation of the currency, and it is the key to understanding with great clarity our slavery to the system.

When the value of your money is devalued by the system that prints it out of thin air, you’re literally being robbed blind. At the end of the year you still might have the same number of monetary units, but their value is worth less. There are some ways around it, but the worse off you are financially the less likely you can try to hedge against it. Until recent times, you could usually store your assets in real estate property. For this same reason few hardly ever put much cynical thought into the inflationary system. Property owners realize that the value of their property usually goes up each year. Some even attribute this of inflation, and then consider inflation a good thing. But unless something like renovations of a neighborhood cleanup has increased the real value of your property, the rest of any annual appraisal increase can be mostly attributed to the fact that it takes more monetary units to purchase the same property. So the value of your house didn’t go up that year, instead the following year you’d need more dollars to buy it than the last year.

So if you had all of your financial assets in your home in a typical year then you might have offset this sucking process. But the rest of you who don’t own any real estate lost out. Especially the people who dump all of their money into their car lost out. The value of a car goes down partially despite the drop in money value. Some even like to say they lose $10K in value as you drive it off the lot. But the way our propagandistic controlled media and federal educational system works, we don’t have the inflationary principle hammered into our heads. More like the opposite. So we chase vanity and commercialism and obsess over cars and clothes instead of figuring out how to handle our limited wealth in ways that it might retain its value.

One can’t even competently project their own personal financial forecasts without having this issue as a top consideration. And the way it works today if you don’t get a $1 raise this year at work you’re probably still losing out after you compare your assumed to what the dollar is worth compared to last year. And if you didn’t get a raise period you’re in total decline. Never mind those on fixed incomes like retirement or disability. There are other ways around inflation, and obviously the more wealth you have the easier this becomes. One way would be to invest, but that can also be gambling. You can tie it up in precious metals. You can buy more property. But these things can be hassle-some.

The other way to do it is in high interest incurring bank accounts. We’ve all heard the lotto junkies pipe-dream. I’ll win $20M, spend half and put the other half in the bank to collect interest. If I get an account that pays 7% that will give me $700,000 a year to live off of. But the irony is those funds are in effect the payout to offset the inflation rate for that year. In 2007 it was something like 12%, but in years before the Neocommunism agenda went into overdrive it was probably something like 7%. So the lotto winner could do that, but even in the past when the banksters still perpetrated the delicate balancing act to keep people from thinking much about it your $700,000 would still buy you less each year and now that we’re on the verge of hyper inflation that $10M isn’t being saved by the mere 7%. It shouldn’t take rocket science formulas to conclude that the more money you have the better rate you could get. So that’s the system how it is and pretty much has been for over 95 years.

But now we’re in a darker era. We’re in a New Great Depression that stinks so bad that its hard to understand how it could get this bad unless by design. The climax of the original Great Depression can be attributed to the privately owned Federal Reserve. But this one promises to be much worse than the original.

In addition to what Gerald Celente listed (at time 3:15) about how this will be worse than the Great Depression, there’s also something to the tune of $40T in entitlements about to roll in from the aging baby boomer generation. It’s awful convenient for some that as humanity is on the verge of potentially conquering the aging process and even death, it faces the worst economic disaster in human history. The treatments, enhancements and augmentation for the new transhuman god race will vary in costs. True immortality will likely require more than one form of medicine. But with the law of accelerating returns and economics of scale at least some of these vast array of potential beneficial advancements will be economic for those worth less than billions.

So this may answer the question being asked by many. More and more influential people are proposing that the Fed deliberately caused this. But it begs the question of why? What would occur that would cause the ruling elite to plunder and bankrupt the not just the globe but even the domestic populace? They already have all the power. They already have money beyond the comprehension of the masses. In perpetrating such an endgame they risks being spotted and shown, when normally they could play their games comfortably from behind the curtain. And over a typical 50 year plot, they still get to plunder anyways.

But the final answer to the question is the New Great Depression is being used as a gentle form of neo-population-control. And there are various quotes and such around talking of mass global depopulation of up to 90% of the global population. But even if those quotes are under consideration by the powers at be, with Neocommunism they might be able to let us mostly live, just not afford to all have designer babies, god like cognition and most importantly indefinite lifespans. In that context, maybe they’ll let the masses still increase in population as we would naturally (aside from our food being unfit to eat), except we’ll be given much harder odds at ever being able to afford to live forever. And never-ending global wars like the New Cold War and the War on Terror should keep a nice slice from reproducing.

And all signs point to this economic meltdown having been engineered. Every mainstream news source can be quoted as saying that the subprime loan disaster is what catapulted us down into the inevitable downward spiral abyss. The key to undeveloping a nation and the world with it is in destroying the housing market. And destroy it they did by central economic planning the interest rates that fueled the subprime predatory lending wave. But Federal Reserve apologists lay the blame on the banks who did the lending. The problem with that is the private owners of the Fed, whom over $5Trillion of the US national debt is owed to, are none other than the stock holders in the member banks.

So the outcome is neocommunism. You see socialism can be a whole range of things, like Welfare. The key ingredient that sets communism apart from socialism is property ownership. Seizure of private property is the first item on the list in the Communist Manifesto. Neocommunism differs from classical communism in that normally the communist central government conducts central economic planning thru the central bank. In neocommunism, the privately owned central bank conducts central economic planning, and controls the central government. And the sickest irony of it all is that at least communism is more honest about what it is, because now that the owners of the Fed are the ones who are gaining the actual ownership in this quiet nationalization of the primary mortgage banks, when you default on your loans your property may now go to the top of the food chain.

It wasn’t enough that local states governments all charge property taxes and if those aren’t payed you get evicted. It’s too bad that the income taxes perpetrated by the federal government cause a scenario where local states actually need to tax your property so they can build the roads and infrastructure that you actually use. The federal runaway spending facilitated by the Federal Reserve is helping to drive this country well beyond a never payable debt slavery, and the more the national debt goes up thru crisis and the big brother panopticon the more the banksters anchor their power broker positions.

So this a window into seeing that this notion of the US political system being some kind of democracy where voting (for either of the 2 stooges the new anchors ensure us can only win will) make a difference. But to go much further into naming names is beyond the scope of this presentation. Instead we’ll shift into what drives our masters. The topic is of particular association with neoeugenic transhumanism in particular. The underlying logic of transhumanism is playing gods in guiding our own evolution. It is the ultimate physical manifestation and embracement of Darwinism. And Social Darwinism is the key to understanding those who have long considered themselves to be gods over the mindless masses.

Social Darwinism is the logical social outcome of Darwinian philosophy. What this means to the types of sociopathic control freaks that often find their way into power in a world where nice guys finish last, to them it means applying Darwinian logic to social science. In Darwinism the central tenet is natural selection; selection of the finest. So for the successful to exceed, advance and persist that’s the natural order of things. It’s the forces of nature, and for the unsuccessful and the weak to squander and perish that’s also nature at work. It’s the way its meant to be, and if anything is divine then this is it. And now in the 21st Century the logic is that we must take control of evolution, because it is us humans who are the gods. Apply that logic to Social Darwinism and now we have a context of how the ‘gods’ of us humans handle the world in the 21st Century, and we’re all seeing this manifest more and more everyday, even on the propaganda TV.

*Obama’s NBIC (nano-bio-info-cogno convergence) Agenda.

http://change.gov/agenda/technology/:

“America risks being left behind in the global economy: Revolutionary advances in information technology, biotechnology, nanotechnology and other fields are reshaping the global economy. Without renewed efforts, the United States risks losing leadership in science, technology and innovation. ” LINK MIRROR

With all of his talk about “change”, is it only me who senses the irony here? The “Revolutionary” advances he’s talking about are Artificial General Intelligence (”information technology”), genetic engineering / synthetic biology & designer babies (”biotechnology”), and too much in terms of nanotechnology to sound-byte like the others. The “other fields” he mentioned is almost certainly the other field he didn’t mention, cognitive sciences.

What he’s likely referring to is “convergence”, and unlike Bush (who once made a similar statement) I get the feeling he understands these things with a far greater degree of clarity. This ‘convergence’ is the unifying merger of these sciences into a vast paradigm shifting new form of science / technology. It’s the fusion of these sciences into one. It’s really hard to even describe. It’s hard enough trying to describe the key component nanotechnology. I think its impossible to even conceptualize the world of nano without watching the following short video presentation:

A 482 page document, titled Converging Technologies for Improving Human Performance, which is the outcome of a 2001 workshop by the National Science Foundation & Dept. of Commerce explains convergence this way:

The integration and synergy of the four technologies (nano-bio-info-cogno) originate from the nanoscale, where the building blocks of matter are established. This picture symbolizes the confluence of technologies that now offers the promise of improving human lives in many ways, and the realignment of traditional disciplinary boundaries that will be needed to realize this potential. New and more direct pathways towards human goals are envisioned in working habits, in economic activity, and in the humanities.

In the early decades of the twenty-first century, concentrated efforts can unify science based on unity in nature, thereby advancing the combination of nanotechnology, biotechnology, information technology, and new humane technologies based in cognitive science. With proper attention to ethical issues and societal needs, converging technologies could determine a tremendous improvement in human abilities, societal outcomes, the nations productivity, and the quality of life. This is a broad, cross-cutting, emerging and timely opportunity of interest to individuals, society and humanity in the long term.

The phrase convergent technologies refers to the synergistic combination of four major NBIC (Nano-Bio-Info-Cogno) provinces of science and technology, each of which is currently progressing at a rapid rate: (a) nanoscience and nanotechnology; (b) biotechnology and biomedicine, including genetic engineering; (c) information technology, including advanced computing and communications; (d) cognitive science, including cognitive neuroscience.

In short, the idea is to create an entire new realm of science, and therefore ‘life’, by unifying these key technology paradigms into one new format. It’s not merely to propose creating new lifeforms via genetic engineering, but rather create cyborgs at the cellular scale. Meaning each cell is in itself a biological nanobot cyborg that is alone artificially intelligent, yet are also meant to function collectively in many cases. Then these are to serve a wide array of uses from neural brain implants to ubiquitous intelligent panels and components on NASA spaceships.

The document mentioned is in effect perhaps the ultimate Transhumanism manifesto in existence, and the list of federal agencies and their collaborators in just that 2002 NBIC document is exhaustive:

White House, National Science Foundation, Department of Commerce, Newt Gingrich, NASA, National Institutes of Health, Hewlet Packard, Institute for Global Futures, National Science and Technology Councils Subcommittee on Nanoscale Science Engineering and Technology (NSET), IBM, Raytheon, Lucent, University of California, Stanford University, Sandia National Labs, Brandeis University, MIT, University of Washington, University of Strathclyde, Tissue Informatics, University of Pennsylvania, University of Louisville, NYU Medical School, University of Calgary, Duke University, University of Texas, UCSB, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, National Institute of Standards and Technology, Carnegie Melon University, Department of Defense, DARPA, Naval Research Laboratory, Defense For Research, New England Complex Systems Institute, University of Virginia, University of Maryland, Institute of Nanotechnology, Office of Science and Technology Policy, Commision on the Future of Aerospace, US Nuclear Regulatory Commision, Defense Threat Reduction Agency, The EPA, Department of Chemistry, Princeton Materials Institute …

One notable name from that list is Newt Gingrich. Newt did a key keynote presentation, and in it he refers to our current era in time as the “Age of Transitions”:

Figure A.2. The Age of Transitions.

We are starting to live through two patterns of change. The first is the enormous computer and communications revolution described above. The second, only now beginning to rise, is the combination of the nanotechnology-biology-information revolution. These two S curves will overlap. It is the overlapping period that we are just beginning to enter, and it is that period that I believe will be an Age of Transitions.

Focusing on computers and communications is only the first step toward understanding the Age of Transitions. While we are still in the early stages of the computer-communications pattern of change, we are already beginning to see a new, even more powerful pattern of change that will be built on a synergistic interaction between three different areas: the nano world, biology, and information.

The sciences have reached a watershed at which they must combine in order to advance most rapidly. The new renaissance must be based on a holistic view of science and technology that envisions new technical possibilities and focuses on people. The unification of science and technology can yield results over the next two decades on the basis of four key principles: material unity at the nanoscale, NBIC transforming tools, hierarchical systems, and improvement of human performance.

If anyone out there underestimates Newt Gingrich I highly recommend you read his lengthy contribution to that document. He goes on:

We are living through two tremendous patterns of scientific-technological change: an overlapping of a computer-communications revolution and a nanotechnology-biology-information revolution. Each alone would be powerful; combined, the two patterns guarantee that we will be in constant transition as one breakthrough or innovation follows another.

One last Newt quote:

Computing is a key element in this revolution.

And that brings us back to Obama, and his new friends at Google. Recent news has Obama popping up in my Google News Gadgets I normally use to monitor whenever Google or DARPA pop up in news articles with the term “artificial intelligence”. In particular interest is Obama’s alliance with Eric Schmidt, the CEO of Google. It turns out that Eric not only endorsed Obama before his presidential victory, but he even went as far as to hit the campaign trail with him during the last month. See video here of Eric discussing his endorsement, and here where he was featured in Obama’s 30 minute infomercial. In the time since the election ended, he’s now one of Obama’s special economic advisers. Another Google name, in Obama’s transition team is Sonal Shah.

This is the trailer for my upcoming film, “an unholy alliance”, which chronicles the Google-NASA-DARPA alliance.

The Google-Obama alliance brings context to my assertions of Obama’s initial ‘revolutionary’ technologies statement when you consider the NASA-Google alliance which Google & NASA press releases described the partnership as being focused on “massively distributed computing” and “bio-info-nano convergence“.

Al Gore also comes to mind here considering he’s been on Google’s board of senior advisers since shortly after he “lost” the 2000 election when he also began his “Global Warming” ‘crusade’. Considering the above reasons alone I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if we soon hear of Gore becoming Obama’s new “Chief Technology Officer”.

While Obama has been somewhat sketchy about how he intends to deal with NASA funding matters, I think with my above elaborations his following quote on the subject gains new light:

“What direction do we take the space program in? Once we have a sense of what’s going to be most valuable for us in terms of gaining knowledge, then I think we’ll able to adjust the budget so that we’re going all out on what it is that we’ve decided to do.”

Back to Google, and that Converging Technologies doocument, I’d like to point out one more thing. In the same sense that Google’s cofounders want everybody to have Google enabled neural implants, the drafters of the NBIC document also envision what they call the “collective social system“.

*Game developers targeted for AGI herding at Stanford AIIDE Conference.

“AIIDE is the definitive point of interaction between entertainment software developers interested in AI and academic and industrial AI researchers. Sponsored by the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI)“, note in their own words, “the conference is targeted at both the research and commercial communities, promoting AI research and practice in the context of interactive digital entertainment systems with an emphasis on commercial computer and video games.”

And I thought multiplayer games with live humans was were we ended up, AI bots being a thing of the past or for the weary not having broadband Net connections. But some of what was presented was ways to use various types of narrow AI to better automate development processes, while games with non-player-characters still persist in adventure type forms. In my final years of gaming a few years ago only live human opponents in RTS & ultraviolent action games was any fun, but I guess some aren’t giving up on that while the gaming industry is set to not only help incrementalize us into full immersion neural interface gaming but to also help tackle the strong AI “problem” (as AGI proponents always call it).

Gamasutra had a relevant point here:

But Rabin put forth his own challenge for the future: Despite all this, why is AI still allowed to suck? Because, in his view, sharp AI is just not required for many games, and game designers frequently don’t get what AI can do. That was his challenge for this AIIDE -– to show others the potential, and necessity, of game AI, to find the problems that designers are trying to tackle, and solve them.

And Strong AI was certainly a theme:

Rabin talked about the challenges that future development is facing: costs are rising, risk is greater. CPU power is improving, but we haven’t found a strong AI use for it.

In any case, I really wanted to just do a quick post to underscore Stanford’s role in all of the AGI type talk found in my work. That institution is a key fountainhead right in lockstep with DARPA and Google, but I rarely get the time write much about it. Stanford pops up on my radar almost as much as the sorts like Google, DARPA, NASA and so on. So for those who find interest in this line of my work around here you’ll start noticing Stanford just the same if you havent been already.

WATCH IT IN GOOD QUALITY ON VUZE

Official trailer for my upcoming shock documentary that focuses on the alliance between Google, DARPA & NASA in developing ‘artificial general intelligence’, a system that Google cofounder Sergei Brin says will “be like the mind of god”. Their goal is to kick-start the Technological Singularity in just a few years time.

Expect an early 2009 release.

CHAPTER 2

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgtYQIQuNAM

Official trailer for my upcoming shock documentary that focuses on the Right’s use of the delusional “War on Terror” and the Left’s use of fantastical “Global Warming” to terrorize the masses into the same ‘artificial general intelligence’ outcome. Chapter 1 focuses on the AGI system being built by the NASA / DARPA / Google alliance, where this chapter focuses on the parallel ‘religions’ being used by the 2 party system to drive the masses into funding and eventually supporting the same ‘god on earth’ AI system.

Mid – Late 2009 release.
