Virtual Reality, Not So Virtual In Your Mind
As technology rapidly advances we need to see beyond the reasons we are told for the new changes and see what harm they may cause.
Recently on a show called Cutting through the Matrix the host made an insightful connection. We believe from countless books and other information the elite want to move everyone into austerity. We have been on a continual maneuver towards sustainability and that means a goal of stripping us of our possessions and our materialistic needs. With the deluge of tech devices and services over the last decade we have been able to get rid of many possessions already.
Ads That ‘Stalk’ You
Several months ago I was looking to purchase a small, cheap video camera, which I could carry around without too much bother and constantly be on hand, in case a UFO was to fly by or something…
After surfing to the usual online stores and checking camera features and prices, I was ultimately led to the Flip HD line of cameras. One of which I did eventually purchase, and have been very happy with it.
What was strange about this online shopping experience was that months after the purchase I notices that whenever I browsed the web, Flip HD ads would follow me! No matter what site I visited, or what content I was browsing, there somewhere on the page was an ad for a Flip HD?
I had discovered, the Ads That Stalk you…

The Ownership Of Language
Bizarre ownership claims abound in a world dominated by power, ego and greed.
In 1999 Yale University sued Wrexham County Borough Council over the use of the name Yale College.
In 2002 Former Spice Girl Victoria (Mrs. David) Beckham once lodged a counter claim against a football club to have sole rights to the word ‘Posh’.

Llandrillo : The Welsh Roswell?
Crash Mountain Above Llandrillo
This week the British Government released papers relating to an incident which occurred in January 1974. A thirty year embargo had prevented the public from seeing official findings of what was reported to be a crashed UFO in the Berwyn Mountains near to the village of Llandrillo in North East Wales.
A Government official declared that the incident was of natural phenomena rather than extra terrestrial. To this day, the Berwyn Mountain Incident is still referred to as ‘The Welsh Roswell’.
If the event WAS of natural consequences, then why slap a thirty year rule upon it? Mrs. Pat Evans ( Nurse) from the village was adamant in her statements. She was a well respected figure, straightforward and honest.
Her story – together with the statements from Farmer Williams – are not easily dismissible. Nor are the people who continue to step forward, the latest being in 2008 when the Government released papers regarding UFO sightings in the UK, yet not the Berwyn Incident. Click below for a Mindset Special Report from the area around where the incident occurred. Then read Andy Roberts’ excellent text on the case.

A Digital Prison
I was going to title this post “A Digital Prison – Excuses for Not Posting and Disappearing from the World”, but I thought that was overkill. Anyone of you reading this who has dabbled just a little in the esoteric and parapolitcal or you are just conspiratorially paranoid should know about privacy and information awareness. I just recently got a Motorola Droid X (I am not associated with Moto, Verizon or Google) and I think this thing is fantastic it has just absorbed me for days and many friends of mine own similar devices and at work we are all glued into the constant web or other entertainment on our phones. Calling these mini-personal computers phones is really a mockery to all that they really do and occasional ya they can be used to make calls.
In a day where even I am paranoid of how much personal information everyone collects on me it seems pointless when you own one of these devices and you believe that companies like Google and Verizon have open sharing with government access. Not to mention the worry of having your personal information stolen by installing a nefarious third-party application to the device. Perhaps these are similar hurdles we have come to surpass in our connections to computers already but the smart phone has many more ways of collecting a detailed dataset on an individual. With the power of Google behind it who knows the kind of collections of profiles they have on people.
An informational video on Google’s range of “interests”
For a certain populace of conspiracy minded people who were worried about implanted chips who stated hell no I won’t get one. If that same person owns a smartphone they are basically chipped with a way more advanced tracking device. It may be external from the body but who (of those that treasure electronics enough to own a smartphone) goes anywhere without their phone?
Here is a summary of just some of the features of the Droid X powered by the Android operating system made by Google:
3 microphones for picking up excellent quality sound
Fairly accurate and fast voice commands, navigation and recognition throughout the device’s apps.
>1000 meter accuracy location awareness even when user has turned off GPS (using cell location services)
Near 3-10 meter accuracy with GPS
720p HD camcorder and 8MP camera to get a clear picture of anything going on.
Internal magnet that obtains orientation and movement of the phone
Required Gmail login for phone’s complete integration and cloud sync with Google services including calendar, email, contacts, docs, search history, and more. Remember the constitution’s 4th amendment is currently interpreted by the courts to not cover information in the cloud.
Many thousands of apps can be obtained on the device to collect numerous information on the individual.
Usually your most personal information can be found on this device, your SMS text messages, email correspondence, who you call, who you associate with, where you go, what your interests are. It wouldn’t take a pro CIA agent to pick up a pattern from you and build a psychological evaluation of someone from all this.
Well with all that knowledge here I am holding my Droid and loving it in a sad foolish way.
Oil: Interesting Times
China has this week become the biggest user of oil on the planet , overtaking the USA according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). Whereas once China exported the stuff, now they are a major importer and guzzler , putting pressure on supplies and raising the market price. And of course threatening the west and its massive oil companies into the bargain.
Chinese companies are now all over the globe, seeking new business deals in areas of the world which the USA and UK companies have abandoned due to international pressure.
China are concentrating a lot of their efforts in Central Asia , South America and Africa. Of course , the Middle East is a happy hunting ground , with Saudi Arabia this year selling more oil to China than the USA. China are now Saudi’s biggest buyer.
Meanwhile Western Oil Companies remain under attack from public opinion , who are already educated that oil is a polluter, harmful to the planet and is running out rapidly. The BP oil leak is an ongoing environmental and political tragedy unfolding on a daily basis. The murkiness of the Gulf of Mexican waters is only matched by the geopolitical machinations of the company itself and politicians.
A small phalanx of both have been making bad headlines in their dealings with Libya in order to secure more oil for themselves in an ever increasing shark eat shark marketplace.
Now EXXON (daddy of ESSO oil) have hit the headlines, albeit for less sinister and more self protective reasons. Climate Change subscribers are jumping up and down in frustration that EXXON continues to sponsor sceptic organisations and scientists, despite an assurance that they would cease the practise. The bemoaners fail to see the irony that they themselves are sponsored to the hilt in order to reach conclusions which fit their beliefs.
Meanwhile , China is not without its pollution problems. Laying aside that it is now the biggest polluter ( again overtaking the USA in this particular league table), the Yellow Sea is today awash with an oil spill of its own, with authorities saying there will be a 10 day clean up operation. An explosion at a pipeline occurred after an ( ironically) Libyan Tanker had discharged its load , with pipe lines and storage depots bursting into flames that blazed over the weekend in the Port of Dalian.
Over in the UK , Lloyds of London ( the insurance market ) are reporting a ‘supply crunch’ that may or may not occur before ‘peak oil’ is reached in 2020. In addition , Lloyds cite other developments that will force change into how the UK will use its existing energy supllies – interestingly the first two cited are of a political nature ( Climate Change and geopolitical issues) together with a resurgence in coal and natural gas.
Control of oil is now slipping out of the hands of the West , despite numerous wars and dodgy dealings to prop up supplies now being greedily devoured by a developing Asia. Necessity being the Mother of Invention, how long before the panic button is pressed and we see the release of suppressed technology?
Laser Wars : Technology Nightmare
First there was conventional war. Then there were the Drones Wars. Now we see a new ‘sexy’ weapon enter the scene – a weapon which will be no stranger to readers of Asimov, Clarke and Roddenberry.
No sooner has the spectre of drones above the streets of the Western ( and Eastern) World been brandished as ‘the way ahead for security and overseas operations’ than the same boffins of the military complex reveal a weapon to make drones nigh on unusable.
Anti-drone lasers were unveiled at the Farnborough Airshow last week and according to a BBC report, makers Raytheon said
” …the solid state fibre laser produces a 50 kilowatt beam and can be used against UAV, mortar, rockets and small surface ships. “ By comparison, a coffee machine uses 1 kilowatt. Another test, this off the Californian coast, saw 5 x 5 kilowatt lasers down 4 incoming drones without fuss. A spokesman for Raytheon said
” One of the Navy’s problems is that the bad guys have UAV’s now.” How true.
The company refuses to say what distance lasers have, though admit it is a lot further than the current guns mounted on Navy Patrol Vessels.
As we enter a nightmare scenario of war without end, sci-fi writers will be rubbing their hands at possible scenarios.

The Great Firewall of… Australia?
A supposedly “free” country that is also an “apparent” democracy, is now going full steam ahead down the dark path of censorship.
The concept of government-backed web censorship is usually associated with nations where human rights and freedom of speech are routinely curtailed. But if Canberra’s plans for a mandatory Internet filter go ahead, Australia may soon become the first Western democracy to join the ranks of Iran, China and a handful of other nations where access to the Internet is restricted by the state.

Robot I-Fairy Officiates At Wedding
I-Fairy, I do.
Isaac Asimov may be impressed with how the robotics industry has developed over the past few years, but even the great man himself might balk at the latest ‘task’ assigned to the robots world. A Tokyo couple were married by a white clad robot in a ceremony this week, the I-Fairy creation currently at hire for $68000 from Kokoro of Japan.
Robots ( if you own one) would of course come a lot cheaper than a human priest as robotic needs are simple – a few volts of electricity and a squirt of oil. They don’t require a gratuity, are safe around children and don’t polish off any of the alcohol bought specifically for guests.
However, with 43 percent of marriages ending in bitter divorce, philosophers may begin to question whether Asimov’s first Law of Robotics might apply in conducting wedding ceremonies.
