Stephen Hawking's Extraterrestrial Menace: And here there be aliens

Posted by on April 28th, 2010

the world’s most famous physicist is warning about contact with aliens. One government consultant has been forthcoming about his own extraterrestrial experience.

“The result of the promised contact was that if I had any doubts about whether they existed, such doubts were shortly to be resolved. I almost got killed in the process.”

(STARpod.org) — the Internet is buzzing with talk: the world’s most famous physicist has warned that contact with extraterrestrial aliens might be downright dangerous.

Of course Hawking is speaking in hypothetical terms: the good Professor seems fairly certain the Earth has not been visited by otherworld interlopers in recent times.

Perhaps Professor Hawking is unaware of the CORE STORY: a tale government insiders have shared about contact with extraterrestrial aliens, by members of the US government, no less.

And then there is the curious case of Ingo Swann, a former US government consultant.

If Ingo Swann is to be believed — and this coming from a man who held top secret clearance and trained officers from the USAF, the Defense Intelligence Agency, INSCOM, and many others too numerous to mention — then there is some truth behind the CORE STORY.

Not only are the aliens already here, according to Swann’s testimony from a rare out-of-print book, self-published in 1998, but they are building something on the far side of the moon.

And, according to Swann, Professor Hawking is correct about one thing.

They are not friendly.

In late February, 1975, Ingo Swann’s affair with the mysterious was initiated by a phone call from a well placed acquaintance, who alerted Swann to a forthcoming contact with a real-life man in the black: a man Swann has assigned the pseudonym “Mr. Axelrod.”

At the time, Swann had been covertly recruited for another mysterious program: the CIA was secretly funding research into the use of psychic functioning for intelligence collection, and Swann had been on the short list of the best of the best.

The previous July, CIA had tasked a colleague of Swann to “remote view” a secret Soviet military installation, launching US involvement in what came to be known as the psychic cold war.

Weeks later the call to action came at three in the morning, requesting Swann’s presence in Washington, D.C.

In a scene worthy of a Hollywood movie, Swann was subjected to a full body search while enroute to the clandestine meeting. To prevent Swann from knowing the location of Axelrod’s secret underground lair, a black hood was placed over his head.

Needless to say, by this point Swann’s mind was spinning, wondering what on Earth he had gotten himself into.

The strange twists and turns of Swann’s recruitment into black ops psychic spying would eventually culminate in a close physical encounter with what appeared to be an alien machine.

Mr. Axelrod’s mission statement to recruit Swann was purely verbal: there was to be no paper trail; no secrecy statement; lending some evidence that Axelrod’s people might have been working under non-official-cover (NOC) — they would be denied by those in charge if their activities were ever revealed.

Swann soon learned Axelrod’s primary interests were less than Earthly. in addition to the potential of psychically remote viewing the lunar surface, Axelrod also had a fascination with the concept of telepathy, the sharing of thoughts in a conscious interface.

Axelrod debriefed Swann about his work at SRI, in particular the psychic method that later came to be known as coordinate remote viewing. How did it work? at first Axelrod limited discussions to the power of the group mind, and discussion of ‘memory’ addressing. were remote viewers accessing the universal mind-computer?

Thirty years prior to recent serious discussions that humanity might exist in a simulation of reality, Axelrod was probing Swann about a stored memory of all possible worlds and outcomes, and a means of accessing this potential database underlying reality. Dinner conversation also included discussion of telepathy: mind-to-mind communication, something that the Defense Intelligence Agency would become very interested in later, as shown by the once secret Project STAR GATE files.

Recent research using functional MRI technology to read the state of a human brain and correlate that state with behavior is an example of a primitive means of interfacing mind and machine.

Given a few million or more years to advance their technology, one might ask what kind of device might be evolved into the brain-mind of an alien civilization? And even more frightening: could such an alien device be adapted to undetectable command, control, communication, and computer systems covertly interfaced within the human brain?

Soon the discussion turned to Swann’s experimental remote viewing of the planet Jupiter which had yielded apparent hits, like the existence of rings around the planet. Axelrod was interested in Swann’s ‘trip’ to Jupiter, an attempt to see if he could psychically discover unknown details about the gas giant that might later be confirmed by the NASA Pioneer spacecraft.

And then he asked, “Ingo, what do you know about the moon?”

Swann had quickly agreed to accept $1000-a-day compensation to remote view the moon.

Axelrod tasked Ingo with a series of moon coordinates. Unknown to Swann, the targeted moon coordinates, about ten different locations, would bring him mind-to-mind with what he soon realized was an unearthly extraterrestrial presence.

Swann ‘saw’ with his mind’s eye craters in darkness, and decided that he must be seeing the hidden side of the moon, the side that always faces away from the Earth. upon achieving psychic ‘contact’ with the lunar surface, Swann first came upon what looked like trails of tractor-tread marks. Confusion set in until Swann realized that he was ‘seeing’ intelligent activity and structures on the moon.

In the depths of a crater he viewed a green, dusty haze lit by banks of artificial lights mounted on very large, tall towers. Swann was stunned by the realization that ‘someone’ or ‘something’ appeared, under the aegis of his mind’s eye, to be building a base on the moon. He had been inducted into an interplanetary operation and brought to mr. Axelrod’s underground facility by the need to monitor extraterrestrial activities in an unconventional way. Swann decided that Axelrod and company had been given the task of psychically spying on the alien moon base because the extraterrestrials had been less than friendly about conventional human curiosity.

When Ingo sensed that he had been psychically ‘spotted’ by two of the humanoid-looking inhabitants of the moon base, he questioned whether or not he was at risk.

Axelrod was less than forthcoming.

“I spent the next few months wondering if the ET’s were going to find me and zap my brains out of existence.”

Sometime in the late summer of 1976, Swann made several trips between SRI and Los Angeles to spend time with friends. Little did he know, but he was about to encounter Axelrod’s operatives again. During an ordinary trip to a Hollywood supermarket he was attracted to a super-sexy woman. As he stood near the scantily clad beauty, he experienced an ‘electric-shock’ that sent waves of goose bumps over his entire body, and stood his hair on end. Swann interpreted this psychic alert as a warning that all was not right with this woman.

In fact, he decided that she must be an extraterrestrial.

Swann had little time to react, however, as his shock turned to panic.

Looking down the aisle he saw both of mr. Axelrod’s operatives, real-life men in black; dressed not like the character played by will Smith, in suit and tie, but more like Arnold Schwarzenegger in “The Terminator,” dressed in black jeans, boots and tank tops. They were watching the strange, unearthly woman. Swann quickly left, knowing that Axelrod would soon be calling.

Later, Axelrod warned, “I feel obliged to tell you that she is really dangerous.”

Apparently Swann believed that Axelrod’s warning had confirmed his worst fear. not only were extraterrestrials on the moon, but they had operatives here on Earth, among the ordinary people. If Axelrod was to be believed, they were to be avoided at all possible cost.

One day, Swann was surprised to see mr. Axelrod standing in the dining hall at SRI, the home of the government’s secret psychic research. After a brief meet-up with Axelrod in the men’s room, Swann was directed to Axelrod’s Jeep, waiting outside in the parking lot.

Axelrod drove Swann to a Lear Jet waiting at the San Jose airport, and informed him that they might have an opportunity to see a UFO, “rather close up.”

After several hours of flight the plane made a covert landing without any lights onto a dark runway. This was followed by a two-hour drive into cold, dark mountains. Swann noticed that the van moved even after the van’s motor appeared to go silent.

Once they reached their destination, Axelrod, Swann and Axelrod’s two operatives hiked their way to the intended location.

Axelrod instructed Ingo, “Just observe, we’ll debrief later…Do not move unless I tell you to. They detect heat, noise, motion like mad.”

Swann, Axelrod and the two operatives watched, and waited. above a small lake, a gray fog began to rise. Swann was startled as the fog was suddenly awash in luminous colors. Purple, red and yellow lightning bolts silently shot out in all directions.

Then, suddenly an object appeared, fading into view over the lake waters. Swann described the object as triangular, almost diamond shaped.

“As I remember it, the thing did not ‘transport’ itself. it grew in place right where it appeared.”

With the appearance of the object a wind passed overhead, causing pine cones and branches to fall to the ground. Swann writes that “ruby-red laser beams” began shooting out from the object, which still appeared to be growing in size, even though it remain stationary over the same location above the lake. Swann estimated the fully visible object at ninety feet wide.

Laser beams hit the trees, and in the commotion of blasting pine and low-frequency pulsations, Swann was dragged out of harm’s way by Axelrod’s operatives. A beam cracked the branches at the location they had only moments before abandoned in urgent haste. Looking back for a final glimpse, Swann noticed that the water of the lake was being sucked up into the weird object.

Swann writes “I was virtually petrified with a kind of terror for which there are few words to describe.”

Upon returning to the airfield, Swann observed an USA-Alaska mail plane. He surmised that they had been in far northern Alaska.

Axelrod explained, “Our mission will be disbanded shortly and the work picked up by others, because of strategic security reasons involved.”

According to Swann, “The last I saw of mr. Axelrod was at the San Jose airport, and so there ends the tale of my encounters with him and his ultra-subterranean covert mission.”

U.S. approves settlement for black farmers

Posted by on February 21st, 2010

Cabinet officials exhorted Congress to approve the deal by setting aside money for the farmers, who have fought through three administrations to secure a measure of justice. in the starkest cases, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said, farmers lost their property after local administrators slow-pedaled loan applications, leaving them unable to plant key crops.

The agreement is part of a wider effort by Obama and senior officials to dispense with lawsuits stemming from America’s checkered civil rights legacy. in December, the Justice Department led efforts to settle a long-standing case with Native Americans who accuse the federal government of mismanaging royalty payments for natural resources mined on tribal lands. a settlement is awaiting congressional action.

Vilsack and Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. took a personal interest in striking a deal with the black farmers, whose leaders have appeared regularly in the halls of Congress and in the White House. Vilsack predicted that Congress will approve the settlement.

“I’m going to focus all my time and resources on making that happen,” he told reporters Thursday. “The president is prepared to indicate that it’s a priority not just for his administration but for the country.”

In a statement, Obama applauded the Cabinet members for “bringing these long-ignored claims of African American farmers to a rightful conclusion.”

The government paid $1 billion to settle a related case with 16,000 black farmers in 1999, but notification and communication errors led to some farmers being omitted from that settlement.

The agreement announced Thursday would provide cash payments and debt relief to farmers who applied too late to participate in the earlier settlement. Authorities say they are not certain how many farmers might apply this time, but analysts following the dispute say the number could be higher than 70,000.

Under the terms of the settlement, which also requires the approval of a federal judge, farmers can walk away if Congress does not act by March 31. Officials involved in the agreement, however, said they think they could secure an extension if necessary.

Farmers can apply through a streamlined process if they wish to submit claims for up to $50,000, or they can complete a more detailed claim that could result in a larger payment. The payout to each farmer would depend on how many people make claims, said Associate Attorney General Thomas J. Perrelli.

John W. Boyd Jr., president of the National Black Farmers Association, which has been lobbying for an agreement, said: “There’s a huge trust factor that has been broken. The $50,000 will not put a farmer who has lost his farm back on his land, but it will help them have some comfort in their final years.”

Since black farmers first filed the lawsuit, known as the Pigford case, in 1997, Hispanic farmers, women and Native Americans have also sued the government, based on alleged widespread discrimination in awarding agriculture loans and subsidies. Advocates for those farmers are expected to lobby Congress to be included in the new Pigford settlement in the weeks ahead, analysts said.

U.S. approves settlement for black farmers

Stock market: Futures trim losses on benign inflation news

Posted by on February 19th, 2010

Stocks are selling off in early trading after the Federal Reserve says it is raising the interest rate it charges banks for emergency loans.

The Fed said its action should not be seen as a sign that it will soon raise rates for consumers and businesses. But the stock market, which tends to trade on expectations for what the economy will be like in six to nine months, does seem to be anticipating that rates will rise.

Markets around the world were also down as investors feared that the Fed’s move will raise borrowing costs and slow the economic recovery. it has been widely expected that the central bank would begin pulling back on its economic stimulus measures. But late Thursday’s quarter-point increase in the discount rate to 0.75% came sooner than expected.

The Labor Department released a report Friday that said the consumer price index rose a smaller-than-expected 0.2% in January. Excluding food and energy, prices actually slipped 0.1%, its first monthly drop in 27 years.

Growing optimism about the strength of the U.S. economy had helped boost the Dow Jones industrial average rise by 3% over the past three days. But the surprise Fed announcement after Wall Street trading closed left traders wondering whether the so-called “exit strategy” from a loose monetary policy could come faster than expected and stifle U.S. consumer demand.

“It begs the questions of why this was not done, or at least signaled at a regular Federal Open Market Committee meeting,” said Marc Ostwald, strategist at Monument Securities in London.

“It certainly is the case that the Fed wants to see how money markets function without so much of the liquidity life support that the Fed has been providing, and as such one can term this a form of ‘kite flying’,” said Ostwald.

The benign price news gives the Fed more time to keep key interest rates at record-low levels to shore up the economy and should ease worries in financial markets that a Fed rate hike is more imminent.

Asian stocks were down nearly 2% in earlier trading and the dollar, which is supported by higher interest rates, extended its advance. European markets were mixed.

Bond prices were mixed Friday. the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note, which moves opposite its price, fell to 3.80% from 3.81% late Thursday. the yield on the three-month T-bill, considered one of the safest investments, rose to 0.12% from 0.08% late.

The dollar rose against other major currencies. Gold and oil prices fell.

Overseas, Japan’s Nikkei stock average fell 2.1%. In afternoon trading, Britain‘s FTSE 100 was down 0.2%, Germany’s DAX index was down 0.2%, while France’s CAC-40 was up 0.2%.

Follow the Evidence – Why Reasonable (Non-allergic) People Must Get Flu Shots

Posted by on January 4th, 2010

This morning my husband headed downtown for his first call to jury duty in many years. He’s a good choice, I must say. He’s thoughtful, intelligent, a good listener and understands how to weigh evidence. if he ends up on a jury, he’ll be fair and will serve justice well, as it should be.

His call to jury duty got me thinking more about my post last week about getting flu shots, and the poll that brought so many comments. Those comments, with few exceptions, were anti-vaccine and put me in my place, some calling me arrogant and ignorant.

Arrogant? perhaps. but ignorant? I think not. Here’s the evidence — why I take the stand I do:

No matter how you feel about vaccines, the evidence is VERY STRONGLY IN FAVOR of the benefits of flu vaccines. The following information is publicly available from the CDC through VAERS, the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting system (which, I will remind you, has no monetary stake in whether we get vaccinated or not). As of December 23 (the latest information):

  • 92.6 million doses of H1N1 vaccine have been distributed
  • 6945 “adverse events” have been reported, mostly considered “non-serious” (e.g. someone’s arm was sore)
  • 410 of those 6945 adverse events were reported as serious (life threatening, including death or major disability)
  • 29 of the 410 were deaths
  • 32 incidents of Guillian-Barre Syndrome were reported, but are not yet assessed to be a result of the vaccine (In the United States, 80-160 cases of GBS are expected to occur each week, regardless of vaccination)
  • According to the report, these outcomes are considered to be equal to those of annual seasonal flu vaccine.

Of the 92.6 million doses of vaccine, 29 people have died. The math (which has taken me a half dozen tries to get right) comes out to one’s chances of dying from the vaccine as .00000000313 % — meaning — less than 1 in 3 million.

As of November 14 (latest figures) the CDC estimate 9,260 people have died from getting the H1N1 flu. these are people who did not get the vaccine. they also estimate 47 million people have had the H1N1 swine flu. That figures to a .ooo197 % chance of dying from the flu – meaning — 1 in 5,075.

Put another way – my chances of dying from the flu are 591% GREATER than dying from the vaccine.

I am a healthy person to begin with. these statistics don’t even take into account the many people I come into contact with who aren’t healthy or who are at high risk (like small children.) if I pass the flu on to them, and they get sick and die….

I would like to think I don’t come into contact with people who are at risk — I work from home and don’t go out much. BUT — I go to supermarkets and other stores where I touch shopping carts and goods I’m considering purchasing. I go to church or synagogue. I go to the studio to tape my radio show, etc. All together, there may be hundreds or thousands of people who touch things I’ve just touched (or I touch things they have just touched…) Even if I think I wash and sanitize constantly…. I can’t keep up with it 100% of the time…

…and neither can you.

Can I, in all good conscience, not get that shot? (Can you?)

I have no excuses. my husband, on that jury, would have to look at the evidence — and he would have to decide that the evidence points to reasonable people choosing to get the flu vaccine because reasonable people need to protect others, not just themselves. OR, reasonable people can be held accountable.

Do I think vaccines are a perfect solution? Of course not. And yes, of course I understand that people who have allergies or are otherwise negatively affected by vaccines must avoid them — that makes perfect sense — and for them, the evidence means they need to do whatever else they can to protect themselves and the others around them. The evidence tells them they are at more risk by getting the vaccine than by not getting it.

But for the rest of us — it’s the vaccine that makes sense until something else, less invasive, comes along. The best tool we smart patients have for keeping the flu at bay is the flu shot. And truthfully, we are lucky to have it. More than 500,000 Americans died from the 1918 flu — before vaccines were available.

Here’s a completely different line of thought for those of you conspiracy theorists out there:

Regular readers know I’m very much about following the money. when something in healthcare doesn’t make sense, it’s usually because there is a profit motive behind it. for those of you who cite commentary about how bad these vaccines are and who think they are developed simply so pharmaceutical companies can make money from them – have you considered how much pharma could just LOVE IT if we all catch the flu? they make peanuts from vaccines – perhaps just a bit better than break-even. they could make MUCH more money by selling us those drugs that relieve symptoms. (I’ve often thought the cure for the common cold is out there — but it’s kept under wraps because pharma makes so much more money from the remedies.)

So for today — follow the evidence. You may not like it – and to be honest, I don’t either. I would much prefer to stay in my own little world and think I can’t catch – or pass on — the flu. but the evidence tells me otherwise, and based on that evidence there is only one real answer. if you don’t like it? Then show me some evidence — some real numbers — that prove your point.

PS: I will say — for those dissenters among you — I love that you have given this so much consideration, and I love that you feel empowered by it! The point is not for us to agree — it’s for us to make our own choices, and that’s what you have done. Even if I don’t agree with you, I applaud you for making the choices that are right for you — because that’s what being an informed patient is all about.

PPS: my condolences to the loved ones of those who died from the flu shot. for you, this is a moot point, and for you, your evidence says otherwise. I understand that because I see it in so many other aspects of our dysfunctional healthcare system. there is nothing I can say here to make your sorrows go away and for that I am truly sorry.
