In my opinion, the FSHOD crewe is way ahead of the curve when it comes to disclosure. 9/11 is old hat compared to what we went through with hurricane manipulations that will take a couple more seasons in the sun before the centre moves our way. One of the things I like the most about our group is its' "discernment". You have never failed me when it comes to glowering a jaundiced eye on every frontal attack that has been made. Someone is always there to question a post, a link, a comment, or another poster's motives or identity. This makes it all very interesting as there can be no moving forward if "this dog won't hunt'.

One of my over-long posts brings me to an issue I think we should look at. (Besides the fact that the comments page is too long for dialups!) The overlong piece that I'm speaking about quotes Richard Hoagland's investigation into a heated up solar system as being the reason for our flyboy heroes in the sky:

"Richard C. Hoagland, among others, has been advocating such an energy transference between our universe and (for lack of a better term) a ”sister universe” for some years now. He has been all too aware of the significant changes happening with our sun and all the planets in our solar system. His latest paper discussing this phenomenon, (which he calls ”hyper-dimensional”) is ”Interplanetary Day After Tomorrow?” available to read at this URL: http://www.enterprisemission.com/_articles/05-14-2004/Interplanetary_1.htm

Mr. Hoagland has a brilliant and highly imaginative mind. He is also a maverick. Because some of his methods are unorthodox and his insight unsettling, much of the scientific establishment tends to dismiss his ideas. The irony is, years after they dismiss his observations they often are found rushing to publish papers in peer publications exactly echoing what he often first pointed out to them. Such is the history of the established norm versus the insightful innovators."

The writer (anonymous) goes on to say that Mr. Hoagland and his insight into solar system warming is why we need chemtrails. I don't recall anything on RCH's board that would indicate he had a position on chemtrails. Regardless, I think that we should discuss and explore this issue in-depth, especially considering that the IDAT article is a couple of years old. And I also think that this article posted in the comments recently about the urgent warning of imminent cataclysm in Northwestern United States is definitely a related issue cause to devote some time and human energy to finding the truth.

Any comments?

Lost In Space

318 comments - Click for Blog

The other day I saw an amusing parody of the Bush bumper-sticker, the one with the US flag with the 'W' super-imposed on it...except this one had WTF?. This mirrored my sentiments exactly. But considering recent events surrounding our vaunted space agency, I think we need a NASA-WTF? sticker, too!

First we're told that there will be no budget cuts. Elachi goes to a meeting of Bohemia Grove, then we're told there will be budget cuts. President Bush tells us that there needs to be more emphasis on math and science education...then we are told that NASA will be cutting many of the good science projects that are already underway, many in the science departments of universities nationwide. WTF?

The lack of accountability over time has caused NASA to be the ghost it is. My ideas, thoughts, and 2001: Space Odyssey-inspired dreams were that we would be on the moon doing stuff now. It has been nearly 40 years since we first landed (if you believe we did). We should have permanent facilities on the Moon today! WTF?

Instead, we are dumping an estimated hundreds of billions of dollars for a floating tube-steak (i.e., the ISS)...a piece of junk that is floating around in a useless orbit (chosen because of politics), that cannot be used as a jump-base, that is not even 50% completed and more than $26 BILLION over budget and almost 7 years behind schedule. The thing is falling apart; mechanical failures plague the U.S and Soviet space janitors daily. If built using Legos, it might have held together better. WTF?

(memo to self: Invent new Space Legos!)

When will the space shuttle launch next? It was supposed to be May, but new discoveries of falling tiles could indefinitely delay that. How can we ever finish our international obligations to the ISS if we cannot even get off the ground? Will this decrepit tin can ever be completed or will it be scuttled and allowed to crash-land into the ocean? WTF?

NASA must cut it's losses. The combined costs of maintaining the remaining shuttle fleet, designing & developing the next CEV, and finishing the ISS has NASA's finances at the breaking-point. Plus, we still need to maintain existing unmanned and science projects. NASA already nixed all future unmanned and science projects that are either behind schedule, over budget, or not yet on the books. This kills an estimated 40% unmanned & science workload. How can universities support their astrobiology and space research projects when NASA zips closed the purse? WTF?

And all this big hype about MRO aero-braking around Mars. This is routine stuff. Yet in a time of budget cuts, VIPs and families were invited to see 'da show' and partake of a fancy spread. This was a joke. My take? Here's the modus operandi of NASA:

"Let's make the public think that THIS is the focus of all our attention and work; by make the public think that work is vital and dangerous and valuable to the American economy and spirit of exploration...indeed, our future. Continue to Captialize on the mystique of the Space Program using and reusing images and stereotypes of past successes AND tragedies, like has been being done for 35 years, to continue to evoke emotions of pride and resolve and highlight the ability of The Program to inspire young minds. While the public eye absorbs, enjoys and develops a Pavlovian 'comfort level' whenever presented with "NASA' or "Space", a covertly overt establishment will be diligently acheiving the goals of securing the realm of space to ensure American commercial and military preeminence."

If there is to be a "new NASA", I expect to see it come from DoD. DoD's role has been growing in the recent years. More stuff is influenced by DoD than NASA
itself. DoD definitely has the technology and can do it right. Plus, with a tremendous budget, they could be the next 'space program'. This is evidenced by the new rebadging regulations being put in place at all NASA facilities: RFID embedded id/access cards, retina scans, and finger-printing.

The draw-back I can see is that DoD is owned by the Military/Industrial Complex. As such, these guys masturbate about war all the time. The PNAC-promise of Pax Americana requires dominance in Space (and Cyberspace, too!) So, what kind of space program will we end up with? A space program that can spy on every square inch (real or virtual) of earth and wage war without asking the permission of another country to use their airspace? A space program that can kick alien ass or asteroid butt? WTF?

(hmmmm...memo to self: Invent new 'Assteroid', "Hemmorrhoid Creme of the Stars")

So, are my Star Trek and 2001: Space Odyssey inspired dreams of the future....Lost in Space? If so....WTF?

What if The FACE...ain’t?

I pose this question because the act of asking it is something that frightens me far more than proving it to be right.! With this new mars probe, all of us have our collective hopes up that MRO will take some pictures of the engimatic Face on Mars and of Cydonia...and then that some rogue scientist-, explorer- or mystery-guide-wannabe somehow, somewhere strolling thru some white room or lab or computer server or whatever! and will be able to copy or reproduce just one definitive image!! We all know that whether it’s 'official' or not, it will be probably be done, that MRO will be tasked to snap a few quickies. NASA has too many people, from the scientific community down to the humble FSHOD blogger, betting on it. My guess is they will actually snap the pictures.

What the conclusion IS of those pictures will become a much more hotly debated matter. Let’s 'face' it (no pun intended) NASA can’t really win either way. If it does turn out to be an actual architectural structure they are gonna have a 'lotta splain’in to do'...or will they? Hey Photoshop does wonders for “erasing” crow’s feet from my face in pictures, why not on an ARTIFICIAL structure? A smudge here, a warp there, and VOILA! You have Mount Pile of Rocks! “See, all this time it was just a bunch of dips and valleys and, oh never mind that lake there, and peaks and see…just a plain old pile of nothing folks...”

But what if they ARE telling the truth?

What if it turns out to be a pile of rocks?

A pile of rocks that happen to have sacred geometric features...but none the less, a pile of rubble, a result of eons of comets smashing into its poor, red, airless surface?

Does it make us foolish for believing? Or brave, for dreaming.

Until we have independent human corroboration, by actually having a manned landing on the planet, I am afraid we will all go to our graves wondering how this little mystery in life will turn out. A picture just ain't gonna do it!

Frankly, I really don’t WANT to know because half the fun has been the speculation. By not knowing I have been entertained, cerebrally expanded, and most importantly, introduced to better human beings than I would have ever known otherwise. Life would just be too damn boring.

That having been said:

I do believe that they will finally have to come out and admit to some sort of “life” out there. Of course it will all be of the microbial sort, too small to make people fear of little green (gray) (wo)men, but none the less it will be “life”. I’m sure to go to the grave with that “mystery’ solved.

But I believe that Mars, in my lifetime, will forever remain an enigma...and that’s fine by me.

A Temporary Post

This is just a temp post.

We have built up about 755 comments from the current blog and that has to be causing somebody some page loading grief. However, wifey is beating me about the head to get shaved, showered and dressed to go shopping for wicker furniture for the lanai and to go visit the zoo. So writing a new post will have to wait until this evening.

But perhaps I'll get inspiration for a new post, meandering through the zoo, seeing the sights, smelling the smells, watching the antics in the 'monkey' house and the 'spider' cage?

I am thinking about writing on the causes and effects of the NASA budget cuts. Within the last two blogs, there are some clues to be had. And some please the avid conspiracy theorist demanding disclosure.

Have a good Saturday...or Sunday for those on the 'other side of the Pacific'. LOL!
