SEED: US Scientists Work to Decipher Possible 'Alien' Signals


Scientists at the University of California-Berkeley have taken the first step in attempting to decipher signals they believe could have been sent by aliens.

New research from the university's Kepler team, a division of the Mountain View, Calif.-based Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI) project, suggests that certain radio signals picked up by the project's telescope may have been transmitted by extraterrestrials.

"These signals look similar to what we think might be produced from an extraterrestrial technology," researchers wrote on the project's website Friday.

"They are narrow in frequency, much narrower than would be produced by any known astrophysical phenomena, and they drift in frequency with time, as we would expect because of the Doppler effect imposed by the relative motion of the transmitter and the receiving radio telescope."

SEED: The Man Who Told the Internet He'd Come from the Future


What if someone from the future popped up in our timeline and started answering questions from people on internet message boards? That's exactly what John Titor did in the late 1990s. Claiming he was sent from the future on a mission to retrieve an antique computer, he talked with thousands of people online and told stories of futuristic life in 2036. Many of his tales warned of imminent disaster for the world, but he said he couldn't help.

As abruptly as he appeared, Titor vanished in 2001. Did he finish his mission? Who - or what - is behind the legend of John Titor?

The Titor Faxes and Art Bell

Titor first popped up on July 29 1998, through two faxes sent to Art Bell, host of the overnight talk show Coast to Coast AM. The faxes tell of the discovery of time travel in 2034 and devastation following the Y2K disaster. Art Bell reads the second of the two faxes on air:
"Let me explain, Mr. Bell. I sent a fax with this opening on July 29 1998. As I said then I am a time traveler. I have been on this world line since April of this year and I plan to leave soon. Typically time travelers do not purposely affect the world lines they visit. However this mission is unusually long and I've grown attached to some of the people I have met here."

SEED: Google Shoots Down One Company's Plans To Turn Street View Into A First Person Shooting Game (Video)

I guess it was only a matter of time before someone equipped Google Street View navigators with a gun. Pool Worldwide, a Dutch advertising company, did just that. The M4A1 pointed menacingly at blurry-faced people, cars and buildings. It even made shooting sound effects so you could take out unsuspecting pedestrians on your lunch break.

The website was more of a self-promotion gimmick than an attempt at making a poor man’s Call of Duty. But Google moved in quickly and disarmed the company, citing a terms of service violation and blocking the company’s access to Google Maps. Pool Worldwide, however, might just be thinking mission accomplished. The game was only up from Friday through late Monday night but peak traffic on the site saw about 3,000 visitors per minute. That’s some viral advertising.

SEED: Medical Journal Article: 14,000 U.S. Deaths Tied to Fukushima Reactor Disaster Fallout


Impact Seen As Roughly Comparable to Radiation-Related Deaths After Chernobyl; Infants Are Hardest Hit, With Continuing Research Showing Even Higher Possible Death Count.

An estimated 14,000 excess deaths in the United States are linked to the radioactive fallout from the disaster at the Fukushima nuclear reactors in Japan, according to a major new article in the December 2011 edition of the International Journal of Health Services. This is the first peer-reviewed study published in a medical journal documenting the health hazards of Fukushima.Authors Joseph Mangano and Janette Sherman note that their estimate of 14,000 excess U.S. deaths in the 14 weeks after the Fukushima meltdowns is comparable to the 16,500 excess deaths in the 17 weeks after the Chernobyl meltdown in 1986. The rise in reported deaths after Fukushima was largest among U.S. infants under age one. The 2010-2011 increase for infant deaths in the spring was 1.8 percent, compared to a decrease of 8.37 percent in the preceding 14 weeks.

The IJHS article will be published Tuesday and will be available online as of 11 a.m. EST at http://www.radiation.org . Just six days after the disastrous meltdowns struck four reactors at Fukushima on March 11, scientists detected the plume of toxic fallout had arrived over American shores. Subsequent measurements by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) found levels of radiation in air, water, and milk hundreds of times above normal across the U.S. The highest detected levels of Iodine-131 in precipitation in the U.S. were as follows (normal is about 2 picocuries I-131 per liter of water): Boise, ID (390); Kansas City (200); Salt Lake City (190); Jacksonville, FL (150); Olympia, WA (125); and Boston, MA (92).

SEED: Scientists Say Turin Shroud Is Supernatural


Italian government scientists have claimed to have discovered evidence that a supernatural event formed the image on the Turin Shroud, believed by many to be the burial cloth of Jesus Christ.

After years of work trying to replicate the coloring on the shroud, a similar image has been created by the scientists.

However, they only managed the effect by scorching equivalent linen material with high-intensity ultra violet lasers, undermining the arguments of other research, they say, which claims the Turin Shroud is a medieval hoax.

Such technology, say researchers from the National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development (Enea), was far beyond the capability of medieval forgers, whom most experts have credited with making the famous relic.

"The results show that a short and intense burst of UV directional radiation can colour a linen cloth so as reproduce many of the peculiar characteristics of the body image on the Shroud of Turin," they said.

SEED: Scientific Community Abuzz Regarding Potential Cancer Breakthrough


US researchers said Monday they have discovered how to keep tumor cells alive in a lab, generating buzz in the scientific community about a potential breakthrough that could transform cancer treatment.

Until now, scientists have been unable to make cancer cells thrive for very long, or in a condition that resembles the way they act in the body. Doctors diagnose and recommend treatment largely based on biopsied tissue that is frozen or set in wax.

The advance has sparked new hope that someday doctors may be able to test a host of cancer-killing drugs on a person’s own tumor cells in the lab, before returning to the patient with a therapy that is a proven to be a good match.

“This would really be the ultimate in personalized medicine,” said lead author Richard Schlegel, chairman of the department of pathology at Georgetown University’s Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center.

“The therapies would be exactly from their tissues. We would get normal tissue and tumor tissue from a particular patient and specifically match up their therapies,” he told AFP.

“We are really excited about the possibilities of testing we can do with this.”

SEED: Game-Changing Cold Fusion Technology Meets Election 2012. How Will The Candidates Respond?


With the 2012 United States presidential election approaching, the reality of cold fusion must be spreading through corridors of power in Washington, DC. With the US military purchasing thirteen E-Cat plants, how will politicians react to a game changing source of energy?

The election season in the United States is accelerating, and the Republican primaries are almost upon us. Before too long, the actual general election will take place, and the nation will choose its representatives, senators, and the next president. Similar scenarios will play out in other nations and their elections as well in the near future.

As usual, during the next few months politicians will make promises they do not intend to keep, flip flop on policy issues, attack each other, and do whatever it takes to get elected. Meanwhile, the ultra wealthy, elite power barons who control the mainstream media will do their best to blackout certain candidates (like Ron Paul). At the same time, they will promote other candidates that they know will abide by their wishes, and maintain the status quo -- of big government, constant warfare, fear mongering, and the printing of money from thin air by the Federal Reserve.

What is going to be so uniquely interesting about this election cycle is that a truly exotic source of clean, cheap, safe, and pollution free energy has been discovered. In fact, this game changing breakthrough is already entering the market place, with the US military being the first customer. The technology is Andrea Rossi's E-Cat (Energy Catalyzer). Already, almost a year before the first votes are cast, E-Cat modules have been purchased by the US military, and are being further researched and developed.

SEED: Google chairman says online piracy bill would 'criminalize' the Internet


An online piracy bill in the House would “criminalize linking and the fundamental structure of the Internet itself,” according to Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt.

Schmidt said the controversial Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) would punish Web firms, including search engines, that link to foreign websites dedicated to online piracy. He said implementing the bill as written would effectively break the Internet.

“By criminalizing links, what these bills do is they force you to take content off the Internet,” Schmidt said, calling it a form of censorship.

The search giant has been at the forefront of a tech industry backlash against the legislation from House Judiciary Chairman Lamar Smith (R-Texas).

"Meat Glue": The Meat Industry's Repulsive, Dirty Big Secret


This white powder sold by the kilo, is the meat industry's dirty little secret. It's called "meat glue." It makes pieces of beef, lamb, chicken or fish that would normally be thrown out stick together so closely that it looks like a solid piece of meat.

Restaurants and butchers  can now sell their scraps as premium meat. Good way to use them up – and charge premium prices for them too. Best of all, you don’t have to tell the customer. Once the glued meat is cooked, even professional butchers can’t tell the difference.

“Meat glue” is transglutaminase, an enzyme in powder form, derived from beef and pork blood plasma. See the Wikipedia description of it here. Chefs most commonly use the Activa RM brand, which is transglutaminase mixed with maltodextrine and sodium caseinate, a milk protein.  Using enzymes in food isn’t a new technique. Papaya seed is the main ingredient in meat tenderizers, for example. Rennet and yeasts produce enzymes that make cheese and alcohol, too. Natural enzymes. Meat glue is a darker product altogether.

This video has cast yet another negative shadow over an already distrusted, unappetizing industry. This product can apparently can be adapted for use with any type of meat, not just beef. In a world of bio-engineered food, is it really necessary for these companies to do this to our meat, our sustenance, and call it prime cuts, all the while lying to us.

Soylent Brown? McFeces? Scientist Converts 'Human Secretion' and 'Raw Sewage' Into Meat for Human Consumption


I ran across this video today and it completely disgusted me, almost thought it was a joke. It wasn't.

It's common knowledge that population growth along with human-driven environmental stress factors, rising costs of raw materials, labor, transportation and food, and the massive quantity food production (and inherent waste of food) will one day result in global food shortages.

Skyrocketing food prices are hitting pocketbooks worldwide. The world’s poorest countries which have the highest population bases are most at-risk as core food supplies become scarce. Worldwide grain supplies are dropping precipitously. Exporting nations are now themselves running out of grain.

The argument to be made is that food is not as abundant or cost-effective as it once was and, accordingly taking into account all of the given factors, the future of food availability is ambiguous to say the very least. Sure, many solutions have been and are currently being floated by scientists, the government, and media, but unless real, tangible action is taken sooner than later, we may have a real global problem one day.

Having said that, this scientist thinks he has a solution - feces burgers to be exact.

We live on a planet capable of feeding all of its inhabitants, but because of humanity's greed and over consumption we face a future that might include, literally, eating @!$%# (pardon my language but why beat around the bush?).

Watch this video and think about it the next time you order a burger.

Does Thermal Depolymerization Signal the End of Foreign Oil Reliance?

Thermal depolymerization (TDP) is a depolymerization process using hydrous pyrolysis for the reduction of complex organic materials (usually waste products of various sorts, often biomass and plastic) into light crude oil. It mimics the natural geological processes thought to be involved in the production of fossil fuels. Under pressure and heat, long chain polymers of hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon decompose into short-chain petroleum hydrocarbons with a maximum length of around 18 carbons.
The above is an excerpt from Wikipedia. This process caught my attention when I saw the video on YouTube. At the first glance, the process seems amazing and a potential answer to North America's reliance on foreign oil sources. After doing some independent research on the subject, I found that, like with anything new, there's a lot of opinions on this matter both positive and negative. Some opponents of the technology argue that the process isn't cost-effective enough to be the solution we're looking for with respect to Green Energy. However, it would also seem to me that, if this process is a answer to energy needs, the oil companies (and the government being pressured by industry lobbyists) would not want this technology to go mainstream because it would cut into their profits and, ultimately, destroy (or replace) the current oil industry altogether.

SEED: Incredible Mystery Surrounding Footage of 1928 Charlie Chaplin Movie 'Circus' Hollywood Premier

George Clarke, a rising Irish film maker, discovered a piece of behind the scenes footage from Charlie Chaplin's film 'The Circus'.

The footage was apparently taken in 1928 outside of Mann's Chinese Theater at the Hollywood, California, premier of Chaplin's 'Circus'. The scene shows a large woman dressed in black with a hat hiding most of her face holding [to her ear] what can only be described as a mobile phone device and talking as she walks alone.

Mr. Clarke has studied this film for over a year now and has shown it to over 100 people and at a film festival, yet no-one can give any explanation as to what the woman is question is doing.

According to Clarke, he believes that the 1928 footage is that of a time traveler talking on a mobile phone. The clip can be found in the movie's DVD box set, Disc Two, under the title 'Hollywood Premier'.

High Tech Next-Generation Muffler Cuts Toxic Emissions 97%, Improves Gas Mileage 20%

An innovative U.S. green technology company, with its main office located in Vancouver, Canada, has developed and owns the world-wide patents to, including Canada, United States, and Taiwan, a sophisticated new automotive muffler system that looks like a regular muffler, has no additional material or automobile-related installation costs, reduces vehicle emissions by an incredible 97% and remarkably, according to the inventor, improves gasoline mileage by 20%.

If society wants cleaner air and better gas mileage at a time of record highs in both respects, there's no choice then but to search out solutions and shine a spotlight on what we find.

There's absolutely no question that hot-button issues like pollution and, more specifically, the environment are major concerns that have captured major attention in recent decades and require significant, proactive next-generation solutions. Government bodies and environmental institutions all over the world are addressing these problems every day in principle and, more frequently in recent years, through legislation and international agreements.

In 1968 when John J. Mooney and Carl D. Keith invented the catalytic converter perhaps not even they could imagine that today their eco-invention would be not only standard, but also mandated in automobiles across the planet. This new muffler technology is the next logical step and the only tangible, cost-effective solution to solving the problem of pollution produced by internal combustion engines. It's also a sophisticated tool in fighting rising gas prices because this muffler will directly improve fuel mileage by 20%.

Millions of dollars have already been spent on research, development and testing, by the parent company, and the result is a 4th-generation end-user product, called the Auto Emissions Post Regulator. It’s passed rigid feasibility and effectiveness tests by government bodies and other relevant organizations in North America, costs no more to install than an industrial-era muffler, ongoing maintenance is about the same as a typical oil change, and the unit cuts toxic emissions from the internal combustion engine by 97% while increasing oxygen by several percentage points.

In Canada, numerous politicians and leaders, from Premiers to Members of Legislative Assembly and leaders of industry, have already shown significant interest in this new muffler technology as an important tool to reducing toxic emissions globally. Senior U.S. Senators' Dick Durban and Chris Dodd, both with reputations of supporting environmental initiatives, have also studied the technology and provided AD Capital U.S., Inc., the parent company, with letters of support. In 2005, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger commented that this technology and others like it must be implemented if California's smog problem is to be solved. The Governor also provided the company with a written letter reinforcing his personal interest in any type of feasible emissions-reduction technology.

Personally, this technology struck me so much that I wanted to learn more it and find out what this company is all about and what other types of technologies it might also be concocting in their coastal laboratories. Since I'm largely based in Vancouver and the company's main office is located in nearby Burnaby, Canada, I was fortunate enough to spend some time with the people that make everything tick and, frankly, what I learned was nothing less than outstanding.

The presentation of the muffler technology captivated me from the first moment and continued to make an impression as the demonstration proceeded. The exterior of the unit is the same size and has the same basic dimensions as a standard automotive muffler and it attaches to a vehicle also in an identical manner. However, its uniqueness becomes evident by its pioneering sleek body design that smoothly integrates standard architecture with a clip-on/clip-off easy-maintenance chamber that filters and stores the toxic carbon emissions. Similarly to changing your car's oil a couple times a year, a driver using this muffler technology would have its filter changed twice a year (depending on make and type of vehicle) and, since units will all be proprietorially recycled, the driver's filter-change cost could cost less than an oil change. The demonstration model used at the company's state-of-the-art facility on Canada's beautiful west coast has been modified to allow the shell itself to open so that the inside can be viewed in action.

The muffler has three separate, distinct chambers that all serve a separate function. The first reduces noise like a regular muffler, the second uses a patented purple-luminous ultra-violet laser to literally separate the toxic gases from oxygen content, and the third is the actual storage chamber that needs bi-annual maintenance.

Another astounding aspect of the AEPR technology is that it efficiently harnesses heat coming from the engine and converts it into usable energy that's used to power the muffler's filtering system. When asked if this technology will work in the winters months, especially in places that reach -40 degrees Celsius, Mr. Golic explained that as long as the engine can start the heat-energy transfer system will function properly. Apparently, the 5th-generation model of this eco-friendly muffler, currently in the final phases of pre-production development, will improve this heat-energy transfer process to allow the muffler to provide the vehicle's critical systems with emergency power if necessary.

AD Capital's President and chief decision-maker, Ady Golic, is a successful businessman with entrepreneurial experience in many countries around the world including Europe, Australia, United States and Canada. Through his many successful endeavors, Mr. Golic has gained invaluable business and marketing contacts in the United States, Indonesia and Australia. Mr. Golic brings crucial strategic planning skills and corporate direction expertise to AD Capital and, through his leadership, exemplifies a subtle guarantee that this company is going places.

Tom Tary, a former engineer for the U.S. Navy Civil Engineering Corps graduated from the British Columbia Institute of Technology in 1973. His commitment to environmental protection and energy efficiency led to his invention of the Energy Sourcing Power Supply, a patented technology useful for improving the efficiency of electrical distribution systems. Mr. Tary, a pioneering inventor that's made a habit of making history, collaborated with Mr. Golic in the invention process of the AEPR technology. He has more then 30-years of technical and innovative product development experience and possesses expertise in materials, processes, chemistry and physics. Mr. Tary is responsible for all of the R&D of AD Capital and is instrumental in developing the proprietary processes that comprise the AEPR. He spends 100% of his available work time on the affairs of the company.

In a candid conversation with Mr. Golic, he hinted at some of the additional technologies that are currently being prepared for production and open market and, in his usual compelling, very dead-pan manner, described as a patented Perpetual Battery System.

Mr. Golic quietly explained that this innovative technology utilizes two separate batteries that work in conjunction with an innovative mechanical charging system that is used to provide a constant and perpetual source of portable energy. A mobile phone, laptop, digital camera or any other portable electronic device (PED) that is equipped with this technology operates under the power of the first battery until it's drained, and then the sophisticated regulatory functions of the charging system switches the source of power seamlessly to the second battery. This proprietary process also triggers the proprietary internal generator and this is, according to Mr. Golic, the key to this patented, pioneering technology. Amazingly, this symbiotic-charging system is capable of recharging the first battery well before the second is exhausted, then once back on the power of the first battery the entire process begins in reverse, providing a virtually permanent, uninterrupted source of power. Mr. Golic stressed that, despite the amazing properties of this battery system, it is not "perpetual motion" or something that is beyond today's capabilities, but rather a new way of creating renewable energy.

Nonetheless and the battery system aside, it's my firm belief as a journalist and technology buff that this innovative company is on track to becoming an international phenom and market leader in the world-wide fight to reduce toxic emissions from automobiles. Further, and unlike a lot of green technologies that never make it to market because of proactive resistance from the establishment, this emissions reduction technology compliments existing architecture and fuel commodities and should be welcomed and embraced by today's contemporary political and industry leaders.

Lastly, not only is this technology cost-effective but it will save consumers and industry a substantial amount of money in the short and long term because it also, according to some test results, helps improves mileage by a significant 20%. Apparently, according to the inventor and some third-party field tests, the muffler's heat-exchange technology reduces engine heat significantly enough to make a difference in fuel consumption.

It also needs to be noted and, for all intents and purposes, should go without saying, that this review of technology and, more broadly speaking, the company AD Capital, has been compiled from and based on my own first-hand experiences, hours of painstaking due diligence, a review of public records and relevant patents and, most remarkably, through contact and exploratory correspondence with the company's robust legal advisory in British Columbia, Nevada and Texas. Sure this company has went through its share of ups and downs, changes in management and direction, but evolution and growing pains are common in any business, especially when it comes to emerging new technology sectors. Accordingly, AD Capital U.S., Inc., is the current official conduit, proprietor and only vendor of this amazing technology and, essentially, the rebirth of several prior incarnations that have, cumulatively speaking, paved the road for everything successful that's happening today. Today, the company has an amazing leadership at the helm, no financial encumbrances and full legal ownership of all of the technologies under its umbrella.

It should also be said that, as a professional journalist, this company and technology review has been written from a completely neutral, research-based point-of-view. Further, my only intention in writing about this important topic is because we need environmental solutions and these people can deliver the goods.

According to Mr. Golic, the company is presently negotiating and lobbying for legislation in 28 countries including Canada, US and Europe. Officials on both continents are actively testing the new mufflers on vehicles and AD Capital, using its own in-house lobbyists, is proactively pushing for legislative mandates throughout North America that support this patented technology's inevitable deployment in, at the very least, new automobiles coming off the line. Since this muffler is scalable, we might also see older cars with the technology as time passes.


The company also has a beautifully designed, superbly user-friendly and highly informative website to represent their interests on the internet. The company's flash-enabled site includes full animated and video sequences that demonstrate and thoroughly explain the technology, previous emission test results, letters of interest and, in some cases, endorsement from political leaders, the company's audited financial history and current business plan, history of previous generations of the muffler and a preview into what's next for the 5th-generation models.

Two proverbial thumbs up to this company and the technology it's developing that will undoubtedly improve life on our planet, generate new jobs around the world, and have an incredible, significant impact on consumers and industry.

If you're interested in learning more about the company first-hand or getting involved in helping bring this technology to the world, friendly representatives from AD Capital can easily be reached through their website.

Bios Metron (Biometrics): Dystopia, Martial Law & The Reality Behind It All


They say you can feel when change is in the air or read when there’s writing on the wall… Folks, the times are certainly changing and you definitely don’t need a wall to see what’s happening in these tumultuous times, times of government collusion, concocted enemies, and a mainstream media that's owned by the same people that own the governments' of the western world (not to mention they're also the same small group of affluent elitists that own, control and advocate on behalf of the World Bank, IMF and World Trade Organization). In a very real sense, even though it's undeniable that the North American Union threatens the tangible sovereignty of three separate nations, our sovereignty, both individually and nationally, is already being stolen from us regularly, for decades, behind closed doors, through secrecy and coercion, through the blood of our soldiers, and this all being perpetrated by those who ask for our trust. Agreements such as NAFTA, Smart Borders and the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America are just steps, no different than the European Union, to a much larger goal. If you haven't yet, click on my blog sidebar links under North American Union Facts to read exactly what these agreements mean not only on their own, but how they're all legally interconnected, and how they also recognize, on a continental scale, agreements including the Patriot Act, Canada's Anti-Terror Act, and the Military Commissions Act of 2006. Frankly, our leaders' want to push their new world agenda at any cost as we've seen by the blatant corruption happening daily, the countless loss of brave and innocent people around the world (militarily and collaterally) resulting from immoral decisions, preemptive wars, and humanity's bloodthirsty insatiable need for absolute power, control and ownership over the masses.

On a side note, but nonetheless important to know and understand, try and think, for just one moment, about the constant, relentless loss of lives happening on a daily basis, for so-called "warranted" reasons, and consider how many "just" wars (many of which the United States were directly or indirectly involved) have occurred, since the end of World War II, that continue to take lives. Nobody questions that Hitler butchered, probably over the estimated, six million Jews during the second World War, and in total, 55 million people were killed in the name of freedom and a false end to fascism - it was most certainly not the end, but rather it was a brand new beginning. Since 1947, or more accurately after the end of the second world war, at least that many people have been killed all over the world in the name of the things we hold closest to our hearts, such as religion, freedom, honest government, and a society in which everybody is equal under a fair justice system. On one hand, for decades our governments are starting illegal, immoral wars that continue to kill hundreds of thousands, at the very least, or millions of people each year for a Utopian ideology, or at least for the concept of a better society ahead that embraces the values that we, as humanity, hold important. On the other hand, religion has caused more wars, regardless of the faith, than any other issue hands-down, freedom is nothing but an Orwellian illusion, honest government doesn't exist anywhere on this planet, and there's no question that our society is more Dystopian than Utopian.

In previous editorials, comments and articles, I've made no secret about how I feel about the North American continental agenda, specific political goals, and some of the measures that our globalist leaders will use against society in the name of security. After my own article, on this recent event, had already been published on my blog days earlier, Reuters published an article, online and through their newswire services, about the recent Montebello leaders' summit that utterly accentuated my original article. Reuters' article was called NDP Calls for Inquiry into Montebello Security Allegations and originated from Canada's National Democratic Party's official website. Members of Canada's own Parliament are demanding answers from Stockwell Day, Canada's Minister of Public Safety, about some serious, very credible criminal allegations involving the summit leaders and surrogate organizers. Everyday more proof arises, that even the government can't fully manipulate or deny, about what's facing the three great, independent nations of North America, first and foremost, and there's undoubtedly just as much evidence to prove that this fascist agenda is being orchestrated from a global standpoint.

Biometrics has been, especially over the past 30 years, and is, now more than ever, a significant tool that's been implemented and used by the wealthiest, most affluent individuals around the world and, most certainly, this technology will be even more significant, and dangerous, in the coming decades.

The word biometrics is derived from the ancient Greek words “bios” meaning life and “metron” meaning measure. In essence and by this meaning, biometrics is the “measure of life”. Now folks, don't get me wrong but although I'm spiritual on a personal level, the goal of Disinformation Today is to convey and teach important information from a secular, fact-based perspective. Nonetheless, biometrics is a contemporary topic, to be absolutely certain, that's not only necessary for a fascist centralized world government system, but is also a topic that transcends all of the mainstream, and many smaller or mythology-based, religions in references made to the End Times of civilization. In a nutshell, most religions or, if you prefer, great minds of the past, have predicted that, in the end times, the beast or, if you prefer, those who would cause society harm by falling away from a righteous path, will enslave God's people or, if you prefer, civilization outside the global masters' themselves, and keep track of each and every person using markings or other identification systems as a means of pseudo-democratic slavery.

To be clear, in religious terms biometrics is literally the "mark of the beast" as referred to in many religious texts, from various belief systems, and in secular terms this "series of technologies" will, essentially, be considered an electronic measurement, recording, analysis, reproduction, sharing and distribution of each and every individual on the planet. Jump on the bandwagon, as the term goes, and become one with the system, or live without freedoms and rights (including basic human rights). Unquestionably, biometrics deployed in tandem with a steady, continuing perversion of human laws in the interest of globalist aspirations, will change our world society forever. Folks, there is no measure of life when you’re enslaved and forced to to get into the goose step or face consequences, perhaps, worse than death.

Let’s look at the cold hard facts that we know to be true about biometric technologies that are meant to keep us safe. When we allow our facial biometric recognition to be captured, we are then allowing, perhaps without knowing it, our individual image property to become jointly owned for the first time in history. It is not an exaggeration to say that this practice amounts to a modern-day version of the body snatchers, conceived only a few years ago as a wild science fiction fantasy. Companies that are on are the forefront of developing biometric technologies and applications, several of which have already been contracted by governments around the world, that promote the “capturing” of this personal property (at great cost to those being captured, both individually and collectively, through debt, user fees and illegal taxation) then controls that particular system for even further financial gain to themselves and the government.

In Ontario, Canada, for example, the software system currently “serving” the public interest is called “Argus” named after the mythological Greek giant known to have 100 eyes and for never going to sleep with more than two eyes closed at any one time in order to facilitate constant surveillance. Further, to be sure, this is not a just a North American problem, but rather biometrics is something that will “capture” the world.

The people in charge, headed by corrupt international bankers, megalomaniacs and petty tyrants, are attempting to deceptively steal or snatch our image and claim it as their own property. We really have to ask ourselves, who is the train and who are the tracks in this picture? Let’s examine just how this Orwellian technology might work. In a typical IT biometric system, a person registers with the system when one or more of his physical and behavioral characteristics are obtained. This information is then processed by a numerical algorithm, and entered into a database that spans the world. The algorithm creates a digital representation of the obtained biometric. If the user is new to the system, he or she enrolls, which means that the digital template of the biometric is entered into the database. Each subsequent use of the system, or re-authentication, requires the biometric of the user to be captured again, and once again processed into their digital template. Examples of physical characteristics include fingerprints, eye retinas and irises, facial patterns and hand measurements, while examples of behavioral characteristics include signature, gait and typing patterns. Voice is considered a mix of both physical and behavioral characteristics. Think about the ramifications and possibilities of this type of science, folks. In the not too distant future, all of us will be required to register our biometrics with the “database” in order to participate in society – operating a motor vehicle, employment, education, health. Driver’s licenses, birth certificates and other forms of identification will no longer be used because only biometric identification will be adequate for what's on the horizon. The days of the driver’s license are numbered, and even the rumored National I.D. card will only be a flash in the pan, and if national identification cards are deployed they will only be used to compliment biometrics until a time that no card is required whatsoever.

Now, let’s look at the determination made by the mainstream media as to why the “powers that be” want to implement this Orwellian technology on a global level. We’ve been told that biometrics will revolutionize personal security and the way the world does business. This is true in some respects, but there’s many flaws that we’re not told about by the establishment media. At the moment and until the biometric technologies are deployed on a mass level, we’re inclined to use “secure” cards (i.e. credit cards, bank cards, driver’s licenses, etc…) accompanied by personal identification numbers to keep our personal information and financial records safe. These models are usually referred to as “one-tier” or “two-tier” security features and this has been the standard for two decades. An example of a one-tier model would be a credit card that doesn’t require a PIN. If a person loses their credit card, in many cases they could gain access to it by knowing the card number and expiration date. In a two-tier model, the person might also have to know a personal security code along with the card information in order to gain access such as with a bank-issued debit card. In the case of biometrics, your unique personal identity will be used instead of cards and codes and, depending on certain factors along the way, you might also be compelled to have a microchip implanted into your body. The problem is that computer systems can be hacked, implants can be breached and, in the case of biometrics specifically, if your biometric data is stolen that could easily lead to your personal information and financial profile being compromised.

I read, not too long ago, that in China, motorists that use fingerprint identification to gain access to their vehicles have had their fingers cut off by criminals that are intent on stealing their property. The poignant truth is that biometrics will not make us safer, but this technology will allow the government to take us prisoner and keep track of every single citizen in classic Marxist-Orwellian fashion.

To appreciate the extent of the ramifications of submitting one’s face for “live capture” by an automated imaging system with a global potential for “hundreds of other applications”, is to understand why biometrics is so important to global fascism. Deception is the vehicle that the unrighteous or, rather, the “powers that be” will use to capture, in a very real sense, the very soul of each and every "good citizen". Today's governments' have refined deception beyond an art form, but rather to an exact, calculated science.

In the not too distant future, biometrics will play a significant role in the concept of "compact cities" and "martial law zones" as well as the anticipated cashless society system. Look at everything that's happening around the world, including illegal wars, new diseases, a global political landscape that holds as much, or possibly more, disdain for the U.S. than during the Cold War era, more and more rogue nations are gaining nuclear capabilities, and the leader of the free world, George W. Bush, has all but declared that no longer is there even a question, "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country", as that reasoning's been changed to "Service to the president and his corrupt, above-the-law regime takes precedence over service to your nation". But then again, Bush is no John Kennedy.

It's only logical, based on all of the given facts and evidence, that western society, as we know it today, is crumbling at an alarming rate and, if you examine the end times of the great Roman Empire or any other formerly powerful country or empire, there's alarming similarities to contemporary North America, to say the least, and in the all cases of these great cultures, the thirst for money, power and control has always led to disaster. If one more major "terrorist attack" occurs on U.S. soil, especially in Washington, D.C. and its surrounding areas, there's a good, but certainly chilling, potential for the current American administration to suspend elections, temporarily dissolve both the Congress and Senate, and even suspend the upcoming democratic elections already scheduled for November 2008. There's still 16 months folks, and I won't feel safe until Mr. Bush has left office.

If the globalist masters get their way (in the short term at least), the outcome will be a North American Union divided into two types of areas, including designated government-approved living zones and, for those who chose to live outside the system, martial law zones. The designated living areas will essentially be large zones, perhaps amalgamated super cities. Those who live in these cities will agree to biometric tracking and any related technologies, strict government control, public curfews, a cashless monetary system, coming eugenic laws, and other serious restrictions that will make people no more than drones. However, while living under complete government rule, in these super cities, you would enjoy being able to work at good jobs, eat generous amount of food rations distributed by the government, purchase items and commodities, and live more comfortably. On the other hand, in martial law zones, the land in between and outside these super cities, you may or may not be able to work, trust between individuals won't exist anymore (no more good Samaritans), people will endure hardships daily, and basic human survival and safety will fall under the NAU Population Control, Maintenance, & Eradication Act of, say, 2015.

Biometrics is a topic that I plan to write about more in the coming weeks and months, perhaps even something regular. Even though a lot has been discussed in this editorial, there's so much more that should be talked about and soon if we're to have any chance of changing the current path of humanity to something more sane.

Biometrics (Prelude)

Biometrics is a subject that, in a modern contemporary sense from the perspective of the New World Order, is and will be integral to their plans for a twisted new world society. Biometrics will allow the government, especially in the future when their agenda unfolds more significantly, to keep track of its citizens, to implement eugenic research and implementation, track our every movement, and implement a cashless society with only one social class. In no uncertain terms, these tactics alone, on the part of our leaders, give a glimpse into what's in store - unless we recognize the problems now and stand up against corruption just as previous civilizations did, so liberation, through the good fight, will simply and utterly prevail.

My next article will shed some light onto what exactly "biometrics" is and how the government will use such technology to, at the very least, measure population, control population, record individual reasoning and opinions, and let the government know each and every one of our moves as individuals. We can fight this and, if I have anything influence on the subject, we'll reverse the government's fortunes and expose them for what they're attempting to do to their own people... Absolutely shameless, unscrupulous, government actions attempt to dismiss the people's thoughts and enforce their (the New World Order) agenda at any cost.

More to come quite soon on this elaborate, compelling story. Details of the government's biometric plans will be exposed my upcoming editorial will be the beginning of a quite serious, factual series on this subject regarding our leaders unscrupulous, self-serving actions to keep themselves in power. Sickening, at the very least, but part of modern society's warped sense of reality.

Power to the people, and that I mean that from my heart and soul. The government is supposed to serve the people... That's a farce. Let's make things change. Period. I'm not a traditional conspiracy theorist, but I do believe in justice, fairness, and the difference between right and wrong.

Expert Says Domestic Power Grid Verging On Collapse, Vunerable to Attack


"Just like they told us that our bridges were safe, they also want us to swallow that our power grid is in no danger of a system-wide, no-power-for-weeks crash", said tenured power grid expert Donald McCormick, a senior contractor with Hydro One, an Ontario, Canada based electricity provider.

Mr. McCormick indicated that in reality though, there’s no question that the system of grids that supply power throughout the continent are in much worse shape than the majority of bridges, levees and borders in Canada and U.S. He has over two decades of experience in all aspects of power grid construction, infrastructure, maintenance, and distribution. During a recent interview, Mr. McCormick compared the 10 major interconnected power regions that comprise the "North American Grid", to a string of Christmas lights that’s been active non-stop since the 1950s. Mr. McCormick's qualifications include being a licensed red seal inter-provincial/interstate electrical engineer and he's worked at numerous power generating stations mainly in Canada, but also across the U.S. He's participated in building regional infrastructure related to both generation and distribution. Additionally, Mr. McCormick is Orange Level qualified as an Atomic Radiation Worker (ARW) registered in Geneva, Switzerland.

Mr. McCormick offered his candid assessment of today’s continental "power grid" by making several observations about this critical, civilization-supporting industry. His power plant experience includes both nuclear and coal, and he’s a certified expert in alternative fuel technologies such as wind, solar and hydrogen. He said that, from nuclear to coal, the majority of power generating plants operating across North America have momentous deficiencies, and the collective 10-region “power grid” has not been maintained properly (across the board) since the 1960s. Population growth has created a state in which North American power consumption is far greater than what is being yielded by current technological capacity to generate consumable energy. Mr. McCormick indicated that the infamous August 2003 blackout, in which the Northeastern U.S., Mid-Eastern U.S. and most of Ontario suffered stifling, life-interrupting blackouts, was just the beginning of something much more significant. In reference to the North American Power Grid Initiative, he said that it’s nothing more than a case of, "too little, too late".

"You’re frequently seeing substandard parts and equipment being employed, on sites across the continent, and being used for sensitive construction projects, often related to components integral to the grid system itself. North American nuclear energy generating plants are among the worst when it comes to safety violations, not only endangering on-site employees with blatant disregard but also literally thousands of people with regard to unregulated, unnoticed pollution and waste being dumped in rivers, lakes and oceans, into the atmosphere and, more specifically, our entire ecosystem," said McCormick.

Mr. McCormick strongly feels that another major breakdown of the grid system may occur by the end of this year, and he further stated that he’s also concerned that domestic power grid system is in grave danger of being undermined by terrorists.
