OF THE
TIMES
History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people.
"The media really are the problem." And a very powerful problem. But mistrust is on the rise.
This is so ridiculous it could actually be true. :O
"this move would be sure to drive up tensions with Washington" I guess it wouldn't occur to anyone that perhaps China doesn't really give a damn...
The job cuts โ targeted members of Google's "core" team, which works on the "technical foundation behind the company's flagship products" as well...
Just image what the US economy could be like if all those hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars sent overseas to fund the never ending US wars,...

This means to me that they are preparing to "unblack" the old "supersoldier" programs that have been going on for years.
The most credible whistle blower about those programs has been Duncan O'Finioan with his close friend Miranda Kelly.
Michael Prince (who used to go by James Casbolt) also has a lot of fantastic stories to tell along these lines.
And now we can add Bill Brockbrader to the list.
But the theory behind how "higher abilities" work is really screwed up.
The body can do things reactively - without "thinking" - to avoid danger, etc., and this is the traditional subconscious. It is a fast system that bypasses "conscious" - or analytical - thought.
But that is all achieved through programming.
There is a whole other basis for such actions, and it could probably better be characterized as "superconscious."
The difference is that it is not performed by the body on a bypass of the analyzer, but instead by the being bypassing its own analyzer.
It works to the degree that a being can bring its attention into present time. As the being becomes more and more aware of present time, it will discover all sorts of abilities to perceive things that are going on in the environment that we normally don't notice. When the being can go exterior, this means it suddenly has a very good 360-degree awareness of surroundings, with a radius roughly proportional to the amount of free attention it can muster up.
This includes sights, sounds, smells, magnetic and electronic phenomena, and of course an awareness of what is going on in the minds of other beings in the area.
Of course this would be of benefit to a soldier!
But there is every reason to believe that traditional fighting groups (the Samurai are probably the best known) knew about these abilities and sought to cultivate them. Their failure in this regard is one reason that warfare has descended into the materialistic and degraded activity that we see today.
The point is: Such abilities would benefit anybody! So why let the ONR have all the fun? Hubbard wrote about all this stuff in the 1950s. And the Navy, at that time, tried to get him to work for them instead of the public. He refused. So now the basic technologies for developing these abilities are available to anyone who reaches for them. I am sure the ONR and a bunch of other groups have been using his work for all these years. It is actually evident in the material that has been released by people like Prince and Brockbrader.
That's why I find this announcement a bit insincere. Who are they trying to fool?
You, too, can develop "spidey sense." The technology has been on our bookshelves for about 60 years now.
This reminds me of an article that I read that said scientists were trying to figure out what makes a cat purr.
They were unable to find out as every time the "testing" took place the cat stopped purri
