The Unknown History of the Amazon

The Amazon rainforest is the epitome of a last great wilderness under threat from modern man. It has become an international cause celebre for environmentalists as powerful agricultural and industrial interests bent on felling trees encroach ever deeper into virgin forest. But the latest evidence suggests that the Amazon is not what it seems.

As more trees are felled, the story of a far less natural Amazon is revealed - enormous manmade structures, even cities, hidden for centuries under what was believed to be untouched forest. All the time archaeologists are discovering ancient, highly fertile soils that can only have been produced by sophisticated agriculture far and wide across the Amazon basin. This startling evidence sheds new light on long-dismissed accounts from the very first conquistadors of an Amazon teeming with people and threatens to turn our whole notion of wilderness on its head. And if even the Amazon turns out to be unnatural, what then for the future of wilderness?

On December 26, 1541, Francisco de Orellana sailed up the newly discovered Amazon River with the Dominican Gaspar de Carvajal who chronicled the expedition.  De Caravajal wrote of vast cities with roads and highways, and yet they had all disappeard within 20 years.  The book "Relacion del Descubrimiento del Rio Grande de las Amazonas" was not rediscovered until 1895 but was considered to be primarily myth and fabrication.

The Time When the Sun Went Out

New scientific research points to the possible causes of the 'Dark Ages' which affected not only Europe, but the entire planet.

Did a cataclysmic event plunge humankind into the period known as the early Dark Ages? Scientists now believe the early Dark Ages may have triggered by a natural event that occurred around 535 A.D.

"Science writer David Keys is convinced that the cause was a phenomenon of cataclysmic proportions. At the center of a complex chain of events seems to "a loud bang" — a volcanic explosion equal to "two thousand million Hiroshima size bombs." The subsequent environmental calamity, Keys believes, affected human civilization from Mongolia to Constantinople, precipitating plague, famine, death, great migration, the fall of the Mexican city of Teotihuacán, the Anglo-Saxon victory over the Celts, and even perhaps the rise of Islam."

Journey Of Man

Journey Of Man: Genetic Odyssey (PBS Documentary)

"Where did we come from? Spencer Wells, a 33 year old population geneticist, has closed the door on his laboratory and is embarking on the biggest adventure of his life. His mission to retrace the most extraordinary journey of all time, a journey that involves every man, woman and child alive today. He offers his thoughts on this puzzling question, employing the latest in DNA research and technology to track the migration of humanity across the globe.

By collecting blood samples from thousands of men living in isolated tribes around the world and analyzing their DNA, Spencer and his colleagues discovered that all humans alive today can be traced back to a small tribe of hunter-gatherers who lived in Africa 60,000 years ago. Following this genetic trail, Spencer has charted the ancient journey of our ancestors as they populated the planet.

Spencer scours the world for indigenous people with deep roots in one place, asking for samples of DNA to test, in order to piece together our "big family" genetic tree. In Indiana Jones mode, Wells tacks down common ancestors and comes up with some surprising candidates. He shows with DNA results the diverse ways in which people and tribes react to the news of what science says about their arrival and relations. View this as adventure travel or as a painless way to begin your genetic literacy."

Doomsday Preppers

Doomsday Has Its Day in the Sun

"...the National Geographic Channel introduced “Doomsday Preppers,” a reality series about people who are stockpiling, arming and otherwise preparing for some kind of apocalypse. Last week it was the Discovery Channel’s turn. Its new “Doomsday Bunkers,” on Wednesday nights, is about Deep Earth Bunker, a company that builds underground getaways for the types of people seen in “Doomsday Preppers.”

Watch either show for a short while and, unless you’re a prepper yourself, you might be moderately amused at the absurd excess on display and at what an easy target the prepper worldview is for ridicule. Watch a bit longer, though, and amusement may give way to annoyance at how offensively anti-life these shows are, full of contempt for humankind. . . . .

But then what is the attraction of continuing to live in a world that forces people to cower in an underground box and spend all their time fending off those who want their freeze-dried apricots?

Even more seriously, what is the attraction of continuing to live in a world that will almost certainly not have television or the Internet, depriving doomsday types of the shows and Web sites that fuel their paranoia and sell products exploiting it?

[Secret] Weather Modification Programs

"Why in the World are They Spraying?"    [Full Length Documentary]

“Why in the World are They Spraying?” is an investigative documentary into one of the many agendas associated with chemtrail/geoengineering programs, also known as “weather control”.

"People around the world are noticing that our planet's weather is dramatically changing. They are also beginning to notice the long lingering trails left behind airplanes that have lead millions to accept the reality of chemtrail/geoengineering programs. Could there be a connection between the trails and our severe weather? While there are many agendas associated with these damaging programs, evidence is now abundant which proves that geoengineering can be used to control weather. In this documentary you will learn how the aerosols being sprayed into our sky are used in conjunction with other technologies to control our weather. While geoengineers maintain that their models are only for the mitigation of global warming, it is now clear that they can be used as a way to consolidate an enormous amount of both monetary and political power into the hands of a few by the leverage that weather control gives certain corporations over the Earth's natural systems. This of course, is being done at the expense of every living thing on the planet."

Geo-engineering has been going on since the 1800′s, but usage went up in the 1940s and 1950s for warfare amplification; Is it really cooling the Earth or heating it? Global dimming; Aluminum, barium, strontium in your air, water and soil (and lungs); Project Popeye during Vietnam; HAARP and chemtrails; what about the ban treaty? loopholes; we have corporatization of our weather today; who profits; why create drought? Who benefits? Monsanto & Wall Street; “weather being traded as derivatives”; every commodity is driven by weather; Problem-reaction-solution; Monsanto & Bill Gates; Agenda 21; George Soros buying up farmland for pennies on the dollar; sterilizing our soil; Monsanto’s “abiotic” seeds; disaster capitalists; power as an addiction; good people vs. sociopaths; snow and rainwater are highly toxic; changing the jet stream; shredding the ozone layer; wildfires; It’s our planet we must exercise our authority and make them stop. This film is a must, you can order it and make as many copies as you like to educate others.


"In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.

We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together."

President Dwight D. Eisenhower, January 17, 1961


From the information in this film, it becomes evident that the U.S. "Military/Industrial complex" is now running the show, and in the process destroying the entire planet, all because of their insatiable lust for money and power.

Parrots the Universe and Everything

"Douglas Adams was the best-selling British author and satirist who created The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. In this talk at UCSB recorded shortly before his death, Adams shares hilarious accounts of some of the apparently absurd lifestyles of the world's creatures, and gleans from them extraordinary perceptions about the future of humanity."
 
Having discovered this video when it was first posted on YouTube over four years ago, I have revisited it several times. And with each viewing I realize anew what a loss humanity suffered with the untimely death of Douglas Adams, of a heart attack at the age of 49. 

Official Secrecy and Deception

As a prelude to the following informative videos, I would like to explain that, during my military service in the 1950's I worked at a top secret base on the Japanese island of Hokkaido.  We were involved in gathering 'cold-war' information about the Soviet Union, which was relayed to NSA headquarters in Washington DC on a daily basis.  I was part of an organization, of thousands of individuals world-wide, whose existence was unknown by even the congress of the U.S. government.  There are many in the U.S. government who are masters of deception and concealing information from the public as revealed in the following videos.

Alien Mind . . .

Geoge LoBouno published a book in 2010 entitled "Alien Mind; the Thought and Behavior of Extraterrestrials" available on Amazon as a paperback or Kindle edtion.

" Alien Mind begins where other books usually leave off. Rather than debate whether UFO's and aliens exist,  Alien Mind quotes human witnesses and informative aliens in a startling, new exploration of the thoughts and assumptions of our extraterrestrial neighbors. Sixty-five years after Roswell, evidence suggests aliens are trying to get humans to step beyond elite greed and failed ecology in order to develop a more mature kind of cosmic citizenship. Although some content may be unsettling, this book should help to fill in some of the blanks in public knowledge about aliens. Alien Mind introduces previously unreported sources and helps readers understand how aliens think and feel about interactions with humans and other aliens. It discusses alien science and how humans can both detect and identify different types of aliens and their energy networks. "


“For the next two or three days the saucers passed over the base daily. Sometimes they appeared in groups of four, other times as many as sixteen. They could outmaneuver and outflank us seemingly at will. They moved at varying speeds—sometimes very fast, sometimes slow—and other times they would come to a dead stop as we zoomed past underneath.”
     -- Astronaut Gordon Cooper, describing his first direct encounters with UFO’s while serving as a military pilot in Germany.

“These (gray aliens) were living, breathing creatures, just as mortal as you and I. They had feelings, they had families. They had a cultural society. The one thing they didn’t have was hate, hostility. They had anger, from what I observed—and I don’t know how to explain it better than stating—it was an intellectual anger. They could not... comprehend how a species such as us, that had such great potential to do such wonderful and marvelous things, could do such horrible and nightmarish things to one another.”
     --Master Sgt. Clifford Stone, ret., who testified that he encountered “gray” aliens while working in a US Army unit that retrieved crashed extraterrestrial vehicles. 2001



Online version of 'Alien Mind' is here  - 32 chapters . [Not the usual 'UFO story' with bad grammar, atrocious spelliing and questionable syntax, but rather a lucid, well written account of intellegence from beyond our small planet and why the aliens are interested in Earth.

Heat Records Broken

Oppressive heat in the Midwest breaks records

"People struggle to find relief as even nights are hot

St. Louis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Indianapolis, and several other Midwest cities have broken heat records this week. And with even low temperatures setting records, some residents have no means of relief, day or night.

The National Weather Service said Friday that the record-breaking heat that has baked the nation’s midsection for several days was beginning to move into the mid-Atlantic states and the Northeast. But excessive-heat warnings remained in place Friday for all of Iowa, Indiana, and Illinois, as well as much of Wisconsin, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, and Kentucky.

The National Weather Service said it expected heat warnings and advisories to be continued or expanded on Saturday, with the heat largely centered over Ohio Valley and Mid-Atlantic states. ....."


Another report lists "two weeks of oven-like temperatures had taken their toll: at least 46 deaths were tied to the heat " and a friend in Romania mentioned that the heat there was so intense that the goverment has cut the number of daily work hours for employees. Here in northern Thailand we are entering the second month of intense daily heat and the normal monsoon rains seem to have evaporated before they ever arrived . . .

However, any mention of a possible link to 'global warming' seems to have become verboten and the MSM in the U.S. carefully resists even mentioning it.

 

Addendum:

Record heat, derecho storm: Does global warming get blame?

"It's complicated, but some climate scientists argue that stifling heat waves, drought and even June's derecho all come out of the global warming playbook.

At the same time, they caution against pointing to a warming climate as the direct cause of any one bit of wild weather this year, even as much of the nation sweated out a record-breaking heat wave through the start of July, one expected to break by Monday.

.....For more complex and local events, say storms or tornadoes, it's even more difficult to point to global warming as the culprit. However, even June's derecho, a series of thunderstorm downbursts that unleashed 80 mph winds that knocked out power for millions from Ohio to Virginia, has been foreseen as a consequence of global warming. Derechos don't happen very often but with heat waves more common under climate projections, they would most likely increase in frequency and severity, says forest ecologist Chris Peterson of the University of Georgia in Athens. He pointed to likely extreme weather impacts on forests in a 2000 study."

World's Smallest Fly Decapitates Ants

World's Smallest Fly Decapitates Ants

"A newly discovered species, Euryplatea nanaknihali, is the world's smallest fly, and has the rather unsavory habit of biting off the heads of ants, according to a paper in the latest issue of the Annals of the Entomological Society of America.

At just .4 millimeters in length, the fly is only a fraction of an inch in size. A house fly is 15 times bigger. A fruit fly is 5 times larger.

The new member to the insect record books is also the first of its genus to be discovered in Asia. Members of its fly family (Phoridae) are all believed to decapitate ants. The process isn't a simple bite and patooie either.

Members of the Phoridae family lay eggs in the bodies of ants. The resulting larvae feed in the ants' heads, eventually causing decapitation. Not easy being an ant! On the upside, from a "pest" control perspective, some of these phorid flies are being used to try to control fire ants in the southern United States."
