The Dark Side Of The Moon
by Eric Sevareid
(written in 1958)

This, thank goodness, is the first warm and balmy night of the year in these parts: the first frogs are singing. Altogether this is hardly the night for whispering sweet sentiments about the reciprocal trade act, the extension thereof. But since we are confined, by tradition, to the contemplation of public themes and issues, let us contemplate the moon. The lovely and luminous moon has become a public issue. For quite a few thousand years it was a private issue; it figured in purely bilateral negotiations between lovers, in the incantations of jungle witch doctors and Indian corn planters. Poets from attic windows issued the statements about the moon, and they made better reading than the mimeographed handouts now being issued by assistant secretaries of defense.

The moon was always measured in terms of hope and reassurance and the heart pangs of youth on such a night as this; it is now measured in terms of mileage and foot-pounds of rocket thrust. Children sent sharp, sweet wishes to the moon; now they dream of bluntnosed missiles.

There must come a time, in every generation, when those who are older secretly get off the train of progress, willing to walk back to where they came from, if they can find the way. We're afraid we're getting off now. Cheer, if you wish, the first general or Ph.D. who splatters something on the kindly face of the moon. We shall grieve for him, for ourself, for the young lovers and poets and dreamers to come, because the ancient moon will never be the same again. Therefore, we suspect, the heart of man will never be the same.

We find it very easy to wait for the first photographs of the other side of the moon, for we have not yet seen the other side of Lake Louise or the Blue Ridge peak that shows through the cabin window.

We find ourself quite undisturbed about the front page talk of "controlling the earth from the moon," because we do not believe it. If neither men nor gadgets nor both combined can control the earth from the earth, we fail to see how they will do so from the moon.

It is exciting talk, indeed, the talk of man's advance toward space. But one little step in man's advance toward man — that, we think, would be truly exciting. Let those who wish try to discover the composition of a lunar crater; we would settle for discovering the true mind of a Russian commissar or the inner heart of a delinquent child.

There is, after all, another side— a dark side — to the human spirit, too. Men have hardly begun to explore these regions; and it is going to be a very great pity if we advance upon the bright side of the moon with the dark side of ourselves, if the cargo in the first rockets to reach there consists
of fear and chauvinism and suspicion. Surely we ought to have our credentials in order, our hands very clean and perhaps a prayer for forgiveness on our lips as we prepare to open the ancient vault of the shining moon.

THE CIA AND THE Speak Project Media
By Carl Bernstein
How Americas Most Powerful News Media Worked Hand in Glove with the Central Intelligence Agency and Why the Church Committee Covered It Up

How much more can a parody be before it is explicit?

Leave the dishes.
Let the celery rot in the bottom drawer of the refrigerator
and an earthen scum harden on the kitchen floor.
Leave the black crumbs in the bottom of the toaster.
Throw the cracked bowl out and don't patch the cup.
Don't patch anything. Don't mend. Buy safety pins.
Don't even sew on a button.
Let the wind have its way, then the earth
that invades as dust and then the dead
foaming up in gray rolls underneath the couch.
Talk to them. Tell them they are welcome.
Don't keep all the pieces of the puzzles
or the doll's tiny shoes in pairs, don't worry
who uses whose toothbrush or if anything
matches, at all.
Except one word to another. Or a thought.
Pursue the authentic-decide first
what is authentic,
then go after it with all your heart.
Your heart, that place
you don't even think of cleaning out.
That closet stuffed with savage mementos.
Don't sort the paper clips from screws from saved baby teeth
or worry if we're all eating cereal for dinner
again. Don't answer the telephone, ever,
or weep over anything at all that breaks.
Pink molds will grow within those sealed cartons
in the refrigerator. Accept new forms of life
and talk to the dead
who drift in though the screened windows, who collect
patiently on the tops of food jars and books.
Recycle the mail, don't read it, don't read anything
except what destroys
the insulation between yourself and your experience
or what pulls down or what strikes at or what shatters
this ruse you call necessity.

~Louise Erdrich

Near-flawless quantum teleportation demonstrated in groundbreaking experiment Scientists have successfully conducted near-perfect quantum teleportation despite the presence of noise that typically disrupts the transfer of quantum states.

There are five kinds of spy:
The local spy, the inside spy, the reverse spy, the dead spy, and the living spy.
When the five kinds of spies are all active, no one knows their routes - this is called organizational genius, and is valuable to the leadership.

The map is never the terrain...
------------------
In his essay The Precession of the Simulacra, Baudrillard recalls a tale from a short story by Borges in which a king requests a map (i.e. a symbol) to be produced so detailed that it ends up coming into one-to-one correspondence with the territory (i.e. the real area the map is to represent); this references the philosophical concept of map–territory relation.
Baudrillard argues that in the postmodern epoch, the territory ceases to exist, and there is nothing left but the map; or indeed, the very concepts of the map and the territory have become indistinguishable, the distinction which once existed between them having been erased.

"It's shocking, and really kind of incomprehensible," said Dr Ari Friedman, an assistant professor of emergency medicine at the University of Pennsylvania"

The Real Story of MH370 - Espionage

Macroscopic Phase Conjugation - How we 'warped' MH370

I can now scientifically explain what the United States did to MH370 as seen in two videos captured by US military assets and leaked to the public. These videos are scientifically accurate and show publicly unknown weapons capabilities. It took me less than six months to understand at a rudimentary level.

"Let’s do the math together: Rapa Nui people cut down some 16 million trees on Easter Island to create some 30 boats.

How many trees need for 1 boat?

The correct answer is half a million trees per boat 🤦‍♂️

Meanwhile they created more than a thousand statues 🗿, each from geopolymer.

How do we know this? Well, Davidovits has shown us that the statues have organic material in the stone, most probably bird guano.

Now either the guano was always in the stone or somebody put it in there. Probably the bird 🦅 god pooped into the statues or who knows.

Or if it is man made, then Rapa Nui people added some guano to the wood ash + waterglass mix to modify the geopolymer’s behavior.

Now casting 1000+ statues from wood ash certainly requires cutting down all the trees and some more, as wood ash is only 1% of the log 🪵 material.

I know, I know, El Gigante is still lying in the quarry unfinished. But what if it was not a statue but a mold or something?

Aka why every ancient civilization realized they cannot lift that they chiseled out meticulously RIGTH BEFORE even trying to lift it?

Aswan and the unfinished obelisk

Baalbek, and the Pregnant Woman 🤰

Ancient people suddenly realized they have worked in vain for months when they only need 1 last hit with the hammer. And they didn’t make that last hit.

Strange, isn’t it?"

Wisdom far too valuable to ever be destroyed...hidden & controlled though is quite another matter...

Eternal are the Embers which Conflagrate the Library of History There are two forms of destruction, simple obliteration, or the more tantalizing prospect of surreptitiously capturing into one's collection, an asset which is thereafter regarded by history as having been obliterated. Especially if that asset is Nelsonian knowledge pertaining to mankind's history.....

What are coincidences for, I ask you...

You can't talk about Western medicine, and how it all really started, without talking about ONE MAN AND ONE MAN ONLY:

"So in 1872, Rockefeller bought up, shut down or bankrupt 90% of the oil companies. Our good old constitution came into place. And in 1911, the Supreme Court found Rockefeller in violation of the Sherman Antitrust act and split Standard Oil into 34 independent companies. So they said, you can't have the monopoly on this, you're done.

You think that changed who he was? No. He promised to bankrupt America.

At that very same time, they were learning how to turn petrochemicals, exactly what he had at his fingertips with the oil, into pharmaceuticals.

Now, John D. Rockefeller's biggest threat was natural health. So what does he do? Being the businessman he is, he donates money to the medical schools because he wants to control.

And what do you do when you want to control someone? You give him money.

And then he hired a guy by the name of Flexner to study the school's curriculum, to figure out what they were teaching everybody, and to persuade the government to establish allopathic medicine, which used the unnatural substances to treat diseases.

This is how western medicine was founded."
