MJ-12: ANOTHER SHADE OF GREY

MJ-12

MJ-12: ANOTHER SHADE OF GREY

I have been obsessed with the recent news of the data dumps and intelligence documents with regard to our relationship with the UFO and the ongoing relationship with extra-terrestrial biological entities.
Each and every document that you read seems to have a jumping off point where you leap into defining other activities and soon you find that there are more avenues to travel through and more documents that if the accounts are true illustrate many valid reasons why the government has not granted to the people of the United states full disclosure about the UFO or extra-terrestrial question.
One document that NASA has kept under wraps, seldom has seen the light of day and really doesn’t get much fanfare is the R-277 document that serves as a chronological history of the moon.
The document has recorded changes in the moon’s appearance, anomalous lights, ande even the appearance of shelters or what appear to be settlements on the moon. Most of these anomalies were recorded in 1956 and had many scientists worried that there was a colony of aliens on the moon that were ready to invade.
If you read through the R-277 document you will find all kinds of interesting entries that make you really question just what goes on in outer space and whether or not there is indeed an intelligence apparatus that is constantly making the rounds and appearing in the skies.
It is also interesting to note that some of the data dumps and intel findings go into great detail about what is called the “the true exobiological crisis.”
In the 1960’s there was a plan devised by the U.S. Government to have in place a conspiracy of denial with regards to the possibility that a new space program would discover the possibility of life elsewhere in the universe. This plan, provided by the Brookings Institute, was completed in December of 1960 and pointed out the very real fear of social disintegration if humanity discovered in its cosmic sojourn proof of extra-terrestrial life.
The Brookings Report was very clear when it suggested that “anthropological files contain many examples of societies sure of their place in the universe which have disintegrated when they had to associate with previously unfamiliar societies espousing different societies in different ways.”
Needless to say the guardians of intelligence suggested that if the U.S. space program found evidence of alien life or technology that it would be advisable to withhold that information.
People who demand disclosure say that they are ready for the truth and that the civilizations of earth already know or have faith that there is life in space and depending on what stories you have heard the relationship between mankind and the exobiological entities should be a beneficial one.
Before we begin discussions of disclosure perhaps we should reconsider some documents and programs that have always been part of UFO studies and have been controversial and event termed hoaxes by some researchers.
Some of the most controversial documents are the MJ-12 or MAJESTIC-12 documents which allegedly shed some light on the real agenda of the extra terrestrial beings that were first recognized and brought forward in relatively contemporary history with result of the Roswell Crash in 1947.
MAJESTIC-12 was a secret committee allegedly formed to develop government policy on alien life. There were many committees that followed afterwards, however MAJESTIC had documented that the aliens were hostile and were most definitely a threat to the planet.
The Top Secret Operation MAJESTIC-12 was established by order of President Harry S. Truman in 1947. Operation MAJESTIC-12, was created to take charge of the technical, sociological and other aspects of the crashed UFOs and the small alien occupants, dead or alive, that were recovered. In later years this operation evolved into and became known as MAJI (the Majority Agency for Joint Intelligence).
MAJI is the most secret of all intelligence groups and out-ranks all other intelligence agencies including the National Security Agency (NSA) and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). MAJI is responsible directly and “only” to the President of the United States.
Within the report to Truman was an awful secret about the aliens they were using humans and animals for a source of glandular secretions, enzymes, hormonal secretions, blood and in horrible genetic experiments. There was also speculation that the aliens used human blood for nutritive value.
The other secret is that both Truman and late President Dwight D. Eisenhower had made deals or pacts with these beings that they could secretly experiment and abduct humans in exchange for highly advanced technologies that were later used in the military-industrial complex.
When a person reads over the accounts of some “intelligent or advanced” encounters throughout history, you begin to see patterns emerge. The patterns do not paint these intelligent or advanced beings in a good light. The reason is that these entities impart knowledge to mankind in most cases and for some reason that knowledge is used for a “militant” advantage.
It has been recorded throughout history that any paranormal reports of “contact” with gods or advanced beings have somehow coincided with the advent of war, genocide and conflict. Arguably, we can say that this has been the human condition for the last 6,000 years.
In the spring of 2010 while appearing in a Discovery Channel documentary, British astrophysicist Stephen Hawking said that communicating with aliens could be a threat to Earth. Hawking said it is likely that alien life exists, but a visit from extraterrestrials might be similar to Christopher Columbus’ arrival in the Americas.
If aliens visit us, the outcome would be much as when Columbus landed in America, which didn’t turn out well for the Native Americans,” he said. “We only have to look at ourselves to see how intelligent life might develop into something we wouldn’t want to meet. —Stephen Hawking.
We need to remember that when Columbus arrived he brought with him new diseases that the native inhabitants had no immunity to. This resulted in many deaths of those he and his crew came in contact with.
When most spokespeople talk about alien contact and the resulting human abductions that we heard about from Benny and Barney hill in the 1960’s until now, there really is no real talk about how the aliens are not sanitary or clean. In fact according to secret documentation we find that most aliens are toxic to human forms.
In 1952 it was alleged that President elect Eisenhower received an eight page document which introduced him to an organization known as Majestic-12. Harry S. Truman allegedly created this shadowy organization in 1947 to investigate reports that strange aircraft had fallen out of the skies in New Mexico.
It was MJ-12’s charge to isolate, contain and utilize possible extra terrestrial technologies. They were also entrusted to investigate and record the purpose and mission of extra terrestrial biological entities.
There is a piece within these documents known as field order 862 which orders personnel to go to New Mexico to investigate the reports of numerous crashes in early July of 1947.
This order was issued by Truman’s office of the Assistant chief of Staff and directs a group called the Interplanetary Phenomenon Unit or IPU. They returned a seven page report to the President called “Extraordinary recovery of fallen objects in New Mexico.”
There is a portion in particular that caught my eye when I first read the blurry type of the alleged documents. It was the account of the contamination and subsequent deaths of several personnel after coming in contact with the debris and the extra-terrestrial biological entities that were supposedly inside the wreckage.
One of the technicians was overcome and collapsed when he attempted to remove the bodies from the twisted wreckage. Another medical technician allegedly went into a coma four hours after placing the awfully damaged body of an alien into a rubber body bag for autopsy.
All four of the technicians eventually died of seizures and profuse bleeding. The technicians were all wearing protective suits when they came in contact with the fluids of the occupants.
Directly after these events biological warfare programs were stepped up and new ways to kill humans were readied with new viruses and bacteria agents that were synthesized.
The question is, did the government take samples of the fluids they found on these alleged aliens and create new strains of retroviruses that are not fully understood by science in order to wipe out an enemy?
Did the shadow groups deliver information about alien technologies and did they exploit them?
Are these new strains of viruses that appear out of nowhere the result of extra-terrestrial contact?
Combining all of the alleged stories of contact, reverse engineering, new technology, and bio warfare we begin to see a deadly pattern in all of the chaotic “truth” that exists in the alternative media.
The truth may be more frightening than we realize.
Many talk shows about aliens focus in the back engineering or reverse engineering of alien technology, but wouldn’t it be obvious that the warlords would find it beneficial to back engineer alien bacteria or even diseases to be used in biological warfare?
Could we be seeing the results of this back engineering and forced multiplying of possible alien pathogens today?
Maybe so, and maybe not however if we can go back in time some forty of fifty years one of the most horrifying phenomena that has been tied to alien visitation is “cattle or animal mutilations.”
If a cow can be butchered with no leads as to who is responsible imagine what could happen if a herd that is destined for slaughter is somehow infected with a contaminant or disease. What if that disease thinks and incubates and goes undetected.
The unavoidable truth is that Cattle are hosts to all kinds of microbes and sickness. They are hosts to all kinds of contaminants. These contaminants can remain in digestive systems in these animals for long periods of time without making the animals sick. We are seeing diseases spring up everywhere and the threat of bio attack looms over us with the fear that terrorists will use anthrax and other diseases to wipe out the American population.
In 1979, a declassified review claimed that the United States intensified its development of ethnic weapons designed to selectively target and eliminate specific ethnic groups who are susceptible due to genetic differences and variations in DNA. These weapons were classified under Project Code named MK-NAOMI which specifically was a plan to store materials that could either incapacitate or kill a test subject and to develop devices to use for the diffusion of such materials over widely populated areas. Much of the details of the operation and how the materials were dispersed is scarce. However, new programs replacing MK-NAOMI through the U.S. Army’s Special Operations Command gave evidence of at least three covert techniques for attacking and poisoning crops and animal products that have been examined under field conditions.
After the experimental spraying, evidence suggests that under MK-NAOMI, CIA funded scientists were called in to use special surgical devices, standard blood coagulants, cryogenic technology, and microwave equipment, to use on “infected” farm animals. Reports surfaced about so called “Cattle Mutilations” where bovine test subjects are found with surgically removed ears, lips, tongues, mammary glands, genitalia, anuses, and blood. The carcasses were air-dropped into fields out of black helicopters.
However the Mysterious circumstances surrounding the mutilations were then misconstrued by the media. The government-spread rumors that the mutilations were of “extra-terrestrial” origin or attributed to “satanic cults” or “coyotes and other natural predators.”
If predatory animals can uniformly select body parts, mainly the ones used in reproduction and excretion, and then remove all the blood from the carcass leaving the remaining good meat to rot what we are seeing is a meticulous animal doing the killings.
The extra-terrestrial element would also be compelling because of various species of alien needing to know if they have contaminated the planet with their arrival. Literally checking up on the progression of diseases and radioactive effects on cows. Cows are like the canaries in the biological Coalmine.
They are capable of incubating and even keeping in their tissues evidences of bacterial infections, radioactive isotopes, hormones, and other diseases that we think we have eradicated.
The alien human or military alien collusion on such matters along with chemical and Pharmaceutical companies providing vaccines that use Bovine byproducts should have us ponder the mysteries and using circumstantial evidence to create solid hypothesis.
It is known that “second creation” creatures like Bovine tend to hold virulent strains of influenza and contaminants of all kinds in their bodies. These contaminants can remain in the digestive systems of these animals for long periods of time without making the animals sick. Bovine have been known to carry Yersinia pseudotuberculosis and Yersinia pestis along with brucella. Cows now carry new and deadly prions called Bovine spongiform encephalopathy. This is commonly known as mad cow disease. The blood of cattle can be used to force multiply a biological component creating a more lethal biological force multiplier and then use humans or small animals as carriers. Bovine blood has been used in the past as a force multiplier for the advanced bio-weapon Brucellosis.
Using refined methods of Zoonosis and genetic modifying, diseases were synthesized and force modified into strains that were available but still illegal to be used on humans. Modifications on strains of Brucellosis using cattle were made in order to spread it to enemy troops but would not pass into other populations. These are known as “smart virulents” the newly modified Brucellosis would cause undulant fever in humans. It was a quiet weapon that possessed interesting traits.
The modifying of the disease created a disabling bacterium that disappeared after the infection. Troops could be infected yet exhibited no signs of the bacteria when examined by a doctor. Bio- engineers created a stealthy weapon. They extracted the active agent of Brucellosis from the Brucellosis bacteria. Although the active agent, the mycoplasma is still there, the bacteria have been discarded, and your blood tests will be negative even though you are infected with the brucellosis mycoplasma.
This newly modified Brucellosis was tested in several locations. In the summer of 1984, it was tested at Tahoe-Truckee High School in California. The teachers’ lounge was the target area. Seven of the eight teachers assigned to the room became very ill within months. There were other undisclosed locations where the pathogen was tested using an airborne aerosolized delivery system and contaminated mosquitoes.
Many people began suffering from general debilitation and tiredness. When it became known that the contagion was spreading into the general population, top officials with the National Institute of Health and Center for Disease Control, as well as the Defense Department and the Department of Health and Human Resources, began a program of misrepresentation of the disease to mask their role in its origin. The illness was claimed to be connected to the Epstein-Barr virus and was labeled “Chronic Mononucleosis.”
This has now become known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. In the beginning this disorder was classified as a psychological disorder.
Could we be seeing some emerging diseases as possible back engineered bio weapons that have been accidentally released to the public to see what effect it has on the populace?
What do we know about diseases like Morgellons, or Fibromyalgia? How do we explain an increase in Autism or even various mental instabilities that have no explanation? What if alien organisms may have reached Earth among debris from falling comets and was consumed by cattle which resulted in diseases such as mad cow disease and other new and emerging diseases we hear about?
Back in 2008 an experiment was conducted on STS-123. The experiment was to test the reaction f terrestrial bacteria to zero gravity. When compared with test bacteria bred here on Earth, previous studies suggest that germs bred in space are far more potent and are more likely to cause illness to people in space.
It seems that diseases in space M=mutate quicker than here on earth. Mutation is the difference between a bacteria being harmless to becoming deadly. Mutations help bacteria to survive and as an example, they can become antibiotic resistant.
Always remember that most of this “scientific” fact about diseases from space are already horrifically detailed in documents provided in the 1950s that some researchers claim were considered hoaxes.

Are we living in a HOLOGRAM? Physicists believe our universe could just be a projection of another cosmos

Posted by George Freund on February 6, 2015
A growing black hole
The holographic model suggests gravity in the universe comes from thin, vibrating strings. These strings are holograms of events that take place in a simpler, flatter cosmos

  • Holographic principle claims gravity comes from thin, vibrating strings
  • These strings are holograms of events that take place in a flatter cosmos
  • According to this theory, everything we experience can be described as events that take place in this flatter location
  • This is the first time the validity of the model has been mathematically tested
The universe is a hologram and everything you can see - including this article and the device you are reading it on - is a mere projection. 

This is according to a controversial model proposed in 1997 by theoretical physicist Juan Maldacena.

Until now the bizarre theory had never been tested, but recent mathematical models suggest that the mind-boggling principle could be true.

According to the theory, gravity in the universe comes from thin, vibrating strings. These strings are holograms of events that take place in a simpler, flatter cosmos.

Professor Maldacena's model suggests that the universe exists in nine dimensions of space and one of time.
Now Japanese researchers have attempted to tackle this problem by providing mathematical evidence that the holographic principle might be correct, according to a report in Nature.

THE HOLOGRAPHIC PRINCIPLE

The holographic principle claims gravity in the universe comes from thin, vibrating strings. 

These strings are holograms of events that take place in a simpler, flatter cosmos.

The principle suggests that, like the security chip on your credit card, there is a two-dimensional surface that contains all the information needed to describe a three-dimensional object - which in this case is our universe.

In essence, the theory claims that data containing a description of a volume of space - such as a human or a comet - could be hidden in a region of this flattened, 'real' version of the universe.

In a black hole, for instance, all the objects that ever fall into it would be entirely contained in surface fluctuations, almost like a piece of computer memory on contained in a chip.

In a larger sense, the theory suggests that the entire universe can be seen as a 'two-dimensional structure projected onto a cosmological horizon' - or in simpler terms, a projection.

If we could understand the laws that govern physics on that distant surface, the principle suggests we would grasp all there is to know about reality. 

The holographic principle suggests that, like the security chip on your credit card, there is a two-dimensional surface that contains all the information needed to describe a three-dimensional object - which in this case is our universe. 

In essence, the principle claims that data containing a description of a volume of space - such as a human or a comet - could be hidden in a region of this flattened, 'real' version of the universe.

In a black hole, for instance, all the objects that ever fall into it would be entirely contained in surface fluctuations.

This means that the objects would be stored almost as 'memory' or fragment of data rather than a physical object in existence.


In a larger sense, the theory suggests that the entire universe can be seen as a 'two-dimensional structure projected onto a cosmological horizon' - or in simpler terms, the universe we believe we inhabit is a 3D projection of a 2D alternate universe.

In a paper posted on the arXiv repository, Yoshifumi Hyakutake of Ibaraki University in Japan calculated the internal energy of a black hole in an attempt provide mathematical evidence for this holographic principle.

In addition to this he explored the boundaries of a specific black hole as well as the effects of ‘virtual particles’, a type of particle that is believed to continuously pop in and out of existence. 

In a separate paper, Professor Hyakutake calculated the energy contained inside of the alternate flatter cosmos with no gravity. 

Surprisingly, the computer calculations of the theoretical universe and the black hole's boundaries matched, providing what some say is ‘compelling’ evidence of the dual nature of the universe.

Professor Maldacena has said that the numerical proof that these two seemingly disparate worlds are identical provides hope that the gravitational properties of our universe can someday be explained by quantum theory.

FOR THE SPACE BUG: DID, OR DID NOT, THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION DECIDE TO EXTEND ITS JURISDICTION TO THE MOON?

Now this one is interesting for all the space bugs (like me) out there. Indeed, so many of you sent me articles on this one that I cannot possibly thank you all. But the problem here is, no sooner had one story appeared (on Reuters), than the next day it was countered by another. As to what all this might mean for our high octane speculation proclivities, that will have to wait until after we look at the articles.  Here's the first article, run by Reutersm, and the title says it all:
Exclusive - The FAA: regulating business on the moon
Now, in case it's not clear what's happening, here, in my opinion, are the relevant paragraphs:
"The United States government has taken a new, though preliminary, step to encourage commercial development of the moon.
"According to documents obtained by Reuters, U.S. companies can stake claims to lunar territory through an existing licensing process for space launches.
"The Federal Aviation Administration, in a previously undisclosed late-December letter to Bigelow Aerospace, said the agency intends to “leverage the FAA’s existing launch licensing authority to encourage private sector investments in space systems by ensuring that commercial activities can be conducted on a non-interference basis.
"In other words, experts said, Bigelow could set up one of its proposed inflatable habitats on the moon, and expect to have exclusive rights to that territory - as well as related areas that might be tapped for mining, exploration and other activities."(Emphasis added).
Now, before we get to our high octane speculation of the day, this announcement did not come without considerable amount of tacking against the gale of criticism that they simply had to know would come from the international community. Hence, we have the following bureaucratic shuffle, two steps forward, one step back, step to the side, two steps forward (you get the idea):
"However, the FAA letter noted a concern flagged by the U.S. State Department that “the national regulatory framework, in its present form, is ill-equipped to enable the U.S. government to fulfill its obligations” under a 1967 United Nations treaty, which, in part, governs activities on the moon.
"The United Nations Outer Space treaty, in part, requires countries to authorize and supervise activities of non-government entities that are operating in space, including the moon. It also bans nuclear weapons in space, prohibits national claims to celestial bodies and stipulates that space exploration and development should benefit all countries.
“"We didn’t give (Bigelow Aerospace) a license to land on the moon."
("No, of course we didn't, silly. We're just sort of kicking ideas around with them.")
"We’re talking about a payload review that would potentially be part of a future launch license request. But it served a purpose of documenting a serious proposal for a U.S. company to engage in this activity that has high-level policy implications,” said the FAA letter’s author, George Nield, associate administrator for the FAA’s Office of Commercial Transportation."(Emphasis added)
("See? It's all just theoretical at this juncture. We're talking about a future license request. Just kicking ideas around" {Insert unctuous bureaucratic sweaty smile here.})
So, not to be outdone, a professor of space law at the University of Mississippi, Joanne Gabrynowicz, , had to be brought in to clarify the matter further, and in one version of the story out there, she even received her very own article:
Is the US Leasing Out the Moon to Corporations? We Asked a Space Lawyer
In this version of the waltz, the "we're just kicking things around for ...well... kicks" is given a new twist, the "we need to start talking about it now because we have some companies that might actually be able to pull it off":
“I’ve been in the space law business for 30 years,” Gabrynowicz told me. “What we have now, for the first time, are companies that have credible leadership teams who have good track records in other businesses. We have some real credible contenders for the first time.”
And because of this, "we're just trying to initiate the discussion part of the process" meme:
"According to Joanne Gabrynowicz, a prominent space lawyer and professor emerita at the University of Mississippi, the FAA is not making some kind of impulsive, extraterrestrial land grab, but rather initiating a discussion about the inevitability of commercial development beyond Earth.
“'It sounds like they are catalyzing a conversation, because right now, there are so many unanswered questions for a company going on the Moon,' Gabrynowicz told me over the phone."
Relax, go back to sleep, Watch SeeBS, Faux news. See. Hear. Obey.
Except I strongly suspect (as you might have guessed), that this wasn't going on at all, and that the backpedaling on this one is so fierce precisely because the FAA did make a grab for space jurisdiction, before being slapped down by the Department of State, for according to the original article we have this problem, and this requires some reading between the lines:
"However, the FAA letter noted a concern flagged by the U.S. State Department that “the national regulatory framework, in its present form, is ill-equipped to enable the U.S. government to fulfill its obligations” under a 1967 United Nations treaty, which, in part, governs activities on the moon".(Emphasis added)
Translation: We have no visible public space program to speak of, and no publicly visible means of protecting any American commercial enterprises that may set up shop on the Moon, so we have "no national regulatory framework" at present. (Translation: No one knows which Federal Agency will or should have this jurisdiction.) In other words, the FAA is just making an "administration-jurisdiction" grab, perhaps because it senses its growing bureaucratic obsolescence as space planes are staring them in the face. But I doubt that this is the ultimate or deepest explanation of what may be going on here.
The real problem is, as the State Department statement implies, is first of all the lack of any public capability to provide a "regulatory framework." Commercial enterprises, particularly those in space, would require protection, as I've suggested here over and over. Indeed, the mere fact that so much international financial clearing is space-based means that military protection of those assets is an inevitability, and this, like it or not, means the eventual weaponization of outer space, if indeed it has not already happened covertly. To think otherwise is simply a form of understandable sentiment, but ultimately, an irrationality. So let us go deeper: there has been, as most readers here are familiar, a flurry of stories in the last year, about space: new space drives and new propulsion systems, cold fusion, small "truck sized" fusion reactors, and so on. There have also been spectacular failures of private-corporate space systems. Probing deeper, one finds scattered all over the USA once-military facilities that have been converted into "space-ports."  And there are those curious stories about hidden technologies and, indeed, hidden space "fleets." Even the Russians, you'll recall, got involved last year in a bit of curious language, by referring to their space ships and not their space capsules.
My suspicion here is thus rather different than Professor Gabrynowicz's, namely, that the grant of such licenses is not being withheld because "the national regulatory framework, in its present form, is ill-equipped to enable the US Government to fulfill its obligations," but rather, that such a license cannot be granted yet because the real problem is how to reveal those possible hidden space capabilities, or, alternatively, how to keep them secret from corporate prying eyes. In the meantime, the FAA, which most likely does not have any awareness whatsoever about the possible existence of such secret space(and military) capabilities, has been told to shut up and keep quiet, and if anyone asks, tell them "We were just trying to initiate a discussion."

THE TRANSHUMANIST SCRAPBOOK: INVISIBILITY CLOAK ONE STEP FURTHER WITH NEGATIVE REFRACTION

While we're on the subject of three-d printing and "teleportation"(see yesterday's blog), we might as well talk about another thing that it is enabling to take one step closer to reality: invisibility through meta-materials engineering. This one is near and dear to my heart, because way back in my very first book, The Giza Death Star, I speculated on the possibility that special kinds of crystals could be grown, perhaps through the use of nanotechnology, which would effectively trap light inside the crystal, through a special kind of negative refraction, imagining a whole series of "dark crystals" - dark rubies, dark garnets, dark sapphires, and so on - that were brighter on the inside than they were on the outside, so to speak. And in the Giza Death Star Destroyed, in spent some time with the Bablyonian Enuma Elish epic, and Marduk's "invisibility" cloak.
It should come as no surprise that materials engineers and technicians are now entertaining very similar ideas:
Harry Potter-style invisibility cloak is a step closer to reality: 3D printed device that bends light could make objects disappear
"These objects are put together in precise geometrical patterns to bend waves of energy in unnatural ways.
"In particular, they reveal a property called 'negative refraction', meaning they can bend a wave backwards.
Thus far the problem with negative refraction is the weakening of the wave of light so refracted:
"But metamaterials with this negative refraction have presented a vexing physics problem: They reduce the strength of the wave.
"'One of the biggest problems with metamaterials is that they produce energy loss,' Professor Xin said.
"'The waves decay as they pass through the artificial material. We have designed a metamaterial that retains negative refraction but does not diminish energy.'
"In fact, the synthetic material not only prevented energy loss - it caused energy gain, with the microwave intensifying in strength as it passed through the material.
"Professor Xin achieved this by embedding battery-powered tunnel diodes – which is a type of semiconductor device - and into the new material.
"'Many people did not think it was possible to achieve energy gain along with negative refraction,' Professor Xin said.
"He first showed it was possible, with one-dimensional metamaterials, in a paper published in Physical Review Letters in 2011.
"His new findings, reported in Nature Communications, have broader implications, because they involve 3D metamaterials."
What bothered me then about my speculations, bothers me even more now, with this revelation, for note that Professor Xin's technique has resulted in an energy gain of the microwave so negatively refracted. Now imagine what they've probably already thought of at the Diabolically Apocalyptic Research Projects Agency(or DARPA as it is otherwise known[and a thank you, again, to Mr. J.B. for coining that version of the agency's name and allowing us to use it here on this website): with such a technique, one could conceivable design some version of my speculated "dark crystals," as a kind of optical or cohering cavity for various wavelengths of the spectrum: invisibility, in other words, meets the maser, laser, and graser. Couple that with phase conjugation and... well... here the high octane speculation runs into all sorts of apocalyptic implications that only a Hans Kammler could appreciate.
And another super-duper-high octane speculation, while we're at it. I've long entertained the idea that perhaps the proverbial "they" were secretly scratching around the sands of the Middle East, looking for some of those lost "Tablets of Destinies", you know, the ones that the "Epic of Ninurta" indicated could not be destroyed. Perhaps they have not been found, because they might be invisible. One wouldn't know they were there, until one quite literally ran into them. And then(while we're still at it), there's all those stories of people just suddenly appearing or disappearing out of, or into, thin air. It does make one wonder...
Ok.. I've returned to Earth now.


THE TRANSHUMANIST SCRAPBOOK: GERMANS TAKE ANOTHER STEP TOWARD TELEPORTATION IN CONJUNCTION WITH 3D PRINTING

Mr. V.T. sent me this one, and if the U.K.'s The Guardian is reporting this story accurately, there's been another quiet little breakthrough on the road to real teleportation of objects via 3-d printing (or additive manufacturing as it is also known). Only this time, the breakthrough is a real "whopper doozie":
Beam me up Scotty: German scientists invent working teleporter, of sorts
"Scientists from the Hasso Plattner Institute in Potsdam have invented a real-life teleporter system that can scan in an object and “beam it” to another location.
"Not quite the dematerialisation and reconstruction of science fiction, the system relies on destructive scanning and 3D printing.
"An object at one end of the system is milled down layer-by-layer, creating a scan per layer which is then transmitted through an encrypted communication to a 3D printer. The printer then replicates the original object layer by layer, effectively teleporting an object from one place to another.
“We present a simple self-contained appliance that allows relocating inanimate physical objects across distance,” said the six person team in a paper submitted for the Tangible, Embedded and Embodied Interaction conference at Stanford University. “Users place an object into the sender unit, enter the address of a receiver unit, and press the relocate button.”
"The system dubbed “Scotty” in homage to the Enterprise’s much beleaguered chief engineer, differs from previous systems that merely copy physical object as its layer-by-layer deconstruction and encrypted transmission ensures that only one copy of the object exists at any one time, according to the scientists."(Emphases added)
While 3-d printing has been advancing by leaps and bounds, to the point that there are now even "3d scanners" that scan an object, allowing it to be replicated in a 3d printing, this new technique is another small but significant step to the "Star Trek" transported, in that, as the article indicates, the object is not scanned (a process which inevitably introduces "errors" into the copy), but actually "milled down" or taken apart layer by layer, and reassembled, layer by layer, at the receiving end. Add the ability to scan the materials composition of an object as it is being "milled down", transmit that data along with the physical dimensions of the object, and one has a simple sort of de facto transporter.
The Star Trek transporter, of course, took this to the ultimate degree, for the transported scanned an object (or person), broke it (or him or her) down to their constituent molecules, atoms, and particles, beamed these through space, and reassembled the whole thing at the other end. In other words, it was a real transporter. Milling an object down is a far cry, one is tempted to say, from that kind of capability. After all, we're nowhere near being able to scan something at that minute atom-by-atom and molecule-by-molecule level, much less, reassemble it.
Except... one would do well to recall that in Eric Drexler's now classic study of the emerging field of nanotechnology, Engines of Creation, published in 1986, he mentioned that IBM had successfully given a stunning display of the ability of engineers, even then, to engineer things on an extraordinarily small scale, by spelling out the corporate logo using a small number of xenon atoms, and that AT&T's Bell Laboratories had gone one better, by constructing humanity's first artificially created atom. It is now almost 29 years later, and one wonders just what such techniques, in conjunction with 3D printing, might have already been covertly accomplished, but if it's anything even close to being able to disassemble your favorite coffee cup and beam it to the hotel you're staying at on your vacation, then a transportation, energy, manufacturing, and financial revolution will inevitably follow.
