Chemtrail Proof Starting To Add Up

To me, the worrisome part of the whole Chemtrail phenomena is that the common folks - for the most part - don't even remember that the skies of today are TOTALLY different than the skies just 15 or so years ago. It also disturbs me that the TV weatherman has been reduced to a `talking head' and one that isn't even interested with what is in the sky overhead.

As those who follow me on my blog called The Heavy Stuff - I've already speculated - years ago - that the Chemtrails purpose is to modify Global Warming - to which - they seem to have succeeded - as the temperature of Earth has indeed `leveled off' for the last decade or so. And, even more impressive - this leveling off has occured as MORE Co2 has been added to the atmosphere. It is obvious to anyone not attached to dogma that the change is caused by the ONE change to our skies worldwide - Contrails or Chemtrails.

So, where's some proof - any proof - of what is being sprayed? Well, here you go - http://truthmediaproductions.blogspot.com/2010/03/what-in-world-are-they-spraying-part-ii.html & http://truthmediaproductions.blogspot.com/2010/03/what-in-world-are-they-spraying_24.html Barf Stew Tag.

Gravity Emerges from Quantum Information, Say Physicists

How about a top of the line physics read that will leave your head spinning? Are they finally  going to figure it all out? Is it all really falling into place? A few highlights from the article:

One of the hottest new ideas in physics is that gravity is an emergent phenomena; that it somehow arises from the complex interaction of simpler things.

A few month's ago, Erik Verlinde at the the University of Amsterdam put forward one such idea which has taken the world of physics by storm. Verlinde suggested that gravity is merely a manifestation of entropy in the Universe. His idea is based on the second law of thermodynamics, that entropy always increases over time. It suggests that differences in entropy between parts of the Universe generates a force that redistributes matter in a way that maximises entropy. This is the force we call gravity.....Today, this idea gets a useful boost from Jae-Weon Lee at Jungwon University in South Korea and a couple of buddies. They use the idea of quantum information to derive a theory of gravity and they do it taking a slightly different tack to Verlinde.

At the heart of their idea is the tricky question of what happens to information when it enters a black hole. Physicists have puzzled over this for decades with little consensus. But one thing they agree on is Landauer's principle: that erasing a bit of quantum information always increases the entropy of the Universe by a certain small amount and requires a specific amount of energy.
Jae-Weon and co assume that this erasure process must occur at the black hole horizon. And if so, spacetime must organise itself in a way that maximises entropy at these horizons. In other words, it generates a gravity-like force. That's intriguing for several reasons. First, Jae-Weon and co assume the existence of spacetime and its geometry and simply ask what form it must take if information is being erased at horizons in this way. It also relates gravity to quantum information for the first time....

Spoonbending Party At The Rhine Center - Do These Folks Look Like Hoaxers?

A number of years ago I had the pleasure of speaking with Sally Rhine at the Rhine Center about an anomalous event that happened to me while enjoying an evening of juggling with a buddy and his juggling friends. She recorded my event (perhaps I will tell the story here someday) and I ended up on the mailing list for the Rhine Center.

Here's the Wiki take on The Rhine Center - The Rhine Research Center Institute for Parapsychology (successor to the Parapsychology Laboratory at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, and Rhine's later laboratory, the Foundation for Research on the Nature of Man [FRNM]) is a parapsychology research unit that "aims to improve the human condition by creating a scientific understanding of those abilities and sensitivities that appear to transcend the ordinary limits of space and time." The institute is named after its founder J. B. Rhine.

The research that J.B.Rhine did and the data he collected is famous or infamous.

However, regardless of that - the institute continues and seems to be developing an interesting approach and outreach to the public and members. So, in that regard - I bring to your attention that tomorrow night, in Durham, NC. - March 26th - at 7:30 - 9:00 PM - there will be a spoonbending party - this link will tell you more (if it isn't sold out yet) - http://www.rhine.org/events.htm#PSI_Games

More pictures of the last spoonbending party -> http://www.rhine.org/spoonbending.html

So, the topic that Uri Geller made famous and infamous and discredited -- has slowly been making a seeming comeback. Somehow, events are occuring that seem to be outside of the common consensus as to what is possible. Events that describe possible ways of perceiving not generally spoken about. Because if you really think these folks at the top of this page are hoaxers, then, for sure, you are a bigger skeptic than me.

Can bending a spoon be nothing more than the belief in a limited space location that it is possible?

Today's video is a Remote Viewing lecture at Rhine.

Here's a rarity - someone giving up going into the woods to get proof of a bigfoot - as a `researcher'.

Here's a real thought provoker - The desert and the sea - This is by Michael Prescott - one of the nets real thinkers - here he talks about his observation that NDE's and such do NOT include oceans and deserts - and then he makes this observation - "If the various accounts of the afterlife were purely the product of fantasy, one might reasonably expect some of those fantasies to include the desert or the ocean. As far as I can tell, none of them do. Perhaps this argues that there is an underlying reality to these reports. This still leaves the question of why the desert and the sea have been omitted from the geography of the next world. The only tentative answer I can suggest is that both environments involve wide open spaces, and perhaps in a world consisting of consensual thought forms, it is simply not possible to have a great deal of open, essentially undeveloped space. Perhaps the natural tendency is for people's imaginative projections to fill up that space with life and activity, so that a vast expanse of sparsely vegetated land or a huge stretch of open water cannot be established, or at least cannot be maintained for long.

Let’s Teach WalMart A Lesson About Medical Marijuana - And from this link - During these periods of rapid and dizzying change – a perfect and current example being the huge shift in American attitudes toward marijuana — major corporations often reveal themselves to be big, dumb, lumbering beasts. That was exactly what WalMart, notorious for its corporate stance of social conservatism, looked like this week when it summarily sacked a cancer patient who had been “Associate of the Year” for using medical marijuana with his doctor’s recommendation – in Michigan, a state where that is perfectly legal. WalMart, so far at least, hasn’t budged. But the wave of revulsion and outrage over their treatment of Associate of the Year Joseph Casias hasn’t crested yet, and it’s going to get a lot bigger before it does. - http://newsjunkiepost.com/2010/03/13/lets-teach-walmart-a-lesson-about-medical-marijuana/?

Now, I know as an old riverboat town, that in the forgotten days of yesteryear Cincinnati was indeed known as a crazy fun place (actually it was across the river that its reputation arose from). But, now, in 2010 - using the criteria of - psychiatrists per capita, stress, eccentricity and drinking levels - once again, the Ohio city can claim to be the best in something. Craziness.

Here are some other highlights of the `study':

#2, San Francisco
Psychiatrists per capita: 1
Local Character: Samir “Sammy” Keishk spent 18 months and $12,000 working on a 2,260-pound rubber-band ball in a quest to set a Guinness world record.

#4, Milwaukee
Psychiatrists per capita: 10
Stress: 33 (tie)
Eccentricity: 29
Drinking: 1 (tie)
Colorful Character: 36-year-old Don Gorske, who lives an hour away from Milwaukee, is known as the "Big Mac Enthusiast" for having eaten over 23,000 Big Macs in his lifetime. That's two a day for 30 years.

#5, Las Vegas
Psychiatrists per capita: 55
Stress: 9
Eccentricity: 9
Drinking: 1 (tie)
Local Color: Gamblers looking to make an apt political statement should visit Las Vegas’ Main Street Station Casino, where male patrons are invited to relieve themselves on a large chunk of the Berlin Wall.

#10, New Orleans
Psychiatrists per capita: 3
Stress: 30
Eccentricity: 1
Drinking: 49 (tie)

#12, Austin
Psychiatrists per capita: 33

Eccentricity: 3
Drinking: 1 (tie)
Colorful Character: Keep Austin Weird: In 1988, Vince Hannemann began building his Cathedral of Junk, which, today, is a trashy hub packed with 60 tons of castoffs: lawnmower wheels, car bumpers, kitchen utensils, ladders, cables, bottles, circuit boards, bicycle parts, bric-a-brac, and a lot of unidentifiable junk

#13, Cleveland
Women are forbidden from wearing patent leather shoes, so that men will not see the reflections of their underwear.

#15, Memphis
Psychiatrists per capita: 40
Stress: 1
Eccentricity: 10
Drinking: 38 (tie)

A 62-foot tall can of 7-Up holds 65,000 gallons.

#47, Norfolk, VA
There are over 300 10-foot long statues of mermaids placed throughout Norfolk, and it is up to the tourists to see how many they can spot before leaving the city.

And, America's Most Sane City -

#57, Salt Lake City
Psychiatrists per capita: 36
Stress: 55
Eccentricity: 56
Drinking: 49 (tie)

Zorgy Awards, Exopolitics, UFO/Alien Disclosure, And Barf Stew - Part One

Hello, and welcome to my blog called Barf Stew - thanks for visiting today. Most likely, many of you are shaking your heads at the title of today's post  - that's okay - here's the explanation. First, the Zorgy awards are an annual public vote on several areas of a Fortean nature - such as `Top Paranormal Blog' and such - indeed, since I came across the form in time - I myself voted too. Here's a link to the results page and the sidebar that I want you to note - http://redstarfilms.blogspot.com/2010/03/2009-zorgy-awards.html .

You will note that in the sidebar on the left is an area known as the UFO Hall of Fame and the UFO Hall of Shame. And, in the shame list - two figures have been added this year 2010, bringing the total number of `shameful' players in the history of the UFO saga to 9 - including a gentleman named Alfred Webre. Who, IMO, for name recognition, probably isn't on most of your top of mind recalls. Is he?

That said, he probably is on this Hall Of Shame list for what his set of beliefs are within the Exopolitics movement - beliefs that he expresses quite well - as he is a scholarly man. I will expound to the best of my ability.

But first, why am I focusing on Alfred? Well, he took the time in the last few days to comment on my UFO Disclosure Countdown Clock blog - wanting me to separate his ideas from others in the Exopolitics movement. And, on my blog - without really digging into what I could find out about Alfred - I gave my quick, top of mind - somewhat curt - reply. https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4174828569039941516&postID=5989214114706722290

In my reply I questionned if his blogger identity was really him - only to realize that when I went to his website that it is the acronym for it- the website (that is okay, I assumed it was him in my reply). Also, he provides a link for me and all of us to consider in his UDCC reply - the link is one that I was familiar with already, and is indeed - one of the alltime classics links of Exopolitics for sure - http://www.examiner.com/x-2912-Seattle-Exopolitics-Examiner~y2010m1d3-Barack-Obama-not-disclosing-extraterrestrial-presence-is-top-ETUFO-story-of-2009 . One thing about Mr. Webre - he doesn't go halfway in his beliefs or at drawing connections - IF this link is representative of that.

Now, this was not my first exposure to Mr. Webre, and I've even blogged about him to a small degree before (http://ufodisclosurecountdownclock.blogspot.com/2009/11/web-predicts-obama-alien-disclosure-on.html ). But, I never delved into his public background; so, I then decided to see if Wikipedia might fill in my understanding of Mr. Webre - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Webre -- and, interestingly, when I did - I found things that I admired about this guy. To quote wiki "futurist, peace activist, environmental activist, and a space activist who promotes the ban of space weapons.[2][3][4][5] He was a co-architect of the Space Preservation Treaty and the Space Preservation Act that was introduced to the U.S. Congress by Congressman Dennis Kucinich and is endorsed by more than 270 NGO's worldwide.[6][7][8][5] He helped draft the Citizen Hearing in 2000 with Stephen Bassett and serves as a member of the Board of Advisors. Webre is also on the Board of Advisers at the Exopolitics Institute [7], is the congressional coordinator for The Disclosure Project [9], is a judge on the Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Tribunal [3], and is the International Director of the Institute for Cooperation in Space."

Interesting what qualifies for the Hall of Shame isn't it?

But, then again, - he does have that fictionlike link he points to in his reply on my blog.

As frankly, I believe it isn't his desire to keep space `weapons free' which puts him in the Hall Of Shame - indeed, isn't this - keeping weapons out of space if possible -  an idea normal humans could agree upon? Is this NOT a noble idea? (Could it be his connection to Kucinich that turns off some?) Well? 

Also, as Mr. Webre points out in his comment on my other blog - "Exopolitics, which my 1999 book founded is the science of relations among intelligent civilizations in the Universe." - And, IMO, he has the background to create such a document/positioning if you read his education, etc, -  or to boldly position a path of possible `understanding' that might be reasonable for a species IF (A BIG IF) it actually were a part of an intergalatic federation. And, I for one am glad someone has, in a sense, `thought this idea out'. But, that is just my opinion (and it can't be the reason to be on the HOShame, right? Even if the idea itself is a little far out, and, not much more than the science fiction that has been put forth by very skilled writers for decades).

But, it seems that the year 2000, for whatever reason,  opened up lots of new horizons to the claims of intergalatic contacts and beliefs - by many folks on the fringes of the whole UFO internet thing. And, with video cameras coming into the population at a greater percentage as the decade went on - more and more anomalous sky phenomena seem to reach the public perception and awareness - which, perhaps, pushes the envelope on `what the fringe believe' -- much like the 1950's spaceman contactees like Billy Meier (who was in the first introduction class to the HOShame). (You will find in this post that claims of Real Life - `normal consciousness' contacts with `physical extraterretrials' is the absolute no-no.)

So, how outrageous does one have to be in 2010 to get onto that HOS list? Well, lets look at the list of the Top 10 Exopolitics stories that Mr. Webre points to for our examination. (via his link above)

#10 - Nothing new here - the interuption of electronics has been ascribed to some UFO events forever. Certainly not HOS material one would hope.
#9 - Nothing new here - except a very high quality - 1950's looking UFO video that seemed to be on a TV report. Now, both #10 and this #9 are foreign reports - but - why would that be important. Could it be that highlighting `saucer shaped crafts' isn't stylish with those folks that have `moved into the V-shaped crafts' era? No HOS material IMO.
#8- NASA Oct. 9, 2009 moon bombing violated space law & could have caused conflict with lunar ET/UFO civilizations - OK, now we seem to be getting somewhere. "This story is remarkable because it vividly illustrates the dividing line between the how space law should function in our populated solar system, and the view held by the U.S. black budget space complex which feels entitled to colonize all celestial bodies in our solar system irrespective of their being inhabited and of what space law requires."



IMO, certainly almost nobody within mainstream public thought thinks that the NASA event represented this view presented by Mr. Webre - except for a very few fringe folks. IMO, the probability that NASA was doing this for scientific reasons as opposed to knowingly violating `space law' - is overwhelming IMO - but it is still just my opinion.

Still, Mr. Webre is an activist, a peace activist - therefore it certainly can be seen as within his perspective that this action was somehow `wrong' in some regard. (And if he needs to create/fallback on a `space law' for possible justification --- wweeellllllllll, there are worse things in the world.) A HOS violation? - Perhaps, at most. (And note that the black budget aspect of government/s is under pressure too. Finally, he also points out, "The U.N. Outer Space Treaty, which the U.S. has ratified, requires that ‘ The moon and other celestial bodies shall be used by all States Parties to the Treaty exclusively for peaceful purposes. The establishment of military bases, installations and fortifications, the testing of any type of weapons and the conduct of military manoeuvres on celestial bodies shall be forbidden.’ 98 nations have ratified and 125 nations have signed the U.N. Outer Space Treaty.”Frankly, Mr. Webre IS a lawyer also - pointing this out - the US violating the treaty - is just his mindset on things. Could it be that he doesn't believe in the civilizations he will claim belief in ( a belief which seems to get him in trouble) just the concepts of Exopolitics he exposes? And uses the civilaztions idea as a cover and `attention getter'. IE: Playing the internet-media for coverage thru the diversion of outrageous claims?)
#7 - ET/UFO researcher Gary McKinnon’s continued battle against extradition to the U.S. - Now, certainly - this isn't reason to be on a HOS list either I would hope - or - perhaps Mr. Webre and my politics are closer than others who are ready to condemn. Am I starting to smell politics in all this? Well, there are six more to go.
#6 - The Vatican opens a window to extraterrestrial life - Frankly, this point number six is twisted by Mr. Webre in so many ways in his commentary that it is sad. Ultimately this Vatican comment is tied to the supposed U.N. meetings about ET's; and even the Stephenville UFO incidents - it - to me - IMO - is a mishmash of BS (except for the Stephenville event). Now, I know that some HATE the propoganding of the supposed U.N. meetings and I certainly can't say that I've read any proof of such events (even thought I've read about exact dates and exact people supposedly at these events via the web) - and certainly, IF it was KNOWN to be lies (how could anyone know it was a lie, really - remember folks, I take NOTHING at face value) - then it could be reason for the HOS honor.

But, let me present another take -- we have a peace activist who believes there SHOULD be a meeting (at the U.N. or by aliens wanting to include humans in some world federation)  and thereby, by claiming one happened - `it' the `idea' gets into the noosphere of Earth. And, while delayed, potentially creates a real event - the desired outcome. I certainly don't put it past the Exopolitics folks to use the internet/belief world in such a manner to try to actualize goals. But, then again, at the end of #6 - Mr. Webre adds this "CAVEAT: If official state disclosure is to occur around specific species of extraterrestrial civilizations such as the Reptilians and the Greys that have been in secret agreements against the public interest with the U.S. government for decades, then any Vatican association with such a disclosure plan is suspect as well." OK, the Reptilians reference, and the phrase decades of association - moves most of us (folks with sane positions on all this) to the edges of belief - I admit. (But, just because multi-dimensional aliens is more popular than - permanant aliens in 2010 as an explanation - let alone aliens in cahoots with the F-ing government/s - might not be a reason for the HOS.) But, I am going to present an even more bizzare posibilitiy to end this Barf Stew post. Five to go.
#5 - U.K. Ministry of Defense closes its UFO desk after 50 years
On this point - Mr. Webre gives a long discussion - but - his early point is "The cover story – that the approximately $70,000 saved are being spent in Barack Obama’s Afghan war – is implausible" - And, as I have blogged before - this is my position too.
#4 - Norway light spiral/Moscow pyramid and Obama Nobel Prize connection? - So, much is thrown into this one - it's hard to know where to begin. First - IMO, the Norway Spiral was almost for sure a failed missile launch (98%IMO) or HAARP (2%IMO) - and 0% aliens in any manner. One would have to question ones beliefs if all ones eggs were in the Exopolitics explanation. And, could almost be a HOS list maker - but - even skeptics and rational folks have to admit - that was one hell of a coincidence.
However, the Moscow Pyramid - to me - IMO - if not a complete hoax (my feeling overall) is as strange of an event as I can envision almost. An event which begs for a far out explanation if true IMO.
#3 - Denver ET ballot initiative places next step in extraterrestrial disclosure on August 2010 vote - It is easy to understand why Mr. Webre would think this is very important. Unfortunately, the media will make any person who lives in Denver who votes for this idea look to be an idiot. I guarantee it. That said, this is further proof - to me - that Mr. Webre is really after the big picture - a slow movement in the direction he desires. And, I guess, this ballot measure is indeed that.
#2 - Time travel and teleportation are confirmed by independent whistleblowers -

BINGO
