Ok...I've seen it all now!
As some of y'all may know, I fabricated a 3D delta 'Kossel' style fused-deposition-material (FDM) printer, more or less from scratch. Actually it began as an AnyCubic 'kit' which, I couldn't cause to function properly. I couldn't even calibrate the printer, but was fun to build. And it wasn't too expensive either, and that was one of its attractors for me. But in retrospect, I would have kept hundreds of Dollars in my wallet had I bought a better quality (pricier) 3D printer. There is an unseen problem in that. Which mid-range priced 3D printer actually works? And out of the hundreds of different manufacturer's models from which to choose? There are many 3D printers out there that sort-of work, or work sometimes, or works great for a short time and then can't be calibrated...?? Or if ya bump it, its needs to be completely re-calibrated (and that can be a night-mare process)...
Many components of my "AnyCubic Linear Kossel Plus" delta 3D printer which I now refer to as the "AnyPubic Linear Crapper" has essentially been replaced. In fact the **ONLY** parts that remain from the original printer are the 20mm aluminum profiles, 3 linear-rails and the 3 stepper motors. Everything else has been replaced. It now has 6 metal vertex corners replacing the plastic corners (that flexed deforming prints), new pulleys (with ball bearings), new high-power and much more powerful controller sporting an Atmel SAM Cotex M3 SAM ARM processor as the original controller was a brain-dead 8 bit Arduino, a new more powerfull 350Watt power-supply that replaced the 75Watt power-supply...the list goes on and on.
To print a 3D object, one loads the 3D printer with its 'ink' or 'filament'. This material appears to be a thick fishing line which is rolled up onto a large spool. These 'inks' or properly, 'filament' are typically available in various types of material such as PLA, ABS, PETG, NYLON, and bunches more including metalic enfused filaments. Also, filament is available in different colors. But are general available in only two different diameters, 1.75 millimeter and 3.0 millimeter. I print using 1.75mm and so far I have only used PLA filament.
The printer pulls the filament off the roll down into the print-head, which is simply a controlled high-temperature heater. The filament is a thermo-plastic, meaning that the filament transitions from a solid to a liquid state at an engineered consistant temperature. PLA filament transitions to the liquid state at (depending on manufacturer material composition) 200ºC to 220ºC. The filament is pushed down into the print head through a channel to routes the filament into a fine hole nozzle. As the filament passes through the heater-block, it transitions to the liquid state, and metered via a motor into the nozzle which squirts the liquid plastic onto the print bed (assuming the beginning of the print).
Say one desires to print a usable water tumbler...a 'glass' for holding water. Just as any printer prints on paper, the 3D printer is commanded by codes to 'draw' a circle on the print surface, and then moves the head back and forth inside the circle, thereby printing the bottom of the tumbler. Only the 'ink' being deposited is liquid plastic, which is cooled by fan as soon as the liquid plastic exits the print nozzle. Cooling the liquid plastic causes it to transition back to the solid state. When the bottom has been completed another stepper motor raised the print head a tiny distance higher above the print surface and the process continues until there exists a water tumbler.
How does one print? Basically one uploads a file containing g-code that describes the object to be printed.
So, where does one get their print object models from? Well, one way to do it, is to design your own. I use OpenSCAD, an open-source, free 3D modeling tool, which is a parametric (a bit like coding except its done using code words and parameters, something similar to the way MatLab works). OpenSCAD will render a finished model but its not a typical drawing tool. To create a cone shaped object, one would write, "cylinder(5, 25, 30)" <== this would create a pointed cone that is 5units diameter at one end and 25units diameter at the other end, and it would be 30units long. I equivalence 'units' which portends no actual physical value to being 1unit = 1millimeter. I prefer using the metric system in lieu of the English numerical system. Its more convenient.
Another way to get object models is to use other folks' models. One really great source is that of "ThingiVerse", a free 3D object library that is hosted by the 3D printer manufacturer 'MakerBot' which stores thousands of 3D printer users' uploaded models. MakerBot provides this free service as a gift to the global 3D user community. Nice huh?
And here is one of those models that I happen to bump into this evening, heh heh, and I think I've seen it all now!
Its the Phone Stand - Commie Hammer!
Created by: Felix_Erable and was uploaded 11-20-18
Heh heh...
One downloads the (zip compressed) files; squirts them into the slicer, squirts into the printer and ya got a Commie Phone stand ya can place on the table for your cellphone!

The news media is blowing everything out of proportion so they can promote their political agenda, most of which happens to be anti-trump. They want people to believe that everything is going to hell so they can get him out of office and their own people back in power. The real life situation on the ground ain't all that different than it was four, six or eight years ago. The economy is a little bit better but there isn't rampant racism or discrimination or riots in the streets. I still live in Texas just like I always have and it's still the wonderful place it's always been. People shouldn't let their world view be skewed by the actions of a few political extremists who happen to get front page headlines. I don't think trump is any different from any other politician except for the fact that he isn't being polished and protected like most other politicians are. He doesn't have people double-checking and approving every word he writes or says, he doesn't have people telling him how to behave, what to eat, or what suit and tie looks best for the photographers. Trump is what he is. I think a lot of other politicians and celebrities are just as crude and uncouth as he is, they just do a good job of hiding it so ordinary people never see who they really are underneath all the glitz and glamour and propaganda. Not that I'm making excuses for him or anything. I'm just pretty much sick of all politicians regardless what side they claim to be on. SkyWalker!
Very well stated. I voted for Pres Trump, but I knew that he's an as.shole, I learned that by watching his TV show 0.5 times. He is a 'citizen president', what ya see is what ya got. I like that a lot better than all those polished talking-heads that we have no idea who they are because we can't see their thinking.
I call the Republicans "Reptilicans" (although I like them marginally better than) the Democrats (thanks to Swampy), heh heh, "Donky Rats"!!
As you say, they are all bad, stinky, licentious, deceitful, lying sacks of cesspool flushings.

In my mind, having actually studied meteorology for a couple of years at one juncture in my life's course, and that is, whether or not the global weather change is Human doings or rather just nature running its course? It appears that global-warming is eventing, but is it being caused by Human endeavors or not? Of course it could also be a combination of both, Human activity and nature!!

From what was said at Bayside & what the trusted seers of the day like Johnathan Cahn are saying i believe the christian church will be RAPTURED within the next 3 to 5 years.This will herald the dreadful 7 year Tribulation period which will include a 3 day nuclear war & earth being hit by a comet etc. A few prophesies will be fulfilled before then, many scholars believe Ezekiel 38/39 tells of when the armies of Russia, Iran & Turkey mass on the hills above Israel where an earthquake takes place which decimates their armies. From Bayside we are told men with beards will attack the Vatican & the Pope will flee Rome.Wendy Alec in her book The Fall Of Lucifer tells us that Lucifer rebelled with his angels because God had created this inferior being called Man in his own image. He swore before being caste out that he would forever be both Gods & humankinds adversary & seeks the destruction of their souls in hell, where it is said he has many tortured for fun. He gave himself the title Satan which means opposer. He especially hates Gods convenant people Jews/Christians & that is why he tried to have all the Jews killed in Hitlers death camps in an attempt to stop prophecy being fulfilled, but the nation of Israel was created in 1948. He had the arab countries attack Israel in the 1967 war, against overwhelming odds Israel defeated them in 6 days (Genesis, God created the world in 6 days & rested on the 7th).In the Tribulation period the Book of Revelation tells us 144,000 christian evangelists come out of Israel after Moses & Elijah come down to preach in Israel. The christian faith is the most persecuted faith in the world, more were killed for their faith in the 20th century than all the others put together.This is why prayer/fasting should be a daily habit for all christians as it diminishes his influence in the church & our world.
>>>church will be RAPTURED...tribulation
These are more mis-translations from the original Hebrew texts, which are delineated as being states of conscious existence in the various Sephira in an individual's Tree. The manner in which the states of experience are described, miss informs the reader, because the Bible text only partially describes one of the states in a main group of states, one of ten groups with 7 additional sub-states in each group, a couple of which are named "church" and another "rapture" and yet another, 'horns of tribulation'. There are literally millions of combinations of states that an individual can experience all dependent upon one's Mazal...Kharmic accrual. 'Creation' as well as the 'End' is ever unfolding, continuously, eg, the two 'ends' of the Ouroboros is closed, which is often represented as being a snake or often also as a 'Dragon', (a reptile) eating its own tail. "God" or "Jehova" (mis-pronounced, s/b 'Yod Heh Vav Heh' = Hebrew) has no beginning or end. The Bible text from the original is so screwed up its unbelieveable.
>>>
many scholars believe Ezekiel 38/39 tells of when the armies of Russia, Iran & Turkey mass on the hills above Israel where an earthquake takes place which decimates their armies.
<<<
"Ezekiel" is a name of an Angel. The Bible babblers mis-transliterated the Hebrew, yet again, and they wrote their translations so nebulously, that hordes of scholars through out the ages have interpreted dozens of different ideas about what Ezekiel actually portends. Some 'scholars' say its a ship, others, a Human ruler, etc. However, "Ezekial" is a Hebrew word spelled = "Yod Tzadi Qof Yod Alef Lamed", properly pron "YahZeeKeeAL". Any spelling that is terminated with "Alef Lamed" or "AL" is the name of an Angel. The mistranslations are terrible bad, like saying a 'foot eats wood light'. The transliterations are so bad that its almost impossible to understand how the English/Latin/Greek Bible translations became so distorted?? Hebrew is entirely a Mystical coding system like a programming language. God can be likened to that of being a 'psionic' or Spiritual 'machine' that can be programmed by vibrating (not speaking, but mentally entoning the 'spell'ings) similar to sending code to a computer. How does one translate an Angel, which can't exist physically as having mundane ideas? Or brain functions?
<<< The Fall Of Lucifer tells us that Lucifer rebelled with his angels because God had created this inferior being called Man in his own image. >>>
More babbling. Lucifer isn't satan, as "satan" was a Church invention. Satan doesn't exist outside of Christian thinking. Of course Christians cluelessly believe that they are the chosen, just as the Jewish believe, and the Arabs, and most of the more primitive religionists around the world also believe. How can they all be the **ONLY** chosen? Advanced doctrines teach that individuals can escape, but not all at once, due to group Mazal....their Kharmic condition which keeps them in the re-incarnation cycle. That is how the Reptilians are able to continually harvest us. We are the ubiquitous green 'renewable energy' source!!
Re; the so-called 'fall' another badly translated Mystical process, --the most ancient intact writings on Earth, predating the Bible 7,000 years, written in Sanskrit (dead language believed to have originated in Sumer, where the Reptilians landed, and where they invented Humankind), is a collection of texts that describe the early history of the Reptilians, who later became known as 'Gods' by early Hermanubis, proto-Humans, as documented and described in the "Old Testament". Sometime around the period of the so-called "flood", the Reptilians apparently disappeared from Earth. It is known, at least by me, where they went, but I speculate they used technology to move into a higher vibrational dimension which could explain why Mystics and the sighted see them in Yetzirah (Hebrew = one of the four dimensions of YHVH's Mind)..the Astral plane (Sanskrit = one of the four dimensions of YHVH's Mind) and where lucid dreaming takes place, as well as Remote-Viewing. Through out the ages almost all vestiges of the Reptilians vanished from Humankind's recollection, except for cave drawings, stone statuary (commonly seen in Ireland, Scotland and the UK, mainly carved during the Coptic period) and also in ancient Church drawing depictions of them. Later these depictions became the genesis of the image of the "Devil". Red, horned, blood red eyes with goat like pupils, having bat-like wings folded up on the back...a Drakko Dragon, Reptilian warrior caste. This is where things get really tricky. The reason being is that the "Devil" is an archetypal Angel, which seems to exist only within Human consciousness (and all other Earth life forms as well but most folks can't see their energy patterns). I suspect that the reason this exists is likely due to the advanced technology that the Reptilians obviously commanded, 144,000 years ago (thats also delineated in the Rig Vedas text), and that when they engineered our specis, they somehow, coded into us their archetypes. When Mystics approach the gates during Ascension practice, all the Angelic gate watchers are Drakko Dragons!!! No kidding. The Arch Angel "Urial" which is synonomous with the Devil, is the Gate Watcher into the Sephira Geburah, and is known as the Angels of Destruction!!! How did all this get translated into the BS of the Bible?
When one reads a book written in a Latinized language such as "English", after a time, when the reader becomes enmeshed in the story, little dreams form within the reader's mind depicting the story. That is a form of telepathy. It exists between the author's mind and that of the reader, in addition to the reader's level of education, etc. Look through orange colored glasses one will see an orange colored world. English is a mundane language therefore the dreams are mundane dreams.
When one reads any text of the Divine languages, such as Sanskrit, Aramaic (YHSVH...Jesus' language) and-or Hebrew, after a time, when the reader becomes enmeshed in the text, dreams form within the readers mind. These dreams are Divine dreams. It is telepathy between God and the reader, because those tracts are formulas the spell Divine processes. All of that is missing from the Latinized Bible.
>>>seeks the destruction of their souls in hell
When we die, it is a process of the nefesh shells-of-embodiment dissolving. These shells are colored by the accrual of Kharmic conditions through the lifeterm of the individual which are 'stored' Mazal (Hbr)/Akasha (Sanskrit). If the neshema, the soul body, has accrued significant negative Mazal/Kharma, when the shells break up, the soul will be forced through the hells of its own making. Demons, which are the entities that exist in the side-columns of our Tree, always strive to consume ('destroy') our neshema/souls when we transition. Fortunately, most neshema are protected by the "Auric Shell" (Skt), provided that the individual did not punch or crack it, through very negative actions such as doing hard drugs and other type nasties.
Red in Blue Light, "Om Namah ShiVaya" (Vedic Sanskrit mantra)
"For it was Shiva who swallowed the poison when Demons tried to destroy Earth."
I've had enough of this, I gotta hit the sack, 'cause I'm going to MY church tomorrow.

SPIRITS OF DARKNESS In a cave so deep and wide Your flying saucers seek to hide; Sent up through space, confusion to found. Your earth is now clothed all around With spirits of darkness who travel by night. But do not be frightened; pray for their flight. Veronica Bayside shrine USA Nov 24th 1993 If you want to get rid of a UFO from an area, then use christian prayer, it creates a noise in their minds that makes them want to scarper. UFO's are supernatural & not extraterrestrial, used by Satan & his cohorts to fool humankind that we are being visited by alien races.This was stated by Jesus & Mary during there appearences at the Bayside shrine (1970-94). Aliens simply do not exist (see my other post on the UFO forum) but Satan & his cohorts have the ability to shape shift to look like aliens.The reason for there use will become clear after the christian church is RAPTURED (also see my post on the spirituality forum). JohnD,
<<< If you want to get rid of a UFO from an area, then use christian prayer, it creates a noise in their minds that makes them want to scarper. >>>
I am loath to say, but you are full of misinformed poop.. Prayer does not rid oneself of ET meddling. There are folks who believe that they are being bothered by ET ridding themselves using mantras, so-called 'prayers', but those aren't ET, because prayer does not rid oneself of authentic extra-terrestrial activity, however, I suspect that its just a convenient, in their minds, metaphore as they are clueless regarding the demon world in which we all energize through our own Mazla. If one is not awake, driving, who is?
Christians for the most part are clueless, simply owing to the fact that anything to do with Mystical practices through out the centuries were banned by the Church through the reward of death, including the telepathic process known as "praying". That clueless stance exists today. Christians haven't got a clue how to actually pray. Clasping one's hands together and exclaiming, "Oh Jesus please help me git rid those demon aliens!", just doesn't cut the mustard. Doesn't work with Reptilians either contrary to a growing group of babblers out there selling books.
The militaries of Earth have developed directed energy weapons...high power ray-guns, and are shooting down ET craft, how does one explain that, if they don't exist? They shape shift into a crashed craft to fool us by appearing to be dead, burned with missing arms and heads amongst the rubble? That's a mighty tricky demon!
I'm a Reptilian attack survivor and it wasn't prayer or Jesus that saved my a.ss, so spare us your uniformed, theoretical BS.

A friend of mine, a 50 year career amateur radio operator 'ham', lost everything in the Paradise city so-called 'camp-fire' burn. At this time, 7700 homes and 1600 business structures, and 1000 persons remain missing in Paradise California. My freind, from the time they were warned to the moment that they were forced to flee for their lives was 5 minutes. Their neighbors, physically next door and a bit closer to the flames, were found burned to death in their car. My friend, his wife and his three kitties escaped. All of their property including his electronics laboratory and all of his ham radio gear, photos...everything burned up. It took them 12 hours to travel 2 miles. I wish that I could show you the photo of his grey SUV that turned crispy brown. So far the death toll in Paradise according to the news channels here, which aired video of the fires 24hrs / day, state that 76 people have been found deceased, mainly inside their cars and homes, but there are 1000 people missing.
6 meter and 70 centimeter ham repeaters all over southern California are down, because of the number of mountain-top installations burned and in addition to homes that were part of the repeater systems that burned. All total, at last look, via CalFire website, there are 16 fires raging across California, some of which are no longer being counted, as they started in California but have crossed over into other states.
However, hams located all over California are the best sources of information regarding where the mandatory evacuations are being ordered and the fires are actually burning.
It is a genuine tragedy.
The Governor of California, Donky Rat, Jerry Brown, re-directed from the electrical power infrastructure repair funds raised through additional taxes (can't feed & house hordes of illegal foreign-nationals sneaking across the southern border for ever for free), diverted the funds to pay for the 55,000 additional temporary Dept of Motor Vehicles (DMV) employees to handle the hordes of applicants, when he signed California SB52, granting illegal foreign nationals the right to acquire DMV driver's licenses...just before the elections. More election fiddling. There are groups of folks who lost their homes who are forming a class action suit against the governor for that little deal. The Camp-Fire fire was started by above ground electrical power wires shorting due to the high winds. Those exact wires were to be re-routed underground to prevent that actuality from happening, again, using those funds, but he diverted the money.
One of the hams down here on the WIN System, just successfully had "Jerry Brown" added to the "Urban Dictionary" as a synonym name associated with "Bennedict Arnold", the American traitor who was executed for treason.

JohnD,
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. But it helps to be a bit informed.
'Satan' was a literacle 'invention' by the Church during the middle ages, an attempt, to personify certain characteristics of the Arch Angel Urial a gate-watcher, or what was mis-transliterated and later became known as a 'fallen Angel', the "Devil" (Hbr = Dalet Beyt Lamed pron "Devil", which transliterates...means more or less, the 'red-ones', Angels of Destruction in the left hand path in the Tree-Of-Life). The 'Devil' in early Church depictions (drawings and paintings) appear exactly like Drakko Reptilians, the warrior caste of the specis, a race that makes claim to be the property owner of Mother Earth and her offspring.
I recommend an interesting and informative book, written by the Dean of Catholic Studies at UCLA.edu in Los Angeles, titled, "The Invention of Satan". I don't recall the book's author, and I gave the book to someone years ago, but I'm sure that if you are curious, you may find it by its title alone.
<<<Book Of Revelations, these are the end times>>>
"Revelations" is a tract of notions that were inaccurately plagerized from the ancient Hebrew Sefer Yetzirah. The so-called "end-times" is but one revelation in a series of ten revelations, each of which are keyed to the Mazal (Hbrew = Sanskrit = 'Kharma'), whether it be an individual's or planetary wide. Creation is ongoing, as well as the End-Times, the two ends of the Oborous has never ceased. In YHVH's Mind, there is no beginning or end.
In fact everything that is described in Revelations and re; the End-Times as delineated in the Holy Bible is almost verbatim, but seen only from the mundane perspective as the transliterators were not sighted, as one can see that the Bible is mainly a mundane text almost completely devoid of the Mystical Divine aspects that are present in the original Hebrew texts. All of the 'visions' describe aspects of the acrude planetary Mazla (Hbr = Sanskrit = "Kharma"), again described in the Sefer Yetzirah, one of the 7 ancient Hebrew manuscripts, all predating the Bible texts from which numerous tracts of the Bible were taken. The Greek, the Latin, etc, text are mostly historical Human events and recommendations of proper behavior.
Many folks are uninformed and misguided regarding religious perceptions about subjects concerning extra-terrestrial individuals, extra-terrestrial craft, end times and "satan".

Yes, AI Can Be Tricked, And it's a Serious Problem Adversarial examples represent potentially very dangerous flaws in artificial intelligence systems that researchers are still working to understand and overcome.
By: Chris Wiltz, --Electronic Design News Magazine November 09, 2018
By introducing imperceptible adversarial examples into an image of a pig, researchers were able to trick an image recognition system into believing it was looking at an airliner.
In 1985, famed neurologist Oliver Sacks released his book, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat. The titular case study involved a man with visual agnosia, a neurological condition that renders patients unable to recognize objects or, in this case, creates wild disassociations in objects (i.e., mistaking your wife's head for a hat). It's a tragic condition, but also one that offers neurologists deep insight into how the human brain works. By examining the areas of the brain that are damaged in cases of visual agnosia, researchers are able to determine what structures play a role in object recognition.
While artificial intelligence hasn't reached the levels of sophistication of the human brain, it is possible to approach AI research in the same way. Would you ever mistake a pig for an airliner? What about an image of a cityscape for a Minion from "Despicable Me?" Have you ever seen someone standing up and thought they were lying down? Chances are, you haven't. But machine learning algorithms can make these sorts of mistakes where a human never would.
Giving the system “brain damage”—understanding where mistakes occur in the system—allows researchers to develop more robust and accurate systems. This is the role of what are called adversarial examples—essentially, optical illusions for AI.
Plenty of humans have been fooled by optical illusions or sophisticated magic tricks, but we go about our daily lives recognizing objects and sounds pretty accurately. But the same task of recognizing an image that may seem more than obvious to a human can actually trick AI due to tiny anomalies, or perturbations, in the image. Adversarial examples are imperceptible to the humans, but they can cause AI to make errors and miscalculations that no healthy human ever would. Thus, an image of a city street that looks normal to a human can contain hidden perturbations that make an AI system think it is looking at a Minion character. (The Facebook AI researchers demonstrated this exact case in a 2017 study.)

T-CUP camera captures ten trillion frames per second10/24/2018 By Gail Overton - Senior Editor Nothing beats a clear image, says Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (INRS; Quebec City, QC, Canada) professor and ultrafast imaging specialist Jinyang Liang. He and his colleagues, led by Caltech's Lihong Wang, have developed what they call T-CUP: the world's fastest camera, as described in a Nature journal, capable of capturing ten trillion (1013) frames per second (fps). This new camera literally makes it possible to freeze time to see phenomena--and even light--in extremely slow motion. In recent years, the junction between innovations in nonlinear optics and imaging has opened the door for new and highly efficient methods for microscopic analysis of dynamic phenomena in biology and physics. But to harness the potential of these methods, there needs to be a way to record images in real time at a very short temporal resolution--in a single exposure. Using current imaging techniques, measurements taken with ultrashort laser pulses must be repeated many times, which is appropriate for some types of inert samples, but impossible for other more fragile ones. For example, laser-engraved glass can tolerate only a single laser pulse, leaving less than a picosecond to capture the results. In such a case, the imaging technique must be able to capture the entire process in real time. Compressed ultrafast photography (CUP) was a good starting point them. At 100 billion frames per second, this method approached, but did not meet, the specifications required to integrate femtosecond lasers. To improve on the concept, the new T-CUP system was developed based on a femtosecond streak camera that also incorporates a data acquisition type used in applications such as tomography. "We knew that by using only a femtosecond streak camera, the image quality.....

Nah, Ford was Nixon's vice prez. He took over after the watergate scandal when Nixon resigned.
Hah hah. That's a cool painting. I really liked Pres Reagan. I saw him do something in Sacremento that really impressed me. Like Pres Trump, he was a Citizen President. Unlike Pres Reagan, Pres Trump is often a bit crude for my tastes, but I would rather have a crude president than an earbud/speech-team "fake" president.

There are now three matches headed here. the second one has used guns and bombs already in Mexico. The first march has been offered asylum in Mexico but most have rejected that to continue on. They are coming The march leaders are demanding transportation to the border to get here for the elections in time. In Britain they have sifted the policing of immigration critics to MI5. they are getting very serious about silencing any critics what so ever. MI5 will investigate the police with doing the arresting. What in hell do they fear Critics are now high terrorists under the law The UN says they want critics silenced and Britain is doing the Jawohl Heinrich thing to comply Freedom what are freedom.

Wow! A bunch of great photos. I love that guy!! I'm voting for him again. And I don't give a hoot that President Trump shoots from the hip either, without checking his facts first, (doesn't mean he's a liar, but the donkeycrats make him out to be) un-like all those other professional political criminals with their wireless earbuds receiving transmissions from the politically correct speech managers just out of public or camera view. You have no idea who they are? Because its not their talking or thinking, but a team of professional speech managers. That's how stupid the public is.
Yep.

It is highly probable that the march will humber in five figures by the time it hits the US border. Another march if forming to follow the first. Back in Nazi Germany they had the Adolf Hitler March where the Hitler youth marched to Nuremberg for the party day rally held every year. Starting in small villages the small groups of HJ met in larger towns and so on growing in size as they went until long columns of HJ were marching through major cities. They were feed and put up by the local people. Finally they got to the party rally and took part in it living in vast tent cities. The current march from Central America is well planned and well organized it is as spontaneous as the attack on Pearl Harbor. It is a political game to influence the elections here. Unfortunately such moves need victims of the tyrant for proper exploitation the march is to build up drama and suspense. 2,000 miles is a long way to march and they are already suffering foot and leg issues. They need to cover 20 miles a day without rest to stick to the time table. An improvised fleet of vehicles is moving the march along It is a really great job of organizing and propaganda to far. millions of lennies are falling for it hook line and sinker. One possible out come is that they are met at the border by the national guard and as they climb the border fence en mass women and kids first some one unknown fire shots and you can see what would follow politically. It is all cold blooded planned from the start. I have mentioned the gas testing going on in Marin Co. Imagine a whiff of the gas at the moment the march hits the frontier wire. Another possible out come is that they wear out and cant continue the march due to blisters and leg cramps a far better out come But then there is the second march coming along and how many after that one if the first is let in. Trump has to wim this to remain viable as President. If he backs down he is finished and no one will respect him and he will lose his support base. He has to stop them cold at the border Machine guns are more efficient.

Yep...its dire, but I always remember that big event, you know the one the killed all the dinosaurs, which enabled us, which were elements in THEIR food chain to evolve into, well, us.
So, yep, life goes on.
But there may actually be global warming or not. We as a scientific information gathering specis have not been collecting information long enough to know for sure, or even to create reliable, accurate, meterological models that can reliably predict whether or not, we are the cause?! The current weather models are only about 30% accurate in their predictions of the more simple things such as hurricane landing points let alone predictions about the entire planetary weather system over only a couple hundred years! Now I am not saying that I don't believe that Human civilization is causing global-warming, as I've seen weather pattern changes that seem obvious to have been caused by Human endeavors. One area being Lancaster California, at a home which was at one time too windy to fly my RC helicopters. It was at my best-friend Mikey's house (he's been in prison since 2012 for manslaughter, shot his next door neighbor while inebriated, he believed that he was defending himself), but now since all the neighborhood homes have been built around that area, there is little or no wind, and Mikey no longer owns that home.... :L
So...?

ps. I am a member of the IWWF and regularly donate to their causes as well as other nature conservancies such as the Sierra Club... President Trump, is the first 'citizen president' we've had since the 'invention' of TV telepolitics; I voted for him, and I'll vote for him again, but his attitude in these type matters pis.ses me off.

What...nobody had the brains to collect, bottle, present to the 'authorities' (if they are useful for anything, aside from collecting money?) to determine the composition of the substance? Then maybe the source can be determined, else, its just more UFOs....or USOs (unidentified smelly objects)... :))

I read every page of that book.
It is not very good and is woefully inaccurate in almost every identifiable matter. The names are wrong, the locations are wrong, the sizes are wrong, the charactures are wrong, the behaviors are wrong...what is correct in that book? Also, considering, having read the introduction, that the information contained within the book's 'information collection' implied to have been collected by Russian intelligence (considered to be the best in World of intelligence agencies), all of the information that is verifiable or recognizable aside from that which I suspect is just plain bull-sh.it fabrication, all of the 'verifiable' information is info that has been available on the InterNet since about 1995. In other words, where's the supposed information learned directly from the aliens?
Many of the images are clearly CGI and are not photos, while the photos have been copied from other books, most of which are out-of-print but which were printed in the mid-1970s ~ 1980s, but were pre-InterNet books. The authors work around this sticking point in their introduction by mumbling and insinuating that these aliens through cooperation with Earthian governments, released 'certain' information via video games and through, (they even cited "Hollywood" by name) movies. I doubt that very much, as generally speaking Hollywood considers (they being mostly Jewish, the smartest people on Earth and apparently all liberal DonkeyCrats that know bull-sh.it when they see it as they are kings of bull-sh.it), consider alien presence to be outright non-sense and anyone who "believes that stuff are delusional". I was told that by a TV show director I worked for in Hollywood. Although I should mention that the US Government, maintains a $300 million Dollar movie budget for undisclosed something? Its classified. That process began with Clinton. Ad rem...back to the point. The images are either fabrications or are wrongly depicted for aliens that have seen and pictorially reported by numerous Human observors and don't match, or are so badly depicted that the characture is unrecognizable.
The book...its bad. I can't make up my mind re; its agenda..is it just a couple of guys attempting to make a name for themselves? or is its just another example of badly presented disinformation? What's the point? Anyone who has done any significant or serious study of alien presence knows that its bad information. What is the point of doing this much work? Even if the information were somewhat accurate or completely accurate, it would still be a poor grade book as the data is badly presented or presents almost no useful information...in any case it stinks, in my opinion. However, I suggest folks read it and make your own decision about it. But please, keep in mind that everything known in the book can be checked and that there is nothing actually alien being presented...
But thanks for keeping an eye out for us, AuntyM.

Well...since no one seems to be paying attention to reality....
The:
- US Army has tanks, helicopters and tank-killer airplanes, - US Airforce has airplanes, and helicopters, - US Marine Corp has tanks, helicopters, & jump-jets
- US Navy has ships, helicopters, and fighter jets - US Coast Guard (closest to America where the wealthy & Senators' sons serve), has ships, and helicopters, - US Space Command?
As for tactical weaponry...nuclear weapons were 1960s technology and it ain't guided missiles...

Paulette I am so very sorry for your loss and I truly can empathize. I am not sorry for his passing because you have described a miserable shell of a life that he had. I feel the same way about my son...I miss him like words are impossible and I will love him forever BUT...I know there is another level of consciousness..another and another reality..I KNOW we go from here to other dimensions so they are not gone...they are just not with us and that is the hard part and the part we the living have to deal with. I'm not easy yet with discussing 'shared' memories of my son other than with my daughter and other son and we don't do that often because the ache is still horrendous for the son left, who was his best friend even when they weren't getting along, they had one another's back. I know it's even harder for him than for me but slowly he's managing to go through his brothers things. We all need to grieve. To find what we can accept and move on with our lives. I don't think there is a 'death' just a moving forward and in your friends case...think of the wonderful explorations in store! Not final frontier's just very new ones. One of things that is so hard to wrap our minds around is that...well...we can still feel them and we know deep within ourself that they are still 'around' but so unreachable. Its almost as though one can reach out and touch'm...but where? Death is so final. It creates a hole that only the Beautiful Light of God can fill, thankfully. But its still there, always. And in time the connection silently drifts away. <sigh> After time, I no longer can see them or sense them or feel them. Its not that they are no longer there, but that they have risen to a higher frequency than I can receive...

Autonomous flying taxi firm, backed by Google co-founder, unveils first plane In 2016, Alphabet CEO Larry Page invested in Kitty Hawk, which is developing the Cora plane.
By Conner Forrest
March 13, 2018, 6:18 AM PST
* Kitty Hawk, an autonomous flying taxi company backed by Alphabet CEO Larry Page, unveiled its Cora commercial plane.
* Kitty Hawk's Cora is completely autonomous, fully electric, and can travel at speeds of 93 mph.
Kitty Hawk, an autonomous flying taxi firm backed by Alphabet CEO and Google co-founder Larry Page, unveiled its prototype Cora air taxi on Monday. The plane's launch and test run were showcased in a YouTube video published by Kitty Hawk.
Business travelers are often frequent users of taxis and apps like Uber and Lyft. However, the advent of air taxis—especially with autonomous capabilities—could fundamentally change the way the world sees commuting and business travel forever.
In the video Eric Allison, the vice president of engineering for Cora, explained that the plane is 100% electric, and therefore emissions free. It can take off and land vertically, so it doesn't require a long runway to complete its flights.

South Korea's transport ministry will commence a proof-of-concept project for autonomous public transportation with SK Telecom and Hyundai.
By Cho Mu-Hyun
May 25, 2018 -- 03:37 GMT (20:37 PDT)
South Korea will commence a proof-of-concept project for autonomous public transportation, its transport ministry has announced.
The research will last until 2021 with a budget of 35.9 billion won ($33 million), with SK Telecom and Hyundai as participants.
The project aims to develop autonomous buses and trucks and an accompanying monitoring system with high-definition mapping and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) support.
The South Korean telco will focus on building the monitoring system. It will build 5G, V2X, and HD Map support and provide real-time traffic information to the autonomous vehicles.
The project will develop more than eight autonomous electric buses and diesel buses for use in trial areas, with two vehicles to go live next year.
The country is already commencing mapping major cities to offer a safe traffic system for autonomous vehicles.
South Korea is gearing up for 5G deployment that will begin next year, with spectrum to be auctioned off in June.
Samsung Electronics is also preparing to role out safety chips for use in autonomous vehicles going forward.

I think the real question is, will WE ever become conscious?
A deceased friend of mine, Dr. Ron Blue (heart-attack in 2013), a Psyhco-CyberNetistcist (prof at a city college in N. California). He was an artificial-consciousness robotistcist. He engineered, along with the aid of a Ph.D. electronics engineer, several robots, Lil-Corey & RICCI, which Ron told me were modeled using wavelet transforms which he characterized and modeled from years of having studied the manner in which the Human brain processes information across the two hemispheres. He named that process "Quasi-Oppositional Hemisphere Transform Processing". His robots exhibited Human child learning behaviors among the sets of behaviors and, interestingly, telepathic function, eg, altered physical motion behavior derived from thought commands. Dr. Blue demonstrated this aspect during his lecture to an audience of 1200 robotistcists during the 2002 IEEE National Robotics Conference which was hosted in Denver Co. There people who claimed he was charlatan and demaned that the curtains be opened to reveal the remote control operator whom they believed were hiding behind the curtains controlling the on-stage robot.
Ron's robots do not employ either stored program or programmed processors and is not logic circuit based or use artificial (also 'digital') neuron topologies. In other words his robots are not based on algorithmic processes or so-called neuro-net closed-loop weight systems, instead it was comprised of hundreds of analog (non-digitally biased) reverse biased Josephson Junction Field Effect Transistors (J-FETs) arranged in 'chaos', thereby implementing what Ron termed as being a Quantum-Computer, for lack of a better descriptive phrase. I asked him, during one phone call (I had permission to record our conversations), why the military versions of artificial consciousness robots were so big?...4 story buildings stuffed with billions of arrayed-parallel-processors, powered by Titanic sized diameter power-cables, etc, while his AC robots are running around on a stage without a power-tether, inside a shoebox on 4 mini-wheels, and powered by a couple of AAs for the wheel motors and a smoke-detector battery...9Vdc for the Quantum-Brain. He replied, "the military wants to know how every aspect of the process works. I just want it to work. He modeled the general over-all functionality, while the military models the process. I personally don't see the distinction but Ron was adamant about it.
So the bottom line is, Swampy, if mecha can't be conscious, can we be? 'We' and AI/AC mecha are both machines.

Another Win for Trump. Draining the swamp. People think it was just about Washington, nope, its about everything that's crooked in this land of corporate lawlessness.
