Flash: Radiation really is bad for you

Once again, it appears we need a “conspiracist” — in this case, the indefatigable Alan Watt — to remind us that the National Academy of Sciences long ago stated the obvious: That there is no safe level for radiation exposure.

Listen to the archive of Alan’s April 8 radio program (you’ll find it via the link, below), and re-remember your basic biophysics.

Alan always writes a wee poem to accompany his archive posts. Here’s a portion:

Power-Elite and Scientific Combination, Guaranteeing Life’s Ruination:

There’s Radiation Swirling Around Each Head

It Will Add Many to the Great Book of the Dead

Over Many Years Propagandists Will Shout, Blustering, Denying the Effects of Fallout

Whilst Elitists, Comfortable in City-Size Bunker

And the Common Fearful in Cellars Hunker…

Mel-ennial madness, from father to son

Christopher Knowles at the Secret Sun reminds us this week that Mel Gibson’s crazed dad — a reputed Holocaust denier and darling of white nationalist broadcasters — deserves much of the credit for creating Hollywood’s favorite real-life monster.

Knowles calls upon his own experiences, as well, to make the case:

I very much doubt that growing up with a guy like Hutton as your father made for a lot of smiles and sunshine. I wouldn’t be surprised if that belt didn’t come off at the slightest possible infraction. Growing up in a neighborhood with a lot of people raised in the pre-Vatican II church, I got to know the mentality.

Stanton Friedman compares UFO coverup to Watergate

This is the first in a midyear review I’ll be doing over the next week, of the Heretic’s 10 New England Esotericists to Watch in 2010… — MB

Physicist and UFOlogist Stanton Friedman picked up a bit of MSM coverage this week, when Fox noted that Friedman describes in his latest book a vast cover-up of ET evidence, with help from a cast of self-described debunkers:

In Friedman’s new book, “Science Was Wrong,” co-authored with Kathleen Marden, he wrote, “There’s been no shortage of strong, negative proclamations from debunking groups and individuals who refuse to examine the evidence … to support the notion that some UFOs are of extraterrestrial origin.”

Smart appliances will tell Google when you rise, and hit the shower

Now that we know Google — the search engine giant and revolving door operation for CIA analysts — has been spying on Wi-Fi laptop users, we can expect corporations and governments to next target so-called smart appliances: toasters, clock radios (such as this prototype, left) and dishwashers connected directly to the Internet.

Add these gadgets to the smart meters being promoted by the likes of the Boston-based “consumer group,” ConsumerUnited.com (actually, the organization lists utility companies as its “partners”), and you will find it impossible to flip a switch in your house without someone knowing about it.

Here’s a bit from my column this week, below the fold, about a Wi-Fi (and therefore, apparently, vulnerable) alarm clock that factors-in your commute time, and the time it takes you to shave and shower before work, to calculate when you wake up:

“The Dynamically Programmable Alarm Clock will not make getting out of bed easier. But it will do a better job than your current bedside gadget to make sure you’re on time for that meeting.

The DPAC (egaertner.com/dpac), as its developers at Northeastern University call it, connects to Google Calendar via Wi-Fi. It then grabs your first task of the day as a starting point for its calculations.”

Note: Special thanks to Alan Watt (and his Cutting Through the Matrix listeners) for sharing your thoughts about my research, here.

Rodriguez making Latino "Birth of a Nation," Alex Jones says

A typically hoarse, but not-too-hotheaded Alex Jones is waving the script to Roberto Rodriguez’s upcoming Mexican vs. white American violent thriller, “Machete,” saying it might spark racial warfare throughout the country this fall.

The trailer for “Machete” suggests the film is a vengeance story, in which whites are portrayed as the bad guys, and a parody of the blaxploitation films of the 1970s.

Jones calls the film “a psyop, straight out of hell,” crafted to put Whites and Hispanics at each others’ throats.

Ronald Reagan: Occultist

I wonder if it means you’ve drunk the conspiracist’s Kool-Aid when you say to someone, abruptly, and for no apparent reason, “I’m not a Freemason.”

That’s what I said to a colleague at Emmanuel College, Friday, when I was blabbing about how, when working with someone, “I need to know if he’s on the level.”

Perhaps my self-consciousness was provoked by this bit about “the Great Communicator,” excerpted below (via Christopher Knowles). The piece, by occult historian Mitch Horowitz got me thinking about how our use of the language reveals our beliefs, and programming.

“At a 1957 commencement address at his alma mater Eureka College, Reagan, then a corporate spokesman for GE, sought to inspire students with this leaf from occult history. ‘This is a land of destiny,’ Reagan said, ‘and our forefathers found their way here by some Divine system of selective service gathered here to fulfill a mission to advance man a further step in his climb from the swamps.’”

You can listen to a wonderful interview with Horowitz, by Occult of Personality host, Greg Kaminsky, here.

US Government to Scrutinize Patriot Radio

Alan Watt makes the MSM, again, this time for hosting his show on RBN. Also, a prediction: By 2011, the federal government will confirm that it is directly investigating RBN, or another underground radio network. — MB

John Stadtmiller’s Republic Broadcasting Network is taking heat in the Christian Science Monitor, for broadcasting a show hosted by the head of the Guardians of the Free Republics.

Stadtmiller, a competent broadcaster, appears to be getting out in front of this week’s story, about the Guardians’ apparently clumsy attempt to get dozens of US governors to step-down. (The word “investigation” alone is enough to make a broadcaster’s heart skip a beat.)

RBN also broadcasts Alan Watt’s Cutting Through the Matrix. The weeknight show features excellent insights — often on science and technology news stories — from Watt, one of the underground’s best-known conspiracy historians. (Watt’s commentary has informed my MSM reporting on RFID technologies, for example.)

But the network also airs a show by one, rabid anti-Semite, along with other voices that might not otherwise find a significant audience. And it runs ads from Holocaust-denying publishers:

“Republican Broadcasting Network is a satellite, shortwave, and Internet radio station that features 31 shows with names like ‘Cutting Through the Matrix, ‘Govern America,’ and ‘Road Warrior Radio.’ It has loose ties to the American Free Press newspaper, which Michael calls “the most important newspaper of the radical right.’”

Watt receives no money from RBN for his show, which is supported by direct book sales and donations to his website.

James Lovelock to humans (again): "Go to Hell"

Is a “false flag” eco-attack somewhere in the offing? — MB

The scientist who popularized the theory that the Earth is a single organism this week told the UK Guardian humans are too stupid to understand the threat of global warming.

He also said that only a very dramatic event — such as catastrophic flooding, which would surely take thousands of lives — may be necessary to get people’s attention:

“He thinks only a catastrophic event would now persuade humanity to take the threat of climate change seriously enough, such as the collapse of a giant glacier in Antarctica, such as the Pine Island glacier, which would immediately push up sea level.

‘That would be the sort of event that would change public opinion,” he said. “Or a return of the dust bowl in the mid-west.’”

Vandals hit "Ten Commandments of the Antichrist"

CNN reports that the mysterious, provocative Georgia Guidestones, which call for human depopulation, have been marred by “conspiracists”:

In recent years, the monument has been hit by vandals who see in it the creed of a shadowy “New World Order” bent on subjugating humanity. It has been tagged at least three times since 2008, leaving scrawls of “God is stronger than the NWO,” vague threats of destruction and various crudities across the granite.”The worst was they put a two-part epoxy over two faces,” said Mart Clamp, whose father helped carve the stones. “You just can't pressure-wash it off, you have to get in there with a hammer-type tool and beat it off.”
