Corporations will push humans into alternate realities

digital_wall_v8.jpg

The world’s largest corporations, including Procter & Gamble, Siemens, Motorola and Time Warner, may be planning to port our individual consciousnesses over to machine-generated alternate realities (think Second Life).

The companies will use embedded sensors and displays, RFID tags and other tracking devices, and brain implants as the real-to-virtual gateway through which humans will either jump, or be pushed.

That is, of course, if you believe that think tanks not only predict the future, but actually shape it (link and excerpt, below).

The Institute for the Future predicts “a culture of layered realities” marked by the “intermingling of alternate-reality games and real-life interactions in physical–digital space,” in its 2005-2015 “Map of the Decade.”

P&G and the other companies are IFTF members. Rand Corp. researchers, backed by the Ford Foundation, founded the futurist think tank in 1968.

IFTF is headed by one of the fathers of the internet, Jacques Vallée. (He also happens to be one of the world’s leading UFO experts. Vallée was among several prominent ufologists at a GWU symposium I covered for Wired in 2002.)

Now Jane McGonigal, a developer and expert on ubiquitous technologies (a category that includes arfids and embedded sensors) and alternate reality games, is on the IFTF payroll.

“As a futures forecaster,” reads one line from McGonigal’s bio, “I explore how games might be used to virtualize everyday life.”

Influences of forecasts

While think tanks play many roles, an example that brings home their importance now and in the future is the increasing interest in long-range forecasting and thinking about the future. (…) What we must realize now is that as institutions assume the formal role of casting about in the future, they dramatically increase their influence on that future. Simply put, if a think tanks tells its sponsors and others willing to listen that X, Y and Z will occur by the year 2000, then X, Y, and Z are more likely to occur as policy and technological goals adapt to those predictions

Expolitics: Aliens pull the strings

Exopolitics is the study of the “key actors, institutions and political processes associated with the extraterrestrial hypothesis,” says Michael Salla, Ph.D. in this intro to his website, Exopolitics.org.

The site presents only unbiased, scholarly exopolitical research, says Scalla. (Found this through Freeman.)

57 ET species doing business on Earth

Civilization is inhuman, Austin-based says eso-researcher Freeman. His guest, Dr. Michael Salla, agrees. Salla says there are 57 different alien species interacting with planet Earth at this moment.

“Short grays” are among the few interacting with the U.S. government. The short grays are known to abduct humans for genetic experiments, says Freeman.

Freeman also suspects the alien short grays live underground. And he finds it very interesting that computers are made from “silicon, gas and gold”–all subterranean materials.

Salla suggests the activities of the small grays are directed by a race called the tall whites, or tall grays, and other races of reptilians and praying mantises.

Dr. Michael Salla joins Freeman on a discussion of everything extraterrestrial. As head of the Exopolitics Institute, Dr. Salla has much to say about ET activity on planet earth.

Former Ariz. Gov. now admits seeing "UFOs"

It does seem as if government officials like to disclose what they know (if anything) about UFOs, s-l-o-w-l-y, often years later.

Symington confirms he saw UFO 10 years ago
Ten years after the “Phoenix Lights” UFO incident, former Arizona Gov. Fife Symington, III, now says he saw an unidentified object that night, even though he originally did not say so publicly.
“It was enormous and inexplicable,” he said in an exclusive interview from Phoenix. “Who knows where it came from? A lot of people saw it, and I saw it too.”
