the other night my friends were pondering what you call the person who waves those bright sticks on the runaway when the plane is taxiing. as in what is their job title? I tried Google, but no luck so far.

AND now a message from your DNA

2005-05-03T23:24:33Z

Alien message 'may be in our DNA'

Forget waiting for ET to call -- the most likely place to find an alien message is in our DNA, according to an expert in Australia.

Professor Paul Davies, from the Australian Centre for Astrobiology at Macquarie University in Sydney, believes a cosmic greeting card could have been left in every human cell.

The coded message would only be discovered once the human race had the technology to read and understand it.

Writing in New Scientist magazine, Davies said the idea should be considered seriously.

For more than 40 years astronomers have been sweeping the skies with radio telescopes hoping to catch a signal from an alien civilisation.

So far the search has been in vain. But Davies believes it is wrong to assume that extraterrestrials who may be hundreds of millions of years ahead of us technologically will have chosen to communicate by radio.

Leaving artefacts for humans to find once they are sufficiently evolved -- like the obelisk in the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey -- might be a more attractive strategy, he said.

But ensuring the survival of such an artefact over possibly millions of years would be difficult.

A better solution would be to incorporate information into the human genome, allowing it to be copied and maintained over immense periods of time.

One way to do this might be to deliver alien viruses which could infect cells with message-laden DNA, said Davies.

Scientists have recently discovered large sequences of "junk" DNA that contain no genes and appears to be very stable.

"If ET has put a message into terrestrial organisms, this is surely where to look," said Davies.

A computer could be used to find obvious attention-grabbing patterns within these stretches of DNA, he said. If a sequence of junk units of DNA were displayed as an array of pixels on a screen and produced a simple image "the presumption of tampering would be inescapable".

The DNA code was easily big enough to contain a decent-sized novel or a potted history of the rise and fall of an alien civilisation.

Davies added: "Trying to second-guess alien communication strategies is fraught with uncertainty, so we should try everything we can afford. The truth may be out there somewhere. Or it could be a lot closer to home."

Sleepless in CA

2004-09-24T03:55:54Z

Good morning everyone... I'm wide awake and bored out of my skull, I was playing on tribe and low and behold I find others like myslef and funny even! :) What do you do when warm milk and counting sheep doesn't work? Sleep deprivation is so much fun I don't see why people need drugs, eventually I'm sure the government will limit it's use as well since they aren't making any money off of it. Can you make insomnia illegal? Harvest it for medical use only.... how would one get a liscense or permit to partake in such an illegal substance? One wonders these things when your mind is wandering and you can't put your finger on any one thought. I also think about what my special power would be if I ever became a superhero... teleportation would be awesome I think. Superman was an alien! No, I'm not 12, this is just more fun to think about than my shopping list or what to make for dinner tonight. What do you think baout when you aren't thinking? Do you remember?

A Message from Some Galactic Soul Brothers

2004-04-04T18:57:35Z

CHANGE THE WORLD!

"DECIDE WHETHER WE SHOULD SHOW UP!"

--------------

Whoever transmitted this translated message to you is irrelevant, and should remain anonymous in your mind. It is what you will do with this message which matters !

Each one of you wishes to exercise her/his free will and experience happiness.

These are attributes that were shown to us and to which we now have access. Your free will depends upon the knowledge you have of your own power. Your happiness depends upon the love that you give and receive.

Like all conscious races at this stage of progress, you may feel isolated on your planet. This impression makes you sure of your destiny. Yet, you are at the brink of big upheavals that only a minority is aware of.

It is not our responsibility to modify your future without you choosing it. Consider this message as a worldwide referendum! And your answer as a ballot!

Who are we?

Neither your scientists nor your religious representatives speak unanimously about the unexplained celestial events that mankind has witnessed for thousands of years. To know the truth, one must face it without the filter of one's beliefs, however respectable they may be.

A growing number of anonymous researchers of yours are exploring new knowledge paths and are getting very close to reality. Today, your civilisation is flooded with an ocean of information of which only a tiny part, the less upsetting one, is notably diffused.

What in your history seemed ridiculous or improbable has often become possible, then realised, in particular in the last fifty years. Be aware that the future will be even more surprising. You will discover the worst as well as the best.

Like billions others in this galaxy, we are conscious creatures that some name "extra-terrestrials", even though reality is subtler.

There is no fundamental difference between you and us, save for the experience of certain stages of evolution. Like in any other organised structure, hierarchy exists in our internal relationships. Ours is based upon the wisdom of several races. It is with the approval of this hierarchy that we turn to you.

Like most of you, we are in the quest of the Supreme Being. Therefore we are not gods or lesser gods but virtually your equals in the Cosmic Brotherhood.

Physically, we are somewhat different from you but for most of us humanoid-shaped.

Our existence is a reality but the majority of you does not perceive it yet. We are not mere observations, we are consciences just like you. You fail to apprehend us because we remain invisible to your senses and measure instruments most of the time.

We wish to fill this void at this moment in your history. We made this collective decision but this is not enough. We need yours. Through this message, you become the decision-makers ! You personally.

We have no human representative on Earth who could guide your decision.

Why aren't we visible ?

At certain stages of evolution, cosmic "humanities" discover new forms of science beyond the apparent control of matter. Structured dematerialisation and materialisation are part of them. This is what your humanity has reached in a few laboratories, in close collaboration with other "extra-terrestrial" creatures at the cost of hazardous compromises that remain purposedly hidden from you by some of your representatives.

Apart from the aerial or spatial objects or phenomena known about by your scientific community, that you call 'UFOs, there are essentially multidimensional manufactured spaceships that apply these capacities.

Many human beings have been in visual, auditory, tactile or psychic contact with such ships, some of which are under occult powers that "govern" you. The scarcity of your observations is due to the outstanding advantages provided by the dematerialised state of these ships.

By not witnessing them by yourself, you cannot believe in their existence. We fully understand this.

The majority of these observations are made on an individual basis so as to touch the soul and not to modify any organised system. This is deliberate from the races that surround you but for very different reasons and results.

For negative multidimensional beings that play a part in the exercise of power in the shadow of human oligarchy, discretion is motivated by their will to keep their existence and seizure unknown.

For us, discretion is motivated by the respect of the human free will that people can exercise to manage their own affairs so that they can reach technical and spiritual maturity on their own. Humankind's entrance into the family of galactic civilisations is greatly expected.

We can appear in broad daylight and help you attain this union. We haven't done it so far, as too few of you have genuinely desired it, because of ignorance, indifference or fear, and because the emergency of the situation did not justify it. Many of those who

study our appearances count the lights in the night without lighting the way. Often they think in terms of objects when it is all about conscious beings.

Who are you ?

You are the offspring of many traditions that throughout time have been mutually enriched by each others' contributions. The same applies to the races at the surface of the Earth. Your goal is to unite in the respect of these roots to accomplish a common project. The appearance of your cultures seems to keep you separated because you substitute it to your deeper being. Shape is now more important than the essence of your subtle nature. For the powers in place, this prevalence of the shape constitutes the ramparts against any form of jeopardy.

You are being called on to overcome shape while still respecting it for its richness and beauty. Understanding the conscience of shape makes us love men in their diversity. Peace does not mean not making war, it consists in becoming what you are in reality: a same Fraternity.

To understand this, the number of solutions within your reach are decreasing. One of them consists in contact with another race that would reflect the image of what you are in reality.

What is your situation ?

Except for rare occasions, our interventions always had very little incidence on your capacity to make collective and individual decisions about your own future. This is motivated by our knowledge of your deep psychological mechanisms.

We reached the conclusion that freedom is built every day as a being becomes aware of himself and of his environment, getting progressively rid of constraints and inertias, whatever they may be. Despite the numerous, brave and willing human consciences, those inertias are artificially maintained for the profit of a growing centralising power.

Until recently, mankind lived a satisfying control of its decisions. But it is losing more and more the control of its own fate because of the growing use of advanced technologies, which lethal consequences on the earthly and human ecosystems become irreversible. You are slowly but surely losing your extraordinary capacity to make life desirable. Your resilience will artificially decrease, independently of your own will. Such technologies exist that affect your body as well as your mind. Such plans are on their way.

This can change as long as you keep this creative power in you, even if it cohabits with the dark intentions of your potential lords. This is the reason why we remain invisible. This individual power is doomed to vanish should a collective reaction of great magnitude not happen. The period to come is that of rupture, whichever it may be.

But should you wait for the last moment to find solutions ? Should you anticipate or undergo pain ?

Your history has never ceased to be marked by encounters between peoples who had to discover one another in conditions that were often conflictual. Conquests almost always happened to the detriment of others. Earth has now become a village where everyone knows everyone else but still conflicts persist and threats of all kinds get worse in duration and intensity.

Although a Human being as an individual, yet having many potential capacities, cannot exercise them with dignity. This is the case for the biggest majority of you for reasons that are essentially geopolitical.

There are several billion of you. The education of your children and your living conditions, as well as the conditions of numerous animals and much plant life are nevertheless under the thumb of a small number of your political, financial, military and religious representatives.

Your thoughts and beliefs are modelled after partisan interests to turn you into slaves while at the same time giving you the feeling that you are in total control of your destiny, which in essence is the reality.

But there is a long way between a wish and a fact when the true rules of the game at hand are unknown. This time, you are not the conqueror. Biasing information is a millenary strategy for human beings. Inducting thoughts, emotions or organisms that do not belong to you via ad hoc technologies is an even older a strategy.

Wonderful opportunities of progress stand close to big subdual and destruction threats. These dangers and opportunities exist now. However, you can only perceive what is being shown to you. The end of natural resources is programmed whereas no long-term collective project has been launched.

Ecosystem exhaustion mechanisms have exceeded irreversible limits. The scarcity of resources and their unfair distribution - resources which entry price will rise day after day - will bring about fratricide fights at a large scale, but also at the very heart of your cities and countrysides.

Hatred grows bigger but so does love. That is what keeps you confident in your ability to find solutions. But the critical mass is insufficient and a sabotage work is cleverly being carried out.

Human behaviours, formed from past habits and trainings, have such an inertia that this perspective leads you to a dead end. You entrust these problems to representatives, whose conscience of common well-being slowly fades away in front of corporatist interests, with those difficulties. They are always debating on the form but rarely on the content.

Just at the moment of action, delays will accumulate to the point when you have to submit rather than choose. This is the reason why, more than ever in your history, your decisions of today will directly and significantly impact your survival of tomorrow.

What event could radically modify this inertia that is typical of any civilisation ? Where will a collective and unifying awareness come from, that will stop this blind rushing ahead ?

Tribes, populations and human nations have always encountered and interacted with one another. Faced with the threats weighing upon the human family, it is perhaps time that a greater interaction occurred.

A great roller wave is on the verge of emerging. It mixes very positive but also very negative aspects.

Who are the "third party" ?

There are two ways to establish a cosmic contact with another civilisation: via its standing representatives or directly with individuals without distinction. The first way entails fights of interests, the second way brings awareness.

The first way was chosen by a group of races motivated by keeping mankind in slavery, thereby controlling Earth resources, the gene pool and human emotional energy.

The second way was chosen by a group of races allied with the cause of the Spirit of service. We have, at our end, subscribed to this disinterested cause and introduced ourselves a few years ago to representatives of the human power who refused our outstretched hand on the pretext of incompatible interests with their strategic vision.

That is why today individuals are to make this choice by themselves without any representative interfering. What we proposed in the past to those whom we believed were in a capacity to contribute to your happiness, we propose it now to ... you!

Most of you ignore that non-human creatures took part in the exercise of those centralising powers without them being neither suspected nor accessible to your senses. This is so true that they have almost very subtly taken control. They do not necessarily stand on your material plan, and that is precisely what could make them extremely efficient and frightening in the near future. However, be aware that a large number of your representatives are fighting this danger ! Be aware that not all abductions are made against you. It is difficult to recognize the truth !

How could you under such conditions exercise your free will when it is so much manipulated ? What are you really free of ?

Peace and reunification of your peoples would be a first step toward the harmony with civilisations other than yours.

That is precisely what those who manipulate you behind the scenes want to avoid at all cost because, by dividing, they reign! They also reign over those who govern you. Their strength comes from their capacity to distillate mistrust and fear into you. This considerably harms your very cosmic nature.

This message would be of no interest if these manipulators' tutorate did not reach its peak and if their misleading and murderous plans did not materialise in a few years from now. Their deadlines are close and mankind will undergo unprecedented torments for the next ten cycles.

To defend yourselves against this aggression that bears no face, you need at least to have enough information that leads to the solution.

As is also the case with humans, resistance exists amongst those dominant races. Here again, appearance will not be enough to tell the dominator from the ally. At your current state of psychism, it is extremely difficult for you to distinguish between them. In addition to your intuition, training will be necessary when the time has come.

Being aware of the priceless value of free will, we are inviting you to an alternative.

What can we offer ?

We can offer you a more holistic vision of the universe and of life, constructive interactions, the experience of fair and fraternal relationships, liberating technical knowledge, eradiction of suffering, controlled exercise of individual powers, the access to new forms of energy and, finally, a better comprehension of consciousness.

We cannot help you overcome your individual and collective fears, or bring you laws that you would not have chosen, work on your own selves, individual and collective effort to build the world you desire, the spirit of quest to new skies.

What would we receive ?

Should you decide that such a contact takes place, we would rejoice over the safeguarding of fraternal equilibrium in this region of the universe, fruitful diplomatic exchanges, and the intense Joy of knowing that you are united to accomplish what you are capable of. The feeling of Joy is strongly sought in the universe for its energy is divine.

What is the question we ask you ?

"DO YOU WISH THAT WE SHOW UP ?"

How to can you answer this question ?

The truth of soul can be read by telepathy. You only need to clearly ask yourself this question and give your answer as clearly, on your own or in a group, as you wish. Being in the heart of a city or in the middle of a desert does not impact the efficiency of your answer, YES or NO, IMMEDIATELY AFTER ASKING THE QUESTION! Just do it as if you were speaking to yourself but thinking about the message.

This is a universal question and these mere few words, put in their context, have a powerful meaning. You should not let hesitation in the way. This is why you should calmly think about it, in all conscience. In order to perfectly associate your answer with the question, it is recommended that you answer right after another reading of this message.

Do not rush to answer. Breathe and let all the power of your own free will penetrate you. Be proud of what you are ! The problems that you may have weaken you. Forget about them for a few minutes to be yourselves. Feel the force that springs up in you. You are in control of yourselves !

A single thought, a single answer can drastically change your near future, in one way as in another.

Your individual decision of asking in your inner self that we show up on your material plan and in broad daylight is precious and essential to us.

Even though you can choose the way that best suits you, rituals are essentially useless. A sincere request made with your heart and your own will will always be perceived by those of us whom it is sent to.

In your own private polling booth of your secret will, you will determine the future.

What is the lever effect ?

This decision should be made by the greatest number among you, even though it might seem like a minority. It is recommended to spread this message, in all envisageable fashions, in as many languages as possible, to those around you, whether or not they seem receptive to this new vision of the future.

Do it using in a humorous tone or derision if that can help you. You can even openly and publicly make fun of it if it makes you feel more comfortable but do not be indifferent for at least you will have exercised your free will.

Forget about the false prophets and the beliefs that have been transmitted to you about us. This request is one of the most intimate that can be asked to you.

Making a decision by yourself, as an individual, is your right as well as your responsibility !

Passivity only leads to the absence of freedom. Similarly, indecision is never efficient. If you really want to cling to your beliefs, which is something that we understand, then say NO. If you do not know what to choose, do not say YES because of mere curiosity. This is not a show, this is real daily life, WE ARE ALIVE ! And living !

Your history has plenty of episodes when determined men and women were able to influence the thread of events in spite of their small number.

Just like a small number is enough to take temporal power on Earth and influence the future of the majority, a small number of you can radically change your fate as an answer to the impotence in face of so much inertia and hurdles ! You can ease the mankind's birth to Brotherhood.

One of your thinkers once said: "Give me a hand-hold and I'll raise the Earth".

Spreading this message will then be the hand-hold to strengthen, we will be the light-years long lever, you will be the craftsmen to ... raise the Earth as a consequence of our appearance.

What would be the consequences of a positive decision ?

For us, the immediate consequence of a collective favourable decision would be the materialisation of many ships, in your sky and on Earth.

For you, the direct effect would be the rapid abandoning of many certitudes and beliefs.

A simple conclusive visual contact would have huge repercussions on your future. Much knowledge would be modified forever. The organisation of your societies would be deeply upheaved for ever, in all fields of activity. Power would become individual because you would see for yourself that we are living. Concretely, you would change the scale of your values !

The most important thing for us is that humankind would form a single family in front of this "unknown" we would represent !

Danger would slowly melt away from your homes because you would indirectly force the undesirable ones, those we name the "third party", to show up and vanish. You would all bear the same name and share the same roots: Mankind !

Later on, peaceful and respectful exchanges would be thus possible if such is your wish. For now, he who is hungry cannot smile, he who is fearful cannot welcome us. We are sad to see men, women and children suffering to such a degree in their flesh and in their hearts when they bear such an inner light.

This light can be your future. Our relationships could be progressive.

Several stages of several years or decades would occur: demonstrative appearance of our ships, physical appearance beside human beings, collaboration in your technical and spiritual evolution, discovery of parts of the galaxy.

Every time, new choices would be offered to you. You would then decide by yourself to cross new stages if you think it necessary to your external and inner well-being. No interference would be decided upon unilaterally. We would leave as soon as you would collectively wish that we do.

Depending upon the speed to spread the message across the world, several weeks, or even several months will be necessary before our "great appearance", if such is the decision made by the majority of those who will have used their capacity to choose, and if this message receives the necessary support.

The main difference between your daily prayers to entities of a strictly spiritual nature and your current decision is extremely simple :

we are technically equipped to materialise!

Why such a historical dilemma ?

We know that "foreigners" are considered as enemies as long as they embody the "unknown". In a first stage, the emotion that our appearance will generate will strengthen your relationships on a worldwide scale.

How could you know whether our arrival is the consequence of your collective choice ? For the simple reason that we would have otherwise been already there for a long time at your level of existence ! If we are not there yet, it is because you have not made such a decision explicitely.

Some among you might think that we would make you believe in a deliberate choice of yours so as to legitimate our arrival, though this would not be true. What interest would we have to openly offer you what you haven't got any access to yet, for the benefit of the greatest number of you ?

How could you be certain that this is not yet another subtle manoeuvre of the "third party" to better enslave you ? Because one always more efficiently fights something that is identified than the contrary. Isn't the terrorism that corrodes you a blatant example ?

Whatever, you are the sole judge in your own heart and soul ! Whatever your choice, it would be respectable and respected ! In the absence of human representatives who could potentially seduce into error you ignore everything about us as well as from about those who manipulate you without your consent.

In your situation, the precautionary principle that consists in not trying to discover us does no longer prevail. You are already in the Pandora's box that the "third party" has created around you. Whatever your decision may be you will have to get out of it.

In the face of such a dilemma, one ignorance against another, you need to ask your intuition. Do you want to see us with your own eyes, or simply believe what your thinkers say ? That is the real question!

After thousands of years, one day, this choice was going to be inevitable: choosing between two unknowns.

Why spread such a message among yourselves ?

Translate and spread this message widely. This action will affect your future in an irreversible and historical way at the scale of milleniums, otherwise, it will postpone a new opportunity to choose to several years later, at least one generation, if it can survive.

Not choosing, stands for undergoing other people's choice. Not informing others stands for running the risk of obtaining a result that is contrary to one's expectations. Remaining indifferent means giving up one's free will.

It is all about your future. It is all about your evolution.

It is possible that this invitation does not receive your collective assent and that, because of a lack of information, it will be disregarded. Nevertheless no individual desire goes unheeded in the universe.

Imagine our arrival tomorrow. Thousands of ships. A unique cultural shock in today's mankind's history. It will then be too late to regret about not making a choice and spreading the message because this discovery will be irreversible. We do insist that you do not rush into it, but do think about it ! And decide !

The big medias will not be necessarely interested in spreading this message. It is therefore your task, as an anonymous yet an extraordinary thinking and loving being, to transmit it.

You are still the architects of your own fate...

"DO YOU WISH THAT WE SHOW UP ?"

you are free to publish, reproduce and copy this message as you like !

on the contrary, you are invited to do it...

but don't modify or cut the message, please.

is there anything that triggers your insomnia, where afterwards you just know you're not going to be able to sleep that night?Sometimes beer does it for me (but not always...weird, eh?), sometimes seeing someone I am not getting along with does it, and the obvious one of drinking caffeine late in the day. Other times, it's just pure stress about one thing or another.

I MIGHT be able to drift off if I go to bed now.. or I could just put on some clothes and get my ass to the local eating establishment at 6am when it opens.

hhhmmmmm..... decisions.. decisions...

Former Ambien User

2004-02-07T03:45:47Z

Back in the ninties I became depressed. I have always been a "night" person, but suddenly I could not sleep at all - night or day! I went on Prozac but still couldn't sleep, unless I dropped off awhile from sheer exaustion. My Doc prescribed Ambien. What a miracle! Took 2 of those and fell asleep for 5 hrs. After a month of depression my ability to sleep did not return. I stayed on Ambien every night for almost 3 years. One night I went without and slept 3 hrs. Gradually tapered off for a week. Then nothing. I havn't used it since. The best thing about it is "no hangover" when you wake up. My wife now needs it every night, but our present Doc renews her perscription only every 30 days, not for 90 which is cheaper. He is afraid he might get into trouble with a 90 day perscription.
I never felt addicted to Ambien. I just required something then and was fortunate to have it when I needed it.
I am still a light sleeper. A constant sound like falling rain will drop me right off. I bought a MindScapes AM/FM clock radio with 10 nature sounds last year on sale at the Drug store. I put it on a "steady" sound like rain or waterfall each nite. It is turned just loud 'nuff to cover outside noises, etc. Works like a charm for me.
I hope this wasn't too long!

Ultra-Left Marxist Theory of a Different Sort
Eastern Europe has always exerted a certain fascination upon me. As a teenager, I was obsessed ith the real historical persona behind Bram Stoker's Dracula character (Vlad the Impaler), as well as Countess Bathory, who used to bathe in the blood of virgins. (Yeah, death-metal was more of a formative influence than I'd like to admit) Later on, as a young Marxist, I became absorbed in studying the history and culture of the people of Hungary. I had a desire to discover exactly what it was in the air at that time (1958, naturally) that led the Hungarian working-class to rise against Soviet imperialism and colonialism and fight for direct worker's control of their workshops and the almost total abolition of the wage system (within a national context). These notions were, of course, properly 'communist,' but went completely against the grain of the dominant socialist ideologies at the time. I never did come up with a theory before my hormones kicked in and I discovered healthier obsessions for a lad my age. Mind you, when Vaclav Havel, a former memeber of a Zappaesque prog-rock group, rose to political prominence and eventually seized power in Czechoslovakia, I once again took notice of those kooky eastern Europeans. Just what in the name of the Goddess did they put in the drinking water over there?

Well, recently I came across this little article, thanks to a link from the might Cathy at Peking O. It's about a Czechoslovakian composer who gets his inspiration from mushrooms. By that I don't mean that he goes out to sit amongst the mushrooms then goes home to write the music he hears in his head after this period of contemplative bliss. Nope. It seems that mushrooms grow everywhere in this part of the world, so going out to pick them is a popular and widespread cultural activity there. This man, whose name is Vaclav Halek, claims that one day on such trek with a friend he was quite amazed to discover that the mushrooms actually sang melodies to him that only he can hear. I shit you not. So, it's a simple matter of him going out to sit amongst the profusion of wild fungi with his notebook and transcribing on the spot the melodies the mushrooms sing to him. The man has written a series of pieces ranging from film scores to full symphonies that he attributes not to his native compositional talent, but to the beloved mushrooms of his homeland.

And finally, after all these years a theory is beginning to suggest itself...

WTF?

2004-01-30T09:44:08Z

I was an insomniac when I was a kid, I couldn't fall asleep without being in bed with my mom, this lasted until I was 11, which I know is a little old... then I was an insomniac all through high school. In college I met the first girl I felt comfortable falling asleep with, and I managed to sleep pretty well the whole time I was with her, but now I am single and sleeping alone again and my insomnia is BACK and I'm too poor to afford ambien (and if I had it I'd just end up using it recreationally) so now the only way I can sleep is to drink (valerian just makes me paranoid, not sleepy) and I'm becoming mildly alcoholic... sh*t. Any suggestions, other than the obvious (find another girlfriend)?

Morons in Space

2004-01-30T09:13:59Z

Morons in Space
Not surprisingly, many space enthusiasts, as well as more casually interested observers, are quite excited about George W. Bush's recent announcement that the U.S. plans to commit $50-150 billion dollars to its space program. This announcement has been a timely one, indeed, for the Bush administration. The growing domestic opposition to his foreign policy in Iraq coupled with the fact that the much ballyhooed period of economic growth experienced by the U.S. has been a jobless one has made it necessary for Dubya to razzle-dazzle the electorate in an elction year with starry-eyed plans to revisit the moon, establish permanent bases there, and to undertake a bold and daring mission to Mars. Anyone the least bit interested in space exploration would quite naturally be hard-pressed to contain their excitement at such prospects. A closer examination of U.S. space policy reveals a far more insidious picture, though.

Despite all the self-serving feel-good rhetoric that will undoubtedly emanate from the White House and NASA over the coming months and years, U.S. space policy is becoming more blatantly orinted toward the militarization of space, not the more benign aims of research and exploration in the common interests of humanity. Both the Soviet Union and China have made overtures towards the U.S. to begin formulating a treaty that would ban the proliferation of weapons in space. Imperialist powers themselves, their motivations have more to do with the fact that neither country can afford an expensive arms race in space, otherwise their policy directives would likely mirror those of the U.S. Still, the opportunity to extend the lines of cooperation to keep the gravity-well between the Earth and the Moon weapon-free IS there. Bush's line, however, has been that there are currently no weapons in space and thus no need to begin negotiations.

Meanwhile, the Strategic Defence Initiative steams ahead. There have been a number of embarrassing technological mishaps and cost overrun embarrassments. Bush's "solution" has been to increase funding and make all future testing top-secret (how's that for democracy?). And, the U.S. has committed $4.8 billion to create a line of sleek new space-planes to replace the shuttle-fleet. When these beauties are unveiled before the eyes of the human community, it should be kept in mind that they are designed to attack and destroy the satellites of any potential rivals or enemies of the U.S. in space. So, there may be no weapons in space at the now, but these initiatives, as well as the recent agreement on the part of NASA, the NRO (National Reconnaisance Office), the U.S. Strategic Command and the Airforce to integrate their research and development efforts are all powerful indicators that there will be in the future. The creation of Project Prometheus, a highly dangerous and expensive plan to launch a nuclear rocket into space is particularly ominous.

The fact that the U.S. has made it clear that it will not tolerate any challenges to its hegemony in space also doesn't bode very well for humanity's prospects for peace in the heavens. The presence of Helium-3, a fuel that is bountiful on the moon and a potential replacement for dwindling and thus costly fossil-fuels on Earth, have corporate interests in the U.S. drooling at the prospect of a monopoly. So, within hours of China's triumphant foray into the cosmos in 2003, the U.S. had already begun sabre-rattling. Instead of congratulating them on becoming only the third nation in history to become space-capable, several prominent figures within the U.S. military-industrial complex made gloomy predictions about outer-space becoming the site of a future showdown between the space superpowers. Even science-writer Lawrence Joseph predicted in the pages of the New York Times that the moon would become the Persian Gulf of the 21st Century.

These three highly informative pieces featuring space activist Bruce Gagnon go into further detail regarding how state and corporate interests in the U.S. are colluding to ensure that outer-space becomes not a realm for exploration and discovery for the possible benefit of humanity, but a militarized zone that will allow them to further consolidate their control on the planetary economy and its attendant work/war machine, as well as extend its rapacious logic to the stars:

Mindfulness Vs. Sleeplessness

2004-01-28T18:44:05Z

Nothing like Las Vegas to blow your sleep cycle to smithereens.

As a travelling performing artist, I spend many many nights in strange hotel rooms, and I've this problemn when I go on tour.... I can't stand sleeping in a different bed each night.

Actually, that's just a justification.

In reality, I seem to have always had an insomniac's schedule. My most creative time is between 11pm and 4am.

To what do I owe this circadian inversion? Am I part-vampire? Nope, my parents are too geeky to come out of some Anne Rice novel. Am I permanently imprinted with the energetic essence of caffeine? Do I fear the sandman? Or am I really that interested in the patterning of the stucco on the ceiling under the chiaroscuro lighting coming thru the venetian blinds?

What's YOUR excuse? Can I borrow it? Just for one night?

Sleepy in Seattle

2004-01-07T20:03:56Z

Hi,

I just joined tribe.net, and this group in particular, and man am I tired...

I visited family for the holidays; at first in NYC/Jersey, then Hailey Idaho, and finally Boise Idaho. My sleep schedule changed dramatically with each new town...

I couldn't sleep at all in Jersey. Not only am I an incredible insomniac, but at the time I also had a getting up at 6:00 AM two year old to deal with. The visit was fun overall but hellish for my sleep schedule.

Hailey was another story... My mother had some Lorazipam that she let me use. WOW! Did I sleep or what? I've heard that stuff's pretty addictive, but man I wish it wasn't. I took some at midnight and by 12:30 I was passed out cold... Every night.

It was beautiful, to say the least. I eagerly awaited sleep every night and (although I don't remember it really) was overcome by joy as I finally passed out.

But then there was the jarring reality of Boise. I was back to being an insomniac, sleeping on a futon in a bright morning living room in an apartment with paper thin walls. And, of course, I was going through minor lorazipam withdrawals... Not too cool.

Finally I returned to my normal insomnia when I got back to Seattle... I flew in late, picked up my girlfriend at the airport even later, went to some Burning Man fundraiser at a club, rolled, went to a friend's house until five in the morning, slept for a couple of hours, went to my first day of school, worked a graveyard shift stayed up all day, went to trivia at a bar in Lake City, got drunk, and passed the fuck out. I am now awake, six hours later, and heading back to class.

I can't tell if I enjoyed my vacation or my time back in Seattle more. I can't even really tell if it was an actual vacation. All I know is that for a few days I actually slept, frolicking in the deep slumber of forgotten dreams and prescription drug hangovers...

Insomnia is fucked up.
So are vacations.
So are two year olds.
So are narcotics.
So am I.

so I could watch when I can't sleep. These posts are some of the funniest things I've read in a long time, of course that might be cause I'm sleep deprived. Gwen makes me laugh with the dryness of it all and MsSpell is fabulous and the chica who's fighting the purple spots helped me spew water thru my nose. Every one is great, great, great.
So it's 12:40pm PST, I've been up all night, part of me says go to bed now but then I'll just start the cycle all over again.
Here's the thing I don't know if I'm really an insomaniac, I think I'm just a vampire. I don't like to waste the night sleeping. My brain is happier than at day. I spend most of the day trying to become fully awake/aware even when I've had lots of sleep and then as the night falls I can particularly feel the gears shifting into over drive.
2-6am is my favourite of 'day'. I do my best writing then. It's been that way since I was child. Which is also when I realised that I was alien. I convinced everyone that I was from the planet Xtranova. Six and I'm telling strangers this. *laugh* Could describe it and everything, of course now I know it's cause it wasn't a dream *grin*
anyways thank goddess for tribe and alien insomniacs everywhere.

In Space No One Can Hear You Vote Republican

2003-12-28T23:20:43Z

In Space No One Can Hear You Vote Republican
Having recently come across a rather bountiful supply of high-quality rocket-fuel, we here in AAA Insurgent Cosmos are forced to admit that we haven't been paying as much attention to gravi-capital's recent imperialist adventure in Iraq as more terrestrial-minded revolutionaries. We've been far too busy exploring the myriad possibilities of independent, autonomous space-travel to follow the endless spins of the war-machine's all-pervasive propaganda apparatus. It goes without saying, though, that as at least somewhat earth-bound radicals, the more it tries to justify this unjustifiable war, the more outraged we are at seeing the natural organic unity of the human community desecrated further by elite interests once again.

We've also been busy following the situation in China with keen interest. Sadly enough, the recent forays into the cosmos on the part of a so-called "socialist" regime are likely to create a future scenario that allows the fascist forces of the right and the crypto-fascist forces of the left to collude and thus consolidate further their insidious monopoly on space-travel. The thought of humanity being held hostage yet again under the auspices of a new Cold War in space only serves to add fuel to our insurrectionary fire...which is another rant, of course. But, as you can see, having your head in the stars while having your feet planted firmly on the earth can be exhausting at times.

One event occurred recently, however, while gravi-capital's commander-in-chief was visiting his sycophantic understudy Tony Blair in England that quickly snapped our attention back planet-side. Faced with the international embarrassment of approximately 100 000 protestors marching through the streets of London in "honour" of his visit, good old Dubya committed the type of oratorical blunder that it seems American politicians are renowned for. After claiming that the military excursion in Iraq would usher in a wave of democracy in the Middle East, he got carried away with himself and actually called for an international democratic revolution (!!).

The slip, which must have made his PR men cringe, seems to have largely gone uncommented upon by gravi-capital's mainstream media. This is hardly surprising to us. We were, conveniently enough, reminded several times of how "lucky" we were to live in such a free and democratic society, where people are allowed to express even views that run counter to those of the State (and have them summarily ignored, incidentally). However, if Bush's inadvertent admission that Western-style representative democracy weren't enough, a more critical examination of the concept could possibly undermine gravi-capital's interests not only in Iraq, but in every nation on the planet.

The representative forms of democracy so loudly trumpeted by Bush and Blair is the democracy of elites. It is the process whereby the agents of gravi-capital robs those who live behind the walls of its various competing nation-states of their ability to both make the decisions that affect their lives and to effect desired changes in their immediate environments. In exchange for the dubious honour of having an extremely limited say in the political arena every four years or so, we surrender the right to have a voice in the countless affairs of everyday life that affect us in the interim, as well as in the other spheres of life. Electing affluent elites to govern over our lives and submitting to their rule of law, we are excluded from having any decision-making power in the broader social realm, such as the world of work, education, and applied technology (to name a few). Moreover, the nearly uniform and prefabricated platforms these elites devise for us allows them to both choose and limit our options for us. So, is it any wonder that he creation of genuine alternatives to the current social reality appears to be almost impossible? Along with everything else, gravi-capital has become the king of "that's-just-the-way-it-is." This overall dynamic epitomizes our collective and individual alienation as gravi-capital has monopolized control over almost all aspects of life, transforming life on earth into a planetary prison-house. A world dominated by war, poverty, and the dreary, meaningless slavery of waged-labour is the result, despite the fact that the vast majority of the planet's inhabitants desire something altogether different.

Clearly then, like so many of the other central concepts that earth-bound society in its dotage operates on, democracy has become formal rhetoric, a meaningless term used to mask ulterior motives and interests. Even in the West, most people hold professional politicians and the system they represent in such utter contempt that the media spectacle has to launch massive propaganda campaigns in order to cajole a disaffected electorate into voting. This doesn't stop voter turn-out from plummeting in most "advanced" industrialized nations. Meanwhile, in gravi-capital's colonies (known popularly as the developing world), people have to either submit to outright tyranny or be led by gunpoint to the ballot-box to elect whatever regional warlord who has amassed the most military backing from competing imperialist masters. The burgeoning resistance on the part of the Iraqis to the imposition of gravi-capital's much-vaunted "democracy" may, in fact, be another sign that all over the planet the sheep are beginning to look up (to paraphrase AAA forerunner John Brunner).

The nascent and near-universal disgust with the democratic illusion will only prove fruitful, however, if it is the starting-point for the creation of alternatives. We here in AAA Insurgent Cosmos, like George W. Bush, also hope to see an international democratic revolution, albeit of a radically different sort. We'd like to see flower a movement that involves everyday people around the world bypassing gravi-capital's politicos, bosses, and bureaucrats to take direct control of their workplaces, communities, and their natural environment in its totality. It is time that the people of this planet translated their current apathy towards blatant tyranny and desecrated forms of democracy into the creation of decision-making processes that are consensual, direct, and participatory. And, if these structures are respectful of the principles of decentralization and autonomy, we could create a truly free planetary democracy worthy of the name.

That would be a monumental step towards abolishing the iron-grip of gravi-capital over our lives and the environment we live in. And maybe then we could also end its insidious control over space-travel, and thereby empower each and every person on the planet to explore their destiny among the stars. Never being ones to think small, we here in AAA Insurgent Cosmos are going to actually call for a radically different democratic revolution, one that is not just international but cosmic in scope. All that grade-A rocket-fuel must have enhanced our visionary prowess. So, we hope to see you in space, cosmonaut...where there are no ballot boxes.

Tribute to Jacques Camatte

2003-11-29T00:14:54Z

Tribute to Jacques Camatte
The always intriguing French ultra-left Marxist Jacques Camatte seemed to feel that if there was ever going to be a revolution of the sort envisioned by so many traditional leftists, it was not likely to take place in the exact way they imagined. According to traditional notions of Marxist-inspired thought, the international industrial proletariat was supposed to, in a relatively instantaneous fashion, organize itself in order to directly confront and destroy state power, while simultaneously seizing control of society's productive apparatus and beginning to socialize it. Camatte, however, felt that this was a pipe-dream, an outdated and leftover vision of 19th century rationalism. In fact, he felt that there was absolutely no need for self-defined revolutionaries to waste their energies organizing in order to instigate for and effect the social changes they wished to see occur. As the torturously oppressive conditions of life created by capital became more widespread and universally felt in their myriad forms, people would naturally and largely unself-consciously begin to resist them and begin to gradually transform human culture in its entirety.

Naturally, many revolutionaries and activists find his position irksome because it clearly negates their influence and diminishes the importance of the activities undertaken by most revolutionary groups. He insisted that, independently of the various ideological "mafias," the revolution was already underway, its transformative power churning constantly just below the visible threshold of our increasingly global culture, latent in repressed human desire. And whereas most socialist agitators confined their critiques and activities to the realm of political economy, Camatte, in contrast, felt that the revolution would be, indeed MUST be, total and abolish the burgeoning dominance of capital over the collective life and being of humanity in all its aspects. His vision certainly encompassed the more materialistic socio-political realm, but also extended to seemingly apolitical arenas of human activity as the cultural and spiritual. It was his ultimate assertion that the real communist revolution would be so profound in its implications that it would be cosmic in scope.

We in AAA Insurgent Cosmos salute this largely forgotten theorist and visonary, whom we regard as a seminal influence, a spiritual predecessor and advisor, and a cosmic comrade worthy of a revival. The brief preamble above hardly does any justice at all to the scope and originality of his thought. For more of his writings on the web, please see:

another sleepless night

2003-09-29T01:46:45Z

thanks to my computer addiction and screwed up internal clock. tick tock tock tock...

i really need to get my act together. i actually have a lot to live for, but sometimes it just seems like it's all slipping away, that everybody either hates me or is just trying to use me, that i'm too crazy and paranoid to trust anybody anymore, etc.

i'm sure you've heard it all before. sorry for being a drag.

These are the voyages of the sparkleship Dementerprize. Its five night Mission...to explore the same old world through tired eyes, slowly burning. To find new life in old cliches. To coldly blow it, and then send someone out to go get more...

STARE TWEAK

up again

2003-09-08T22:27:00Z

i might have to start watching those commercials for "ask your doctor about new ..." with some catchy made up marketing word for the latest cure for who knows what from the commercials.

someone said they didn't know about burning man before coming on tribe and i thought "what planet are you from?" any one see aliens as part of the beyond belief?

reminiscing

2003-09-08T08:41:12Z

I was going thru all my old emails from a year or so ago, and realised how much i've forgotten or misremembered about my relationships with some of my friends, and felt kind of regretful that I haven't been in touch with a lot of them lately. Do you ever find yourself doing that?

I know the day will come when I will have to go back to my home planet, but I don't want to leave my friends behind. If I can, I think I'll kidnap them and take them all with me.

The Martians are coming!

2003-09-05T08:57:01Z

August 27th, Mars will be the closest to earth than it's been in over 60,000 years. We should at least throw them a party (what do martians like to do for fun anyway?).

As the school year has started (I'm a teacher), I've been trying to get to bed early, and ahve been mostly successful. Yay for me.

My dentist is conspiring to ruin this trend, though- worried about my nocturnal teeth-grinding (I've aparently worn most of the enamal away from my teeth), he fitted me with one of those "Night-Guard" things, which is making it really fricking difficult to sleep. So it looks like I'll have some relevant stuff to post here in the future. Yay! And boo! (but only in the sense that I'll be ridiculously tired for a few weeks while I adjust to sleeping with this plastic lump in my mouth).

my brain

2003-09-03T10:08:23Z

feels like a floppy disk... not the 3.5" one but the old 5" ones which actually were floppy. Remember those? Took up a lot of space, but retained so little information.

I smell the distinct odor of jam on hot toast, but I've no idea where it's coming from. Oh well, I suppose there are worse things I could smell... like iguana breath.

WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE IGUANA.

Okay?

Rock on.

Insomnophobia

2003-09-02T07:58:17Z

Insomnophobia.

This is what I have.

It's not true insomnia like one would expect.

The thing is, I used to have insomnia.

I don't anymore.

But, I'm afraid I'll get it again.

So much so it keeps me up at night.

re: so cool

2003-09-01T08:29:45Z

you can also get into friendster at this hour. not that you'd need to. but hypothetically. and i can catch up on my email. ugh.

and the grocery stores not crowded.

just saw a racoon eating out of the cat dish. wilderness, wildlife spottings.

i'm sure there is some benefit to being on a different schedule.

Light at the end of the funnel

2003-08-26T17:57:59Z

Phew... looks like I can finally see the end of my summer-long computer project, for the last class I need to be able to graduate. I'll probably be up all night (which is the norm now) writing up the test document. Then I'll finally be free!
