Greek philosophers Plato and Pythagoras were the first ones to assign a set value to geometry and concluded that geometry forms the basis principle in the arrangement of the world and the universe. Having said that, the Egyptians, Maya and other ancient cultures long before their time built their sanctuaries according to these geometric proportions. Because of the unmatched beauty and harmony of these perfect proportions the geometric patterns that reoccur in nature with great regularity are called Sacred Geometry.
The universe is shaped according to set geometric proportions. The perhaps most famous example is the Golden Ratio, a special geometric value that occurs everywhere on earth. These mathematical proportions can be recognised in everything: from the atoms and the stars to manmade architectural structures. Our brain recognises Sacred Geometric shapes and forms at subconscious level. This innate knowledge is a universal part of the human brain and leads inevitably to the fact that people tend to experience certain emotions when concentrating on these shapes. The brain, however, doesn’t always recognise where this is coming from, because geometry enters the subconscious mind in an unfiltered manner.
Some simple examples of Sacred Geometric shapes are, amongst others, the circle, and the sphere the Golden Ratio. More complex forms are for example the five Platonic Solids: Tetrahedron – Hexahedron (cube) – Octahedron – Dodecahedron – Icosahedron. The water clusters in our body, for example, are organised according to this norm. Our subconscious mind recognises these forms by itself, even when we are usually not aware of this.

UFO Sweden releases 18,000 Swedish UFO reports to the public domain
http://www.examiner.com/x-2024-Denver-UFO-Examiner~y2009m5d6-UFO-Sweden-releases-18000-swedish-UFO-reports-to-the-public-domain
Breaking News! UFO Sweden is releasing thousands of UFO files beginning May 9-10, 2009, according to a news story in the Swedish online news magazine, Expressen.
Translation of the story was provided by Torbjorn Sassersson, Director of Exopolitics Sweden and editor of Soul Travel Magazine. Sassersson's translation states that:
Besides the 18,000 Swedish cases are thousands of cases from Denmark and other Nordic countries. Thousands of US cases on micro film are also included. The archive (Norrkoping) will be open to the public domain starting May 9-10, 2009.
The chairman of UFO Sweden, Clas Svahn, mentions one case of special interest, a case from 1980. A cigar shaped UFO submerged itself into a mountain lake and never came up again, according to witnesses. Svahn comments, ''it may still be there, since the lake has never been monitored by divers.''

Leaked Agenda: Bilderberg Group Plans Economic Depression
·Elitists divided on whether to quickly sink economy and replace it with new world order, or set in motion long, agonizing depression.
http://www.prisonplanet.com/leaked-agenda-bilderberg-group-plans-economic-depression.html
http://www.prisonplanet.com/leaked-agenda-bilderberg-group-plans-economic-depression.html
On the eve of the 2009 Bilderberg Group conference, which is due to be held May 14-17 at the 5 star Nafsika Astir Palace Hotel in Vouliagmeni, Greece, investigative reporter Daniel Estulin has uncovered shocking details of what the elitists plan to do with the economy over the course of the next year.
The Bilderberg Group meeting is an annual confab of around 150 of the world’s most influential powerbrokers in government, industry, banking, media, academia and the military-industrial complex. The secretive group operates under “Chatham House rules,” meaning that no details of what is discussed can ever be leaked to the media, despite editors of the world’s biggest newspapers, the Washington Post, the New York Times and the Financial Times, being present at the meeting.
According to Estulin’s sources, which have been proven highly accurate in the past, Bilderberg is divided on whether to put into motion, “Either a prolonged, agonizing depression that dooms the world to decades of stagnation, decline and poverty … or an intense-but-shorter depression that paves the way for a new sustainable economic world order, with less sovereignty but more efficiency.”
The information takes on added weight when one considers the fact that Estulin’s previous economic forecasts, which were based on leaks from the same sources, have proven deadly accurate. Estulin correctly predicted the housing crash and the 2008 financial meltdown as a result of what his sources inside Bilderberg told him the elite were planning based on what was said at their 2006 meeting in Canada and the 2007 conference in Turkey.

NASA rescue mission aims to revive Hubble Telescope
http://www.usatoday.com/tech/science/space/2009-05-06-hubble_N.htm
The Hubble Space Telescope, one of the greatest scientific instruments of all time, is about to get an extreme makeover — an overhaul so delicate and risky that NASA astronaut John Grunsfeld likens it to "brain surgery."
At 19 years old, the famous telescope is showing its age. Three of its scientific instruments are broken. Half of its six gyroscopes, which keep the Hubble pointed in the right direction, aren't working. And its batteries are slowly dying.
The seven-member crew of space shuttle Atlantis is scheduled to blast off Monday in an attempt to fix it.
It will be the fifth, final and most difficult mission to service the Hubble — a mission that was judged so risky to astronauts it was canceled in 2004 before safety precautions were added to ease the concerns.
If the work succeeds, it will mean a glorious rebirth of the Hubble. The telescope would be 90 times more powerful than when it was launched in 1990. If the mission fails, astronomy's crown jewel could become a $6.9 billion "piece of space junk" with no chance to save it, astronaut and mission commander Scott Altman says.

El Parlamento Europeo veta la desconexión de internet sin orden judicial
http://www.elperiodico.com/default.asp?idpublicacio_PK=46&idioma=CAS&idnoticia_PK=610203&idseccio_PK=1012
El Parlamento Europeo aprobó ayer por una aplastante mayoría de 407 votos a favor, 57 en contra y 171 abstenciones una enmienda que prohíbe cortar el suministro a internet sin una orden judicial previa. La firme toma de posición de la Eurocámara supone un duro revés para los planes de algunos países, entre ellos Francia, que pretenden imponer por vía administrativa y sin decisión judicial la supresión del acceso a la red a todas aquellas personas sospechosas de descargarse copias de discos o películas ilegales.
Los grupos liberal y verdes lograron que se sometiera a votación la enmienda sobre esta parte crucial y polémica del paquete legislativo de telecomunicaciones. Esto desbarató las maniobras de los grupos popular y socialista para escamotear la votación mediante un subterfugio de procedimiento para salvar sin cambios el pacto alcanzado con los Veintisiete sobre la nueva legislación.
La enmienda aprobada establece que "no cabe imponer restricción alguna a los derechos y libertades fundamentales de los usuarios finales sin una resolución previa de las autoridades judiciales". Al someterse a votación, la enmienda fue respaldada masivamente por el grupo socialista y una parte del grupo popular, aunque implica el bloqueo de todo el paquete sobre telecomunicaciones. Una parte de la diputados españoles del PP votaron en contra, la mayoría se abstuvo y unos pocos votaron a favor.
NUEVAS NEGOCIACIONES
La votación, que representa una importante victoria para los internautas que defienden el derecho de compartir películas y canciones a través la red, obligará ahora a la Eurocámara a iniciar un complejo proceso de conciliación con los representantes de los Veintisiete en el Consejo de Ministros de la UE para que acepten incluir ese principio en la nueva legislación sobre telecomunicaciones.
Esas negociaciones tienen un plazo máximo de ocho meses y se prevén muy arduas ante los planes de algunos países para impedir el intercambio de ficheros en internet. La eurodiputada socialista española Francisca Pleguezelos y el líder de los Verdes, Daniel Cohn-Bendit, destacaron que la votación supone una victoria de las libertades ciudadanas al exigir garantías judiciales en las comunicaciones electrónicas.

Crop Circles -2009 Update- Numbers 7, 8 & 9
[Formation Nº 7 @ East Kennett Longbarrow - nr Avebury, Wiltshire - reported May 3, 2009]
A four fold scalloped design with a nested Celtic Cross bisected by an inner ring.
This formation was discovered from the air around 10.45am Sunday May 3. The glyph can not be seen from the surrounding landscape. Overall diameter of this event is approximately 180 feet. Due to severe time constraints no critical examination of the laid plants was carried out. It did however appear that at least a few people had visited the circle during the early morning of day one, resulting in random damage to plants all over the formation.
[Formation Nº 8 @ Clatford - nr Manton, Wiltshire - reported May 4, 2009]
This Pictogram was discovered from the air in the early morning of May 4 2009. It is not viewable from any position in the local landscape. During the night of the creation of the glyph there was moderate rainfall in the local area.
The Glyph measures approximately 800 feet in length and around 250 feet wide. The crop is around 5 feel high. Further, the formation stretches over the crest of the hill at the top of the field, making any direct full length sight line out of the question.
More or less all the laid rape-seed plants in the formation were noted as broken and / or severely damaged at the base of the stems. Also much severe bruising was well evident on the laid plants. Some of this damage to the plants can be seen in the ground shots on this page. Most notably this damage shows as dark strips that run down the centres of the narrow avenues in the formation.
All damage to this formation looked systematic and intentional, and did not convey the appearance of standard regular hoaxing activity.
According to a very qualified and certificated tracker that was present during the inspection "the visible damage to the plants must have occurred between 5 and 6 hours prior to our inspection". This damage therefore must have occurred between 6am and 7am on May 4.
A small key-ring torch and a sweet wrapper were found "placed" in the circle during our late morning inspection of the site, Neither the paper wrapper nor the torch had been exposed to the night rain or early dawn dew, therefore it is very probable that they were inserted later in the morning. This could be considered at best extremely curious!

Army developing synthetic telepathy technology
http://thecrit.com/2008/10/17/army-developing-synthetic-telepathy-technology/#more-386
Vocal cords were overrated anyway. A new Army grant aims to create email or voice mail and send it by thought alone. No need to type an e-mail, dial a phone or even speak a word.
Known as synthetic telepathy, the technology is based on reading electrical activity in the brain using an electroencephalograph, or EEG. Similar technology is being marketed as a way to control video games by thought.
“I think that this will eventually become just another way of communicating,” said Mike D’Zmura, from the University of California, Irvine and the lead scientist on the project.
“It will take a lot of research, and a lot of time, but there are also a lot of commercial applications, not just military applications,” he said.
The idea of communicating by thought alone is not a new one. In the 1960s, a researcher strapped an EEG to his head and, with some training, could stop and start his brain’s alpha waves to compose Morse code messages.

Tesseract (four-dimensional analog of the cube)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesseract
[3D projections of an 8-cell performing, on the left, a simple rotation about a plane which bisects the figure from front-left to back-right and top to bottom; and on the right, a double rotation about two orthogonal planes.]
In geometry, the tesseract, also called an 8-cell or regular octachoron, is the four-dimensional analog of the cube. The tesseract is to the cube as the cube is to the square. Just as the surface of the cube consists of 6 square faces, the hypersurface of the tesseract consists of 8 cubical cells. The tesseract is one of the six convex regular 4-polytopes.
A generalization of the cube to dimensions greater than three is called a ''Hypercube'', “n-cube” or “measure polytope”. The tesseract is the four-dimensional hypercube, or 4-cube.
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word tesseract was coined and first used in 1888 by Charles Howard Clinton in his book A New Era of Thought, from the Greek ''τέσσερεις ακτίνες'' (“four rays”), referring to the four lines from each vertex to other vertices. Some people have called the same figure a “tetracube”, and also simply a "hypercube" (although a hypercube can be of any dimension).

Mission Impossible: The Code Even the CIA Can't Crack
http://www.wired.com/science/discoveries/magazine/17-05/ff_kryptos?currentPage=all
The most celebrated inscription at the Central Intelligence Agency's headquarters in Langley, Virginia, used to be the biblical phrase chiseled into marble in the main lobby: "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." But in recent years, another text has been the subject of intense scrutiny inside the Company and out: 865 characters of seeming gibberish, punched out of half-inch-thick copper in a courtyard.
It's part of a sculpture called Kryptos, created by DC artist James Sanborn. He got the commission in 1988, when the CIA was constructing a new building behind its original headquarters. The agency wanted an outdoor installation for the area between the two buildings, so a solicitation went out for a piece of public art that the general public would never see. Sanborn named his proposal after the Greek word for hidden. The work is a meditation on the nature of secrecy and the elusiveness of truth, its message written entirely in code.
Almost 20 years after its dedication, the text has yet to be fully deciphered. A bleary-eyed global community of self-styled cryptanalysts—along with some of the agency's own staffers—has seen three of its four sections solved, revealing evocative prose that only makes the puzzle more confusing. Still uncracked are the 97 characters of the fourth part (known as K4 in Kryptos-speak). And the longer the deadlock continues, the crazier people get.

200,000 Year Old Statue Found On Moon
http://thecrit.com/2009/05/05/200000-year-old-statue-found-on-moon/

WASHINGTON, DC - A noted scientist has just produced proof that the lunar surface was inhabited by intelligent life: a 10-inch angel sculpture embedded in a moon rock.
Geologist Dr. Morris Charles revealed last week that NASA lab workers chipped the angel from one of the rocks brought to Earth by Apollo 11 astronauts 40 years ago, in 1969. Dr. Charles was a NASA scientist himself for 23 years but left the agency in 1987. He still maintains close ties to many of his former colleagues.
“The implications of this figurine are absolutely mind-boggling,” Dr. Charles told reporters. “It means that at one time the moon had an atmosphere conducive to life. And what’s more, it was once home to a sophisticated race of people with a highly refined sense of beauty.”
The angel - a humanoid female with wing-like appendages on her back and long flowing hair - is made of an iron compound found exclusively in the highlands of the moon.

Schwarzenegger open to studying marijuana tax idea
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2009/05/schwarzenegger-open-to-studying-marijuana-tax-idea.html
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger says California should study other nations’ experiences in legalizing and taxing marijuana, although he is not supporting the idea.
He says it’s time to debate proposals such as a bill introduced in the Legislature earlier this year that would treat marijuana like alcohol. Assemblyman Tom Ammiano, a San Francisco Democrat, says taxing marijuana at $50 per ounce would bring more than $1 billion a year to the state.
Schwarzenegger said during a Tuesday news conference that “it’s time for debate” on the idea. But he warned against making harmful decisions just for the sake of raising money.
He said some other nations have had negative experiences.[Which nations? Look at Portugal's 'experience'] Ammiano’s bill is on hold in the Legislature. He delayed seeking approval until next year.
