Wormwood?

No really really. Look here: www.ips.gov.au

Project Wormwood 
Learmonth Solar Observatory 
Studies in Planetary Defence and Space Debris

W T F

You know, it's like those chinese restaurants, with really inapropriate names, only .... they meant it? I mean, it's one that some crazy old book talks about a star named Wormwood, that's just going to happen to destroy earth. For someone to actually go out and name a tracking observatory that name?!!??

It's like the Lucifer telescope, owned by the Vatican!!!!

They really are fucking with us!!!

There's summin big out there

The Oort Cloud, from Wiki:

The Oort cloud (pronounced /ˈɔrt/ ort, alternatively the Öpik-Oort cloud IPA: [ˈøpik]) is a hypothesized spherical cloud of comets which may lie roughly 50,000 AU, or nearly a light-year, from the Sun.[1] This places the cloud at nearly a quarter of the distance to Proxima Centauri, the nearest extrasolar star. The Kuiper belt and scattered disc, the other two known reservoirs of trans-Neptunian objects, are less than one thousandth the Oort cloud's distance. The outer extent of the Oort cloud defines the gravitational boundary of our Solar System.[2]

Persistent Evidence of a Jovian Mass Solar Companion in the Oort Cloud

John J. Matese, Daniel P. Whitmire
(Submitted on 26 Apr 2010)
We present an updated dynamical and statistical analysis of outer Oort cloud cometary evidence suggesting the sun has a wide-binary Jovian mass companion. The results support a conjecture that there exists a companion of mass ~ 1-4 M_Jup orbiting in the innermost region of the outer Oort cloud. Our most restrictive prediction is that the orientation angles of the orbit normal in galactic coordinates are centered on the galactic longitude of the ascending node Omega = 319 degree and the galactic inclination i = 103 degree (or the opposite direction) with an uncertainty in the normal direction subtending ~ 2% of the sky. A Bayesian statistical analysis suggests that the probability of the companion hypothesis is comparable to or greater than the probability of the null hypothesis of a statistical fluke. Such a companion could also have produced the detached Kuiper Belt object Sedna. The putative companion could be easily detected by the recently launched Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE).


Scintillate scintillate globular celestial .....

EDIT: more from Wiki, this time the Sedna celstial object, which has an odd orbit:

Another possible explanation, advanced by Gomes, involves perturbations of Sedna's orbit by a hypothetical planetary-sized body in the inner Oort cloud. Recent simulations show that Sedna's orbital characteristics could be explained by perturbations by a Neptune-mass object at 2000 AU (or less), a Jupiter-mass at 5000 AU, or even an Earth-mass object at 1000 AU.[24][31] Another object, 2000 CR105, has an orbit similar to Sedna's but a bit less extreme: perihelion is 44.3 AU, aphelion is 394 AU, and the orbital period is 3240 years. Its orbit may have resulted from the same processes that produced Sedna's orbit.

Pleiades


Clickit ;-)

New observations of the Pleiades since 1995 have revealed several candidates of an exotic type of stars, or starlike bodies, the so-called Brown Dwarfs. These hitherto hypothetical objects are thought to have a mass intermediate between that of giant planets (like Jupiter) and small stars (the theory of stellar structure indicates that the smallest stars, i.e. bodies that produce energy by fusion somewhen in their lifetime, must have at least about 6..7 percent of one solar mass, i.e. 60 to 70 Jupiter masses). So brown dwarfs should have 10 to about 60 times the mass of Jupiter. They are assumed to be visible in the infrared light, have a diameter of about or less that of Jupiter (143,000 km), and a density 10 to 100 times that of Jupiter, as their much stronger gravity presses them tougher together.

Everybody draw mohammed day


I couldn't make this stuff up i swear. Love it. Here's a message to any moslems, christians, governments, or any other wierdos:

i will draw what i fucking like, 'k?

'k.

*grin* You see, killing people is bad. Drawing pictures is good. The difference between a child and an idiot. I think anyone who says "death to ... " or "kill the ... " should instantly be executed. Simple. We can all agree that anyone who wants ANYone else put to death, should die. I sincerely believe there are enough of those sorts of people around to satisfy anyone's blood lust. We'd all be happy.

THINKBIKE FAIL

So despite still having their avatar and links (right), i don't participate anymore. My membership has lapsed it and i'm happier without it. So many people have left, i bumped into another last friday, they just don't log in anymore. 

These are people that are still bikers, commuters, safety and community orientated people.

So why not? Myself, who had committed a lot of my personal energy to the campaign, and others, who had invested even more?

http://forum.thinkbike.co.za/showthread.php?t=42397

This is in a subforum called "support", meant for those who council or need councilling.

Read it and weep. Your days are numbered ThinkBike, and good that it is so. With attitudes like this the sooner we are rid of you the better for us all. That this has become the norm, shouts to the world the true natures of those involved. No more tolerance, but narrow minded pedantry masquerading as intelligence, or something.

The Buccaneer would never have condoned such attitudes or behaviours, and neither would any respectable man or woman. But this aggression is in fact encouraged. Frankly, since we could all die at any point, religion is kinda intrinsic don't you think? But then safety is similarly glossed over, as is drinking at Think Bike (and other safety) events.

SALUT to those who had the courage to walk away from something they believed in, for all the right reasons. We stand silent in the wings, for whenever you need a hand.

Oh dear. I wish people would RTFM...

---------------------------------------------------------------------
lightbulb(1) lightbulb(1)

NAME
  lightbulb - Convert electrons to photons

SYNOPSIS
  lightbulb [-wattage number]

DESCRIPTION
  lightbulb reads a stream of electrons from standard input and
  produces photons on standard output.
  Thus

  lightbulb <110_volts_ac>light

  The following options apply to lightbulb:

  -wattage Sets the rate at which electrons are converted
  to photons.

FILES
  None

SEE ALSO
  xmas_tree_lights(1), streetlamp(1), led(2)

KNOWN BUGS
  lightbulb is known to fail unexpectedly after some unknown
  number of applications. Repeated complaints to the authors
  of lightbulb have failed to come up with a fix for this
  bug. The only known workaround for a crashed lightbulb is
  re-installation from a fresh copy of the source media.

NOTES
  I believe M$ Windows is based on lighbulb because they
  share the same bug - and the same workaround.

  It is important to ensure that the input stream is correctly
  formatted or the lightbulb may crash unexpectedly and with
  undefined results.

  Do not attempt to apply lightbulb's input files to other
  UNIX tools (esp. 'finger(1)'), however, lightbulb's output
  stream is fairly compatible with most other devices.

INSTALLATION
  Consult a hardware engineer.

PREREQUISITES
  Your operating system must support sockets and switches.

Zimbabwe's accidental triumf

Zimbabwe’s Accidental Triumph 
 
By DOUGLAS ROGERS
Published: April 14, 2010

IN the midst of a wave of post-election political violence in Zimbabwe in 2008, Brian James, a white farmer who had been evicted from his property years earlier during President Robert Mugabe’s seizure of white-owned lands, found himself surrounded by a throng of black Zimbabweans in downtown Mutare, my hometown. The 50-strong crowd danced, sang and chanted political slogans for more than 20 minutes before Mr. James was finally able to raise his hand, thank them for their support and announce that he was honored to have been elected mayor of the country’s third-largest city.

Read it. I wholeheartedly endorse its contents, i've seen the same around me. It's the x-factor. I sometimes think that SA's finest hour is yet to come. At great price no doubt, but worth pondering.

Forgive ourselves ...

It is time for the people of the world to first forgive themselves, for being imperfect, so we can finally then begin to forgive one another for being the same!

Geo-sculpting

Ok, this story gets my interest:

Work begins on 'Goddess of the North' in Northumberland

The "Goddess of the North" will be made from 1.5 million tonnes of earth from the Shotton mine, near Cramlington. 

It will stand 34 metres - 10 metres higher than the Angel of the North - and will be 400 metres long. 

The sculpture, also knows as Northumberlandia, will form the centrepiece of a 29 hectare public park on the Blagdon Estate. 

It is estimated it will take two years to construct and cost £2.5m. 

Once developed, it is believed it will be the largest human form to be sculpted into the land, in the world.


WOW, just absolutely wow. This is exciting, purely because it's really getting out the box. It's what people 100 years ago would imagine we'd be doing. Art. Nature. Technology. Combining them in new ways.

Political interference - there isn't any

Thanks to News 24

Johannesburg - There is no political interference in any prosecutorial proceedings of any case in the country, said the National Director of Public Prosecutions Menzi Simelane on Wednesday. 

"There isn't any political interference, and there has not been any political interference.
"I don't even know what political interference looks like," Simelane said

Yes, and i'm sure Zuma doesn't know what a condom looks like either?

This guy is such bad trouble for this country ... i cannot stress how much so ...

EDIT: then i found this gem at IOL:

Other controversial actions by Simelane recently include:

Instructing the prosecutor in the "Jub Jub" case, where musician Molemo Maarohanye faces charges relating the deaths of four children, not to oppose bail. When the prosecutor did oppose bail, Simelane had him moved. After an outcry the prosecutor was reinstated.

Instructing the Asset Forfeiture Unit to call off attempts to freeze the foreign assets of businessman Fana Hlongwane as part of the arms deal investigation.

Issuing a directive that public prosecutors may not speak to the media without prior permission from the director of public prosecutions.

Demoting three highly experienced advocates, including George Baloyi, who worked on the Zuma corruption case. Simelane backed down after the three began legal action.

Simelane was instrumental in getting his predecessor, Vusi Pikoli, dismissed. 

While the Ginwala Commission found Pikoli to be "fit and proper" to hold the position of chief of the NPA, it found that Simelane's complaints against Pikoli were "spurious, without substance, and may have been motivated by personal issues". 

It found that Simelane's conduct relating to the minister was "highly irregular".

We don't need a messiah

So i don't know who has heard of Benjamin Creme and his "Matraiya" prophecies? Loony ald man been raving for decades about the coming of the messiah, called Matraiya, who will free all humanity etc etal. Share International is the homepage, no i'm not linking to it.

Anyhow. So in and amongst these prophecies are clues to who it will be. Will appear on US television and then ... i dunno. Stuff. Imagine this, people found him. Or not him, but someone who ... the clues said were him. So imagine you're this guy, and one day you get mails asking if you're the messiah. The other letters asked if he was the antichrist. Go figure.

Mr Raj Patel is the guy's name. Not a terribly inspiring start, but after reading his comments on the matter, i think i like him. Read his story here, it's by turns amusing and terribly sad.

This is what he said:

From the Bible to Knight Rider to The Matrix, the story's the same: in crappy times, a single person will emerge to make all the difference and turn everything around. Although it makes for great viewing, it makes for a bad society. Ultimately, tales about messiahs are bedtime stories steeped in power. They're debilitating soporifics, inducements to be passive as we wait for social change because, some day, our prince will come.

Why wait, though? If the world is to transform, faith in politicians offering hope and change is a recipe for disappointment. Ask almost anyone who voted for Obama. Change happens through millions of acts of rebellion and mutual aid, not through faith in one great leader. What's depressing about this whole Maitreya thing is that it is a sign that we've given up on ourselves, that we need to depend on The One rather than finding the means to fix our own problems directly.

Kyrgyzstan


The Telegraph

Earlier, Russian television stations released film showing riot police in Bishkek fleeing a screaming mob, protesters shooting at police with AK-47 assault rifles and officers being clubbed with what looked like baseball bats as they lay on the ground. Witnesses said police defending key government buildings in Bishkek had at first tried to keep a 5,000-strong crowd at bay using tear gas, stun grenades and rubber bullets. 

But later, as they struggled to cope, they fired live rounds into the crowd, killing an unknown number of protesters. 

There were reports of protesters seizing automatic rifles, armoured vehicles and police cars. Another 10,000 protesters stormed police headquarters in the western town of Talas.


Their's was the Tulip revolution. This article speaks in the present, but i believe it's already resolved that the military will obey the civilian government. I suspect that the scene above may have contributed somewhat.

People vs the machine ... i think people won this round?

Media Manipulation

http://aeoluskephas.blogspot.com/

Essential reading: Architects of the Imaginal, Movie Star Tulpas.

The inevitable question is: what are the effects of allowing these imagineered characters and narratives into our psyches? What is the result of our willing collaboration with the process by which these pop archetypes become active forces in our psyches, and ascend to mythic status? What happens when popular characters of fiction become icons to be observed, admired, emulated, and finally, worshipped—as gods?

Media Manipulation

AWB - Die Boere

Well that should get your attention. This whole topic is sitting heavily on me, but i'm not sure at i think, yet. I almost just want to soundlessly point, and stare.

For our international friends, "boer" means literally farmer. But with most things, there's another layer of meaning. I guess one could think of them as the south african cowboys. But they're not that either. They're tough, hard men of the earth who have mostly fought in the border wars, worked on farms their whole lives. But unlike american cowboys, very family and religion orientated. The thing tht people don't seem to comprehend about the "boerevolk" is how religious they are. This was always an issue in the apartheid days, the biblically "inspired" racist rationalisations.

To be fair, the biggest difference between the boers and the cowboys is that the cowboys killed all the indians, and the boers didn't wipe out the blacks. Take that as you wish. 

Things are getting bad, fast. The whites in SA are in trouble. The blacks in SA are in trouble. And everybody is in deep trouble too. The ANC has squandered everything, and destroyed the rest. Infrstructure is broken. Overseas they see the new multibillion rand world class stadiums, they don't see how those grand symbols have stolen from the poor, who live right next door. I have been told countless times how the world cup is a good thing, and sadly, people did believe this. There will be manufacturing, and tourists, billions pouring in, enough for everybody!!

No. Nice thought hey, but no. Between Fifa copywriting SOUTH AFRICA, 2010, FOOTBALL, AIR, TELEVISIONS, VUVUZELAS, and the roads, and China having produced, if not all not of th merchandise, and the political bigwigs taking the most lucrative contracts for themselves, we South Africans have not yet paid the bills!!!! 

This is reality. The ANC is now standing to make BILLIONS out of every person who pays electricity, thanks to their fiscal cleverness, and we pay several times more for electricty, than Zimbabwe. The economy is collapsing. Now they canot blame the whites anymore, it's  been in their care for almost 20 years now. They do, of course, but even the poorest township dweller knows that no, it's not the white man's fault. Won't stop them from hacking you to death if you're in the way, but they want the people who have money, thats all.

I'm reading various forums, and it seems that the death of old Terreblanche is a bit of a wake up. Instead of dying like old people do, he's now become a martyr. And sadly, a i've mentioned before here, Saffers need a face to get to grips with a reality. Tell them about 60 people massacred - nothing. Show a picture of a baby whose been orphaned by said massacre, and the the rage will be immediate. So now the spotlight is exactly where nobody really wants it.

Simelane, the new Goerring in chief, was at the courthouse, i would imagine because nobody pays attention to him over the phone. But his sticky political fingerprints are the last thing any sane person wants to see. Hell's even juli has shut his mouth for once. Since theone accused is only 15, the trial has been ordered in camera. While legally correct, i don't trust this one. I smell something rotten. 

People are saying that whites should leave the country. Gods i'm starting to hate expats. Big mouthed priviledge enjoying the bravery of being out of range. Maybe i would be one too, in a different world, but no, i'm stuck here. And as one man put it: He's been all over the world, and received several invitations to move to countries, but they are all completely under the NWO, which a much more dangerous beast than the bushwhackers that surround us. South Africa is, what the rest of the world will be. Read that last night, and it crystallised a thought i've had for several years. 

Few points i'd like to make about the current political climate:

South Africa is in a way, the last colony. 

The country is ready to burn.

It's not the whites fault, and everybody knows that. (except those being manipulatd for political ends, who don't care because they're hungry.)

There is MUCH which we don't know about. Zimbabwe is bigger in this story than we think.

The Boere, after the Boervolk trial, know better than to trust internet.

The AWB is the last organisation which fosters the dream of a free republic for the Boere. Nw we must go back several hundred years, to when the boere came to SA TO ESCAPE THE NWO IN EUROPE. Well i suppose i should OWO ... but yes, the same people, banksters.

The world cup has just become the greatest flint the world has ever known. The vast influx of wealthy people from all over is about to meet pissed of poor people. The government is pathetic in everything it does, we can have a runaway fire in seconds. Mandela is going to die soon. FACT. Now whatever the truth is, the reality will belong to whoever leads the EMOTIONAL masses. 

This is all just bubbling, South Africa started so well, but everybody has had enough of the crime, corruption and inefficiency. How is this going to play out?

ASIDE: i'm caught between 2/3 sides here. 

1: Emigrate: i can neither afford it, nor do i wish to. I have a family to look after, and the countries that would take us are all NWO. 

2: Do something, but what? The democratic system allow a once every 5 years action, more than that they particulrly do NOT want your input. Throw my life into a political party? 

3: Stop whinging. Yeah Saffers moan a lot, but seriously, we're being systematically fucked over. I cannot rebel and not pay rent and lights, i cannot do that. My first priority is the healthy and balanced upbringing of my children. Until the SHTF day at least. By which point everything else would be too late. 

*shrug* this is a difficult time for everyone, and about all i know for sure is everybody needs just that little bit more peace and love in their lives.

If you should also wonder why i stay here, in South Africa:

Ons sal lewe, ons sal sterwe, ons vir jou Suid Afrika.

(We shall live, we shall die, us for you South Africa)

I can't access youtube from work, but search for the video that shows the AWB singing "Die Stem" and take take a moment to reflect.

Wikileaks

I said to look out, and they delivered well. 

www.collateralmurder.com

www.wikileaks.com

Overview

5th April 2010 10:44 EST WikiLeaks has released a classified US military video depicting the indiscriminate slaying of over a dozen people in the Iraqi suburb of New Baghdad -- including two Reuters news staff.

Reuters has been trying to obtain the video through the Freedom of Information Act, without success since the time of the attack. The video, shot from an Apache helicopter gun-site, clearly shows the unprovoked slaying of a wounded Reuters employee and his rescuers. Two young children involved in the rescue were also seriously wounded.

Curiously, when i posted this Reuters did not have this covered as a story. If i'm wrong please correct me.

Raindrops

Yesterday evening we had a cloudburst. Well, i suppose i can call it that, have to call it something. It looked like the nearest lake had got up and gone for a walk.

Up until about 3 oclock i wasn't sure if it was going to rain. Then i knew. It bucketed!!! But when it starts raining like this, waiting for it to end is not really a good idea. Between work a home i have at least 3 distinct meteorological regions, where it rains, then it doesn't rain, then i hit the hills, and it RAINS!!!

Visibility in places was down to about 30 metres, the road was slippery as ice, and the people as usual were fucking morons. But it was fun, a lot of fun. Especially coming under the bridge, and riding through 30cm deep water. Between cars. My chin is my indicator. When the rain falls down, my chin is dry. When the spray and rain combine to form a gaseo-liqui-mush, then my chin is wet. I can feel it get colder than it was, and ice cold water co-alesces on my throat, and drips down the front of my shirt.  My gloves were not prepared either, something to do with my dubbin warming apperatus having been thrown out, or stolen over the stupid season. Just a small scented oil burner, it was ideal for warming the dubbin to liquid, which i could then smear into each and ever crack in my boots and gloves. Boots also leaked a lot. My rain suit is brilliant, high-vis and very good, but leaked at my crotch, and knees (?).

I was certainly having more fun than the cars, and i do appreciate not having to sit in the ain for several hours, as cagers had to yesterday. This morning was also crazy, not sure wy though. The roads were wet still, but clean, most oil had washed off already. Just rubble, all over the tar. But the highway i come in onwas bumper to bumper the entire way, shame. 

I read about a woman who got washed off a bridge in her car last night, and drowned, in the car. Now i can even understand her going over the bridge, as unwise as that was, but i cannot concieve of how a person drowns IN THE CAR? Open the door? Oh, ok, so open the other one then? I kinda feel sorry for her, or rather those she leaves behind, but i'm just missing a small part of the puzzle, it seems odd.

Today is april fools day, good for that. More importantly it's my son's birthday. I deny that the 2 have anything to do with each other. I have to admit though, the little sod waited 4 days to come out on april fools day, maybe he knew something? He's getting a skateboard, matching his little sister's .... not trying to kill my kids ok, just trying to rough them up a lot. Good, kids these days are freakin pansies.

Easter weekend is here, and we welcome BUNNIES, and CHOCOLATES, HOT CROSS BUNNIES ... um ... buns, and easter specials at your local shopping centre. Easter bunny does bulk discounts i believe. More importantly, it's abou the crucifiction, and resurrection of ... Jesus Christ. You wouldn't know it, just by, you know paying attention. Have to be told these things. It's pagan happy days too, sping traditionally for them, autumn for us here. It's satanists happy days too, fucking freakshows. Public holidays for us workers, and choclates for the kids, oh wait i said that. 

So i'm cynical today, again. I cannot however think of easter without John Steinbecks "The Winter of our Discontent". So human, in every way. For me easter is a vaguely sad time, or at least a contemplative one. It is about sadness, and suffering, triumph too, but always at a  great cost. Easter Friday afternoons are quiet times for me. 

Wishing you peace and love
