Human Technology Is At Least 3.4 Million Years Old
Wednesday, August 18th, 2010
In an astonishing discovery, archeologists digging in Afar, Ethiopia have discovered stone tools that are over 3,4000,000 years old. These tools were used for butchering animals, rending meat from bone and accessing the sweet, highly nutritious marrow inside.
Archeologists conjecture from their placement and age that the tools were originally used by apelike human anscestors, Australopithecus afarensis. The most well known specimen of these is “Lysergic” “Lucy”, named after the Beatles song “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds”.
The Afar region of Ethiopia is also unique because it is currently rifting apart to create a new ocean.
Humans and our ancestors have been using technology (anything that’s not part of our biological package) for 3.4 million years. Now we see that the earliest tools originated from a region that is ripping apart and will soon be under water.
Currently, it is believed that proto-urban settlements originated in the Middle East around 5000 BCE, followed by settlements on the Nile and Indus rivers.
In the last 7000 years we’ve progressed from inventing agriculture, architecture, art and writing to casually cruising around in airships and instantly accessing the collected wealth of all human information from anywhere.
What’s the math on that? For 3,393,000 years nothing happened?
Approaching logical conjecture zone.
There is a large field of study in which researchers posit that civilization, megalithic structures, and astronomical technology predate the last Ice Age. Theoretically, civilization flourished before the great flood that raised sea levels when Ice Age glaciers melted and destroyed all coastal communities. Examples of underwater sites include…
Dwarka off the west coast of India:
Yonaguni Monument off the east coast of Japan.
Kumari Kandam, a landmass south of Sri Lanka.
A large complex of urban ruins off the coast of Cuba.
And even part of Alexandria, Egypt, once the pinnacle of civilization, is underwater.
Most recently Eric Schmidt, head of Google, said that humans are now doubling the amount of information we accumulated, from the beginning of technology up to 2003, every two days. That’s 3.4 million years of information we create every two days!
Maybe this is all just something to ponder and talk about at parties.
Or maybe it’s something else….

Time Lords

A massive, 2000 foot tall clock tower in Mecca is attempting to supersede Greenwich, England to become the global zero-point of time measurement.
According to Yusuf al-Qaradawi, an Egyptian cleric, Mecca has a greater claim to being the prime meridian because it is “in perfect alignment with the magnetic north.”
This claim that the holy city is a “zero magnetism zone” has won support from some Arab scientists like Abdel-Baset al-Sayyed of the Egyptian National Research Centre who says that there is no magnetic force in Mecca.
“That’s why if someone travels to Mecca or lives there, he lives longer, is healthier and is less affected by the earth’s gravity,” he said. “You get charged with energy.”
Western scientists have challenged such assertions, noting that the Magnetic North Pole is in actual fact on a line of longitude that passes through Canada, the United States, Mexico and Antarctica.
This will be the largest clock in the world seated atop the second tallest building in the world.
Residents of Mecca will also be reminded that it is time to pray when 21,000 green and white LED lights, visible at a distance of 18 miles, flash five times a day.
The clock was designed and engineered by the Swiss – strange because the Swiss also outlawed all minarets a few months back.
Find out more about the worldwide synchronization of time and the potential to displace the prime meridian to start the day at a different hour.
Our Culture is Turning To Steam – Now!
Tuesday, August 10th, 2010
Google CEO Eric Schmidt said at a recent conference that every two days we now create as much information as we did from the dawn of civilization up until the year 2003.
“History is a heat. It is the heat of accumulated information and accumulated complexity. As our culture progresses we find that we gather more and more information and that we slowly start to move almost from a fluid to a vaporous state as we approach the ultimate complexity of a social boiling point. I believe that our culture is turing to steam.”

Hippie Mafia: The Brotherhood of Eternal Love
Monday, August 9th, 2010An interview with Nicholas Schou, author of Orange Sunshine: The Brotherhood of Eternal Love and Its Quest to Spread Peace, Love, and Acid to the World. The inside story of the infamous gang of dope-dealing surfers who played a key role in the counterculture of the Sixties. It’s a mindblowing—and improbable—tale of drug smuggling, large scale marijuana farming and LSD distribution—basically, it’s the hidden history of how America got turned on. The story of the Brotherhood might’ve gone to the grave with the participants if not for Nicholas Schou’s intriguing history. Highly recommended.

“We are often more dangerous to ourselves than the enemy.”
Friday, July 30th, 2010
Over the last decade of war, more American soldiers have died by their own hand than from enemy attacks. The U.S Army has just released a report that high-risk behavior among soldiers – including drug abuse and alcholism – are killing more troops than “terrorists”. What is suprising is that this report comes from the U.S. Army.
Not only that but our troops are freely given bottomless prescriptions for amphetamines and high-potentcy pain killers. Additionally soldiers are committing 5,000 more misdemeanors each successive year and instances of rape and domestic abuse are up 177% in the last six years.
The Army also waives applicants who would have previously been barred from service for felony convictions and drug abuse.
Of 80,403 waivers granted since 2004, the report found that 47,478 were granted to people with a history of drug or alcohol abuse, misdemeanor crime or “serious misconduct,” which it defined as felony.

Apparently Call of Duty doesn’t prepare anyone for real warfare.
The good news is this, MAPS is working diligently, and succeeding, at helping treatment-resistant PTSD soldiers with the use of MDMA (ecstasy). If done correctly this generation of soldiers may use psychoactive empathy chemicals to successfully create and lead a vision from the Army’s past: the First Earth Battalion – real Jedis.
