Here Comes Suburban Radar - Tracking Your Movements Through WiFi

It's fascinating and all that, that someone thought of this way of using common WiFi as an in-home radar.  My question is, why would anyone want this?  I can think of the answer to that question, but it's not good...

In the 1930s, U.S. Navy researchers stumbled upon the concept of radar when they noticed that a plane flying past a radio tower reflected radio waves. Scientists have now applied that same principle to make the first device that tracks existing Wi-Fi signals to spy on people through walls.

Wi-Fi radio signals are found in 61 percent of homes in the U.S. and 25 percent worldwide, so Karl Woodbridge and Kevin Chetty, researchers at University College London, designed their detector to use these ubiquitous signals. When a radio wave reflects off a moving object, its frequency changes—a phenomenon called the Doppler effect. Their radar prototype identifies frequency changes to detect moving objects. It’s about the size of a suitcase and contains a radio receiver composed of two antennas ­and a signal-processing unit. In tests, they have used it to determine a person’s location, speed and direction—even through a one-foot-thick brick wall. Because the device itself doesn’t emit any radio waves, it can’t be detected.

Wi-Fi radar could have domestic applications ranging from spotting intruders to unobtrusively monitoring children or the elderly. It could also have military uses: The U.K. Ministry of Defence has funded a study to determine whether it could be used to scan buildings during urban warfare. With improvements, Woodbridge says, the device could become sensitive enough to pick up on subtle motions the ribcage makes during breathing, which would allow the radar to detect people who are standing or sitting still.
See image above for how it'll work.
1. MOVING SUBJECT
When Wi-Fi radio waves bounce off a moving object, their frequency changes. If, for example, a person is moving toward the Wi-Fi source, the reflected waves’ frequency increases. If a person is moving away from the source, the frequency decreases.
2. REGULAR OL' ROUTER
A Wi-Fi Internet router already in the room fills the area with radio waves of a specific frequency, usually 2.4 or 5 gigahertz.
3. BASELINE SIGNAL
One antenna of the radar system tracks the baseline radio signal in the room.
4. SHIFTED SIGNAL
A second antenna detects radio waves that have reflected off of moving objects, which changes their frequency.
5. PERP, SPOTTED
By comparing the two antennas’ signals, the computer calculates the object’s location to within a few feet as well as its speed and direction.

BREATHE EASY

Breathe Easy:

It’s possible to detect a person’s breathing rate by surrounding him with radio waves. Neal Patwari’s wireless engineering group at the University of Utah designed a network of 20 inexpensive radio transmitters that are placed around a patient’s bed. Then they created an algorithm that detects a stationary person’s breaths better than current detectors do. Patwari plans to upgrade the algorithm by the end of the year to filter out body movements too. The system could someday be used in hospitals in place of tubes and masks.

The Persecution In Vietnam Continues

The communist regime in Vietnam hates Christianity and continues to use brute force to try and drive it out of their country, especially the tribal peoples in the north and central regions.  As always, when Christianity is persecuted, the Church is strengthened and grows. 

Is an Australian billionaire about to launch the real-life Jurassic Park?

  • Clive Palmer has already revealed plans to rebuild the Titanic
  • Rumoured to be in discussion with Dolly the sheep team for new resort attraction where cloned dinosaurs could roam free


  • It could be the most incredible case of real life imitating Hollywood.
    A controversial Australian billionaire is believed to be drawing up secret plans for a real life Jurassic Park.

    Mining magnate Clive Palmer, who has already embarked on a project to rebuild the Titanic, is rumoured to be announced the plans at a Brisbane press conference tomorrow.

    Mr Palmer has refused to comment on the plans, and is believed to be saving his big reveal for friday's press conference.
    However, the Sunshine Coast Daily claimed it had received a tipoff from the same source who provided the it details of towering hotels and a giant ferris wheel, similar to the London Eye, at the resort.
    A spokesman confirmed Mr Palmer would hold a press conference in Brisbane on Friday.
    He has already revealed plans to bring one Hollywood blockbuster to life, and announced earlier this year he would build a replica of the ill-fated cruise ship Titanic.
    Mr Palmer's company Blue Star Line has signed a memorandum of understanding with state-owned Chinese company CSC Jinling Shipyard to build the cruise liner, with the ship's maiden voyage from England to North America scheduled for late 2016.

    Thankfully, the team has modernised the rescue equipment on board.

    Earthquakes (Birthpangs) Ramp Up Again




    Columbia, SC (WLTX) - Residents on the South Carolina coast may have a felt a slight rumbling Tuesday morning due to an earthquake; in fact, it was the third one in the state over the past week.
    Anyone who has ever been in an earthquake will tell you, It leaves a lasting impression on you.
    Living through a large earthquake hasn't only been an experience for James Knapp, as a professor at USC's School of Earth and Ocean Science, studying earthquakes is his job.
    "It's a very unsettling feeling when everything around you is moving, there's really no place for you to go and seek shelter," shared Knapp.

    In the past week, South Carolina has experienced three small earthquakes; a 2.0 magnitude in Spartanburg County, a 2.5 in Chesterfield County and 2.8 in Charleston County.
    "It turns out that South Carolina has one of the higher earthquake hazards in the eastern United States," said Knapp.

    "SC is a somewhat unusual place to have earthquakes because in fact, most earthquakes take place at boundaries between tectonic plates of the earth, and yet here in SC we're not on a plate boundary. We don't fully understand all of the factors that go into generating seismicity in the interior of a plate."

    The Charleston 7.3 magnitude quake of 1886 may come to mind when you think earthquakes in the south; however, Knapp says the frequency of the recent small rumblings doesn't mean people need to panic.

    Five Quakes Hit Santa Clara County

    Five earthquakes shook Santa Clara County last week, with the largest one hitting one mile west of Cupertino. The closest quake to reach Campbell hit 15 miles away in Cupertino.

    The tremor reached a magnitude of 1.8 on the Richter Scale on Thursday at 12:53 p.m., and hit four miles south-southeast of Los Altos.

    The second largest quake measured in at 1.7, and struck four miles north east of Milpitas on Friday at 12:08 p.m. Another quake shook South County just a few hours later at 5:58 p.m. The shock, reaching 1.6, hit four miles south south-west of Gilroy and eight miles south of San Martin.

    Two small quakes measuring in at 1.5 shook the county toward the beginning of the week, with the first one striking five miles east north-east of Gilroy, seven miles south south-east of San Martin and 11 miles south east of Morgan Hill at 2:41 a.m. on Sunday, July 22.

    The second 1.5 temblor is believed to be the result of a quarry explosion occurring seven miles near a quarry east of Cupertino, according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) website. The quake hit three miles south of Los Altos, three miles west of Cupertino and four miles south south-east of Los Altos Hills at 12:30 p.m. Tuesday.
    Generally, earthquakes that fail to break the 2.0 mark on the scale are difficult to feel far from the epicenter. As of Saturday afternoon, no one reported feeling the five tremors in Santa Clara County this week on the USGS website

    6 quakes in last week off southern Oregon coast

    6 quakes in last week off southern Oregon coast
    GOLD BEACH, Ore. - Six earthquakes between magnitude 1.6 and 2.1 rumbled under the ocean less than 20 miles off the Oregon Coast in the last week, according to U.S. Geologic Survey records.
    The most recent - and most powerful - hit early Tuesday morning.

    And two quakes over 4.0 shook last week about 240 miles off Bandon.

    Small quakes hit Oregon on a regular basis, both on and off coast.

    Last Thursday, for example, a magnitude 1.4 shook 8 miles northeast of Springfield, and a 1.5 magnitude earthquake rumbled 11 miles east of Woodburn just before 9:30 a.m. Tuesday morning.

    But for residents of the Oregon Coast, earthquakes - and the tsunamis they can trigger - have taken on renewed importance since March 2011.

    The earthquake and tsunami that devastated parts of Japan last year caused damage on the Oregon Coast and continue to deliver debris to Northwest beaches.
    The USGS told KCBY News that the recent swarm of quakes pose little tsunami risk. The plates involved move sideways instead of up and down, and earthquakes under magnitude 6 are not likely to generate tsunamis.

    The Largest Natural Disaster In U.S. History Just Got Worse

    This will be devastating news for food prices and availability world wide, but the largest impacts won't begin to be felt until Fall at the earliest.

    Mac Slavo

    The largest natural disaster in American history just went from bad to worse.
    Sweltering heat and persistent drought across the country has ravaged crops to such extremes this summer that tens of thousands of farmers and ranchers are on the verge of financial ruin. The situation is so dire that it has prompted the US Department of Agriculture to declare more than half of America a disaster area.
    …more than half of all U.S. counties – 1,584 in 32 states – have been designated primary disaster areas this growing season, the vast majority of them mired in a drought that’s considered the worst in decades.
    Counties in Arkansas, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Mississippi, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee and Wyoming were included in Wednesday’s announcement. The USDA uses the weekly U.S. Drought Monitor to help decide which counties to deem disaster areas, which makes farmers and ranchers eligible for federal aid, including low-interest emergency loans.
    Source: Seattle Times
    Without the ability to harvest their crops, many farmers are finding it difficult to make good on loans they used to fund their operations. Cattle ranchers, who can’t find hay due to the drought and whose feed prices are skyrocketing, are also feeling the pinch.
    An AgWeb discussion in early July involving small business and family farmers displayed their desperation, with many commentors indicating this summer’s drought is the worst they’ve ever experienced. Others reported their crops were dying and pleaded for rain.

    That rain never came, and according to industry experts and officials at the USDA, conditions are now set to intensify and worsen.
    As of this week, nearly half of the nation’s corn crop was rated poor to very poor, according to the USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service. About 37 percent of the U.S. soybeans were lumped into that category, while nearly three-quarters of U.S. cattle acreage is in drought-affected areas, the survey showed.
    The potential financial fallout in the nation’s midsection appears to be intensifying. The latest weekly Mid-America Business Conditions Index, released Wednesday, showed that the ongoing drought and global economic turmoil is hurting business in nine Midwest and Plains states, boosting worries about the prospect of another recession, according to the report.
    Creighton University economist Ernie Goss, who oversees the index, said the drought will hurt farm income while the strengthening dollar hinders exports, meaning two of the most important positive factors in the region’s economy are being undermined.
    Red is Bad...
    Food supplies across the country – for animals and humans – are literally drying up.
    This will undoubtedly lead to significant food price increases across the entire spectrum of the American diet – meat, grain, dairy, vegetables and fruit.
    Tom Chatham of Project Chesapeake writes:
    Corn and soybean meal are staples in animal feed and the rising prices and drought conditions are forcing farmers and ranchers to sell off their herds for slaughter. This will cause a glut in the market over the short term and you may see lower meat prices as a result but this will only be temporary. By next year the prices of meat will rise as the supply of livestock reaches multi decade lows. Supply and demand will push prices higher as a result.
    Larry Pope, chief executive of Smithfield Foods has recently given a dire warning. “Beef is simply going to be too expensive to eat. Pork is not going to be too far behind. Chicken is catching up fast.” He also stated that government regulations are going to make things even worse. Almost 40% of the U.S corn crop goes to make ethanol fuel. Pope said, “Its almost a government- mandated disaster here, which is distressing”.
    He warned that meat prices will rise by “significant double digits“.
    For those with the ability to do so, we recommend putting away foods that your family eats regularly, and planning for at least a three to six month window of upward price pressure. Tess Pennington offers some drought preparedness tips:
    The price increases will be dramatic. Expect to see fewer grocery store sales, especially those great “loss leaders” we all love to take advantage of.
    Prepare for this by stocking up NOW before the major price increases hit. For instance, purchasing bulk dried corn, corn meal, and a diverse supply of bulk meats before the prices rise. Pamper your garden and get every single ounce of produce you can squeeze out of it. Buy in bulk to take advantage of lower prices and preserve food for use this winter.
    Make adjustments in your shopping and eating habits now to weather the upcoming food crisis.
    If you’ve got a freezer, load it up with as much meat as you can afford to buy. Package dry goods for the long-term and have a steady supply of beans, wheat (or flour), corn and rice on hand to dip into if prices do happen to jump. While we all hope for a rainy year in 2013 to get struggling farmers back on their feet and our prices at the grocery stores to affordable levels, taking measures today based on the credible information available to us can help save us from paying 30% or more in food costs over the course of the next several months.

    While the idea of buying commodities at lower prices today may save us money, worst case scenario planning is always in order. A well stocked food pantry can help us supplement our diets for quite some time if we experience a drought similar to the Dust Bowl of the 1930′s, which was felt for three consecutive and particularly devastating years before things began to return to normal.

    Obama, the first communist president?


    This article was posted by the Voice of Russia radio, and the irony could not be greater.  Who would know better how to recognize a communist than the Russians, who suffered under the cruel atheistic brutality of communists for over 70 years.  One thing that Christians in America should take to heart, communists rulers always focus their anger on Christians in support of atheism, or more honestly, Satanism.

    The topmost recent news is the Thursday ruling of U.S. Supreme Court that in a 5-4 vote upheld Barack Obama's controversial healthcare law.


    The ruling was, to a certain extent, unexpected, because the court is almost evenly divided along the conservative–liberal lines, and the vote that determined the decision in favor of the administration was that of the conservative Chief Justice John Roberts.
    Hours before the ruling it was not clear whether the Court would uphold or repeal the law in its entirety, or uphold it only partly. The Wall Street Journal, citing its sources in Obama's inner circle, even stated that President Obama had prepared three speeches in anticipation of the ruling. Luckily for him, he had to stick to the most preferred one.
    The ruling has been widely recognized as a triumph for President Obama who had put much of the labors of his presidency to this singular law. But it still keeps open the question of what impact the ruling will have on November 6 elections.

    It is probably impossible to go into all the details of the law in a short commentary but the core of it suggests providing medical insurance to 30 million people who presently remain uncovered by any insurance plan. Shortly speaking, it means providing medical care to all Americans – whether they can afford it or not. This, in turn, poses a question of whether those who can afford medical care should pay for those who cannot (and a considerable number among the latter prefer to live on social benefits not because they are unable to earn a decent living, but because they are unwilling to). This reminds of is the motto formulated in the Communist Manifesto and attempted to be implemented in the Soviet Union – "take and divide".

    As was calculated by the Congressional Budget Office in March, the overall cost of the new law's implementation for the period of 10 years will amount to $1.76 trillion, and this in fact means additional taxation on the middle class in order to support the poor.
    The peculiar thing about the American public's reaction to the law is that, according to Reuters/Ipsos poll, the majority of Americans oppose the law even though they strongly support most of its provisions. And this opens the possibility for the issue to become one of the most hotly-contested in the months to come on the eve of November 6 elections.

    Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has already vowed that he will make the issue central in his campaign. "Our mission is clear: If we're going to get rid of Obamacare, we're going to have to replace President Obama," he said shortly after the announcement of the court's decision.

    His supporters have already worked out plans to intensify the ad campaign, specially targeting the "swing" states which are likely to determine the outcome of the presidential elections. And the Republican-dominated House of Representatives is going to try to once again repeal the law in a July 11 vote.

    The latter move is regarded as purely political and having no impact on the law itself – the Democratic Senate is sure to block any move by the House aimed at the repeal of their much-cherished achievement (and one of the few Barack Obama's presidency can boast of).

    So, the Supreme Court's ruling is viewed by some commentators as a new boost for conservatives. "This is great politically. Bad for the country, but great politically," Reuters cites a Romney adviser as saying.

    A totally different sentiment is expressed by the liberal media that are overloaded with joy. Some commentators (already 200 percent sure of Barack Obama's re-election) state that now that the law is there to stay, Barack Obama has all chances to be remembered in history as the president who changed the course of the nation.
    They may be right. In 2008, Barack Obama became the first black president. After supporting single-sex marriages, he was called "the first gay president". Now he has all chances to be labeled "the first communist president". And this really means that he is the person to change the course of America – the way Lenin changed the course of Russia about a century ago.

    The Testimony of Rev. Richard Wurmbrand - A Church In Chains

    Please take a few minutes to hear these amazing stories of forgiveness, longsuffering and love. Amazing stuff from Rev. Richard Wurmbrand, founder of Voice of the Martyrs Ministries, who spent 14 years in communist prison with his wife in Romania for preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ.

    Christian Persecution In Ancient Rome

    I read some of the original comments on this video, with some thinking it was overly dramatic.  If anything, it heavily understates the suffering and persecution of Christians in Ancient Rome.  Try reading a little of "Eusebius Ecclesiastical History of the Church".  It is well worth the time.


    Forget the Rise of the Police State. It's the Rise of the Terminator State

     

    by Julie Mitchell

    Forget the Rise of the Police State. It’s the Rise of the Terminator State.

    On February 14, 2012, President “Barack Obama” signed into law the Federal Aviation Administration Reauthorization and Reform Act, a law which, in section 332, requires “the safe integration of civil unmanned aircraft, [i.e. drones], into the national airspace system as soon as practicable [italics added] but no later than September 30, 2015.” Subsequent to the passage of that bill they have clearly decided to adopt the “as soon as practicable” approach, as these unmanned drones have for the several months since been photographed and filmed hovering and flying in various parts of the country.

    Meanwhile, the internet air waves are exploding with citizen activists protesting the implementation of drone technology in U.S. airspace, and the only objection to be raised among the MSM media outlets is the insipid and perpetual comment repeated almost verbatim among all of them that “privacy advocates fear” they may ultimately be used in violation of the privacy rights, which is in reality a non-existent concept, that the vast majority of Americans are still suffering from the misconception that they actually possess (sourced). Be that as it may, my question is, what else would one anticipate is the ultimate goal of these particular machines in spite of the protestations that such is not the case on the part of the federal government? These weapons originated with the military, and the assumption that they were designed to serve any purpose other than that which benefits and facilitates war and the activities thereof is essentially baseless.
    X-47B "Terminator" Drone, coming to a suburb near you

    And once again the unlearned cacophony of voices that continues to ring in opposition to them have yielded no tangible results. Meanwhile, as the clamor among truthers in opposition to unmanned drones continues to grow, and the ongoing use of them to do God knows what demonstrates that our elected officials have no interest whatsoever in what we object to, there is a far more sinister version of these particular craft in the process of being implemented by the United States Navy which will undoubtedly find its way to the skies of America, just as the “unmanned” drones already have.
     
    The cover of the August 2012 issue of Popular Science features the prototype of a new “robotic” drone, and it is referred to on the cover of that publication as “the world’s first robotic strike craft.” The X-47B, as it is referred to, is described as the “world’s first autonomous warplane,” and the point is made that “from takeoff to landing, it flies with little or no direct control from human handlers.” There is no need for any sort of human remote control of this machine. In fact, it is specifically designed to eliminate the need for human intervention. Living in a world in which such things are utilized to the utter detriment and control of the human race should not be that difficult to imagine for many Americans. If it is, visit Netflix and watch the “Terminator” movies. That will give you a clear idea of the direction this is heading.

    The prototype of this robotic drone was shipped to the Pax River testing facility in December of 2011, and until its first real carrier flight early next year, and just in time for the long awaited global conflicts and distress to begin to reach epic and worldwide proportions, simulated testing will be done there. It would probably be a mistake to assume that there is NOT a facility somewhere manufacturing these on as large a scale as possible at the moment. Their use has already been legalized via the current legislation implementing the use of “unmanned drones,” because although they are essentially Artificial Intelligence killing machines, they still qualify without question as “unmanned drones.”

    Ebola Virus Spreading In Uganda


    August 3, 2012KAMPALA, UgandaSix more patients suspected to have Ebola have been admitted to the hospital days after investigators confirmed an outbreak of the highly infectious disease in a remote corner of western Uganda, a health official said on Monday. Stephen Byaruhanga, health secretary of the affected Kibaale district, said possible cases of Ebola, at first concentrated in a single village, are now being reported in more villages. “It’s no longer just one village. There are many villages affected,” Byaruhanga said. In a national address, Uganda’s president advised against unnecessary contact among people, saying suspected cases of Ebola should be reported immediately to health officials. Officials from Uganda’s Ministry of Health and the World Health Organization announced on Saturday that the deadly Ebola virus killed 14 Ugandans this month, ending weeks of speculation about the cause of a strange illness that had some people fleeing their homes in the absence of reliable answers. If the six new cases are confirmed as Ebola, it would bring to 26 the number of Ugandans infected with Ebola. This is the fourth occurrence of Ebola in Uganda since 2000, when the disease killed 224 people and left hundreds more traumatized in northern Uganda. At least 42 people were killed in another outbreak in 2007, and there was a lone Ebola case in 2011. Investigators took nearly a month to confirm Ebola’s presence in Uganda this year. In Kibaale, a district with 600,000 residents, some villagers started abandoning their homes to escape what they thought was an illness caused by bad luck. One family lost nine members, and a clinical officer and her 4-month-old baby died from Ebola, Byaruhanga said. The confirmation of Ebola’s presence in the area has spread anxiety among sick villagers, who are refusing to go to the hospital for fear they don’t have Ebola and will contract it there. All suspected Ebola patients have been isolated at one hospital where patients admitted with other illnesses fled after Ebola was announced. Only the hospital’s maternity ward still has patients, officials said, highlighting the deadly reputation of Ebola. –Trib Live

    They Really Do Want To Implant Microchips Into Your Brain

    Michael Snyder
    American Dream
    Are you ready to have a microchip implanted into your brain? That might not sound very appealing to you at this point, but this is exactly what the big pharmaceutical companies and the big technology companies have planned for our future.

    They are pumping millions of dollars into researching “cutting edge” technologies that will enable implantable microchips to greatly “enhance” our health and our lives. Of course nobody is going to force you to have a microchip implanted into your brain when they are first introduced. Initially, brain implants will be marketed as “revolutionary breakthroughs” that can cure chronic diseases and that can enable the disabled to live normal lives. When the “benefits” of such technology are demonstrated to the general public, soon most people will want to become “super-abled”. Just imagine the hype that will surround these implants when people discover that you can get rid of your extra weight in a matter of days or that you can download an entire college course into your memory in just a matter of hours. The possibilities for this kind of technology are endless, and it is just a matter of time before having microchips implanted into your brain is considered to be quite common. What was once science fiction is rapidly becoming reality, and it is going to change the world forever.

    But aren’t there some very serious potential downsides to having microchips implanted into our brains?

    Of course there are.

    Unfortunately, this technology is not as far off as you might think, and most people are not even talking about what the negative consequences might be.

    According to a recent article in the Financial Times, the pharmaceutical company of the future will include a “bioelectronics” business that “treats disease through electrical signalling in the brain and elsewhere.”

    Diseases such as diabetes and epilepsy and conditions such as obesity and depression will be will be treated “through electronic implants into the brain rather than pills or injections.”

    These implants will send electrical signals to cells and organs that are “malfunctioning”. People will be totally “cured” without ever having to pop a pill or go under the knife.

    It sounds too good to be true, right?

    Well, the Financial Times says that British pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline is working very hard to develop these kinds of technologies. Moncef Slaoui, the head of research and development at GlaxoSmithKline, says that the “challenge is to integrate the work – in brain-computer interfaces, materials science, nanotechnology, micro-power generation – to provide therapeutic benefit.”

    If a brain implant could cure a disease that you have been suffering from your whole life would you take it?

    A lot of people are going to be faced with that kind of a decision in future years.
    And this kind of technology is advancing very rapidly. In fact, some researchers have already had success treating certain diseases by implanting microchips into the brains of rats. The following is from a recent Mashable article….
    Stroke and Parkinson’s Disease patients may benefit from a controversial experiment that implanted microchips into lab rats. Scientists say the tests produced effective results in brain damage research.
    Rats showed motor function in formerly damaged gray matter after a neural microchip was implanted under the rat’s skull and electrodes were transferred to the rat’s brain. Without the microchip, rats with damaged brain tissue did not have motor function. Both strokes and Parkinson’s can cause permanent neurological damage to brain tissue, so this scientific research brings hope.
    In addition, the U.S. government has been working on implantable microchips that would monitor the health of our soldiers and enhance their abilities in the field.
    So this technology is definitely coming.

    But it must be very complicated to get a microchip implanted into your brain, right?
    Actually it is fairly simple.

    According to an article in the Wall Street Journal, the typical procedure is very quick and it often only requires just an overnight stay in the hospital….
    Neural implants, also called brain implants, are medical devices designed to be placed under the skull, on the surface of the brain. Often as small as an aspirin, implants use thin metal electrodes to “listen” to brain activity and in some cases to stimulate activity in the brain. Attuned to the activity between neurons, a neural implant can essentially “listen” to your brain activity and then “talk” directly to your brain.
    If that prospect makes you queasy, you may be surprised to learn that the installation of a neural implant is relatively simple and fast. Under anesthesia, an incision is made in the scalp, a hole is drilled in the skull, and the device is placed on the surface of the brain. Diagnostic communication with the device can take place wirelessly. When it is not an outpatient procedure, patients typically require only an overnight stay at the hospital.
    But is it really safe to have a device implanted into your head that can “talk” directly to your brain?

    Many large corporations are banking on the fact that in a world that is always hungry for new technology that most people will not be bothered by such things.

    For example, Intel is working on sensors that will be implanted in the brain that will be able to directly control computers and cell phones. The following is an excerpt from a Computer World UK article….
    By the year 2020, you won’t need a keyboard and mouse to control your computer, say Intel researchers. Instead, users will open documents and surf the web using nothing more than their brain waves.
    Scientists at Intel’s research lab in Pittsburgh are working to find ways to read and harness human brain waves so they can be used to operate computers, television sets and cell phones. The brain waves would be harnessed with Intel-developed sensors implanted in people’s brains.
    The scientists say the plan is not a scene from a sci-fi movie, Big Brother won’t be planting chips in your brain against your will. Researchers expect that consumers will want the freedom they will gain by using the implant.

    Report: Russia Moves Nuclear Missiles to Cuba

    Cuban missile crisis part two?
    Paul Joseph Watson
    Infowars.com
    A report out of Pravda quotes President Vladimir Putin as saying that Russia has moved strategic nuclear missiles to Cuba in response to the United States’ continuing efforts to encircle Russia in Eastern Europe.
    The article, written by Lyuba Lulko, explains how Russia is reviving its military operations in Vietnam, Cuba and the Seychelles.

    In October 2001, President Vladimir Putin announced that the Lourdes radio-electronic center on the island had been shut down as a “gift” to President George W. Bush on the basis of promises given by Bush that the U.S. missile defense system would never be deployed in Eastern Europe.

    However, with the missile defense system under the auspices of NATO now reaching “interim operational capability” in Europe at the end of May, that promise has been shattered.

    “The Russian Federation has fulfilled all terms of the agreement. And even more. I shut down not only the Cuban Lourdes but also Kamran in Vietnam. I shut them down because I gave my word of honor. I, like a man, has kept my word. What have the Americans done? The Americans are not responsible for their own words. It is no secret that in recent years, the U.S. created a buffer zone around Russia, involving in this process not only the countries of Central Europe, but also the Baltic states, Ukraine and the Caucasus. The only response to this could be an asymmetric expansion of the Russian military presence abroad, particularly in Cuba,” the report quotes Putin as saying.

    “With the full consent of the Cuban leadership, on May 11 of this year, our country has not only resumed work in the electronic center of Lourdes, but also placed the latest mobile strategic nuclear missiles “Oak” on the island. They did not want to do it the amicable way, now let them deal with this,” added Putin.

    Car that runs on water invented

    And you and I will never have access to the technology....but it's nice to know it exists, right?

    A Pakistani engineer has built a car that runs on water, a feat that left onlookers astounded.

    Engineer Waqar Ahmad drove his car using water as fuel Thursday during a demonstration for parliamentarians, scientists and students,Dawnreported from this Pakistan capital.

    He said cars could be driven by a system fuelled by water instead of petrol or CNG.
    The onlookers were taken aback when they saw it and a cabinet sub-committee lauded the ‘Water Fuel Kit Project’.

    The media report explained that the water fuelling system is a technology in which ‘hydrogen bonding’ with distilled water produces hydrogen gas to run the car.

    Ahmad had earlier told Religious Affairs Minister Syed Khurshid Ahmad Shah about the unique project and it was taken to the federal cabinet which asked its sub—committee to discuss it.

    During the demonstration, Shah himself drove the car.

    The minister said that Ahmad would be given complete security and the formula would be kept secure.IANS

    New strain of avian flu responsible for the death of 162 seals- scientists warn it could jump to humans

     

    The virus developed the ability to attack mammalian respiratory tracts, scientists learned. H3N8 is a subtype of the species Influenza A virus that is endemic in birds, horses and dogs. In 2012, it was reported to have been found in seals.
    August 1, 2012HEALTHA new strain of avian flu that jumped from birds to mammals is responsible for the death of more than 160 seals off the New England coast last year, scientists announced Tuesday. The virus could theoretically pose a threat to human health, they said. Harbor seals — most of them babies less than 6 months old — began appearing with severe pneumonia and skin lesions in September of last year, the researchers said. Over the next few months, at least 162 dead seals were recovered along the coast from Maine to Massachusetts, they said. Mutant bird flu would be airborne, scientists say. Testing pointed at a new strain of the H3N8 flu virus being called seal H3N8. “When initial tests revealed an avian influenza virus, we asked the obvious question: How did this virus jump from birds to seals?” lead researcher Simon Anthony of Columbia University said. The virus developed the ability to attack mammalian respiratory tracts, scientists learned. It may also have developed enhanced virulence and transmission in mammals, they said, but they need to do more tests to be sure. Avian flu has spread to humans before, most notably H1N1 and H5N1, so the new strain could pose a threat to public health, scientists warned. “HIV/AIDS, SARS, West Nile, Nipah and influenza are all examples of emerging infectious diseases that originated in animals,” said W. Ian Lipkin, director of the Center for Infection and Immunity at Columbia University. “Any outbreak of disease in domestic animals or wildlife, while an immediate threat to wildlife conservation, must also be considered potentially hazardous to humans,’ he said. The research is published in the journal mBio. –CNN

    What's Happening To The Electrical Grid? Nearly 1 Billion Are Without Power In India And Pakistan

    Is it a coincidence that the power has gone out to hundreds of millions in India and Pakistan simultaneously?  I must say that I believe coincidences to be signs, so this may well be a sign of things to come.  This first report notes the last time a similar collapse happened in 2001, the time of the last solar maximum. 

    India hit by second grid collapse in two days: 670 million without power in larger outage

    July 31, 2012NEW DELHI - India suffered its second huge, crippling power failure in two days on Tuesday, depriving as much as half of the vast and populous country of electricity and disrupting transport networks. The first power grid collapse, on Monday, was the country’s worst blackout in a decade. It affected seven states in northern India that are home to more than 350 million people. But Tuesday’s failure was even larger, hitting eastern and northeastern areas as well. Both blackouts cut power in the Indian capital, New Delhi. The power companies that operate the affected electricity grids reported the collapse Tuesday on their websites. With about 1.2 billion people, India has the second-highest population of any country, behind China. At least 300 trains have been held up in the affected regions, said Anil Kumar Saxena, a spokesman for Indian Railways. The two consecutive days of disruption are embarrassing for India, a nation growing in international stature and the third largest Asian economy. The power companies said they were working to restore the power supply. It was not immediately clear whether the blackouts were partial or total in the different regions. The grid failure on Monday struck in the early morning hours. Residents spent the rest of the night drenched in sweat amid humid weather, and many backup power systems had run out by daybreak. Power was partially restored after about six hours, authorities said. That blackout left passengers stranded at train stations, and signal failures caused traffic snarls that choked the Indian capital’s already congested roads during office hours. Indians, however, have been no stranger to power cuts, which become more common during the summer when demand shoots up. -CNN
     
    Storms cause widespread power failure across Pakistan: protests against outages turn violent
    Posted by
    July 31, 2012PAKISTAN - Prolonged and widespread power outage in most of Pakistan’s cities during scorching summer heat has triggered violent protests in most areas of the country. Coupled with hot and humid summer weather, the prolonged blackout has forced outraged citizens to take to the streets to protest the tough living conditions. The protests turned violent as some of the angry protesters reportedly attacked offices of the power supply department in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, damaging official and private properties. Offices of Pepco, the Pakistan Electric Power Company, were also attacked in Islamabad, Abbottabad, Charsadda, Okara, Multan, Mandi Bahauddin, Sialkot, and Sheikhupura and many of them were reportedly set ablaze. No loss of life was reported, but the roads were blocked till late night. Reports indicate that in some areas people face 12 to 14 hours of rolling blackouts, while the rural residents suffer up to 18 hours of power outage. On Friday, a powerful storm hit some of the country’s power plants, including one of Chashma Nuclear Power Plants and three other plants in Muzaffargarh, causing them to go fully or partly offline. In the meantime, Information Minister Zamar Kaira deflected the blame for the angry protests, saying they have been caused by “political maneuvering of the PML-N (Pakistan Muslim League (N))” rather than the prolonged outages. Pakistan’s lack of around 5,000 megawatts of electrical power has forced the government to implement a rolling blackout policy in a bid to prevent a total blackout. –Press TV
    26,000 lose power in Cayman Islands: July 25, 2012 – A power outage in Grand Cayman, which started at 6:30 this morning and lasted until late afternoon, crippled the entire island Wednesday. Businesses across Grand Cayman were forced to draw operations to a halt due to the loss of electricity, with many telling their employees to stay home. Hospitals used backup generators to continue offering services, while police had to be dispatched to direct motorists on the street due to the blackout. Caribbean Utilities Company, the only electricity provider on the island, said the outage was caused by a fault in one of its substations which affected the entire system. -RJR
     
     

    The Omnipotence of God by A.W. Tozer

    A little encouragement for the road ahead.  For those who aren't familiar with Tozer, he preached from roughly the twenty's into the sixty's.  He was unique in that he was not seminary trained, and therefore, had none of the prejudices that most preachers acquire from their respective mentors or seminaries.  He read the Bible and preached it as written.  Here's a taste. (Ps. 34:8)

    DOJ Suggests Criticism of Islam Could Be Criminalized

    This will happen, and it's my personal belief that it could happen as soon as 2013.  Christians who dare to quote verses like John 14:6 will find themselves in legal trouble, likely in jail for holding fast to their faith.   "Jesus said unto him, I am the way, the truth and the life;  no man comes unto the Father, but by Me." (John 14:6)

    Paul Joseph Watson

    In refusing to rule out a future law that would criminalize criticism of religion as racist hate speech, the Department of Justice has left the door open to the prospect of Shariah-style law in the United States that would forbid criticism of Islam.





    During a House Judiciary Committee Subcommittee on the Constitution, Rep. Trent Franks (R-Ariz) questioned Assistant Attorney General Tom Perez on whether the Justice Department would ever consider banning free speech critical of religion.

    “Will you tell us here today simply that this Administration’s Department of Justice will never entertain or advance a proposal that criminalizes speech against any religion?” asked Franks.

    Perez replied by asking for context before Franks repeated the question, adding, “That’s not a hard question.”

    Perez then tried to add the context of “when you make threats against someone,” but Franks stuck to his original question and repeated it for a third time.

    “Again sir, if you have a proposal that you are considering, we will actively review that proposal,” responded Perez.

    “OK, here’s my proposal. I’m asking you to answer a question, that’s my proposal. I’m proposing you answer this question,” said Franks, before repeating the question for a fourth time.

    Perez again refused to answer the question, asking for more context.

    When a member of the subcommittee offered to “rephrase” the question for Franks, he responded, “I’m asking my own questions, I’ll certainly allow you to ask yours.”

    “If the Department of Justice can’t even answer whether they will entertain or advance a proposal that criminalizes speech against any religion, then it’s pretty late in the day,” concluded Franks.

    Perez’ evasive response clearly indicates that the Department of Justice under the Obama administration would consider a law that would override the First Amendment and classify criticism of religion as racist hate speech.

    The mere fact that Perez refused to rule it out is shocking.

    As the New American reports, in October 2011, “Perez and other officials from the Justice Department attended a meeting at George Washington University where a an Egyptian-American lawyer suggested criminalizing speech against Islam.”

    Muslim scholars argue that under the terms of the Koran, insulting the Prophet Muhammad is a sin punishable by execution.

    Innumerable people around the world have been murdered for the “blasphemy” of criticizing Islam, including a Dutch filmmaker who was slain in Amsterdam after he released a documentary criticizing the treatment of women under Islam. Last year, two Pakistani ministers were killed by the Taliban for opposing a law that prescribed the death penalty for those criticizing Islam.

    Concerns that a limited form of Shariah law could be implemented in the United States on the back of an increasing immigrant population have heightened in recent years.

    Back in May, Republican Kansas Governor Sam Brownback signed a bill that banned “state courts and agencies from using Islamic or other non-U.S. laws when making decisions.” Around 20 other states have considered similar legislation.

    A June 2011 Center for Security Policy report found that “Shariah law has entered into state court decisions, in conflict with the Constitution and state public policy.”

    In 2010, a law approved by Oklahoma voters that would have barred state judges from considering Shariah law in making decisions was struck down by federal courts on the basis that it was “discriminatory”.

    In countries with high Muslim immigrant populations like the United Kingdom, the use of so-called Shariah councils to settle legal disputes is growing. Indeed, Shariah law has been operating parallel to the British legal system for civil cases since 1982, prompting calls for it to be banned.

    Jewish Home MK calls for a Third Temple in Jerusalem

    It will happen.  It's just a matter of when.  (Dan. 9:27, Matt. 24:15)

    Zevulun Orlev advocates a Basic Law to protect project from prosecution and ‘hostile, left-wing, secular media’



    MK Zevulun Orlev (photo credit: Miriam Alster/FLASH90)

    MK Zevulun Orlev of the Jewish Home party has called for massive reforms, including new Basic Laws, in order to establish a Third Temple in Jerusalem.

    In an article (PDF) published in advance of the fast of Tisha B’Av in the weekly Hebrew journal Olam Katan, entitled “Internal and Legislative Reform,” Orlev wrote that the Temple must be rebuilt in Jerusalem and that “fundamental changes” to Israeli society and government were necessary in order to realize the success of the project.

    Besides spiritual reform and the creation of a cadre of religious experts capable of running the Temple, Orlev argued that the government — “assuming the government will choose to be democratic” — must turn back dissent surrounding the project.
    “It will be necessary to defeat no-confidence motions, to overcome the hostile, left-wing, secular media, and to ignore eye-rolling economists who will say it’s a waste of public funds,” he wrote.

    To forestall appeals to the High Court of Justice, Orlev advocated the legislation of a new Basic Law that would guarantee funding and manpower and protect the Third Temple from prosecution.

    “The law will also protect the [Third Temple] project from accusations of discrimination, inequality of women in the Temple service, and animal cruelty in the offering of sacrifices,” Orlev continued.

    Orlev acknowledged that to remove the ”religious and political impediment” to his plan, namely the presence of the al-Aqsa Mosque and Dome of the Rock atop the Temple Mount, would mean that the “billion-strong Muslim world would surely launch a world war.” However, he added, “everything political is temporary and there is no stability,” and ”Of late we’re witnessed dramatic political changed that have occurred in many Arab countries.”

    Orlev recently advocated a bill to bypass the High Court of Justice and protect illegally constructed buildings in the Beit El neighborhood of Givat Ulpana that was struck down by the Knesset in June.

    Iran preparing Mahdi's Special Forces

    Iran and their President have repeatedly stated that their religious beliefs include World War.  They believe (like many occult groups) that "out of chaos" will come the order everyone desires.  Only in their case, "Mahdi", the Islamic version of a conquering savior will come to guide the world into the wonders of Allah and Islam. 

    by Reza Kahlili

    The Quds Forces, a special Iranian unit of thousands of operatives tasked with exporting Iran’s Islamic revolution, are being told to step up preparations for terrorism for the coming of the last Islamic messiah and the destruction of the West.

    Ali Saeedi, the Iranian supreme leader’s representative to the Revolutionary Guards, emphasized during a Friday sermon in Tehran that the Islamic republic must directly confront America so that the necessary environment is created for the reappearance of Mahdi, the Shiite’s 12th imam, who will kill all infidels and raise the flag of Islam in all corners of the world.

    “In three points of history, God directly confronts the will of unruly humans in which, of course, the Right will overcome the False,” Saeedi said, according to the Sepah News, the Guards’ official publication. “The first point in history was during the era of pharaoh, the second era was Bani Abbas, and the third is our current era in which it seems that God has willed us to enlighten the world with the coming of Imam Mahdi.”
    Saeedi, “Many of the signs [necessary] for the coming have taken place during the previous years; however, the main sign will take place right before the coming.”

    There are five levels of readiness that have to be prepared for the coming, he said: “Individual readiness, the readiness for creating the environment, systematic readiness, the readiness in the region and the international readiness. This means Occupy Wall Street must take place, the Americans must lose hope with the Democratic Party and others, and lose faith in the U.N., while at the same time the unraveling in the Middle East, which was not ripe before, must have taken place before the coming.”

    This is the first time a high-ranking Iranian official has stated on the record that the Quds Forces are not only involved in the region, but also internationally for a final confrontation with the West.

    “The Revolutionary Guards are one vehicle for preparation for the coming, and in the current Islamic Awakening [the Arab Spring] in the region and on international arena, the Quds Forces play a major role in preparing the readiness of the human force needed for such an event,” Saeedi said. “The chief commander of the Guards and the supreme leader’s representative are tasked for preparing the individual readiness, regional readiness as well as international readiness for the coming.”

    In another Guards’ weekly publication, Sobhe Sadegh, a front-page analysis explains that the opening of Iran’s geopolitics and the empowerment of its Islamic power are a reality in which Iran’s influence has expanded not only in the region, but also in Africa, Latin America, Eastern Asia and even in Europe and America.

    As was the fall of socialism and the Eastern bloc, the analysis promises, so will be the fall of the capitalism and liberal democracy.

    The analysis refers to the statements of the founder of the Islamic revolution, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini:
    • “I say with all certainty that the 21st century will be the century of Islam.”
    • “I say with all certainty that Islam will conquer all key entrenchments of the world.”
    • “I say with all certainty that Islam will defeat all world powers.”
    • “I say with all certainty that the 21st century is the century where the oppressed will be victorious over the oppressors.”

    While the Quds Forces have recently expanded their operations in shipment of explosives to Latin America, Africa and other places in the world, and at the same time have put terror cells on high alert for terrorist acts, the Islamic regime in Iran has expanded its nuclear program in which over 11,000 centrifuges are now running at two facilities, increasing its enriched uranium stock.

    Is Yi Shiwen the First Genetically Altered Olympian?

    I sympathize with this young Chinese athlete who now has two gold medals at the age of 16.  But a girl who can swim faster than the male world champions is going to draw some questions.  It has simply never happened before.  The male champion swimmers are on average about 15% faster than the females.  It's a physical makeup thing, with men on average possessing about 10% more muscle and less fat.  It's why the NBA has about 400 men who can dunk a ball during a game and the WNBA has one.  Can women best men in swimming events?  Yes.  Can the best women beat the best men in swimming events?  It's never happened before. 

    So how fast was she?  Try faster than Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte, two American mens world champions.  Consider that in sprint events in swimming and track that the difference between the gold medal and finishing fourth or lower is usually less than 1%.  Any alteration that could enhance an athletes natural abilities 10% or more is a massive leap among elite athletes.  Below is an excerpt from a Reuters news report.

    "Doubts over Ye's display, and whether it was humanly possible without performance-enhancing drugs, surfaced after her stunning 400 individual medley display on Saturday which swiftly became the talk of the Olympic village.

    She trailed American world champion Elizabeth Beisel after the penultimate breaststroke leg before a devastating finish over the final two freestyle lengths.

    Ye covered the penultimate one in 29.75 seconds, faster than medal-laden Michael Phelps in the men's medley final, and the last in 28.93, quicker than Ryan Lochte did in winning the men's event.

    She also became the first female swimmer to break a world record since the ban of hi-tech suits, taking more than a second off the previous benchmark.

    "Interesting" and "insane" were two words used to describe the race by former Olympians quoted in the New York Times, although many coaches and athletes rallied behind Ye on Tuesday as the furore grew."

    As the article below points out, genetic modification is not just for James Bond movies anymore.

    Genetically modified athletes: Forget drugs. There are even suggestions some Chinese athletes' genes are altered to make them stronger

    By John Naish

    The controversy over Chinese swimmer Ye Shiwen’s astonishing gold medal performance this week is no longer confined to just the suspicions of drug abuse, which she emphatically denies.
    It has raised concerns about another worrying — and infinitely more sinister — threat to the world of honest competition: the genetic enhancement of athletes.
    John Leonard, the highly respected American director of the World Swimming Coaches Association, described the 16-year-old’s world-record-breaking performance as ‘suspicious’, ‘disturbing’ and ‘unbelievable’.
    The record-breaking achievements of China's 16-yea-old Ye Shiwen in the swimming pool have caused some to suggest she is taking performance enhancing drugs

    ‘Any time someone has looked like superwoman in the history of our sport they have later been found guilty of doping,’ he added.
    He went on to say that the authorities who tested Ye Shewin for drug abuse should also check to see ‘if there is something unusual going on in terms of genetic manipulation’.
    A Chinese anti-doping official, Jiang Zhixue, described Leonard’s claims as completely unreasonable.

    The astonishing suggestion seems to be that London 2012 may be the first Olympics in which competitors are attempting to cheat by altering their genes to build muscle and sinew, and boost their blood’s oxygen-carrying powers.

    Truth VS Lie SDA, Mormons, Muslims, Jehovah witness

    Good analogy here on why believing in some version of Jesus Christ other than the truth blocks our vision of the Son of God.

    Illuminati Occult Symbolism in The 2012 London Olympics Opening Ceremony

    Some deep stuff here, as always when talking symbolism.  We must always remember that anytime a person or group spends a lot of money and hours to create something, they do so with a message to convey.  Every detail has a purpose, a meaning.  Reading the meaning in such works is the key to uncoding the hidden hand at work in our world.  And knowledge is power.


    If you were scratching your head watching the Olympic opening ceremony, and thinking to yourself, “what on earth has this got to do with sport”? then you were not alone.

    If, on the other hand, you are like me, and understand how these ancient bloodlines use the power of symbols and ritual to hypnotize the uninitiated, then you could still be in a state of bewilderment as to the sheer bluntness of last night’s bloodline ritual masquerading as a sporting event.

    From the moment of the opening countdown (which featured the number ‘9’ on a London Red Bus and a musical soundtrack with some curious back-masking) it was obvious that much of this blatant symbolism would set the tone.

    The Bible is dominated by two cities. The most frequently mentioned city is Jerusalem, “the city of God”. Second to Jerusalem is Babylon, “the city of man”, mentioned over 250 times in the Bible. Babylon is the birth place of false religions, black magic and paganism.

    The name Nimrod roughly translates to “rebel” and Babel is roughly translated to “gateway to the gods”. Mystery Babylon represents corruption; it’s a very sophisticated counterfeit system and attempts to sell itself as an original.

    “Mystery, Babylon the Great, the mother of harlots and abominations of the earth” [Revelation 17:5] The scene was a British meadow with a tree that was raised on a hill.

    The first two songs played appeared to be subtly themed around Babylon and Jerusalem. Could the hill have represented the ancient Tower of Babylon?

    The Opening: Babylon
    The Olympic ceremony opened with an orchestra playing Nimrod by Enigma Variations. King Nimrod was the world’s first dictator and as builder of the Tower of Babel he was considered to be the “First and most excellent Master” of the Freemason fraternity.

    The original “World Order” can be traced back to Babylon where, King Nimrod was rebellious and resentful of God (YHWH), he had a vision of heading a single global government to control the economic, political and religious issues throughout the world.

    In order to prevent Nimrod implementing a New World Order, YHWH confused the languages causing the citizens to spread out and inhabit new lands, mystery Babylon became fragmented and the concept of a New World Order died.

    The Maypole dance was showcased within the first minutes of the ceremony, a traditional folkdance popular in Western Europe. Like so many adopted western traditions, the Maypole dance is ancient pagan worship. This “Fertility Rite” involves the Maypole which represents the male principle (the phallus).

    The ribbons represent the female principle and the wreath at the top represents the virgina of the goddess. Some researchers believe the Maypole dance can be traced as far back as ancient Babylon.

    Jerusalem
    After the Olympic bell was rung, a song named Jerusalem was sung by a young boy before he was joined by a children’s choir.

    “And did those feet in ancient time walk upon England’s mountains green? And was the holy Lamb of God on England’s pleasant pastures seen? And did the countenance divine shine forth upon our clouded hills? And was Jerusalem builded here among these dark Satanic Mills”

    The children’s choir continued to sing as men with mutton-chops wearing traditional top hats and black suits gathered around a British meadow. A tree that was raised on a hill before Kenneth Branagh (dressed as Isambard Kingdom Brunel, a famous British engineer) read from Shakespeare’s The Tempest.

    For Shakespeare expert James Shapiro (an English professor at Columbia University), it was a strange choice. “Why you would choose Caliban’s lines as — in a sense — a kind of anthem for the Olympics, I’m not sure. Why give him the lines Shakespeare wrote for a half-man, half-beast”

    Magic, through Shakespeare’s play The Tempest, is a theme of the 2012 Olympic Games. A giant figure holding a wand (thought to be Prospero from The Tempest) and a cauldron feature in stadium preparations for the opening ceremony.

    The Tempest is thought by most scholars to have been written in 1610–11, and is generally accepted as the last play that Shakespeare wrote alone. Scholars have noted the numerous parallels between Shakespeare’s final work and famous occultist Francis Bacon’s final book New Atlantis.

    In The Tempest travelers arrive at an island ruled by Prospero, the Magus who has mastery over all nature, and Prospero’s farewell to his art in the play is the Bard’s farewell to his work. In New Atlantis the travelers arrive at an island ruled by a Society called Salomon’s House (Solomon’s House) which has achieved mastery over all nature.

    New Atlantis depicts Bacon’s vision of man’s mastery over nature, and this work is a summing up and a farewell to Bacon’s lifework. Both works depict travelers who arrive at an island filled with wonders. In the first case the wonders of science, in the second case the wonders of magic, both of which give mastery over all nature. Bacon, it is important to note, said that science in its higher form is magic.

    The surface parallels between New Atlantis and The Tempest are obvious. But beneath the surface there are more parallels, and more specific identities between the two works. So many, in fact, that they provide strong evidence for Bacon’s authorship of The Tempest.

    As both The Tempest and New Atlantis depict societies ruled over by an elite made gods by virtue of their secret knowledge both works serve to define the occult philosophy of the Rosecrucians, Freemasons and the Illuminati.

    Bacon’s alleged connection to the Rosicrucians and the Freemasons has been widely discussed by authors and scholars in many books and a very good case can be made for him as the author of all Shakespeare’s plays.

    Olympic opening ceremony preparations
    As part of the Olympic occult ritual the British sheople are invited to participate in Work No. 1197 – those looking for numeric connections to 9/11 and 7/7 won’t have to work too hard. Others may notice 1+1+9+7=18 (6+6+6).

    Work No. 1197: All the bells in a country rung as quickly and as loudly as possible for three minutes by Turner Prize-winning artist and musician Martin Creed is a London 2012 Festival commission and will be performed by you.

    Witches’ altar bells have been used for centuries in spell crafting. The ringing of a bell supposedly unleashes vibrations which have powerful effects. Some witches use bells for removing unwanted or negative energies as well as calling in spirits.

    The bell is often used to invoke the Goddess in wiccan witchcraft ritual. Bells are rung during rituals to signal the beginning or ending of a spell. The outer portion of a bell is referred to as the female. The hammer is seen as the male.

    Ringing a bell signifies and celebrates an occasion or moment in time; clears and purifies the space for this time. Also by ringing a bell perception and awareness can be altered. Wiccan bells are rung to outline portions of rituals and celebrations.

    The UK’s national bell ringing ritual is to take place at 8:12am on 27 July, the day of the 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony. A start time of 8:12am is unusual to say the least; Ian R. Crane speculates that it is the reverse of 12/8 (12 August in British date format) when the Olympic Closing Ceremony takes place.

    Members of the occult are known to write backwards as a secret sign to other initiates and 12 August may be a particularly significant date for them. Bells are to be rung continuously for 3 minutes or 3 x 60 seconds (666). The BBC report on preparations for the event is brought to you from Devil’s Bridge in Wales.

    Continuing the bell ringing theme it has been announced that the opening ceremony for the London Olympics will begin with the ringing of the world’s largest tuned bell.
    The precedent for a bell being cast especially for an Olympic opening ceremony is the 1936 Berlin games in Nazi Germany.

    A 27 tonne bell is being produced especially for £27 million opening ceremony on 27 July [7], some one’s keen on the number 27, which is significant in religion, philosophy and the occult.

    In keeping with the magical, satanic theme music directors of the Olympic opening ceremony are Underworld, the British electronic music duo, comprised of Rick Smith and Karl Hyde.

    The London Olympic bell is to be inscribed with the words, “Be not afeard; the isle is full of noises.”taken from Shakespeare’s play The Tempest; the phrase is spoken in the play by Caliban who is forced into servitude after Prospero and his cohorts occupy the island. Propero considers Caliban to be literally spawn of the devil.
    Many theater productions portray Caliban as a monster
    The bloodline families have placed their symbols all over the 2012 Olympics from the outset. The lighted torch, or the flame of illumination, is an ancient symbol of the Illuminati, representing the hidden knowledge that has been withheld from the human race at large, and known only to the initiates of the mystery schools.

    Sir Evelyn de Rothschild made sure he got in on the act last year, when he was photographed holding the Olympic torch, or the flame of illumination. Moreover, the word “Zion” was clearly discernible in the Olympic logo. For those of you who do not know what Zion means, it is the political agenda to establish the state of Israel in Palestine and a “New Jerusalem” – or a “New World Order”.

    The goal of the esoteric cabal that coordinates the Zionist agenda is the creation of a One World Government. This was referenced in the ceremony by the forging of the five rings – representing the five continents of the earth coming together under the auspices of a global supranational authority.

    The term Israel is really Is Ra El – the amalgamation of the Ancient Egyptian and Canaanite deities of Ra, Isis, and El. The ruling bloodlines originate from Sumeria, Babylon, Canaan and Egypt.

    They were the original adherents of the mystery cults, the Ancient Priest Class, and Pharaohs. They became the European Royal bloodlines, and the Venetian banking oligarchs.

    A major symbol of the ruling bloodline families is the Pyramid and the All-Seeing Eye. This represents the wisdom and knowledge that only the initiated or the “illuminated” have access to. The most famous use of this symbol is to be found on the Great Seal of the United States.

    It is a symbol commonly found in masonic lodges all over the world, and dates back at least to Ancient Egypt. In its depiction on the Great Seal, the Pyramid has 13 steps – the sacred 12 and 1.

    If you were paying attention last night, you would have recognised that the Olympic Stadium floodlights are, in fact, depictions of the All-Seeing Eye (as indeed are the Olympic mascots). And of course, if you count them…there are 13!!



    The ceremony itself in large parts was a narrative on the development of modern human history. The ceremony told the story of how Britain’s “green and pleasant land” was transformed by the Industrial Revolution and the “dark satanic mills” from William Blake’s poem.

    Everything from the emancipation of women, to the twentieth century wars, the establishment of the NHS, and finally to the modern digital age was covered – all overseen by the 13 All-Seeing Eyes, representing the 13 ruling bloodliness of the Illuminati. In other words, they were telling us that they have been the controlling force behind the development of our history.
