Our Reptilian Brains (The R-Complex)

Of all the subjects that has people shaking their heads in absolute surety before heading back to the safety and reality of FOX news its the reptilian topic within the alien genre. There's an irony there in so much as the amygdala or reptile brain is very much part of human biology and neurology. 

The amygdala is the fight or flight part of the brain that chooses not to weigh up all the evidence when quick decisions are needed, and so its unavoidably amusing that people running away from the subject are deploying the part of the brain that prevents most learning about reptilian brains. 

Epistemologically it's like refusing to engage the cerebral cortex in order to study how the cerebral cortex came into being so rapidly. If one questions the veracity of evolutionary theory's punctuated equilibrium, it's an overnight appearance in terms of evolutionary time and like waking up one morning without a bicameral mind. But you wont even get that far if you've shut down the cerebrum faculties because the amygdala simply isn't up to the task. Good at erections and a rush of adrenaline if that's more your thing.

I was watching Arthur C Clarke earlier of 2001 Space Odyssey fame and wondering how an artist writer could also be so talented as to propose the invention of the earth shrinking satellite when I heard him repeat a line that if any description of the future isn't so fantastic it's unbelievable it's as likely to be not up to scratch, and I thought that an appropriate way to end this post.

Bohemian Grove vs Bilderberg All Stars

There was a time before The Guardian exposed the Bilderberg Club as global corporatists suspiciously and excessively protecting privacy with intimidation and violence, that people would wheel out the tired and ill informed conspiracy epithet. Not any more. The attention on the Bilderbergs is scrutinised more closely now, and attendance is dropping under the glare of transparency. Davos has lost it's shine too I've noticed.

So is Bohemian Grove the new Bilderberg Group? It's a bit more exclusive, all male, heavily American centric and once again loaded with ritualism, symbolism and ceremonial sacrifices with powerful men running around naked in the woods every summer.

Vigilant citizen have just served up some lovely videos including Alex Jones confronting a very jittery Nixon, Ford, Clinton, Reagan political consultant called David Gergen. Does he look a man who might have been caught on camera doing satanic worship things? Oh yeah, All these presidents attended too.

Marc Dutroux & The Bilderbergs

I still can't shake off that idea that sacrificing humans in ritual sexual satanic ceremonies actually transfers some sort of human force field from the victim to the abusers. A sort of abuse of Kundalini energy. To me human energy is as real as the energy of the Sun.

I heard a reliable account of ritualised abuse through Jay Weidner and it just rung true. I immediately recalled an earlier comment from the child murder case of Marc Dutroux in Belgium. I paid little attention to it at the time except for the evidence that the police behaved suspiciously  incompetent, and a remark from Dutroux that if we knew the real story and who was involved it would shake Brussels and the world to the core. Brussels is the home of weirdos like NATO and the European parliament. I get the occasional bad vibe from people who've talked about a scene from there. It feels ugly although the city itself is beautiful.

Earlier while looking up some stuff I came across a reference to connections between the Bilderberg group and Dutroux so I watched this video and frankly I'm staggered to learn that as many as 27 witnesses died during the investigation and that the jury formally protested against the judges behaviour. The original judge Jean-Marc Connerotte was forced to tears when his life was threatened by shadowy powerful people in high places including politics and the police.

I guess my question is what if we're sidetracked by the sexual abuse and thus pay insufficient attention to the ritualised aspects of it? As I understand it The Bilderberg Group is more of a recruiting ground for up and coming global titans or those on the slide down, as one comment put it. I'm not suggesting that they're all ritualistic abusers. One would be enough. Two would be a trend.

Anunnaki - Dont Watch This Film

It's my belief that the Anunnaki left disinformation in the shape of those cuneiform clay tablets in Sumeria which means that Zecharia Sitchin's analysis is flawed. However there's still good information to be picked out of all this by the seasoned researcher who is sensitive to the hand of disinformation.

Mother Earth, Father Sun

The weather has been bad in Thailand for months and months. The city Thais don't mention it because they don't make the connection between changed weather and crops but that will change if a rice harvest fails - till then it's a change from the heat isn't it?

I found the last week almost unbearable but this morning the sun is back and shining some rays of heat 'n love back into my eyes so I'm cheerful.

Here's my top three off the top of my head sun songs:

ECETI Ranch & Black Ops Government

I blogged recently about James Gilliland and his extraordinary connection to UFO sightings over the ECETI Ranch near Mount Adams, Washington. I feel very comfortable listening to people who are humble and spiritual talking about these subjects and James is exactly that. He did talk about government harassment in those videos I posted including chemical spraying, bullets and black helicopters with equipment that seems to disrupt human energies for want of a better explanation.

I've just learned that the legal harassment is becoming intolerable and expensive and that this may force ECETI Ranch to close. This is a shame and unreasonable in light of official statements that there's no substance to the claims being made by the ranch. If there's nothing there, why the pressure to close them down? Why the persecution?

You can listen to William Henry's latest interview with James Gilliand over at Unknown Country.

Benevolent UFOs Over Japan?

I've been keeping an eye on this story for a few weeks but the sheer volume of video content with odd shapes flying into the picture is way beyond the capacity of a people who have just been decimated by an earth shock, tsunami and radiation contamination. People have got better things to do than make Youtube clips so it's worth digging around for yourself and making your own mind up.

Ian Taylor

I first met Ian in Phnom Penh about 10 years ago when I was probably one of only two Western Planners in Thailand. He was just about to move to Bangkok to do the same job so we had something in common from the get go. Ian was quickly cynical about the advertising proposition process (long before it became fashionable to diss propositions) so he wrote a bit of code that produced an auto proposition  generator. I found it hilarious (and unnervingly accurate given the politics that goes into that process).

Since then we've both moved on from the high octane world of consumer materialism. Aside from being a truly gifted photographer, Ian is the single most interesting Asia adventurer and traveller I know. He just got back from a resumed Kayak trip down the coast of Burma and Thailand as the first attempt had to be cut off due to some exotic tropical illness he picked up. Probably from eating wild roots and strange sea marsupials or something.

Last time we hooked up for a chat Ian had me gagging at the bit to fly to Calcutta with tales of poets and Marxist philosophers trying to hold onto some sort of anti materialist ideology in the face of rampant consumerism and erm not much money. I'd fit in there wouldn't I?

Ian's now pinging between Hong Kong and Bangkok a bit more. All of his photography makes me envious but if there's one thing Ian nails better than anyone it's his kids shots. Go check his work out over here if you want a guy to squeeze a great photo out.

...listening to trance again after many years of looking down upon it as inferior to minimal techno and 'for the kids'. However technically most of Booka Shade's work is trance if you speed it up a wee bits and I've loved most of their work. So it's trance on Thursday. Break out the glow sticks :)

Barefoot Running

I've taken up running again and I noticed my new unused trainers nearly disintegrated at the seams. They've been in storage for a long time and under hot conditions so the glue appears to have perished. Instead of waiting to buy a new pair and in the spirit of just doing it I went for a barefoot run and I really like it. The feet took a few weeks to get over the blisters I created but they've healed and seem to be tougher now, though on hot days I'm probably cooking the soles of my feet too so I'm careful to choose specific surfaces and take advantage of soil and grass wherever I can.

As is the case with much of my life these days, I think about things and then it drops into my data stream and so this presentation on barefoot running turned up on fora.tv last week. It starts off with some dance but settles into the topic after that.

I really like the no ipod, pseudo psycho geography, plain shorts and contact with ground feel. I get a fair bit attention from people which makes the runs more fun and fly by quicker than if I was kitted out with brand labels, jogging software and expensive trainers. It's just me, some shorts and ...well that's it really. Feels good and might not be for everyone but is working out for me.
