Philip Coppens On The Ancient Aliens Question



I've always found Philip Coppen's research and opinion measured and thoughtful. However he's a big fan of Carl Sagan and I've heard reports that Carl was fully aware of some ET secrets. Here's a quote from a friend of mine who has more than a cursory understanding of the subject.



Sagan was an insider. He knew the truth about many things we discuss here. But nothing ever came out his mouth in public that didn't play down what he KNEW was the presence of ET on earth and that they should be differentiated between EBEs. His nonsense about "billions and billions of stars"...just to make the likelihood of contact seem that more improbable was just as staged as the stupid premises of the science fiction debacle he wrote. To call him a lying whore might hurt your friend's feelings but he was little more.



Well, that settles that then. However differences aside, Philip write's very well over on lots more subjects than just aliens at his website.

Here's To The Crazy Ones. The Misfits, The Occupiers




Adland insists it has a finger on the cultural pulse but in recent months its counter-intuitive incentive to pretend the outside world doesn't exist is in full swing. It's a little bit like NYPD beating peaceful protesters while the rest of the world waits for a banker to be arrested. Everybody knows it's a sham but those within the NYPD and banking circles are obliged to stifle their own consciences because it pays the bills. Interestingly those least sensitive to this injustice are statistically most exposed to the news agendas of the corporate media that put profits before people by portraying in the news, peaceful protesters as undesirable. This is all paid for by brands in the commercial breaks. It's branded lying.

So is Adland now finally decoupled from a love of Apple-endorsed misfits, embrace of mistakes and lionization of authenticity in social media? 


While Adland ignores the outside world it's plain to see that the fundamentals are changing? It would be a piss poor planner who failed to extrapolate the momentum of failing markets, degraded ecology, consumer debt exhaustion and most critically the first global protest to ignite all continents including culturally deferential Asia.

And to be silent about it is the nail in the branded coffin.

It's a mistake if brands are going to grow up and be part of the future. The service to self consumer culture is inextricably linked with capitalism's ferocious greed. If 20th century advertising collapsed, along with the Euro or Dollar tomorrow (not inconceivable), it would leave brands as an historical anomaly of less significance than gentleman's wig wearing which lasted for over two hundred years.

Get out into the world and speak up about the difference between right and wrong. If you're unsure what that is, the heart knows more then the brain. 

Ask your heart. Is this the right thing? It will speak to you.

Are You Still Not Sure What A Webbot Is?




Not everyone has time to explore the new but this explanation of Clif High's Webbot is the most concise I've heard yet. Also you'll get to learn the difference between rising tension and release language which is crucial to understanding the forecast reports that Clif High publishes and which are proving to be the most innovative use of biology and technology with a little psychic metrics and linguistics thrown in for good measure. You can order his $10 reports over here. They've been a crucial part of my 'navigating the present' information resources.
