Sunset & Landscape On Mars

I'm enjoying these Rover shots on Mars even if they drip feed them out despite the taxpayers paying for them. The sunset is particularly interesting as it gives a sense of scale because the sun is larger to us on Earth because of our proximity. One way of understanding why our sun/moon relationship has intelligence in its positioning is to ask yourself what size Mars' moons Demos and Phobos have as they orbit the planet and what the odds are that they would perfectly eclipse the sun as our moon does? 

Or put another way, Phobos doesn't even look round as the picture below shows. It also whips around Mars almost four times faster than Mars rotates if I'm not mistaken giving it a somewhat artificial satellite status.

Buzz Aldrin says there's a monolith on Phobos too but we haven't heard much about that since though fair play for at least trying. The Mars landscape I've posted above really needs to be examined closely. To me it looks more like magnificent desolation. Which is coincidentally the name of Buzz Aldrin's curiously titled book. Something must be in good order first before it can be desolated no?

Real Journalists Don't Ask Questions (Speak Up Or Forever Hold Your Tongue)

Between Jon Stewart & Stephen Colbert television interviews and criticism of the Bush/Rumsfeld war crimes era has been defended microscopically but honourably. My question is how much more of the Uniuted States is upside down if the comedians do the cultural watchdogs job while the journalists and news presenters do political theatre? 

There's a lot that is twisted, and until the difference between right and wrong is discerned corrrectly by enough people in the United States no amount of innovation, or wealth generation can put a plaster over the metastasizing tumour. 

Speak up or watch it go down. Your silence is the silence of fingers crossed, service to self delusion. You're all in it together.


Update: Clif says the same thing as me at the same time. It's time to speak up or forever hold your tongue.

Christopher Knowles On Grok The Talk With Touchstone Tom

Listen to radio with Touchstone Tom 

Christopher Knowles is interviewed by Touchstone Tom (Malone) on Grok The Talk to explore one of the many fascinating themes of his unique blog, The Secret Sun. Topics covered include Synchronicity, Masonic and Egyptian memes and symbols, reflections of the Sirius glyph, Tutankhamen and much, much more in the way that only Christopher can so eloquently do. It's interesting to me that Christopher talks about the Romans appropriating the Egyptian symbols of Isis and that the very DNA of Egypt was embedded in Rome.

Take that thought one step further with the transcription of Akhenaten and Nefertiti's DNA from the visual above and this post here.
