Jeffrey Epstein was a fake billionaire set up by intelligence services. His private island functioned as a massive child sex trafficking ring that was used to collect blackmail on the global elite (billionaires, celebrities and politicians, etc) pic.twitter.com/P4YjQF7Kzb
With the war claiming many U.S. aircraft, the military wanted to
increase the armor protection of their bombers to increase their
survivability, but they were unsure of the best places to put this armor
and were frankly unqualified to find out themselves.

4.0)Where do you go with such a specific issue? The Statistical Research Group, of course!
The group was given the task of analyzing the damage received by
Allied aircraft from enemy fire, and recommending the best way to
increase their chances of survival. It was here that Wald made massive
bounds in “survivorship bias.”
When bombers returned from missions, they’d often come home covered
with bullet holes. However, these bullet holes were not evenly
distributed around the aircraft, but were actually concentrated on the
wings and fuselage, almost twice as much as places like the engines.
Why were bullets concentrating on the fuselage and wings? Were German
pilots trained to aim there? Were they firing futuristic homing
bullets? Military officers came to the seemingly obvious conclusion that
the armor should be added in these areas, as after all, they were
taking the most fire, right?
Not quite. Wald quickly realized what was happening, and the solution was simple.
Bullets holes weren’t found on areas like the engines because aircraft that had been shot here didn’t come home! Wald believed
bullets were actually hitting the aircraft equally all over, but
because the ones hit in the most vulnerable areas didn’t come home, the
data incorrectly suggested that these areas weren’t being hit at all.

The only aircraft that could be examined were those that came home —
the survivors. The aircraft that were being brought down weren’t
available for inspection, thus creating the survivorship bias.
The massive amount of damage on bombers’ fuselages and wings was
actually evidence that these areas did not need reinforcing, as they
were clearly able to take a large amount of punishment. Therefore, as
Wald concluded, the armor should be placed on the areas that seemingly
received the least damage.
FAIR | The United States is on the verge of a constitutional crisis, one
that enlivens the nationalist fervor of Trump America and that centers
on a violent, racist closed-border policy.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (NBC, 1/14/24):
“The only thing we are not doing is we’re not shooting people who come
across the border, because, of course, the Biden administration would
charge us with murder.”
In January, the Supreme Court,
with a five-vote majority that included both Republican and Democratic
appointees, ruled that federal agents can “remove the razor wire that
Texas state officials have set up along some sections of the US/Mexico
border” to make immigration more dangerous (CBS, 1/23/24). The state’s extreme border policy is not merely immoral as an idea, but has proven to be deadly and torturous in practice (USA Today, 8/3/23; NBC, 1/14/24; Texas Observer, 1/17/24).
In a statement (1/22/24),
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton decried the decision, saying that it
“allows Biden to continue his illegal effort to aid the foreign invasion
of America.” Paxton, a Republican, vowed that the “fight is not over,
and I look forward to defending our state’s sovereignty.”
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, also a Republican, “is doubling down, blocking the agents from entering the area,” the PBS NewsHour (1/25/24) reported. PBS
quoted Abbott declaring that the state’s constitutional authority is
“the supreme law of the land and supersedes any federal statutes to the
contrary.”
University of Texas law professor Stephen Vladeck (Houston Chronicle, 1/26/24) observed that Abbott’s position “has eerie parallels to arguments advanced by Southerners during the Antebellum era.”
For
a great many people, a Southern state invoking its “sovereignty” over
the federal government in defense of violent and inhumane policing of
non-white people sounds eerily familiar to the foundation of the
nation’s first civil war. And 25 other states are supporting Texas in
defying the Supreme Court (USA Today, 1/26/24), although none of them are states that border Mexico.
Texas media are sounding the alarm about this conflict. The Texas Tribune (1/25/24):
From
the Texas House to former President Donald Trump, Republicans across
the country are rallying behind Gov. Greg Abbott’s legal standoff with
the federal government at the southern border, intensifying concerns
about a constitutional crisis amid an ongoing dispute with the Biden
administration.
Houston public media KUHF (1/24/24)
said this “could be the beginning of a constitutional crisis.”
University of Texas law professor Stephen Vladeck said in an op-ed in
the Houston Chronicle (1/26/24) that Abbott’s position is a “dangerous misreading” of the Constitution.
Other legal scholars are watching with concern. Erwin Chemerinsky,
dean of the law school of the University of California at Berkeley,
told FAIR, “I think that this is reminiscent of Southern governors
disobeying the Supreme Court’s desegregation decisions.” He added, “I
agree that it is a constitutional crisis in the sense that this is a
challenge to a basic element of the Constitution: the supremacy of
federal law over state law.”
But the New York Times has not covered the issue since the Supreme Court decision came down (1/21/24). The AP (1/27/24)
framed the story around Donald Trump, saying the former president
“lavished praise” on the governor “for not allowing the Biden
administration entry to remove razor wire in a popular corridor for
migrants illegally entering the US.” The Washington Post (1/26/24) did show right-wing politicians and pundits were using the standoff to grandstand about a new civil war. NPR (1/22/24) covered the Supreme Court case, but has fallen behind on the aftermath.
The “legal expert” quoted in Fox News‘ headline (1/25/24) works for America First Legal, a group founded by white nationalist Stephen Miller to “oppose the radical left’s anti-jobs, anti-freedom, anti-faith, anti-borders, anti-police, and anti-American crusade.”
Meanwhile, Fox News (1/25/24, 1/25/24, 1/27/24)
has given Texas extensive and favorable coverage of its feud with the
White House, citing its own legal sources (from America First Legal and
the Edwin Meese III Center—1/25/24) saying that Texas was in the right and the high court was in the wrong.
Breitbart celebrated Abbott’s defiance as a states’ rights revolution, with a series of articles labeled “border showdown” (1/24/24, 1/24/24, 1/24/24, 1/25/24, 1/28/24) and several others about Republican governors standing with Texas in solidarity (1/26/24, 1/28/24).
The white nationalist publication American Renaissance (1/25/24)
stood with Abbott but lowered the temperature, saying that it is
“unclear whether this could cause a constitutional crisis, but the
optics are not great for the White House in an election year.” “This
will not be a ‘Civil War’ or anything close to it unless someone on the
ground wildly miscalculates by firing on the Texas National Guard,” the
openly racist outlet asserted. Rather, the publication saw Abbott as
recentering the immigration debate as a way to weaken President Joe
Biden’s reelection chances. “We couldn’t hope for a better start to the
election-year campaign,” it said.
The National Review (1/28/24)
admitted that Abbott is probably wrong on the constitutional question.
Nevertheless, it called him the “MVP of border hawks” for orchestrating a
public relations coup by forcing the federal government’s hand:
Abbott
has managed to get the federal government in the position of actually
removing physical barriers to illegal immigration at the border and
insisting that it is imperative that it be permitted to continue doing
so. This alone is a PR debacle for the administration, but it comes in a
controversy—with its fraught legal and constitutional implications—that
will garner massive attention out of proportion to its practical
importance.
This is impressive by any measure.
The support
of Republican states for Abbott elevates the matter further, but this
also is a relatively small thing. The backing for Abbott is entirely
rhetorical at this point and perhaps not very serious on the part of
some Republican governors. It nonetheless serves to elevate a conflict
over security on a small part of the border into what feels like a
larger confrontation between all of Red America and the federal
government.
twitter | The Epstein Files. Today a tranche of documents were released in a case involving Jeffrey Epstein. There’s no revelations. Jeffrey Epstein’s case was covered up. I can explain why.
In 2017, my lawyer Marc Randazza found a wonky freedom of the press case. There was a defamation case, and although Jeffrey Epstein wasn’t named as a defendant, the case was central to some “conspiracy theories.” Marc asked me if I wanted to file a motion to intervene. We expected it to be a simple matter.
Media interest was almost zero. No one in the “free press” cared. Then Trump nominated Alexander Acosta to the Secretary of Labor. Acosta had handled the original Epstein criminal case, and said Epstein was given kid gloves treatments due to protection from the intelligence community.
Epstein was an asset of the FBI. What his exact relation was remains sealed.
By 2019 the case I sought to intervene in had an ORANGE MAN BAD angle because Acota was Trump’s Labor Secretary. Even if the motives were impure, at least we were on to the races.
Hundreds-of-thousands of dollars later, a trip to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, and a lot of fighting, we had a batch of documents ready to be unsealed.
The weekend before the documents were made public, SDNY arrested Epstein quietly when he landed his private jet on an airport from a trip he took in France. No perp walk for Epstein.
In 2019 I wrote the following after a press conference was held re: Epstein’s arrest:
" Why didn’t the SNDY charge Jeffrey Epstein under the Mann Act? Under the Mann Act, it’s unlawful to transport an underage girl through interstate travel, including on an airplane."
"In a widely-publicized press conference the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York announced sex trafficking charges against Jeff Epstein."
"Epstein was charged for paying minors for massages from 2002 to 2005. Yet what was more newsworthy was the what the indictment left out."
"The indictment against Epstein does not charge anyone except Epstein, and there’s nothing to indicate that anyone who flew to Epstein’s private island has faced scrutiny."
"The SDNY’s actions have all of the telltale signs of containment. Because the Miami Herald and Cernovich won a civil lawsuit, leading to over 2,000 records being unsealed, it’s simply impossible for the same Feds who gave Epstein a pass years ago to continue to cover up."
"The SDNY could have charged Epstein in 2002, 2003, 2004, or at anytime until today. Yet they did not file charges until the Second Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that previously sealed records involving Jeff Epstein would become public record.Thus they are charging him without implicating anyone else who assisted with his operation."
You know what happened next. Epstein committed suicide.
Because SDNY charged the lowest level offenses possible, they “lacked jurisdiction” to raid Epstein’s island in Little St James, as well as his New Mexico and Paris properties. Those houses were left unattended for a couple of weeks.
During that time, a safe went missing. During the Ghislaine Maxwell trial, it was reported:
Evidence from Jeffrey Epstein's safe 'went missing' after FBI raid.
What was in the safe? We’ll never know for certain. We do know that the FBI has Jeffrey Epstein’s blackmail files.
The real Jeffrey Epstein files are the blackmail material.
Very powerful forces have made sure we will never see it.

Federal prosecutors said Friday that they do not plan to proceed with
a second trial against Sam Bankman-Fried, citing public interest in a
speedy resolution of the case that has seemingly irritated those who
were hoping to see the disgraced FTX founder prosecuted to the fullest extent.
In a Friday letter filed in federal court in Manhattan, prosecutors
said they do “not plan to proceed with a second trial” as “much of the
evidence that would be offered in a second trial was already offered in
the first trial and can be considered by the Court at the defendant’s
March 2024 sentencing.”
“Given that practical reality, and the strong public interest in a
prompt resolution of this matter, the Government intends to proceed to
sentencing on the counts for which the defendant was convicted at
trial,” the prosecutors added.
The decision by prosecutors not to hold a second trial against
Bankman-Fried quickly drew backlash from those who had followed the
case.
“So we won’t know which politicians he bribed or who’s campaigns he
influenced? That collective sigh of relief you are hearing is from the
DEEP STATE,” Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., wrote in a Friday night post to
X.
Conservative commentator John Cardillo also weighed in on the
announcement from prosecutors, accusing the Department of Justice of
shielding Democrats from being named as recipients of Bankman-Fried
donations.
“Sam Bankman-Fried will not face second trial,” Cardillo wrote in an X post. “DOJ is protecting his Dem donation recipients.”
CryptoLaw founder John Deaton, who has consistently commented on
Bankman-Fried’s case, slammed the decision by prosecutors as a
“disgrace.”
“The DOJ has shown again, that it is NOT an independent agency,” Deaton said on X. “Who is the Attorney General protecting?”
abcnews | Former President Clinton, who ABC News has learned is identified as "Doe
36," is mentioned in more than fifty of the redacted filings, according
to court records. Several of those sealed or redacted entries are
focused on an effort by Giuffre's lawyers in mid-2016, first reported by ABC News, to subpoena the two-term Democratic president for deposition testimony about his relationship with Epstein.
According to portions of the
court record that were not sealed, Giuffre's legal team initiated
informal discussions with attorneys for the then-unnamed witness on June
9, 2016. That was a few days after the former president's wife, Hillary
Clinton, clinched the Democratic nomination for president.
Representatives
for Giuffre did contact the former president's attorneys in 2016 about a
potential deposition, a person familiar with the situation told ABC
News. Clinton's lawyers responded that his testimony would not be
helpful to Giuffre because, the person said, the former president had
never been on Epstein's island, as she had claimed.
Maxwell
called the move to question Clinton "utter nonsense" and a "transparent
ploy by [Giuffre] to increase media exposure for her sensational
stories through deposition side-show," her attorney Laura Menninger
wrote, according to an unredacted section of a court filing.
Giuffre's
legal team, in contrast, described the proposed testimony of Clinton as
"highly relevant" and "important to the fundamental claims and
defenses" in the case. The request was ultimately denied by U.S.
District Judge Robert Sweet, in a redacted ruling in late June 2016.
Giuffre's lawyers pressed the
Clinton issue again at a hearing in March 2017, six weeks before a trial
was scheduled to begin. According to a publicly available transcript,
Giuffre's team was then seeking to preclude Maxwell's side from
presenting testimony suggesting that Clinton hadn't been on Epstein's
island. Her attorneys argued it would be "inherently unfair" to Giuffre
because they had not been permitted to ask the former president if he
had ever been to Little St. James, as Epstein's private island estate
was known.
"You did not
allow us to depose him because you said it was irrelevant," McCawley
told Judge Sweet. "So now we're in a position where at trial they want
to put forth that information against my client, and I don't have an
under-oath statement from that individual saying whether or not he
actually was," she added.
Maxwell's
attorneys, according to the transcript, told the court Maxwell was
prepared to take the stand and testify that Clinton was never on the
island.
yahoo | Hundreds of sealed court filings pertaining to the late sex-offender Jeffrey Epstein are set to be made public
this week, and several prominent names -- including Britain's Prince
Andrew and former President Bill Clinton -- are expected to appear in
the documents.
U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska ruled earlier
this month there was no legal justification for continuing to conceal
the ex-president's name and more than 150 names other "John and Jane
Does" mentioned in the records. Preska ordered the unsealing to begin
after Jan. 1.
The documents stem from a 2015 civil lawsuit
centered on allegations that Epstein's one-time paramour, Ghislaine
Maxwell, facilitated the sexual abuse of Virginia Giuffre, an alleged
trafficking victim. Giuffre also accused Epstein and Maxwell of
directing her to have sex with Prince Andrew and several other prominent
men. Prince Andrew denied the allegations and claimed he could not recall ever meeting Giuffre. He later settled a lawsuit she filed against him.
Most
of the prominent names that appear in the documents are already
associated in some way with Epstein; for allegations of wrongdoing, for
having worked for Epstein, flown on his planes, or visited his homes.
Some were mentioned during Maxwell's criminal trial in 2021. In some
instances, the only appearances of the names are in potential witness
lists or in proposed terms for searches of electronic records.
While Giuffre's allegations against Prince Andrew, and his denials,
have been widely reported around the globe, dozens of the sealed records
are expected to contain additional details from "Jane Doe 162," a
witness who testified she was with Prince Andrew, Maxwell and Giuffre,
then 17, at Epstein's New York mansion. Giuffre has alleged that
gathering, in 2001, was one of the occasions she was directed to have
sex with Andrew.
Giuffre made no allegations of wrongdoing by
Clinton, and there is no indication the sealed records contain evidence
of illegal conduct by Clinton. But Giuffre's claim that she met the
ex-president on Epstein's private Caribbean island emerged as a
contentious issue in the litigation, which was settled in 2017. Maxwell
contended Clinton had never been to Little St. James -- as Epstein's
island was known -- and assailed Giuffre's claim as a fabrication that
shattered her credibility.
Personal flight logs kept by one of
Epstein's pilots -- which surfaced in separate lawsuits against Epstein
-- showed that Clinton and his entourage had flown extensively on
Epstein's jumbo-jet to international destinations such as Paris, Bangkok
and Brunei in 2002 and 2003. But none of the available records included
the former president on a trip to Epstein's island.
The court
documents to be unsealed this week represent the eighth, and likely
final, round of unsealing records from the case since the Miami Herald
intervened for access to the records in 2018. Previously unsealed items
included multiple deposition transcripts of Maxwell and Giuffre, along
with sworn, but unproven, allegations that Epstein and Maxwell directed
Giuffre to have sex with several well-known men, including former Senate
Majority Leader George Mitchell, the late model scout Jean Luc Brunel,
billionaire hedge fund manager Glenn Dubin, and others.
Maxwell denied the allegations, as did all of the men identified by Giuffre when their names surfaced.
This
batch will involve the names of additional Epstein associates, alleged
perpetrators, alleged co-conspirators, alleged victims, witnesses and
former Epstein employees. Several of the "Does" mentioned in the
documents are now deceased.
Former President Clinton, who ABC News
has learned is identified as "Doe 36," is mentioned in more than fifty
of the redacted filings, according to court records. Several of those
sealed or redacted entries are focused on an effort by Giuffre's lawyers
in mid-2016, first reported by ABC News, to subpoena the two-term Democratic president for deposition testimony about his relationship with Epstein.
MEDIAWATCH’S QUESTIONS: 1. Why do you believe David Grusch’s Congressional testimony when there is no firsthand evidence? 2. Do you believe alien spacecraft have visited earth? 3. Do you believe the US government has retrieved alien spacecraft and bodies but covered up the evidence? 4. Do you know if an alien spacecraft is secretly held in the US, and if so, why not reveal its location? 5. Have you maintained your journalist objectivity in covering David Grusch’s claims?
ROSS COULTHART’S RESPONSE: • The tenor of these questions suggests that MediaWatch has a pre-conceived agenda in how it will report this issue. This is because MediaWatch’s questions are grounded in a false assumption.
• MediaWatch’s questions state as a fact that there is no first-hand evidence to support David Grusch’s allegations. Contrary to misreporting in some US legacy media, there is first-hand evidence, and it has been presented under oath to the Intelligence Community Inspector General in private hearings (the ICIG is the oversight body for the US’ intelligence services). I have confirmed this testimony with multiple sources directly and I have interviewed first-hand witnesses myself directly.
• The current ICIG Thomas Monheim is still preparing his report into Mr Grusch’s allegations, comprising both Grusch’s complaint about reprisals against him for being a zealous UAPTF investigator and whistleblower and also, most importantly, the Inspector General is investigating Mr Grusch’s complaint that there has been a conspiracy within both the US Defense Dept & intelligence community and senior executives in private aerospace to illegally conceal a non-human intelligence [NHI] crash retrieval program and reverse engineering program from Congressional oversight.
• As I have confirmed both with Mr Grusch and Congressional sources, the current ICIG was so concerned about Mr Grusch’s allegations, after conducting his own investigations, that he referred all of them immediately to Congress, deeming all of Grusch’s complaints “urgent and credible”.
• I emphasise, these ICIG investigations included multiple interviews with first-hand witnesses to the NHI crash retrieval and reverse engineering program known to Mr Grusch, as well as other evidence. Other first-hand witnesses have also testified to the ICIG who are not known to Mr Grusch, backing his allegations.
underground | What is the best investigative model to study UFO phenomena? Should we use a legal approach with judicial rules of evidence, obtain testimony and review documents? Should we attempt a “scientific” investigation by analyzing sighting reports? This is the avowed approach of civilian investigative groups like the Mutual UFO Network. Better yet, should we attempt real-time observations of UAPs as Harvard Professor Avi Loeb’s Galileo Project is planning to do?
I prefer the Intelligence-Counterintelligence Model of Val Germann put forth over 20 years ago, and as is the case for most original thinkers in ufology, he was nearly totally ignored. I have modified Germann's analysis for what I imagine might someday be a social movement linking UFOs to possible solutions for the challenges that our civilization is facing. These problems include, endless warfare, the nuclear arms race, racism, global warming and the obscene disparities of wealth and power that exist across our wounded planet.
I imagine that power elites are opposed to revealing what they know and don’t know about flying saucers because the phenomenon undermines the pillars of elite power. These include the economic, political, military and ideological institutions of modern society. Any potential threat to the supremacy of the ruling classes is going to trigger a reaction from them. This is one important rationale for the UFO coverup with continued surveillance and past harassment of UFO experiencers by clandestine intelligence operators in service to our rulers.
So, we now are looking at a dynamic in which an intelligence-counterintelligence approach to UFOs can have utility. In a struggle that will determine the future of Earth civilization, there will be those that support radical reforms such as establishing an enduring world peace and ending environmental pollution, poverty and ignorance. And then there are those that promote conflict, social injustice and the increased accumulation of wealth by the super-rich.
In this conflict-oriented description of the world scene, UFO intelligences are perhaps not an impartial cold and distant mysterious force. In my judgment, they someday might be a potential ally of those that want peace, environmental protection and a new world order based on cooperation, not conflict. This is not an idle fancy. For over seven decades contact experiencers have conveyed messages from flying saucer intelligences. These include stern warnings about the dangers of nuclear weapons, environmental pollution and endless tribal warfare that perhaps brand our civilization as a most self-destructive one.
Rather than being passive contact experiencers, networks of activists for decades have staged what I call Human Initiated Contact Events (HICE). These efforts have involved the Rama network starting in Peru in 1974. This group is now called Rahma. Beginning in the 1990s, contact teams operating under the banner of the Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind Initiative have engaged UAP intelligences in the course of fieldwork. I was a team coordinator in this effort from 1992 to 1998.
Only time will tell if this human empowered approach will be successful in deciphering the flying saucer enigma. As a participant in peace and social justice movements that flourished during the second half of the 20th century, it is a comfort to imagine that we just might have “friends in high places.” These mysterious non-human intelligences might even be willing to grant us limited assistance in the struggles ahead.
Researcher Val Germann wrote an important multi-part article in 1997. The links of the original posting are no longer operational. He has given me permission to repost his work on the contactunderground blog site.
defense.gov | Today the department launched a website on the
All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office to provide the public with
information concerning AARO and its efforts to understand and resolve
unidentified anomalous phenomena.
This website will provide information, including photos and videos,
on resolved UAP cases as they are declassified and approved for public
release. The website's other content includes reporting trends and a
frequently asked questions section as well as links to official reports,
transcripts, press releases, and other resources that the public may
find useful, such as applicable statutes and aircraft, balloon and
satellite tracking sites.
This fall, consistent with Section 1673 of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023, AARO will launch a secure
reporting tool on the website to enable current and former U.S.
government employees, service members, or contractors with direct
knowledge of U.S. government programs or activities to contact AARO
directly to make a report. The department is conducting its final
reviews to ensure the reporting mechanism complies with the Privacy Act
of 1974, the Whistleblower Protections Enhancement Act of 2012, the
Federal Employee Antidiscrimination and Retaliation Act of 2002 (No FEAR
Act), and the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. In the interim, current
U.S. service members, U.S. government employees, and civil aviators are
encouraged to continue to use the existing reporting mechanisms
available to them through their organizations. A mechanism for members
of the general public to make reports will be announced in coming
months.
The department is committed to transparency with the American people
on AARO's work on UAP. This website will serve as a one-stop shop for
all publicly available information related to AARO and UAP, and AARO
will regularly update the website with its most recent activities and
findings as new information is cleared for public release.
dtic.mil | The proposed Dynamic Theory adopts generalizations of the three classical thermodynamic laws and is shown to produce a unique unifying effect by displaying that the fundamental principles of Newtonian and relativistic mechanics, Einsteins General Theory, Maxwells electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum effects occur as special cases. This not only reduces the number of fundamental assumptions but presents a new view of the interrelationship of the different branches of physics. The basic overview is that he claims mass density is a fifth dimension
and that he uses the laws of thermodynamics to derive the equations of
different branches of physics such as relativity and quantum mechanics.
Williams is discussing why he
believes his approach of deriving the equations of the branches of
physics from the same set of assumptions makes more sense than trying to
stitch together the equations from different branches as almost
everyone else attempts to do. In my opinion, he is absolutely correct.
Of course it’s always possible he may simply have found a clever
mathematical trick. This is why it’s important to look into new
predictions made by this theory and to test them. This theory does in
fact make some new predictions that are testable.
Some
of the predictions and implications from this theory may be
controversial, but I implore you to take it very seriously. Williams was
an applauded physicist by his peers and of high credentials. Some of
his peers were proponents of his theory as well. He
was literally in charge of nuclear safety for the United States
stockpile of nuclear weapons. He was considered knowledgable enough to
be entrusted with overseeing the safety of our nuclear weapons, so I
hope you would consider his theory worthy of review. There’s
hardly a more serious and difficult responsibility I can think of
having. Williams was allowed to spend half of his time working on his
theory at LANL, so when he wasn’t overseeing the nuclear weapons and
studying explosive shock physics he was working on his 5 dimensional
theory.
Predictions:
Fusion
When
the spin axes of two deuterium nuclei are aligned we may calculate the
fusion barrier by solving the six-body problem that involves the four
protons and two electrons of the two deuterium nuclei. The non-singular,
repulsive forces between the protons are reduced significantly when the
seperation of the protons approach nuclear seperations. Also the
repulsive force between the two electrons is reduced when their
separations reach the sub-nuclear separations achieved within the helium
nucleus. This reduction in the repulsive forces between protons and
between the electrons allows the very strong remaining attractive force
the protons have for the electrons to reduce the fusion barrier
tremendously when compared with the standard nuclear model. The standard
nuclear model requires the energy required for fusion to overcome the
repulsive force of the Coulombic force between the protons and,
therefore, the fusion barrier is expected to be much, much higher than
the non-singular forces require. Further,
it is the trick of aligning the spin axes of the two deuterium nuclei
that establishes this greatly reduced fusion barrier. If the two
deuterium nuclei approach each other with their spin axes in any other
orientation with respect to each other the fusion barrier increases to
the fusion barrier of the standard model or greater. It is this
alignment of the spin axes of the deuterium together with the
non-singular forces which cause the significant reduction in the fusion
barrier that is new.
I
felt is was important to use Williams’ own words for the nuclear
section of his theory because he is a nuclear physicist with the
proverbial keys to the kingdom. To be very clear he is predicting that
hydrogen to helium fusion can take place at far lower energies than the
standard model predicts if you align the spin axes of the nuclei. I
covered earlier how he spoke of this prediction during his interview
with APEC as well as on The Space Show and even claimed his theory was being tested by an unnamed group at that time. I also shared that Williams patented a device for this reaction, but unfortunately passed away not long after.
Critique: There is a common
theme in all "alternative physics" inspired by electromagenetism and
thermodynamics: extra dimensions.
Had Heaviside not neutered Maxwell's
equations and campaigned against the quaterionic formulation so he could
sell telegraph wire, we might be living in a radically different time.
The Dynamic Theory is a very interesting idea for those with some knowledge of modern
thermodynamics. I appreciate the
differential forms-style approach and find it very interesting to draw
parallels between the dynamic theory and Leonard Susskind's current work
on complexity. In his book, he essentially sets up a
framework where our Universe is a 5d hypersurface in a 6d space. He
uses general mathematical devices to generalize the (differential)
equations of thermodynamics and an argument of Weyl called the "scale
factor" to apply the generalization in different regimes.
It's
cool stuff, but if you don't have a working knowledge of general
relativity and familiarity with the mechanisms of differential geometry,
it's just another pile of words that happened when someone got inspired
by the foundations of physics. However, as I said, there is a common
thread that runs through many alternative theories and it can be traced
back to Heaviside eliminating portions of Maxwell's equations so that he
could sell telegraph wire. All these extra dimensions that we seem to
be surprised by now have their surprising root there.
Anyone reading this that wants a starting place for understanding Williams' book, look here:
observing the anomaly | For
many years now, the ultimate quest in physics has been the unification
of Einstein’s general relativity with quantum mechanics. Dr. Williams
discovered that both these theories can, in fact, be derived from the
laws of thermodynamics. The resulting theory eliminates the singularity
problems of the conventional theories and makes a variety of intriguing
predictions.
In
his 5-dimension manifold theory, Williams’ finds the equations of
thermodynamics have (as special cases) the otherwise distinct equations
of physics including: Newton’s Mechanics, Classical Thermodynamics,
Einstein’s Special Relativity, Einstein’s General Relativity, Quantum
Mechanics, Quantum Electrodynamics, The Nuclear Strong Force and Weak
Force, Gravitational Force and a deeper view of Cosmic Red Shift.
Williams
states, “In summary, the book presents detailed derivations of numerous
applications of the classical thermodynamic laws with the result that
phenomena currently covered by Newtonian, relativistic and quantum
mechanics are predicted by these three laws. This is a significant
reduction of the number of required fundamental assumptions in the
description of these phenomena. Additionally, many new phenomena are
predicted that lead to new views of the universe.”
Memorial and Thoughts of a Man with Great Ideas — Pharis Williams
The
first thing I found in my research was a DOE Office of Scientific and
Technical Information (OSTI) document published in 2015 by James O.
Shannon (Los Alamos National Laboratory), Warren R. Maines (Sandia
National Laboratories), David Mathes (CEO and Founder of Spacelines),and
Paul Murad (Morningstar Applied Physics, LLC) titled “Memorial and
Thoughts of a Man with Great Ideas — Pharis Williams” https://www.osti.gov/servlets/purl/1248828
Before
I dig into the document I want to point out who the authors are. One is
Oke Shannon who worked with Pharis Williams at Los Alamos Labs. Another
is from Sandia Labs. Paul Murad of Morningstar states in his linkedin
profile “has over 25 years of public service as a senior technology
analyst for the Department of Defense looking at foreign advanced and
game-changing technology as well as defining future U.S. satellite
systems for the next twenty years.” David Mathes of Spacelines has a SPI
profile that states “ongoing optical research involves Dirac, Majorna
and Weyl models of the electron internals, zitterbewegung, Bohmian
quantum mechanics, and transactional hypothesis.”
So what does the document about Williams by these authors say? Here is a quote from the abstract.
“By
applying simplifying or restrictive assumptions to the main body of the
theory, Pharis shows that the major fields of physics are contained
within the extensions of this theory. In these extensions, new field
quantities appear to become important for systems and technical
disciplines. Thus, the Dynamic Theory that he created would unify the
various branches of physics into one theoretical structure. Only the
future can tell what will be the impact of Pharis’ dynamic theory
contributions and how engineers and scientists can gain and find new
insights.”
It
then goes on to explain his theory and work in more detail. It mentions
a “popcorn program” or a “popcorn project” that was apparently an
embarrassment to the Navy where Williams reportedly proved that a bunch
of nuclear weapons were not being stored properly and a catastrophic
event could potentially take place. Apparently, it was the result of him
calculating the fusion yields from the tests didn’t match the theory
and this is what led to him eventually developing his unified theory.
The paper also implies that this embarrassment may have hurt Williams in
getting others to look at his work and that the reader should look into
the subject further. It says that, “You may read about this program in
the archives of the London Daily Mail” however I can’t seem to find
anything. I did find a story about UK weapons that could potentially
explode if impacted and cause a “popcorning event” which looks related. https://www.robedwards.com/2008/06/nuclear-bombs-could-explode-like-popcorn.html
The paper states in the conclusion:
“This
unique maverick easily walked in both science and engineering
disciplines and in doing so, found practical and important applications
in shock physics and environmentally clean, compact reactors. From
extending The Dynamic Theory to develop what Pharis described as the
experimentally proven phat photon to the practicalities of the phat
photon laser, such was the breadth of his skill sets where Pharis would
then go the extra mile and propose applications in the fields of
communications, energy and transportation. The future of The Dynamic
Theory is up to the scientists and engineers of tomorrow who not only
think outside the box, but can think and work in five dimensions and
beyond.”
We don't actually know what they've been hiding, what knowledge they actually possess - we only think we do, largely based on misinformation these exact same entities have
been responsible for propagating and disseminating these past decades.
Hence
the terms of the Authorization Act - it's not envisaged as a
get-out-of-jail card for people guilty of crimes against humanity: it's a
chance to get out from under what's legally coming in exchange for
lighter sentencing.
Nobody complicit in any actual criminal
activity is getting away with anything here - their own terms of being
under the blanket of National Security in the first place prohibits not only illegal activity but compliance with illegal activities - their own clearance authorization is enough to prosecute breaches.
The
Authorization act is simply to encourage further whistle blowing -
there are a lot of small fish involved in organizations like these,
especially on the technical side, who could do with the assurance
that they're not going to be crucified for getting out from under who and
where ever they currently are.
Currently
the only information we know about UFO's is what these SAP's have been
telling people is true - and the point is, they lie, rather often -
about pretty much everything.
If we want to get anywhere near the "truth" we will have to tolerate leaner
sentencing for proven intelligence assets - it's not like the bosses are going to come forward.
They know where the bodies are buried and more importantly, they know who else knows because they made sure to implicate them.
That's
how control works. Nobody's going to want to expose that, but the gig
as it currently stands is up - one way or the other.
Don't worry - the bosses will always
get away with whatever they've done, that's what the establishment
seeks to protect - the little people are the ones that get it in the
face: the Authorization Act isn't changing anything, not in the grand
scheme of things - but it does encourage human assets to come foreward and
that's what those authorizing the act need this minute.
Currently nobody knows what's going on, and that's down to these SAP's earning their pay checks.
The real question is, who actually is signing them.
greyfalcon | There is another, less appreciated, dimension to UFO secrecy. These objects, we know, have demonstrated amazing manoeuvring capabilities. Some of them, at least, can accelerate instantly in all directions, turn on a dime, stop and hover motionlessly, and remain silent the whole while.
Our military aircraft have been unable to compete. In 1975, UFOs that could hover like silent helicopters and move like silent jets were unmolested by U.S. aircraft. In a well-known incident over Belgium in 1990, a triangular UFO thoroughly outclassed F-16 interceptors. During the summer of 2002, just outside Washington, D.C., a UFO easily outpaced and outmanoeuvred pursuing F-16s.
A common question that arises is, what kind of propulsion system do these objects use. But I wonder, what makes them go?
This question is more than academic. There are legitimate reasons to expect that we are about to experience a petroleum crisis of epic proportions, much sooner than we expect. Once a fringe belief, there are now many oil analysts who believe this.
The problem is basic supply and demand. The supply is finite; the demand shows no signs of limit. In fact, global oil demand is now increasing at the fantastic rate of 4 percent annually, which translates into a doubling rate of every 17 years. I don’t care what your supply is, you cannot double demand of anything indefinitely, and certainly not at the rate the petroleum demand is moving.
Recall the ancient Chinese story about the peasant who performed a good deed for the Emperor. "I will grant you any wish you ask," said the grateful Emperor. The peasant took a chess board and said, "I don’t ask for much. Simply place a grain of rice on the first square, then double the amount for each successive square on the board, and I will be content." "Silly peasant," thought the Emperor. "I would have given him something of value." For much of the board, the amount of rice was small enough. By the last few squares, however, the Emperor went broke. By the final square, the amount of rice would have exceeded all the rice in the world.
Experts argue about when the petroleum crisis will hit, but it is the height of folly to pretend it won’t arrive. Whether it will be 50 years, 20 years, or 5 years, our civilization needs to find a way to replace petroleum. UFO technology very likely holds part of the answer, maybe all of the answer.
Some people agree with this assessment, and believe that the "powers that be" are simply holding out on us until the oil truly runs out, just to maximize their profit. Then it’s free energy time – although we assume someone will find a way to make money from it.
You had better hope that such blind trust turns out to be accurate. I’m less confident that a benevolent elite will bail my ass out at the eleventh hour. For all I know, they may have decided that there are too many of us on this planet, anyway. "Time to clean house. I’ve got my bunker. How about you?"
Freedom and Self-Governance
For a democratically-based political system to function, there must be a reasonable amount of congruence between what people believe and what is actually the case. You elect a member of congress with the idea that he or she will represent your interests within the nation’s primary instrument of political power: the Congress. Except that Congress has been made irrelevant by other centres of power, or been taken over by them.
You get your news from television or your newspaper with the idea that the journalist on the other end is a kind of watchdog, looking out for the public interest. Except that the journalist is working for a corporation which is itself antithetical to the public interest.
Unseen structures of power have evolved over the previous generations, advancing sometimes slowly, sometimes with a dramatic suddenness. But most people lack the conceptual means by which to understand what is happening.
As I have suggested, I believe that a significant part of that power structure involves the possession and exploitation of UFO-related technology. And I certainly believe that the secrecy has gone on for so long that it has become integral to keeping the whole system together.
Once you start lying, how can you un-do the lie? Today, UFO secrecy has been with the U.S. – and by extension the world – for about sixty years. That’s nearly as long as the Soviet Union existed on the basis of its own labyrinthine web of lies.
The comparison is apt. I still recall holding in my hands a commemorative oversized Soviet book celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Bolshevik revolution of 1917. The book was published in 1937, during the depths of Stalin’s rule. There was a colorized version of a famous photograph showing Lenin at a podium speaking to a crowd, and I noticed that Leon Trotsky – Stalin’s great political enemy – had been airbrushed out of the picture. That’s simply how the Soviet system worked. The government lied constantly, and everyone knew it, and everyone in the country pretended that the government didn’t lie.
Constant lying in the Soviet Union meant that the official powers had to systematically think about how to organize and manipulate public information to keep people in line. I remember trying to read through The Great Soviet Encyclopaedia, an impossibly organized mess of propaganda and fact so that you couldn’t learn anything about anything that truly mattered. That’s just how it was.
Looking back, we can see how it would have been impossible for such a society to continue indefinitely, ruled as it was on the basis of a series of lies. When Gorbachev took power in 1985, he wanted to reform that society. His catchphrases were glasnost and perestroika: openness and restructuring. I was a young student of Soviet history at that time, and remember the excitement well. I also recall the scepticism of some of my professors who continued to believe for some time that this was yet another communist plot.
No matter. Within six years, there was no more Soviet Union. What happened? Well, one thing that happened, a big thing, was that the process of reform spiralled out of control. You make a big change here, and the next guy wants change over there. It becomes hard to put on the brakes. You start with openness, for example, and you open the books on Stalin’s gulag. You open the books on the particulars of the Bolshevik coup. Or the reconquest of the Ukraine in the 1920s, or the capture of the Baltic States in 1940, and on and on. Before long, entire subject peoples want to bolt, and many openly question the legitimacy of the Party’s rule. Then it is over.
Disclosure Scenarios
It’s no different today in America, and the UFO secret is at the core. Imagine if the President of the United States were to decide to end UFO secrecy. How would he do it?
I can see him now. President George W. Bush steps up to the podium. Beloved Vice President Dick Cheney stands behind him. Trusted lieutenants Donald Rumsfeld and Condoleeza Rice are there, too. The cameras of all the world’s media are upon him.
"Good evening," he begins. "Through a series of meetings with certain senior scientific and defence officials, it has come to my attention that the UFO phenomenon apparently is real, and is of extraterrestrial origin."
Hokey dokey, that’s really all I have to say for now. We’ll provide updates as we get ‘em. I’m going on vacation for a while. Goodnight everyone.
Well, maybe not. Disclosure is a Pandora’s box with a panoply of taboo topics just waiting to spring out. It is, as one friend of mine calls it, "a sloppy tar-baby," a threatening, friendly, frightening, and inseparable bundle of unavoidable eventualities.
So I can imagine a few questions, even from a media as compliant as the American. "Mr. President," one correspondent might say, "what are the intentions of these aliens?" Or, "Mr. President, what does this say about the claims of alien abduction? Are they real, after all?" Or how about, "Mr. President, what about claims of underground alien bases? Or claims of secret possession of alien technology?" These questions might not arise immediately. But they would arise eventually. Once you open that lid, it will be very difficult to control the outcome.
The answers would not be pretty. For this reason, I doubt that disclosure will come from America ’s political establishment. But there are always other countries. There are always the aliens. The truth is already here; it’s simply waiting to land.
After all, what exactly are the secret keepers protecting? Let’s see. Power, wealth, control, their plans for the future, access to information, underground bases already built, the status quo.
But there must be more. How about communication with aliens? Worm hole technology? Access to our genetic code? Or any number of technologies that we have not even begun to discuss openly in our society. Remember the statement of an Area 51 insider to aerospace journalist James Goodall – this was back in the 1980s – "we have things in the Nevada desert that would make George Lucas envious." In other words, Star Wars technology.
Can you imagine the front page of the New York Times following a true disclosure of all this? "MASSIVE COVERUP EXPOSED." The biggest journalistic fiasco in history would finally be acknowledged, wholesale resignations would sweep the intelligence community, a political third party would do a clean sweep of Washington. Congress would promise emergency hearings, Arab oil nations would be in a state of collapse as oil price futures plummet, and the stock market would be in a headlong tailspin.
People would realize that a massive power structure has existed for generations, and has siphoned away trillions of dollars. They would learn that it has played a dominant, though unacknowledged, role in shaping their lives.
Think about NASA and the space shuttle program. There are no shortage of quiet discussions about the antiquated nature of NASA’s shuttle technology. Astronauts have died because better technology was denied to them. And that is merely the tip of the iceberg, for this issue goes far beyond NASA.
No, people wouldn’t be pleased or especially understanding. Heads would roll.
The American system of government, as it has come to exist, and by extension American society, and by extension our current global civilization, is not compatible with true UFO disclosure. Disclosure would rip it all away.
You might argue that this would be a good reason to maintain the secrecy. On the other hand, I would argue it’s the best reason for disclosure.
As bad as things look today, I retain hope for a post-disclosure world. I retain a faith – yes, I guess it’s faith – in the value of truth over all things. A statement by my favorite writer, Leo Tolstoy, hangs before me every day: "the one thing necessary, in life as in art, is to tell the truth." I cannot believe that a society based on a foundational lie can be better than one based on a foundational truth.
There were three articles written in UFO Magazine in 1998 that concerned a fictional character named Sedge Masters. They are worth reading. (May/June 1998, September 1998, and December 1998.) The author of these pieces is a man named Greg Halifax."
"We have reason to believe the set of stories(3, I think) are only slightly fictionalized versions of a source's experiences writing up records for the archives at WPAFB. Specifically, ever hear of Zodiac, which is supposed to be the true name?"
I haven't read the articles in question but the context kind of it seemed to me that the MJ12 story is implied to be sort of a controlled release version of details of a group that was actually called Zodiac(12 signs of the zodiac?)
twitter | Matt Ford: "Most people are unaware that David Grusch testified in a SCIF, in a classified setting, with both intelligence committees. What we are about to tell you is not public knowledge. Multiple sources confirmed that David Grusch's Congressional testimony occurred in December 2022, at the Top Secret Sensitive Compartmented Information level.
"On the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, while no congressmen attended the briefing, over twenty congressional staffers, committee lawyers, Grusch and the Inspector General representative, were present. With their classified laptops, these staffers took notes while David Grusch testified for four hours.
"Now, things were different at the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and his is important. Grusch testified for over eight hours. Who was in the room for Grusch's eight-hour testimony in December? Grusch, the Inspector General representative, a court reporter, and two committee lawyers. That's it. Five people. Where were the Senate staffers? They were not permitted to attend. Think about it: On the House side, you had over twenty people in a SCIF. And on the Senate side? Five.
"The two committee attorneys locked the room down so Senate staffers could not attend. That is some seriously, shady gatekeeping going on. What the hell? I mean, seriously. Now, maybe only having committee attorneys present is a method of protecting the senators and their staff? I'm sure it gives them some form of plausible deniability. But, with a case of this magnitude, a case with information classified at the Top Secret SCI level, a case where the whistleblower has been the recipient of administrative terrorism and witness intimidation by the Pentagon and Intelligence Community, a case where the Inspector General has classified the case as urgent and credible...and the Senate decides to send two lawyers and that's it? That's ridiculous!
"The case, and the allegations, have everything to do with democratic oversight and potential programs operating above Congress. Folks, remember: They work for us, we don't work for them. And without democratic oversight, there is no democracy."
ACS |You might call Gerald H. Pollack “the Teflon professor.”
Pollack, a bioengineering professor at the University of Washington,
Seattle, has been the subject of savage criticism for his heterodox
theories about water—yet he continues to enjoy great success.
In the past decade, Pollack claims to have amassed experimental
evidence that in addition to ice, liquid, and gas, water can form a
fourth, gel-like or liquid-crystalline phase, as well as store charge—a
property that would violate the law of electroneutrality in bulk fluids.
Most water and electrochemists dismiss his results, saying they can be
entirely explained by invoking basic water chemistry, and the presence
of impurities.
Pollack acknowledges that his research is controversial. “It’s
impossible to break new ground without arousing controversy,” he tells
C&EN. But, he adds, “I’ve somehow managed to stay funded.”
Despite—or perhaps because of—its ubiquity and central importance in
biology, chemistry, and physics, water has long been steeped in
controversy. In the 1960s, researchers debated the existence of
polywater, a polymerized form of liquid water with high boiling point
and viscosity. Polywater was eventually debunked, only to be replaced by
the concept of water memory in the 1980s. This idea that liquid water
can sustain ordered structures for long periods of time is one of the
key tenets of homeopathy, a scientifically suspect concept, in which
water supposedly “remembers” features of a solute even after repeated
dilutions that remove all solute molecules. Water memory has also been
debunked in the pages of Nature (1988, 334, 287).
In recent years, Pollack has moved outside the confines of the cell
to the structure of water in general. In an annual faculty lecture at
the University of Washington titled “Water, Energy, and Life: Fresh Views From the Water’s Edge,” which is also making rounds on YouTube,
Pollack describes what he calls an “exclusion zone” where microspheres
in a container of water pull away from the surface, while an organized
water gel thousands of layers thick forms. Any energy, whether from
sunlight or heat, puts energy into the system, helping to increase the
phenomenon, he says.
But as Pollack treads further into the territory of chemists,
criticisms of his ideas have become more pointed. A recent paper of his
in Langmuir, titled “Can Water Store Charge?”
made the argument that pure water, hooked up to electrodes, will form
large pH gradients that persist long after the current is turned off (Langmuir2009,25, 542). A firestorm ensued.
Until the early 2000s, most of Pollack’s publications centered on
bioengineering topics such as the behavior of muscle proteins. But in
2001, he published the book “Cells, Gels, and the Engines of Life,” in
which he dismantled the standard view of cells, including ion pumps and
membrane channels. He posited instead that the water inside cells is a
structured gel that plays a fundamental role in the organization and
action of cellular structures.
Some reviewers took Pollack to task: University of Colorado, Boulder,
biology professor Michael W. Klymkowsky criticized the book for an
“overall style reminiscent of creationist writings” (Nat. Cell Bio.2001,3,
E213). But some lauded the book’s fresh outlook. Harvard University
bioengineering professor Donald Ingber described the book as a “nicely
sculpted … polemic against complacency in the cell biology
establishment” (Cell2002,109, 688).
