    Glad you are on the mend. I’ll keep sending my prayers.

    So when most of the jobs are done by automated technology what will people fill their time with? YouTube videos? Sigh….

      What interests me Cara, is how this might become a mundane part of the “end-of-life” process, inasmuch as interactions with non-human agents might become normalized to an extent that people who are nowadays constantly staring at their smart phones would baulk at varieties of human interaction during the course of their lives which have no digital…[Read more]

        Yes, that is interesting. When we live our lives digitally how much of life is real and if we arrange our death’s processes virtually, how much is real?
        I would tend to see this as more an avoidance type behaviour. People don’t like to address difficult topics with others…. witness how many people will not talk about death itself with oth…[Read more]

    Space Wars…. apparently coming and US military needs your cash:
    “War is coming to outer space, and the Pentagon warns it is not yet ready, following years of underinvesting while the military focused on a host of threats on Earth.

    Translation and meaning… : “SUPPOSE a painter sees a path through a field sown with poppies and paints it: at one end of the chain of events is the field of poppies, at the other a canvas with pigment disposed on its surface. We can recognize that the latter represents the former, so I shall suppose that despite the differences between a field o…[Read more]

    And another “gee look what we’ve discovered” revelation…. water on the moon:
    http://news.nau.edu/widespread-presence-water-moon/

    • The “news” is not the water but that it is “evenly spread”. A prelude to later announcing not-so-evenly-spread frozen surface bodies of water or, Lord forbid, underground resevoirs??

    And UFO sightings in Argentina… Nazi International tech perhaps

    • talk about coincidence, I was just watching some videos of the TR-3B. I’ll post them now.

    • Decades of sightings and alleged contacts in Argentina: Nazi, ET or both?. When he lived down there the present pope Bergoglio had close relations with a “UFO” researcher, not surprising given the Jesuit interest in this topic.

    And the DARPA crew are creating Biostasis…. to help preserve the lives of injured soldiers they say….. tell me another one. Sounds more like a space relevant technology to me: “They plan to do this through a new method they call Biostasis, which is designed to “slow life to save life,” according to an official statement. It works by slowing d…[Read more]

    There was a referendum on a similar move in Italy last year…. my husband, a Perugian (central Italy), voted by write in from Dubai…. the motion was not approved.

    A merging of space assets… Russia’s GLONASS and China’s Beidou. Since both have military and financial use does this entail deeper cooperation in other spheres?

    So have the Chinese purchased shares in HSBC, Lloyds or some other British financial institution? Or does this signify other investments?

    I was wondering if it was tied into Russia’s anti-GMO stance and perhaps they will start sourcing produce from Russia (not that Russia could provide enough to feed the Chinese population)…

    • I’d like Australia to import oganic food from Russia, but since we’re obviously the 5th man, I doubt it will happen. Imagine customs finding bags and bags of organic wheat all addressed to moi! They’d be knocking on my door in seconds…. sigh … 🙁

    An assymetrical response to the Skripal incident from Russia or was this always planned and just “moved” in location and/or timing to seem to be a response?

    • Translation: “Bloody hell the Russians are not expected to react to our insane provocations!”

    • they’re putting the fear into Germany for its pipeline that just passed..and probably showcasing the new hypersonic tech.

      • Yes I think they’re showing that their missile range covers the pipeline trajectory. They’re protecting their infrastructure.
