Some of the most compelling alien lore in the last couple of years has emerged from Eastern Europe, "Russia," England and France. This story is no exception. Thanks to Jeff Clinton for once again alerting us to another fascinating story.
Luchezar Filipov, a deputy head of the Space Exploration department within the BAS, recently told reporters that "they (the aliens) are here right now, among us". He said that, although there is little awareness of their presence, they are conducting surveillance and research on Earth.
The scientist said that they are not hostile in any way; on the contrary, they are friendly and willing to help us. Unfortunately, due to our lack of evolution and development, we are unable to conduct any coherent form of conversation with this superior life form. "They want to help us, but the problem is that we don't know what to ask of them once a contact is established," Filipov told Dnes daily.
Filipov reckons that it will be impossible to try and track extraterrestrial life with our current radar equipment, or through the usage of radio telescopes. Apparently, the aliens were "categorical" that any future means of contact between us and them would be conducted through mental power and telepathy.
"The aliens are very critical of our immoral behaviour and our destruction of the environment. They say that global warming is attributed mainly to infrastructural engineering. Additionally, they are very skeptical of our use of cosmetics, and artificial insemination because this is 'unnatural,'" Filipov said.
According to Filipov, his team of scientists are currently analysing the answers to their questions from the interactions with the visitors. The scientists aim to have a coherent "strategic plan" pertaining to questions which they will put forward to the extraterrestrials in their next meeting, which is said to be in the spring of 2010, Dnes reported.
Work on deciphering a complex set of symbols sent to them is underway, scientists from the country's Space Research Institute said. They claim aliens are currently answering 30 questions posed to them.
Lachezar Filipov, deputy director of the Space Research Institute of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, confirmed the research. He said the centre's researchers were analyzing 150 crop circles from around the world, which they believe answer the questions.
"Aliens are currently all around us, and are watching us all the time," Mr Filipov told Bulgarian media. "They are not hostile towards us, rather, they want to help us but we have not grown enough in order to establish direct contact with them."
Mr Filipov said that even the seat of the Catholic church, the Vatican, had agreed that aliens existed. [Ed's note: this is true. The pontiff recently acknowledged the possibility, and likelihood of the existence of alien life.]
He said humans were not going to be able to establish contact with the extraterrestrials through radio waves but through the power of thought.
"The human race was certainly going to have direct contact with the aliens in the next 10 to 15 years," he said. "Extraterrestrials are critical of the people's amoral behavior referring to the humans' interference in nature's processes." ---o0o---
You Never Give Me Your Money is one of my all-time top-ten Beatle songs, for sure. Abbey Road may also be my favorite album, but I am not sure I'd go that far--the competition is fierce and spirited. You Never Give Me Your Money starts off the second side of the LP, with its chain of interlocked tunes spanning the entire side.
You never give me your money - Lennon/McCartney ('though it was actually) written by Macca
You never give me your money You only give me your funny paper and in the middle of negotiations you break down
I never give you my number I only give you my situation and in the middle of investigation I break down
Out of college, money spent See no future, pay no rent All the money's gone, nowhere to go Any jobber got the sack Monday morning, turning back Yellow lorry slow, nowhere to go But oh, that magic feeling, nowhere to go Oh, that magic feeling Nowhere to go Nowhere to go
One sweet dream Pick up the bags and get in the limousine Soon we'll be away from here Step on the gas and wipe that tear away One sweet dream came true... today Came true... today Came true... today...yes it did One two three four five six seven, All good children go to Heaven ----O0O-----
Crocodiles are pretty scary, as you all know, but not nearly so scary as a herd of PO'd hippos as it turns out.
A young crocodile was stalking a mother and her calves in the river, and got a little too close.
Fifty-some hippos gathered around them, and the wigged out croc, tried to race across their backs to escape. He didn't. Read the story here... ---o0o---
In recent conversations, well-placed senior administration officials told All This Is That that the health care plan championed by President Obama and the Democratic leadership includes little-known provisions for outsourcing surgeries and medical procedures. One official told me "Let's say you need false teeth, uh...dentures. We can get this work done for you in Tijuana for less than half what it would cost anywhere in the states. And that's after adding in plane fares, meals and a couple of nights in a hotel."
Several independent sources revealed that the U.S. government is contracting for outsourced medical work in at least seven foreign countries. In some cases, the U.S. Government has purchased or leased land, and is breaking ground on a series of medical facilities in "outsource partner countries."
Prospective plans include, but are not limited to, outsourcing kidney and liver procedures to Bulgaria, knee- and hip-replacements to Albania, and dental work to Mexico. The most potentially explosive outsourcing initiative involves exporting virtually all geriatric, rehabilitation, and rest home care to Guatemala, where per-patient costs are a third of those in the United States.
As one government health services manager on Capitol Hill told me, "Change. And you guys thought we were bulls***ing, didn't you?" ---o0o---
Not sure if they are referring to the phrase originating here, our famous phallic Space Needle, or the locally famous hamburger chain? From the married to the sea website. . .
