Storm Worm Botnet Attacks Anti-Spam Firms

"It's been a pretty constant battle to stay online," Vincent Hanna, an investigator for the non-profit Spamhaus Project, told InformationWeek. "It's an arms race. They try something. We block it. They try something else. We block it. It goes on and on. Sometimes it's fine and sometimes we spend hours a day on this." Link.

Total Information Awareness

I just came across this page on Wikipedia about the US government's development of a mass digital surveillance system. Grok it. Scary. Note how it used to be called the "Total Information Awareness Program". But then was renamed the Terrorism Information Awareness Program. Note how the second sounds way more acceptable to an afraid public. Just another cog in the wheel of oppression. Link.

Watch out! 2012 Is a'coming

"2012 in historical time may likely be a point where a massive catastrophe wipes out most life on the planet, and the timeless nature of consciousness flashes back glimpes of this event along historical time, which we pick up."

Storm Worm Spams Its Own Bots

When Botnets Go Wild. Link.

Corman said the Storm Worm is an "instantiation of a class of botnets" that is being used in attacks such as pump-and-dump campaigns to derive profits for its authors. It communicates through decentralized peer-to-peer networks, which makes it difficult to stop.

If the Storm Worm authors find a way to monetize other uses for the botnet, users may see an influx of DDoS attacks that could paralyze some organizations. Some businesses are preparing for such an incident by reassessing their disaster recovery capabilities, Corman said.

He said he also worries about a political motive: For example, Storm could impact the websites of presidential candidates, or be used to deliver spam that may sway voter's decisions, Corman said.

Surfer Dudes Discovers The Theory Of Everything

This gets way highbrow but it sounds amazing! Here’s a snippet:

The theory of E-Infinity is at least 15 years old and it is based on a new irrational quasi-binary system utilizing the miraculous properties of the golden mean and the Fibonacci numbers within this system (2)(248) = 496 of E8 E8 is reduced to 496-(0.18033989) = 495.9674775 while 137 is increased to 137.08203932. These small differences make a big difference and are behind the success of E-Infinity theory. Those interested in the nitty-gritty should read issue 2 of volume 35 of Chaos, Solitons & Fractals (January 2008). Particularly, the aforementioned paper from E-eight to E-Infinity pp. 285-290 of the same issue is of special interest. At least the abstract if not the entire paper maybe found on Science Direct www.sciencedirect.com.

Another paradigm-shattering piece from the Thunderbolts crew

The more I look into this Electric Universe theory the more it makes sense. Their explanation for comets solves a lot of the inconsistencies in Comet Theory:

Comets are electrical discharges in the thin plasma that permeates the solar system. Because they spend most of their time far from the Sun, their rocky nuclei are in equilibrium with the voltage at that distance. But as they accelerate in toward the Sun, their voltage is increasingly out of equilibrium with the voltage and increasing density of the solar plasma. A plasma sheath forms around them—the coma and tail. And filamentary currents—jets—between the sheath and the nucleus erode, particle by powdery particle, the circular depressions with terraced walls that are typical of electrical discharge machining. As the discharge channels move across the surface of the comet, they burn it black.

Are We Seeing The End Of America?

Hard-hitting conversation between Noami Wolf and journalist Don Hazen. Link.

You can't underplay how sophisticated the Bush team has been about manipulating our fears. And one reason we really can't ignore is our home-grown ignorance. We now have two generations of young people who don't know about civics. A study came out that showed that even Harvard freshmen really don't understand how our government works.

Former Pilots & Officials Call for US UFO Probe

An international panel of two dozen former pilots and government officials called on the U.S. government on Monday to reopen its generation-old UFO investigation as a matter of safety and security given continuing reports about flying discs, glowing spheres and other strange sightings. Link.

Storm Worm Botnet now "more powerful than world's top supercomputer"

The Storm Worm Botnet, a massive network of infected Windows PCs spanning the world, has now enslaved enough computers to rival the processing power of top military computers. This is incredible.

"If you calculate pure theoretical throughput, then I'm sure the botnet has more capacity than IBM's BlueGene. If you sat them down to play chess, the botnet would win."

The Vatican And The Knights Templar

Very interesting article about hidden Church societies. Link.

Almost from their founding, the Templars have been rumored

a.) to still exist 

b.) to be impossibly rich, and 

c.) to guard the Holy Grail (the cup from which Jesus drank at the Last Supper) and other Christian relics.

Shrivelling UFOs

Great editorial from the UFO Iconoclasts about the importance of belief in UFOlogy. Link.

Without some kind of dynamic evidence, the UFO phenomenon is doomed to die, if only because media, government agencies, and the public cannot sustain interest in such an evanescent presence.

Yes, UFOs have appeared and continue to appear in the skies but without some kind of specific tangibility, all persons, except UFO fanatics, will, psychologically, place the phenomenon on a mental backburner, maybe even dismissing the subject matter altogether, which is already beginning to happen.

Richard Dolan At The X-Conference 2007

Dolan, author of UFOs and the National Security State, is a bit of a hero of mine. He has tirelessly excavated government documents on UFOs and points out over and over again the extreme interests given to UFOs by the US military, despite public statements to the contrary. Hear what he has to say for yourself.
