"From Chemtrails to Pseudo-Life: The Dark Agenda of Synthetic Biology"





Sofia Smallstorm's 2011 talk at Conspiracy Con, which got a standing ovation. Dot-connecting as you may not have seen it before, with over 100 Powerpoint images to take you through this mind-boggling terrain. Let's leave the simple concept of aerosols-for-weather-modification behind for a while as we explore a frontier that is currently booming but may well have a deeply hidden agenda. Robotics, genetics, nanotech and A.I. promise a fantastic future, but will we ever arrive there and if so, what exactly will we be? What is the scope of planetary engineering, and how much of the planet does it include? A must-see!

Waking Life.





A boy has a dream that he can float, but unless he holds on, he will drift away into the sky. Even when he is grown up, this idea recurs. After a strange accident, he walks through what may be a dream, flowing in and out of scenarios and encountering various characters. People he meets discuss science, philosophy and the life of dreaming and waking, and the protagonist gradually becomes alarmed that he cannot awake from this confusing dream.

B-town Bike Scene!

City of Bloomington officials announced a plan to make the city friendlier to bicyclists and pedestrians by 2016!

Share the road sign, New York City.Image via Wikipedia 2016!? What the hell? Don't these Hoosiers know that the world is going to end next year in 2012? What the hell are improved bike conditions going to do after the apocalypse? Of course I am just joking (or am I?), but still, why will it take so long to improve roads to make them more bike friendly here in B-town? I mean, I am seeing tons of construction and millions of dollars being put into road renovations all over town, much of which I have to navigate through on my bicycle, and even more hoopla being raised about the B-line trail construction every day. So why not funnel some of those resources into improving existing bike lanes and adding more bike lanes NOW rather than years down the road? Why not make the streets and roads just as safe and accessible to those of us who choose not to roll around in steel boxes burning dead dinosaurs and polluting up our environment both locally and globally? I think that every damn street, road, highway and byway in Monroe County, hell on the entire planet, should be made more accessible to those who choose to bicycle or walk more so than those nasty and selfish fossil fuel burning behemoths! But that is just my humble opinion.
On the brighter side, the bike scene is alive and thriving here in B-town. From the Bloomington Bike Project to the Little 500, B-towns bike scene is pedaling strong!
