			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #fd5a1e;">DARPA (The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency)</span> recently released a 50+ page strategic plan highlighting some of the most advance research projects it is currently undertaking.  On page 9, section 2.6, DARPA outlines a &#8220;short list&#8221; of ongoing research.  We list the highlights here.</p>
<ol>
<li><span style="color: #fd5a1e;">High Energy Liquid Laser Area Defense System</span> &#8211; You heard it here.  These are small high power laser weapons, i.e. weapons that shoot energy beams at the speed of light.  That&#8217;s fast.</li>
<li><span style="color: #fd5a1e;">High Productivity Computing Systems</span> &#8211; a.k.a. Super computers a.k.a. <a type="amzn">SKYNET from the <em>Terminator</em> mythos</a>.</li>
<li><span style="color: #fd5a1e;">Machine Learning</span> &#8211; Cognitive machines.  Hmmm.  Again, we&#8217;ll reference <a type="amzn">SKYNET and Terminator</a>.</li>
<li><span style="color: #fd5a1e;">Neuroscience</span> &#8211; In specific, projects that&#8217;ll create brain-machine interfaces.  Is this putting us one step closer to <a type="amzn"><em>The Matrix</em>?</a></li>
<li><span style="color: #fd5a1e;">Real-Time Accurate Language Translation</span> &#8211; <em>Tower of Babel</em> my ass.</li>
<li><span style="color: #fd5a1e;"><a type="amzn">Space</a></span><a type="amzn"> &#8211; </a><a type="amzn"></a>, here we come.</li>
</ol>
<p>Scary, but real, stuff.  You can find the full report <a href="http://www.darpa.mil/stratvision.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>Which one of these research projects would you most like to see come to fruition?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A former astronaut is climbing Mt. Everest in a hunt for alien life on Earth.  Read more <a href="http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/090518-everest-astrobiology.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>If there is alien life on Everest, do we really want to find it?  Anything tough enough to survive in the harsh environment of Mt. Everest could be a serious threat to mankind.  To illustrate this point, here are two stories that clearly portray the dangers of searching for alien life in the frozen and hostile climates of Earth.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #fd5a1e;">Story #1</span></strong> is <a type="amzn">H.P. Lovecraft&#8217;s At The Mountains of Madness</a>, the terrifying story of a scientific expedition to the arctic that discovers the ruins of a vast alien civilization and the preserved remains of highly evolved creatures that aren&#8217;t as dead as they appear.</p>
<p><span style="color: #fd5a1e;"><strong>Story #2</strong></span> is  <a type="amzn">John Carpenter&#8217;s The Thing</a>, which recounts another arctic expedition&#8217;s encounter with a deadly alien organism that&#8217;d been frozen under the ice for hundreds of thousands of years.</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t knkow these stories, we highly recommend you familiarize yourself with them.  They are a clear warning against the current exploration for alien life on Mt. Everest.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the trailer for <em>The Thing</em>.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #fd5a1e;">**** Caution.  Possible SPOILER ALERT ****</span></h4>
<p>J.J. Abram&#8217;s <em>Star Trek </em>features a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacGuffin" target="_blank">Hitchcockian macguffin</a> like few we&#8217;ve ever seen before.  It&#8217;s a mysterious substance referred to as &#8216;red batter&#8217; by the film&#8217;s villain, Romulan Captain Nero.  Now, there is some debate right now over whether Nero called it &#8216;red batter&#8217; OR &#8216;red matter&#8217;, but for the sake of giving this amazing substance more identity, we&#8217;re calling it &#8216;red batter&#8217;.</p>
<p>&#8216;Red batter&#8217; has the ability to reduce itself and matter around it into a singularity at a rapid, exponential rate.  As a bomb explodes on impact, &#8216;red batter&#8217; gravitationally sucks in everything around it on impact.  The end result is that most awesome of interstellar objects, the fearsome black hole.</p>
<p>In J.J. Abram&#8217;s <em>Star Trek</em>, Captain Nero uses the &#8216;red batter&#8217; (or &#8216;red matter&#8217;) to create a black hole in the center of Spock&#8217;s home world Vulcan.  This black hole devours the planet in a matter of minutes in a sequence that is, in our opinion, much more terrifying than <em>Star War&#8217;s </em>Death Star&#8217;s planet destroying laser beam could ever be.<br />
<object width="425" height="344" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/4wVEhafuF7A&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/4wVEhafuF7A&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /></object><br />
Besides creating black holes, the &#8216;red batter&#8217; can also affect time travel.  If you&#8217;ve seen the new <em>Star Trek</em>, you&#8217;ll know what I&#8217;m talking about.</p>
<p>Could such a matter exist in reality?  Perhaps.  A recent study, which you can read more about <a href="http://www.technologyreview.com/blog/arxiv/23530/" target="_blank">here</a>, suggests that all particles are miniature black holes.  IF this is the case, than it is probable that there is a catalyst which would enable these miniature black holes, which are everything, to coalesce together at an exponential rate to create a rapidly growing black hole that devours everything in its path.</p>
<p>Could the Large Hadron Collider be a catalyst for such a reaction?  If so, what sort of defenses have we put in place?</p>
<p>And did Captain Nero say &#8216;red batter&#8217; or &#8216;red batter&#8217;?  Personally, we think &#8216;red batter has a nicer ring to it.  What do you think?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Is the mysterious substance raining on Bethesda, MD fallout from chemtrails?  Read more <a href="http://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/Dont-Breathe-the-Air-in-Bethesda.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>Washington news organizations are reporting that a white mystery substance has been falling on the area for sometime now, and people are starting to worry.  Local officials say they&#8217;ve traced the source of the material to a nearby construction site, but not everyone believes this answer.</p>
<p>Bethesda is home to NIH&#8217;s main campus (The National Institute of Health).  NIH is home to some of the most cutting edge medical research in the world.  Chemtrail conspiracy theorists think they could be conducting a new experiment on the people right outside their gates.  Chemtrail theorists say government agencies have been dumping chemicals into our atmosphere for years as part of a massive covert operation.  The purpose of the operation is said to be everything from population control to atmospheric modification for an alien race that has infiltrated the power elite.</p>
<p>Chemtrail sightings and evidence are rare in the Washington, D.C. area, and rarely is there evidence as visible as the substance currently raining down on Bethesda, MD.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Another step towards floating cities or Big Brother?  You decide.</p>
<p><em>DARPA</em> is moving project <strong>ISIS</strong> into its demonstration phase.  <strong>ISIS (Integrated Sensor Is Structure)</strong> is a military project with goals to launch an autonomous statospheric-based airship equipped with supercharged sensors for surveillance.  The lightweight structure will hover high above earth for years and be capable of tracking objects as small as a child from up to 300 km away.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-581" title="isis" src="http://www.lokitimes.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/isis.jpg" alt="isis" width="450" height="338" /></p>
<p>But, the idea of hovering surveillance structures troubles privacy groups like the <em>Anti-Satellite Sympathizers</em>.  <em>A.S.S. </em>founder and president Neil Kaminskigee said the following: &#8220;It&#8217;s just one more step towards a totalitarian police state, in which every square inch of earth has a dedicated &#8216;surveillance camera&#8217; to watch over citizens.&#8221;</p>
<p>Others see this as another step towards floating airbases and cities.  Population control organizations have promoted the idea of permanent, stratosphere based structures to help alleviate overcrowding on the surface of our planet.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The robot is named Probo.  He&#8217;s modeled after an imaginary alien creature with an elephant like trunk.  Researchers designed Probo to study human-robot interaction.  Probo is programmed to communicate and react to humans in a believable social manner.  Probo can also imitate emotions.  But, robot apocalypse watchdog groups think creations like Probo will act as a Trojan Horse for the mechanical armies they theorize we&#8217;ll face in the future.</p>
<p>&#8220;These robots are teaching us to let our guard down,&#8221; says Dr. Phil Tompkin, a scientist specializing in de-technolozation at the <strong><em>Institute For Simplicity </em></strong>(IFS).  &#8220;We cannot allow this to happen.  If we believe robots can be cuddly, emotional creatures, then we&#8217;re one step close to putting mankind in a position where these machines can stab us in the back.  Once these AI systems reach a certain level of sophistication, they will lash out against us, their creators.  Mark my word.  We cannot teach our children to be comfortable around mechanical beings!  It&#8217;s like teaching a 3-year-old that Scorpions are puppies.&#8221;</p>
<p>Whether or not Probo turns against us remains to be seen.  All we know is that an army of Probos sounds like a terrifying thing.  And why is he called Probo?  Does it have something to do with his trunk?  We shudder to consider the possibility.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Post submitted by anonymous investigator.  Views expressed herein do not necessarily reflect those of The Loki Times.</em></p>
<p>Twitter, tweets, and tweetbacks.  Harmless sounding words we hear more and more as the popularity of the social networking and micro-blogging service grows at an exponential rate.  But the explosive growth of Twitter has left us little time step back to analyze the threat it poses to mankind.  A new <a type="amzn">&#8216;Big Brother&#8217;</a> is growing right in front of our eyes.  It is the all knowing Twitter hive mind.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-561" title="twitterhivemind" src="http://www.lokitimes.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/twitterhivemind.jpg" alt="twitterhivemind" width="316" height="299" />The Twitter hive mind feeds on our thoughts, personalities, moods, and ideas.  Everytime someone tweets, a snippet of information is sent to a growing pool of data.  This data pool reflects a large part of mankind&#8217;s collective consciousness.  While the everyday Twitter user might not care, large corporations and governments do.  They can analyze this data to learn more about the people they seek to control.</p>
<p>Lying in the superficially inane flow of Tweets are patterns of thought which groups like the Illuminati can use to manipulate the minds of citizens.  Right now, researchers are developing sensors that can be paired with Twitter in order to deliver a constant stream of information regarding everything from your heart rate to mood (<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/14/technology/internet/14twitter.html" target="_blank">read here</a>).</p>
<p>And we can&#8217;t ignore studies showing that Twitter could be destroying our capacity for emotion and empathy (<a href="http://www.physorg.com/news158864256.html" target="_blank">read here</a>).  The thought is that the constant data-stream sent through a service like Twitter is shortening our attention spans and preventing reflection on what we&#8217;re reading, therefore reducing our ability to feel emotion.  This all snowballs into a sort of brainwashing in which we become little more than living conduits of information.  This brainwashing effect only further serves the purposes of those who will learn how to use Twitter for their own nefarious ends.</p>
<p>So the next time you hear someone Tweet, &#8220;I just ate a bagel for breakfast&#8221;, or &#8220;On my way to work&#8221;, remember that those simple words could be contributing to the downfall of mankind.</p>
<p>Twitter &#8211; Dangerous or Harmless.  What do you think?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Viruses suck.  They&#8217;ve killed millions of people.  They make us sick.  We have to get shots of their dead bodies to build up our immune systems.  They are just nasty little life forms that endlessly replicate and harm.  Despite all this, researchers at MIT think they&#8217;ve found a redeeming purpose for viruses.  That purpose is battery power.  Read <a href="http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2009/virus-battery-0402.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-550" title="viralpower" src="http://www.lokitimes.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/viralpower.jpg" alt="viralpower" width="433" height="295" /></p>
<p>In short, scientists genetically engineered viruses to mimic the properties of the positively and negatively charged ends of a battery through which power flows.  These new virus built batteries allegedly have the same power capacity and performance of as cutting edge batteries developed to power things like electric cars.</p>
<p>But many are skeptical of depending on viruses for one of our most valuable commodities, energy.  Anti-Viral Anything (AVA) president Vlad Soresh had the following to say: &#8220;Given the history of our relationship with viruses, can we really depend on them for our energy?  I think they&#8217;ve proven time and time again that they want to cause nothing but harm to mankind.&#8221;</p>
<p>Despite criticisms like those, the genetically engineered technology is a major breakthrough in battery research.</p>
<p>What do you think?  Can we trust viruses to supply us with energy?</p>
