			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Amazing pictures taken by NASA&#8217;s Cassini spacecraft show colossal vertical structures on the rings of Saturn.  Researchers claim the massive shapes are the downtown area of an alien city.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-663" title="saturn-city" src="http://www.lokitimes.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/saturn-city.jpg" alt="saturn-city" width="450" height="187" />The images are a groundbreaking step forward in our ongoing search for extraterrestrial life.  Dave Standforth of the <em>Lovecraft Institute for Extreme Exploration </em>says the pyramid shape of some of the buildings in the alien city lend credibility to <a type="amzn">Erich Von Daniken</a>&#8216;s ancient astronaut theory, which believes the Egyptians built the pyramids with the help of alien intelligences.</p>
<p>&#8220;This discovery demands the immediate preparation of a manned flight to Saturn&#8217;s rings to make contact with these aliens who could have seeded our planet,&#8221; says Dave Standforth.  He added, &#8220;We haven&#8217;t a moment to lose as we approach the year 2012, the year of the proposed Mayan apocalypse.  Our institute is troubled by the sudden appearance of these alien structures. Remember that Von Daniken&#8217;s ancient astronaut hypothesis believes the Mayans had contact with aliens as well.  Could this be a sign of the apocalypse?  We don&#8217;t know, but we need to ask these aliens.&#8221;</p>
<p>What do you think?  Could aliens be living on Saturn&#8217;s rings?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Did alien guardians prevent an apocalyptic event in the early 20th century?  That&#8217;s what Russian scientist Dr. Yuri Labvin claims in an extraordinary new theory about the Tunguska Event of 1908.</p>
<p>The brief synopsis of the mysterious Tunguska Event is that on June 30, 1908, a massive explosion occured above a remote region of Siberia, leveling over 80 million trees across a hundred square mile area.  The explosion is estimated to have been equivelant to several A-Bombs.  The catalyst for the explosion remains a big unknown.  Read more <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunguska_event" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>Dr. Labvin, president of the Tunguska Spatial Phenomenon Foundation, says he has evidence that the explosion was caused by an alien spacecraft colliding with a massive meteor on a collision course with earth.  By exploding the massive meteor before it crashed into our planet, Dr. Labvin says the aliens saved humanity.</p>
<p>Dr. Labvin&#8217;s evidence is several quartz slabs discovered at the site of the explosion which are engraved with strange symbols.  According to Dr. Labvin, we do not possess the technology to create the intricate geometric shapes carved on the quartz slabs.  Tests with lasers were unsuccessful at duplicating the designs.  He claims the slabs are debris from the alien spaceship, possibly part of the ship&#8217;s navigation controls.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-659" title="alienpanel" src="http://www.lokitimes.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/alienpanel.jpg" alt="alienpanel" width="450" height="400" /><span style="color: #fd5a1e;">Are these alien navigation controls?</span></p>
<p>We should all take a moment to think of the brave alien astronauts who saved our planet on that fateful day in 1908.  We don&#8217;t know about you, but we feel safer knowing extraterrestrial intelligences are looking out for us.  Read more <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,522217,00.html?test=latestnews">here</a>.</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[<p>We could soon harness the power of a sun in a laboratory setting, ala Dr. Octopus&#8217;s mad scientist escapades in <a type="amzn">Spider Man 2</a>.  Or at least that&#8217;s what this experiment hopes to prove (<a href="http://www.wired.com/science/discoveries/news/2009/05/gallery_nif" target="_blank">report from WIRED</a>.)</p>
<p>The project at the <a href="http://www.energy.gov/news2009/7191.htm" target="_blank">Lawrence Livermore National Ignition Facility</a> plans to ignite a miniture star in a controlled lab environment using lasers.  This tiny nuclear reactor could produce tremendous amounts of energy.  For example, our sun blasts about 386 BILLION gigawatts of energy into space.  A large nuclear reactor generates 1 gigawatt.  Do the math.  Even if we could create a star hundreds of billions times smaller than our sun, the energy output would still be massive.  This could solve all of our energy problems as long as we can control the nuclear fusion and harness to power of a star.  Worst case scenario = the destruction of earth if the star we build powers out of control.</p>

<p>The video says it all.  What&#8217;s next?  Can you imagine a world full of glow in the dark humans?</p>
<p>Some say this could be a solution for the energy crisis and global warming.</p>
<p>&#8220;If humans glowed in the dark, they wouldn&#8217;t need lights.  Lights in our homes, cities, et cetera eat up a tremendous amount of energy,&#8221; says Physicist Peter Pablano.  &#8220;Glow in the dark powers could save the climate, since the reduction in energy consumption would lead to a massive reduction in carbon emissions.&#8221;</p>
<p>What do you think?  Should the Obama administration push forward with a policy of genetically engineering the American populace to glow in the dark as part of their energy policy?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A recent <a href="http://seedmagazine.com/content/print/the_body_politic/" target="_blank">article</a> at Seed Magazine shows that individuality is at a crossroads.</p>
<p>The report explores mankind&#8217;s complex relationship with the millions of microbes living inside us.  New research shows that we are nothing without these little critters running around our intestines, hearts, and brains.  The findings are significant enough that the<a href="http://www.nih.gov/news/health/oct2008/nhgri-16.htm" target="_blank"> <em>International Human Microbiome Consortium</em></a> came into being in October.  Their goal will be to further characterize and understand our microbial allies and enemies.</p>
<div id="attachment_568" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-568" title="bacterias" src="http://www.lokitimes.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/bacterias-300x245.jpg" alt="Bacterial Microbes Living Inside Our Bodies (NIH)" width="300" height="245" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Bacterial Microbes Living Inside Our Bodies (NIH)</p></div>
<p>According to psychologists, the new importance placed on the ecosystems within our bodies could damage our sense of self.</p>
<p>&#8220;Are we unique singular beings?  Or simply communities of organisms working together, producing the illusion of an individual?  Are we really in control, or is a crew of microbes inside our body piloting us along for their own needs?  These are the sort of psyche shattering questions this science raises,&#8221; says Dr. Caroline McDeegalan, a psychologist working for the<em> Fragile Egos &amp; Humans Consortium</em>.</p>
<p>When these concepts are combined with studies proving bacteria are smarter than we thought <a href="http://www.technologyreview.com/biomedicine/21447/" target="_blank">(read here)</a>, a scary picture of reality begins to open before us.  The idea of &#8216;self&#8217; could be replaced by the idea of &#8216;we&#8217; &#8211; the &#8216;we&#8217; being us and the millions of bacteria living in our bodies. Who&#8217;s in control?</p>
<p>What do you think?  Are we humans?  Or are we eco-systems?</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>
