The Week in UFO Phenomenon: Documentary Endorsed by Mexican government will show Maya were in contact with ETs

Happy Monday TWiUPians and again it’s my blog and I’ll put out UFO posts if I want to, and I just read an article that made me want to.

Ok, so check this out.

LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) -A new documentary about Mayan civilization will provide evidence of extraterrestrial contact with the ancient culture, according to a Mexican government official and the film's producer.

SNIP
"Mexico will release codices, artifacts and significant documents with evidence of Mayan and extraterrestrial contact, and all of their information will be corroborated by archaeologists," said Julia-Levy, son of actor Raul Julia.

In a release to TheWrap, Luis Augusto Garcia Rosado, the minister of tourism for the Mexican state of Campeche, said new evidence has emerged "of contact between the Mayans and extraterrestrials, supported by translations of certain codices, which the government has kept secure in underground vaults for some time."

He also spoke, in a phone conversation, of "landing pads in the jungle that are 3,000 years old."

SNIP

When Julia-Levy, producer Ed Elbert and co-producer Sheila McCarthy announced the Mexican cooperation with their documentary to TheWrap in August, they were circumspect about claims of alien contact, with Julia-Levy admitting he'd been ordered not to say anything about it.

Also for that article, Rosado brushed off a question about alien contact and said his country was simply offering the filmmakers' access to previously unexplored sections of a Mayan site at Calakmul.

Now, not only has Rosado changed his tune, but the Guatemalan government has joined the project, as well, giving access to artifacts and newly discovered prophecies

While the Guatemalan government is not offering information about aliens, it has joined Mexico in supporting the project. "Guatemala, like Mexico, home to the ancient yet advanced Mayan civilization ... has also kept certain provocative archeological discoveries classified, and now believes that it is time to bring forth this information in the new documentary," Guatemala's minister of tourism, Guillermo Novielli Quezada, said in a statement.
He said the country was working with filmmakers "for the good of mankind.

President Obama Opens Can of Whoop Ass: Seasons CBC Speech Liberally With It.

Last night the President gave a fire breathing speech before the Congressional Black Caucus during their Foundation’s annual Phoenix awards. He had a special message for members of the CBC who have been for the last few weeks openly criticizing the President even going so far as Emmanuel Cleaver discussing that had the President been White there would have been protest marches organized against him.

The fact that for during the entire 8 years of the Bush administration and the horrors visited upon the community by him Mr. Cleaver did essentially nothing popping off to the McClatchy newspapers seemed more than a betrayal, considering the most push back they were able to organize were angry letters, it seemed cheap and displayed a stunning lack of leadership and knowledge of where we are and have been as a people in these United States. Well last night the President reminded them.

The Week in UFO Phenomenon: UFO Sightings Leap This Summer

Namaste friends! It’s Thursday, that means it’s time for another edition of TWiUP now just rolling on my lovely little blogspot.

There was so much exciting happening over the last week I don’t know where to begin. Things continued to light up in Arizona following the breaking story of last week, YouTube has just been exploding with similar sightings that followers of TWiUP have been used to seeing for months, but now with more examples. The crop circles have apparently ceased for the year, and there were two note worthy events from people who have had abduction experiences, the 50th anniversary of the Barney and Betty Hill story, and the death of Charles Hickson.

MUFON International Director Clifford Clift told Life's Little Mysteries that he's not sure what to make of the data at this point. It could be the start of something big, or it could merely be a computer glitch that accidentally counted some reports twice. Another possibility is that we're simply in the midst of a "UFO flap," one of many periodic increases in sightings over the years.
There are several reasons UFOs might appear in flaps, or clusters. One is that objects in the sky are usually seen by many people, especially when they appear over urban areas. UFOs typically don't hover close to Earth or in someone's back yard; instead, they are often sighted high in the sky — just far enough away so that we can't see details or get sharp photos.

Sightings have just about doubled from around 500 to over 1000 per month according to MUFON. The articles go on to discuss social and psychological reasons for the increase in sightings. Did they look into the idea that perhaps people are really seeing these things and they exist? Not so much.

A meme ( /ˈ m iː m /[1]) is "an idea, behaviour or style that spreads from person to person within a culture.
A meme acts as a unit for carrying cultural ideas, symbols or practices, which can be transmitted from one mind to another through writing, speech, gestures, rituals or other imitable phenomena. Supporters of the concept regard memes as cultural analogues to genes in that they self-replicate, mutate and respond to selective pressures

Namaste friends! Welcome to the second edition of MemeBusters Thursday. Last week we took a look at 11 dimensional chess and other incarnations of the idea that the moves made by the President are so complicated as to escape understanding, like Kabuki etc.

This week we’re going to examine the propensity for people who have just been presented with a compelling argument for acts of the President with the rebuttal: Is he your boyfriend, you worship him, get a room, get the picture? Seen it before? Let’s discuss what to do when you see it again.

Remember the rules. MemeBusters are participants! We’ll need help uncovering alternate responses; we’ll need help figuring out what to do next week. Sound like fun? Let’s begin

The Week in UFO Phenomenon: My Story Updated

My blood sugar is fine Moms!

There is a cherished story in my family around when my Uncle came and visited us from back east. During his stay he had an episode that led to the final diagnosis of his diabetes. He decided that we had Patty Hearst chained in our basement and decided to climb up on our basketball goal to tell the world. It took us a solid hour to talk him down.

So when I saw my first UFO and decided to come out with what I saw, I wasn’t surprised to be invited to go get my sugar checked. I did. I’m fine Ma.

Now I have a cherished story. When my sweetie and I were married maybe 7 or 8 years (number 26 coming up) we were working on the roof, and she saw a classic triangle craft and I did not. I semi ridiculed her but she did her lady thing just gracefully accepted the ribbing, but knew what she saw, now that I’ve seen some things etc. she's giving years of I told you so in the kind of way only a lady can. Proving to me the universe does balance.

In October the star Capella rises almost perfectly up a telephone pole in my backyard where I like to set up my telescope. I like to observe Capella it’s about the 5th or 6th if I recall correctly brightest stars visible and on October 9th I was trying to see if I could observe it’s double using my weak binoculars.

I looked down for a brief moment and when I looked back up again there was an object brighter than Capella about 15 or 20 degrees below it. It was brighter in my estimation than Sirius, and I said OH SHIT WTF IS THAT! Like loudly. I watched if for about 15 minutes and it caught Capella in it’s motion, and I said holy Jesus, holy Jesus. I ran in and got my Sweetie she got her even weaker than my binoculars camera and started filming it.

I ran in and got my Meade 4504 and a good eyepiece and set it up. If you hear clicking etc in the video above that’s me setting up the telescope. Ok so it was harder than heck to lock the object up. My telescope doesn’t have a dobsonian mount (don’t buy a telescope without a dobsonian mount) so pointed it at a moving object and focusing it was more than a challenge, but I did it gosh darn it. Now after I saw what I saw I went about Richard Dreyfus from Close Encounters (duh huh?) I got straight focused and wanted to know if anybody else had seen anything that night, and that’s when I got stuck on the YouTubes. There were 100’s of uploads that night and the subsequent nights from regular folks just like myself. http://adept2u.blogspot.com/2010/10/strange-starsufos-being-caught-on.html I decided I would start a collection, but I got bored after a few days. Then I saw this from Sweden, and if anybody can tell me what this dude is saying I sure would appreciate it. This is the exact phenomena I saw from my own telescope.

I watched it for a solid 3 hours or so. It bounced around it moved, it freaking gave birth to a light orb that flew away, but here’s where the tinfoil really comes in. I could “sense” it wanted us to look at it. As if it was a beacon, as if it was just screaming LOOK AT ME FOOLS! Yeah I know it this is the time of the rational man, we don’t feel things our senses fool us, yadda and yadda, but I’m a spiritual person and one more time gosh darn it I felt it. Then just when I was trying to get a better eyepiece in my telescope the thing straight disappeared. It didn’t fly away it was there one minute looked down, and gone.

So who are the new agers below? They see what I see now on a nightly basis and no what I see and what I believe they see AINT NO SATELLITE. I see as many as 10 an hour on some nights and they interact on a mental level. You can say Adept check that blood sugar again if you want, but I’ve held demonstrations. I had an entire Halloween Party, I’ve had anybody who wants to hang out with me in my front yard to see them. My blood sugar is fine MOMS! I’ve even had her out to see them, and you know what she says? She says Meh. I’ve had my NASA family out to see them, and you know what they say? They say hmmmm.

Update 12/10/12

Ok so the sky has been very full of whatever the things I see and tonight was no different except I caught one on my cell phone!

Yippee!

The Week in UFO Phenomenon: BREAKING UFO seen by Thousands over West coast and Arizona!

He’s back!

Howdy TWiUPians, and welcome once again to The Week in UFO Phenomenon. This was a series I began on another blogging website, but have always mirrored here. As that other site has banned me, and the other sites I place my political writings on are not well suited for this kind of substance, we have the good ole Adept’s Journey, and how ever many people are following is nothing but gravy.

You guys can go ahead and place comments. They don’t show up because, get this. I moderate them. So, obviously if you’re going to question my sanity or insult me which was a hallmark of interaction on the other site, there will be no zapping, you just won’t see it litter the work.

So, let’s start with the exciting as all heck story!

Goodness! Homeboy from the video keeps saying it flashed, blue green orange, Now if you were a normal follower of TWiUP you’d remember that your humble blogger here had a very similar sighting.

If Jane Hamsher can Team with Grover Norquist I can sure send some E-mails

So, for gigles and laughs I comprised a list of every conservative outlet, radio personality, and national figure I could think of and I sent them this message.

Adept2u's Sunday Devotion

On this day we look to commune with our God I open the text to the book of Wonder. If any are confused know the basic answer to all of life’s interesting issues can be solved by how effectively we apply LOVE to it. How do you do it when it hurts so bad? FORGIVENESS, How does one forgive when it hurts so bad? It's for that exact reason that you have to learn how to do it. For who is anyone else to let their actions hurt you so badly.

I step forth into this day with APPRECIATION. I orient myself and emotions to know that all I am given is a blessing. Every event is a chance to learn. Every problem is an opportunity to perform. I have been bestowed by the creator of the universe with the knowledge of his being and for that I am the most grateful of all.

I desire to experience the expression of God through you. It is for that reason I cultivate EMPATHY in my heart as a mother raises her child. May it be strong. May it grow as a light through and about me. May it be the first thing I greet any of my human family with.

My Bellissima
My own being skips a beat
Restarts in your eyes.

The ability contained inside of each human soul is powerful as to be beyond limit. It is because of that fact I ask for HUMILITY. I ask that the awareness of that potential inform my every interaction and color my every decision. May I never endeavor to stand above another, but instead love to stand with anyone.

I am not at war with my tears for they are a sign of COMPASSION. I hope to never be so hardened as to not care. I aim to feel my brother’s pain as keenly as he does so that all pain may end. I add my waters to all those currently hurting.

http://oxfamamerica.org/

Fear is not an option. Fear has no place in the councils of my mind. I was born with all the armor I require and it is a protection that cannot be taken from me. Fear has only the ability to motivate me to Joy for I am a man of VALOR.

So I close today again calling from the Book of Wonder. I pull a page from his time machine of 1976 yet it's message is more important in the next seconds, moments, hours, today and tomorrow. Namaste friends I love you all!

How Markos Moulitsas Taught Me To Call Them The Tea Party

HELLO PEOPLES VIEW I AM ADEPT2U

You know it had been my intention to not really discuss the place I learned to love to blog The Daily Kos. It is no secret I was part of the great 2011 purge of Black contributors there that also caught up my fellow blogger and really good friend at The People’s View This is My Time. The last I heard over 30% of the Black participants of the Daily Kos were either disciplined or banned outright. I’m a salesperson by trade and I know that one doesn’t routinely talk about organizations you consider your competition. However over the last few days something that was so easy for me I could produce as many as 3 recommended posts a day for Mr. Moulitsas has become difficult, my muse is pissed. She and I have a very nice relationship normally. I don’t try and constrict her and she flows, so as the words are flowing pretty easily I have to apologize acknowledge her and let her out. I suppose I might have also been actually concerned about the ability to return to that place. However, I’ve been told in order to do that, and I have been invited, I would have to request hat in hand re-instatement from Markos, so going back is not really an option because before I'd do that I would first lie in the gutter and suck off goats for a quarter.

"If you accuse someone of being racist just because they criticize Obama? Zap! If you actually say something that is even borderline racist? Zap! If you advocate for third party? Zap! This is a Democratic site. Advocating primaries is okay. Advocating third party is not. If I see ratings pack behavior or messed up uprates or hides, I won't zap, but I'll pull ratings abilities. Hell, depending on my mood at that moment, I may zap anyway. My dev team is putting together cool reports that identify patterns, so my job will get easier, and I won't be shy in exercising them.I can't begin to care who started what."

Please excuse the lack of a link it will be my policy to never link to that site.

They say the greatest lie the Devil ever told was that he did not exist, and the most pernicious lie that The Republican Party has been able to tell, and one that apparently has no party or ideology, but instead has a basic structure in superiority which has had 350 years of domination in our society is that this

Two Solar Flares M5.3 and X2 Preliminary Indications Earth Facing now a Third

Just found out a very large section of Southern California has lost power and earlier today there was another X-flare and A strong M-Class flare registering M6.7 took place at 15:46 UTC around active Sunspot 1283

Well sky watchers remember that NASA press conference that spoke of a relatively mild solar cycle 24? I guess it’s all about the average. We experienced 2 fairly strong flares today an M5.3 at at 1:50 UTC and a real jolt of the X2.1 at 22:20 UTC.

These flares shot off sunspot 1283 which is fortunately or unfortunately sitting almost dead center of the suns disk. Preliminary reports do appear to show that both eruptions produced CMEs or coronal mass ejections which will most likely strike the earth.

Here’s the M5

The X flare

That’s some real dramatic music huh?

Kos Got me Uncle Marcus, but I'm not DEAD I'll be at the People's View

I wanted to put up a quick post for the many friends that I had when I was a participant on the Daily Kos. To those interested in who Uncle Marcus was go ahead and visit the site, find my profile I'm Adept2u there is a post with his name on it, or you can grab one of my last comments and examine its sig line. This will definitely be the last time I refer a single person to click that site.

To those wondering if I’ll seek re-instatement, the answer is no.

Despite the management's opinion it was never about the criticism, which I routinely destroyed but the racist manner they allowed the criticism to be expressed, and certain basic understandings by the management there are not open to discussion. If you would like any further explanation on that, just let me say there is a reason that place is 97% White.

So, no I won’t be playing in that sandbox anymore, however I do have a new one.

I requested and have been invited to become a contributor at The People's View http://www.thepeoplesview.net/

To my many haters out there I have a video for you

And a haiku!

In a hostile crowd
Outnumbered bloody battle
Your tormentor lives

Update 12:00 Friday September 9th

Interestingly I recieved an e-mail from managment of the above site accusing me of a lack of veracity in not mentioning that I had sought re-instatement immediately after I found out about my banning. This posting was a reflection of my thoughts after I had received managements reply and in no way was meant to imply I never sought re-instatement. It is meant to imply I will not in the future.

Update 9:00 Saturday September 10th

Several people seem to have question as to whether I might at some point change my mind and request re-instatement.

I am a proud and unbowed Black man
I would lay in the gutter and suck goat dick for a quarter before I asked Markos Moulitsas for a motherfucking thing.
If I were to be burning. Literally I'm on fire and he had a bucket of water I would prefer to burn. I tell you guys what. I'll come back when he front pages a diary apologizing to me.

Sky Watching 1B: See the Supernova this Weekend!

Namaste friends and fellow sky watchers there is a very exciting event taking place this weekend and for the next 7 or so days.

On the weekend of September 3-4, 2011 – if you live in the northern hemisphere – you’ll have an opportunity to witness what the ancients might have thought was a “new” star – a star that pops into view suddenly where no star was before. We today know it as an exploding star, or supernova. You will probably need binoculars to see the supernova … but still. It’ll be cool.

Astronomers believe it may become the brightest Type 1a supernova of the last 30 years. And you can see it with an ordinary pair of binoculars.

1. Which way do I look? The supernova is located near the familiar Big Dipper pattern in our skies. At this time of year, the Big Dipper can be found in the northwest in the hours after sunset.

2. What time of night? Don’t wait too late at night, or the Big Dipper will have set below your northwestern horizon.

Visit EarthSky.org for the full story and how to find it

Now if you can’t watch the video make sure to visit the link for instructions on how to find it.

Sky Watching 1a shows how to find Polaris may be helpful in this pursuit

The Week in UFO Phenomenon: UFO Sightings Increase 67 Percent During the Obama Administration

Namaste TWiUPians isn’t that an interesting little nugget. According to MUFON the Mutual UFO Network the largest private UFO tracking organization in the world more people are reporting UFOs during the Obama Administration. MUFON has a very cool reporting system where you can leave your written impressions, upload any videos or photographs captured, and it has a “tracker” that displays the reports obtained in real time.

"Over the past year, we've been averaging 500 sighting reports a month, compared to about 300 three years ago [67 percent]," MUFON international director Clifford Clift said.

"And I get one or two production companies contacting me every week, wanting to do stories on UFOs."

Huffpo link

I haven’t taken the time to find out if UFO sightings increase in Democratic administrations, but I don’t know. I seem to recall the President making some pointy UFO jokes at Donald Trump. Come to think of it he liked making an I’m from Krypton and my father is actually Jor-El joke before too.

I will never hide the truth because it’s uncomfortable. I will deal with Congress and the courts as co-equal branches of government. I will tell the American people what I know and don’t know, and when I release something publicly or keep something secret, I will tell you why. President Barack Obama, National Archives, May 21, 2009

Hey want to see me criticize the President? You know you want to. Release the UFO files Mr. President and the next time a citizen asks your representative a question about the subject make sure he has a real answer outside of I don’t know and some vague promise of transparency.

Last week the obvious excitement around our country at least surrounded hurricane Irene, and there were a couple of interesting sightings surrounding the hurricane. Normally I would have put the videos of the events in the regular YouTube round-up, but I thought they were interesting enough to stand out a bit.

Now apparently there is something that darts across the screen, personally I’m sort of meh on that one.

These are more interesting, but then again I really enjoy listening to the people watch these things. This sighting was caught by multiple witnesses and angles with the fairly standard of late explanation of Chinese lanterns. Plausible as always, but I do think it’s an interesting time to launch such things in a hurricane, but hey I was young and dumb once too.

Now on Sunday I posted this video. At any rate a very plausible explanation for what it was has come out.

The Peruvian military for several days have been actively seeking a "space object" that crashed in the difficult to access outskirts of the Cusco city. The comments of the national mass media noted that the "object" was a large meteorite or "extraterrestrial device" (UFO). For this region of Peru, as well as for the entire zone of the Andes Mountains, the emergence of "unidentified flying objects" is a frequent phenomenon, but the present case is remarkable in the fact that it was accompanied by strange sound and light effects. Thousands of people saw the fall of the "UFO". "This has never happened before, - said one of the witnesses, - many of us were panic-stricken." That is why the mountain-wooded neighborhood of Cusco has been examined by military helicopters and commandos units.

But there is another reason for the deployment of intensive search of a suspicious space object. The Peruvian authorities have been warned by a "certain friendly government" that "most likely" the debris of the space truck "Progress M-12M" have dropped on the territory of the country. It was launched from Baikonur on August 24 this year, but, due to the reasons that have not yet been clarified, the truck never made for the desired orbit. The attempts to find fragments of "Progress" in the Altai Mountains have been unsuccessful. A "meteorite", which caused so much noise in Peru, was recorded on August 25, and its trajectory, according to Peruvian experts, was virtually identical to the approach trajectory of the cargo spacecraft to the ISS. It may be noted that the fall of the "Shuttle" in the U.S. in 2003 was accompanied by exactly the same visual and audio phenomena as the mysterious "Peruvian Meteor".

Real bummer about the Progress they may have to abandon the ISS over that.

While I have my explainers cap on there was also an explanation for the one formation that was featured in last weeks crop circle presentation of a big deal in China. Official explanation is that it was a marketing campaign for BMW.

Let’s finish off the written presentation with an abstract from a neat article.

How do we define intelligence? SETI, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, clearly equates intelligence with technology (or, more precisely, the building of radio or laser beacons). Some, such as the science fiction writer Isaac Asimov, suggested that intelligence wasn’t just the acquisition of technology, but the ability to develop and improve it, integrating it into our society.

By that definition, a dolphin, lacking limbs to create and manipulate complex tools, cannot possibly be described as intelligent. It’s easy to see why such definitions prove popular; we are clearly the smartest creatures on the planet, and the only species with technology. It may be human hubris, or some kind of anthropocentric bias that we find difficult to escape from, but our adherence to this definition narrows the phase space in which we’re willing to search for intelligent life.

Technology is certainly linked to intelligence – you need to be smart to build a computer or an aircraft or a radio telescope – but technology does not define intelligence. It is just a manifestation of it, perhaps one of many.

Snip

By escaping the assumption that intelligence must equal technology, we see that there are many other intelligences on Earth – ask Lori Marino, and she’ll tell you that even the simplest multi-cellular life could be considered intelligent to a degree, thanks to its nervous system.

But it also poses a problem for SETI – if the Universe is full of intelligent, social, communicative but non-technological dolphins and the like, then there will be no radio beacons to transmit signals. The Universe could be full of life, of intelligence, and we would never know it.

Astrobiology.net

Cool.
