I'm taking the transmission out this rough terrain forklift today. I'm sitting on the tire. Thought I'd share with you.
Greetings Cynical...

Dex

That's one little impressive forklift Dex. I've never seen one have a lift so high! PLus it, by the looks of it is a mini fork lift. I've seen many in my life time but not one that size. Doesn't it get top heavy? Whats it max weight load? An what do you guys use it for?

Automated killer robots 'threat to humanity': expert

Feb 27 07:18 AM US/Eastern

http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id ... _article=1

Increasingly autonomous, gun-totting robots developed for warfare could easily fall into the hands of terrorists and may one day unleash a robot arms race, a top expert on artificial intelligence told AFP.

"They pose a threat to humanity," said University of Sheffield professor Noel Sharkey ahead of a keynote address Wednesday before Britain's Royal United Services Institute.

Intelligent machines deployed on battlefields around the world -- from mobile grenade launchers to rocket-firing drones -- can already identify and lock onto targets without human help.

There are more than 4,000 US military robots on the ground in Iraq, as well as unmanned aircraft that have clocked hundreds of thousands of flight hours.

The first three armed combat robots fitted with large-caliber machine guns deployed to Iraq last summer, manufactured by US arms maker Foster-Miller, proved so successful that 80 more are on order, said Sharkey.

But up to now, a human hand has always been required to push the button or pull the trigger.

It we are not careful, he said, that could change.

Military leaders "are quite clear that they want autonomous robots as soon as possible, because they are more cost-effective and give a risk-free war," he said.


Several countries, led by the United States, have already invested heavily in robot warriors developed for use on the battlefield.

South Korea and Israel both deploy armed robot border guards, while China, India, Russia and Britain have all increased the use of military robots.

Washington plans to spend four billion dollars by 2010 on unmanned technology systems, with total spending expected rise to 24 billion, according to the Department of Defense's Unmanned Systems Roadmap 2007-2032, released in December.

James Canton, an expert on technology innovation and CEO of the Institute for Global Futures, predicts that deployment within a decade of detachments that will include 150 soldiers and 2,000 robots.

The use of such devices by terrorists should be a serious concern, said Sharkey.

Captured robots would not be difficult to reverse engineer, and could easily replace suicide bombers as the weapon-of-choice. "I don't know why that has not happened already," he said.

But even more worrisome, he continued, is the subtle progression from the semi-autonomous military robots deployed today to fully independent killing machines.

"I have worked in artificial intelligence for decades, and the idea of a robot making decisions about human termination terrifies me," Sharkey said.


Ronald Arkin of Georgia Institute of Technology, who has worked closely with the US military on robotics, agrees that the shift towards autonomy will be gradual.

But he is not convinced that robots don't have a place on the front line.

"Robotics systems may have the potential to out-perform humans from a perspective of the laws of war and the rules of engagement," he told a conference on technology in warfare at Stanford University last month.

The sensors of intelligent machines, he argued, may ultimately be better equipped to understand an environment and to process information. "And there are no emotions that can cloud judgement, such as anger," he added.

Nor is there any inherent right to self-defence.

For now, however, there remain several barriers to the creation and deployment of Terminator-like killing machines.

Some are technical. Teaching a computer-driven machine -- even an intelligent one -- how to distinguish between civilians and combatants, or how to gauge a proportional response as mandated by the Geneva Conventions, is simply beyond the reach of artificial intelligence today.


But even if technical barriers are overcome, the prospect of armies increasingly dependent on remotely-controlled or autonomous robots raises a host of ethical issues that have barely been addressed.

Arkin points out that the US Department of Defense's 230 billion dollar Future Combat Systems programme -- the largest military contract in US history -- provides for three classes of aerial and three land-based robotics systems.

"But nowhere is there any consideration of the ethical implications of the weaponisation of these systems," he said.

For Sharkey, the best solution may be an outright ban on autonomous weapons systems. "We have to say where we want to draw the line and what we want to do -- and then get an international agreement," he said.

Hi Don, Starry, Dex, and you too Uncle John

Have you guys got the feeling that the time to DUCK is just around the corner?

Have you noticed the news today about inflation?


ain't nothing to folks who have lived low budget for years
but sure gonna cause some people some pain to lose what thewy have become a compfort with.

I recently came across a saved email I'd written to alleged Project Aquarius scientist Nicholas Severs back in October 2005. I didn't get a response from Mr Severs, surprise surprise [he probably thought I was a prized loon ], and I didn't get anywhere when I tried telephoning Imperial College, where he worked in the Faculty of Medicine, either. The opening lines of the email are a bit over-courteous and toe-curling -- I wish I'd got to the point earlier instead of faffing around and being nicey-nice. But the Golden Thread might as well have a record of the email for posterity.


Date: Thu, 6 Oct 2005 06:52:49 -0500
From: M Cole <m_cole>
Subject: 3 questions for you
To: n.severs@imperial.ac.uk


Professor Severs, If I may be so bold, what's the J stand for in your middle name? My middle name also begins with J -- it's Julian, it pains me to say... By the way, I'm British, like you, and I am in awe of the research work you and your colleagues have been doing. I've just read your paper in pdf format regarding: "Gap junction remodeling and cardiacarrhythmogenesis: cause or coincidence?" But that's not the reason I'm contacting you. Professor Severs, I don't expect you to respond to this email, but it would really help me in my quest for certain truths in this funny old world of ours. If your outgoing emails are being monitored, then I would really appreciate it if you could take out five minutes of your busy schedule to email me using another more confidential email address. If you do use another email address to reply to me, please put only: (2003) in the subject line (including the brackets). The three questions I have to ask you are simple and fundamental to my quest: A simple yes or no answer will suffice, but you may expand on them if you wish to. However, without sounding too presumptuous, I do require honest answers. 1) Are you aware of a man called DAN Benjamin Catselas BURISCH (formerly Dan Crain), PhD? 2) Are you aware of the "bird" and the "clock" issues? 3) Have you ever had any dealings with Chi'ielah? I look forward to hearing from you. Best wishes.


I also contacted BBC's Newsnight about Don and Starry's case in Canada in 2005, but was ignored too. I only wish I'd lived in and around London, then I could have made a serious stab at getting in touch with Professor Severs on a day off, but the things Shady recently reported on would probably today get my blood analysed by surveillance camera as I'm driving on the M11 motorway towards London, and make me a marked man. Living out in the sticks has its advantages. You leave the surveillance society behind in the towns and cities...for the time being, at least.

Don, and others,

I reviewed your letter and removed a few things I think might trigger the wrong response and added a few I think might get some resolve. Take a look, tell me what you think:

Dear [Senator/Congressman] ____________________;

Thank you in advance, for taking the time to read this letter, I’ll get straight to the point as I know your time is very valuable. Recently, I came across a legal affidavit that was signed by a Dan Burisch who claims to be a doctor, a scientist, and a former employee of not only our government but a secret government agency known as “Majestic 12”. In this affidavit, which can be found at

http://danburisch.info/b2/legal/leg_affidavit_1.htm (I have attached a copy for your review as well)

he claims that this MJ-12 agency uses the other federal agencies to assist them in surveilling and harassing American citizens. He also makes other extraordinary claims, including the claim that he was a participant in treaty negotiations with alleged extraterrestrials in what he calls the “Tau-9 Treaty Conference for the Preservation of Humanity”. He also claims that he has taken part in secret projects such as “Project Preserve Destiny”, due to what these aliens have warned will be a massive pole shift in our very near future – sometime with in the next 4 years – during which billions of we humans are supposedly going to parish. Lately, this same Dan Burisch claims that he and the rest of the so-called “Majestic 12” have used a device called the “Looking Glass” (which supposedly cost $4 billion of taxpayer dollars) to determine that we will probably avoid this pole shift because we are on “Timeline 1, variant 83”. Now, is this nonsense or is it true? Either this Dan Burisch should be jailed for perjury or lauded as a hero, but from the legal claims made, it is clear we need public hearings to get to the bottom of it all.

Now, [Sen./Congressman ______], I’m not an expert in all the “conspiracy theories” out there, but I do know a legal document when I see it (even though this affidavit is in Canadian court records, it was sworn by an American on behalf of an American) and I know my US Constitution, which says that “no treaty shall be ratified without the approval of two-thirds of the US Senate”. So I ask; did you approve of this alleged “Tau-9 Treaty”? Were you even told about it?

If what this affidavit of April 13th, 2005 claims is true, then it appears the US government (at least part of it that is privy to top-secret information) has been hiding a potentially devastating event from us and potentially from you, an event we could be preparing for. I admit full well that this all sounds very bizarre. However, ever since Watergate we know we can’t really trust our government to tell us the truth. We know we’ve been lied to time and time again. Being that this Burisch fellow claims to be an employee of the “secret government” and has also signed another affidavit that names the members of that group, (as including the current Vice-President, Richard B. Cheney, the current Director of National Intelligence John ‘Mike’ McConnell, former CIA directors Porter Goss and George Tenet, former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, former National Security adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski, former Chairman of the Federal Reserve Alan Greenspan, the former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Richard Myers, the former director of the National Institute of Health, H. E. Varmus, and others of equal stature), I think we need public hearings on these claims of his and the excuses this group known as “Majestic 12” will put forward for not telling us the truth.

As a representative of the people, I am hopeful you will support a resolution to call for public hearings to get to the bottom of these claims. Please know that I am not asking you to take my word for any of this; the simple fact that there are very real, legal, and recorded documents that make such outlandish, unconstitutional claims on behalf of our own government all by itself warrants serious investigation and public hearings. All I am asking is that you will find it as important as I do, (along with countless others), to take action on the behalf of the people in your state, as well as for all humanity, as it is your civic duty to take action against these crimes and the criminals responsible.


Sincerely,

Dag

Artificial nervous systems
Living Neural Networks Could Drive War Machines

Soldiers will control battlesuits using their own nerve impulses, thanks to artificially grown human nervous systems. Cybering lovers could control sex toys over the net and "feel" when they're touched, using the same biotechnology. Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have succeeded in growing a miniature human nervous system in culture, inside an artificial network. They hope it could be used to repair nerve damage, but the ability to grow fully functional human nerves suggests all sorts of other possibilities. Click through for more details.

In previous studies, the UPenn group succeeded in growing axons from rat neurons, removed from the rats' dorsal root ganglia. Neurosurgery professor Douglas H. Smith and his team induced the neurons to grow ganglia on two nutrient-filled plastic plates, then pulled the plates apart slowly according to a computer-controlled progression. "Mechanical tension" caused the neurons to grow into long tracts of living axons. The researchers were able to implant the cultured axons into a model of a rat's spinal cord injury.

This time around, Smith's team obtained neurons from 16 humans' dorsal root ganglia, and put them in a special "growth chamber." Once again, they used the "stretch growth technique" to pull them apart. The neurons survived for over three months in culture, while keeping ability to respond to electrical signals transmitted along the nerve fibers. [Newswise]

Researchers Engineer First System of Human Nerve-Cell Tissue

http://www.newswise.com/articles/view/538087/



Newswise — Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have demonstrated that living human nerve cells can be engineered into a network that could one day be used for transplants to repair damaged to the nervous system. They report their findings in the February issue of the Journal of Neurosurgery.

“We have created a three-dimensional neural network, a mini nervous system in culture, which can be transplanted en masse,” explains senior author Douglas H. Smith, MD, Professor, Department of Neurosurgery and Director of the Center for Brain Injury and Repair at Penn.

Although neuron transplantation to repair the nervous system has shown promise in animal models, there are few sources of viable neurons for use in the clinic and insufficient approaches to bridge extensive nerve damage in patients.

The Stretch Test
In previous work, Smith’s group showed that they could induce tracts of nerve fibers called axons to grow in response to mechanical tension. They placed neurons from rat dorsal root ganglia (clusters of nerves just outside the spinal cord) on nutrient-filled plastic plates. Axons sprouted from the neurons on each plate and connected with neurons on the other plate. The plates were then slowly pulled apart over a series of days, aided by a precise computer-controlled motor system, creating long tracts of living axons.

These cultures were then embedded in a collagen matrix, rolled into a form resembling a jelly roll, and then implanted into a rat model of spinal cord injury. After the four-week study period, the researchers found that the geometry of the construct was maintained and that the neurons at both ends and all the axons spanning these neurons survived transplantation. More importantly, the axons at the ends of the construct adjacent to the host tissue extended through the collagen barrier to connect with the host tissue as a sort of nervous tissue bridge.

The Next Step
Now, the researchers have taken the next step and are applying this technique to living human nerve cells. Smith and his team obtained human dorsal root ganglia neurons (due to their robustness in culture) to engineer into transplantable nervous tissue.

The root ganglia neurons were harvested from 16 live patients following elective ganglionectomies, and four thoracic neurons were harvested from organ donors. The neurons were purified and placed in a specially designed growth chamber. Using the stretch growth technique, the axons were slowly pulled in opposite directions over a series of days until they reached a desired length.

The neurons survived at least three months in culture while maintaining the ability to generate action potentials, the electrical signals transmitted along nerve fibers. The axons grew at about 1 millimeter per day to a length of 1 centimeter, creating the first engineered living human nervous tissue constructs.

“This study demonstrates the promise of adult neurons as an alternative transplant material due to their availability, viability, and capacity to be engineered,” says Smith. “We’ve also shown the feasibility of obtaining neurons from living patients as a source of neurons for autologous, or self, transplant as well as from organ donors for allografts.”

Penn co-authors are Jason H. Huang, Eric L. Zager, Jun Zhang, Robert G. Groff IV, Bryan J. Pfister, M. Sean Grady, and Eileen Maloney-Wilensky. Akiva S. Cohen from The Children’s’ Hospital of Philadelphia was also a co-author.

The authors thank the Gift of Life program and the family members of the organ donors for their support and selfless sacrifice. This work was funded by the National Institutes of Health.

Local ET Contact Activity Report
By Ed Komarek
2/27/08
Copy and Distribute Freely
My blog: http://exopolitics.blogspot.com/

I have discussed in some previous writing some of the local ET activity in my area. Years ago I developed my own personal intelligence gathering network locally that at one time was bringing in about a couple of sightings a week over a 50 mile radius from my home near Cairo Georgia. When I started going out and researching these, what I call collateral sightings, I found that sometimes the collateral sightings lead to a contactee that was a source of those sightings. Some of these contactees that have ethical ET contact became my friends over the years and we share information between us. Mostly this detailed information was not to be disclosed to the pubic for ET security reasons and for the security of the contactees.

Recently things have begun to change for the better and my contactee friends are becoming more forthcoming for a couple of reasons. One reason seems to be that world governments have been breaking their promises to certain ethical ET groups to openly disclose extraterrestrial reality to the public in a controlled manner. There has been a lot of foot dragging over the years and the ETs have given the world governments an ultimatum either to disclose or they will do the job for them. A recent increase of ET activity worldwide seems to back up this assertion as well as what seems to be a corresponding increase in world government disclosure.

A second reason for a more forthcoming release of information from my contactee friends seems to be that warfare between their human and humanoid ET friends and a reptilian race is heating up over the future of this planet and some other worlds as well. I was recently surprised to learn that there really is something to these, outrageous speculations of reptilian carnivore ETs eating human and other animals from earth. I was told by a contactee that large numbers of people are going missing around the world. It would seem that these reptilian ET predators are living off the land so to speak when they are here.

Recently on 2/25/08 I visited some contactee friends of mine who live near Moultrie Georgia for some discussions and some sky watching. I also got to see some video tapes of different ET craft that have been taken recently by a contactee friend. One tape was very good showing what the ET humans call a five seat star-tracker craft coming overhead just over treetop level. It showed a good view of the undercarriage. The center of the saucer was bright white but out toward the edges there were other lights going on and off and that also illuminated the undercarriage. These lights were going on and off so fast that they change from pause to pause on the video recorder. This video is as good as anything on the net and we may try to get it onto the internet.

Sky watching that evening was also very interesting with a UFO flashing on its main lights quickly a couple of times to just let us know it was there. The ETs had to back off because there were so many fighter jets in the area. We watched a couple of fighters for a couple of hours looping back and forth over some chicken houses where craft have been video taped. Then they both traveled to the north and soon after that a huge craft of some kind came by flying toward Moody Air Force Base with a fighter escort of 8 to 10 craft trailing behind it. That was really interesting. The military jets do their best to harass and threaten my contactee’s ET friends in a game of cat and mouse which is really unfortunate but has been going on for a long time.

While at my contactee friends house we shared information that I will provide below. I left a printout of my e-book with my friends to give to the ETs when they were through with it. I am hoping I may gain face to face contact and be allowed to write about it in the future. My friends and I discussed amongst ourselves information on several ET races to which they were familiar. One friend said he was familiar with 5 different human or humanoid races and one reptilian race and knew about three other human races but only indirectly.

I would like to point out some interesting observations relating to my contactee friends. Two of these friends have relatives in the military and or the intelligence community that are involved in classified projects involving extraterrestrial reality. One of my friend’s biological father was Sam who I refer to in the Eisenhower Briefing article. These ET contact networks intersect not only through civilian networks and military networks but through generations of people as well.

Even more fascinating it would appear that we are all linked through reincarnation networks as souls incarnate together and the lives of individuals from different world intersect. I thought it interesting that a contactee on the Open Minds Forum said he remembered the time before he was born and was shocked that he was going to be born into a primitive world this time around. Of course all of this is just too much from some UFO investigators and enthusiasts to handle but that seems to be the big picture that is developing. I have discovered that a person will only get as far in this field as his or her own mind will allow.

The following is the information I received while visiting my contactee friends. I cannot verify the information personally because I have not had face to face contact with the ETs myself but rely on second hand information. I would like to point out that I just try to report on what I learn and am not interested in arguing with those who have closed minds. If one wants to stay on the level of chasing sightings that is fine by me. Some of us however have the mind to go deeper and we follow the collateral sightings of witness to the people the occupants of the craft are interacting with.

Recently on The Open Minds Forum I saw were a neophyte was bemoaning the fact that they wished stuff was happening in their area just as around Stephenville Texas. The truth is that these contact networks intersect throughout society and chances are there is a contactee or two in your local area right under your nose that you don’t know about. It takes interest, an open mind and persistence to find these people. In my case it has taken most of my life to get this far. Hopefully others can build on and follow my trail so as not to have to reinvent the wheel. I also think that now that things are opening up more real contactees will be coming out of the closet and on to the internet.

The information bellow follows from my discussions with two of my contactee friends with some information relayed through one friend about another that was not there. This article is subject to revision for any errors I might have made.

1. The Setorians: These are contactee K’s ET friends that are short and barrel chested. Three of us saw their ship come down over a swamp and K met with them a short time while a contactee friend and I got close but no face to face contact. Two of the craft followed me home to see where I lived because I saw them cross the corner of my 60 acre property at the time when I arrived home that night. This happened in the early spring of 1992 I think. I have more written about them elsewhere in my blog. They are from about 7 light years away.

2. The Gorgon: These are fairly friendly humanoid ETs that speak with a bark, ears stick way out, have a squarish head, silver helmets, wear orange boots and breathe air and sometimes breathe some kind of liquid with green particles.

3. The Tytrains: All three of my contactee friends have these ETs as friends especially two brothers whose first names start with A. There are also two sisters one whose name starts with S. The sisters are more recent arrivals and one was injured in a battle with the Reptilians but is okay now. The men are muscular Hercules types five and half to six feet tall and the S one of the females is about five feet three inches tall. The men are around 800 years old, don’t leave fingerprints, are sexy, both men and women are vegetarians and come from the direction of the Horse Head Nebula. They are 4-5 light years away. These distances seem to be very close so I wonder if these distances are correct.

I was told a story by contactee M that contactee K told her. ET A and at least one other maybe his brother beamed down into K’s house and got stuck there for half a day because of some Air Force jets. They had a little party and drank some beer and had a good time. Finally a wrist band on ET A started beeping and they were able to beam out of the house. Contactee M says that K told her that the ship had to be exactly 300 feet above the house to do this and a blue beam was used in this instance. M says the beams can be different colors, blue, yellow and white I guess depending on the kind of ship being used.

The Tytrains mother ship is about the size of three football fields. The star-tracker is one of several types of ships that are kept on board the mother ship. If there is a mechanical problem or if jets get anywhere close the ship will automatically return to the mother ship. Usually at least two scout ships travel together one to keep a eye out for our military and one for the meeting. Some scout ships are the size of a auto and only carry two people others 5, 6, 8, or more.

The Tytrains and some of the allied groups are fighting the Reptilians in what is increasing being called a war over who controls earth and some other worlds as well. My friends say we will have to fight them also and we must win. I was also told the Stephenville Texas sightings are part of an ongoing program in which they are connected.

4. The Fytrillons: Related to the Tytrains, they have a bad body odor; they are human looking and have little buttons on their finger tips.

5. Reptilian races: The size ranges from three feet to eighteen feet, have scales under one half inch, human shaped bodies and head but with an alligator like snout and teeth, recessed ears, vertical pupils, and originate from the direction of the Cats Eye Nebula about 12 light years away. They are carnivores, only eat meat some of which are humans and are responsible for many missing people around the world. They are a militaristic violent race and are extremely dangerous. Contactee L is rather upset as are his ET friends as at least one Reptilian ship has been sighted locally. The friendly ETs have no fly zones and if one of these reptilian craft is sighted in one of these zones they will be shot down if possible no questions asked!

A word of suggestion; the pointed reference to "J", though innocuous the way you may have intended it, would have stood out like a defiant but sore thumb. He may have recoiled immediately, even though you professed a mutual middle initial as a means of affably disarming him. But when you emphasized that you wanted honest answers, as opposed to 'dishonest' answers, he may have decided against your request.

When i speak f the Alien Latex Masks they wear to induce a victem to believe it is Aliens running experiments on them,,, when i speak f the Holographic projections of UFO's and aliens appearing in the bedrooms or other rooms in a house, that is exactly what it is.

Many abductees are nothing more then experimental labrats of these operations.
Whitley Striber is the most well known of them to some people.

In the abduction scenario they ran on me back in 1996, when the BUGS were the abductors, these were agents in latex mask and the craft was a Holograpm,,, took a few years for me to remember it entierly,,,
But now i recall ripping into one of them and got his mask ripped almst all the way off.

A heck of a lot of memmory has been recovered on my part over the past 8 years of recovering from the brainwashing of 1999,,,


Rog'

Don,

Thank you for your response, I have sent it out to my local representative and both Senators. I plan to send several more copies this weekend. I am even sending it to senators and congressmen in Oregon, my home state. Do you recomend certified letter, snail mail, or are the emails sufficiant?

I would like to send a group letter out to all Senators with in the next few weeks, perhaps we can use a boiler plate form and get more people in here to do the same. I think their are 220 senators, thats less than $100.00 in stamps envelopes and copies. Imagine what kind of an impact we could all make if each senator recieved 50 or even 100 of these letters demanding they take action!?

On another subject, I have never been able to get the video to play at DanBurisch.info.com??? Please let me know as soon as it is back up on youtube....

Peace.

I know most of us don't have a clue to who we converse with and I want you to know I'm not a mystery.
Now you'll be able to spot me at a convention.
And maybe some day if any of you are in the neigborhood you might want to stop by for a visit.
Plenty of room.
