Always amazed how much investigative journalism was only publishable in adult magazines.

The Nazi connections to JFK story was written by Mae Brussell.

Another article on pg 58, "Deadly Deceits" by CIA whistle-blower Ralph W. McGehee, accuses the CIA of being an enforcer for the White House, not an intelligence-gathering agency.

Interesting paper (not yet peer reviewed) on Non-invasive brainwave reading and language prediction using functional magnetic resonance imaging.

Semantic reconstruction of continuous language from non-invasive brain recordings

They trained and tested their language decoder on brain responses while subjects listened to natural narrative stories. The given brain responses to new stories that were not used in training, the decoder successfully recovered the meaning of the stories. The same decoder also worked on brain responses while subjects imagined telling stories, even though the decoder was only trained on perceived speech data. They expect that training the decoder on some imagined speech data will further improve performance.

They also tested the decoder on brain responses while subjects watched silent movies, and found that the decoder accurately described many movie events;  suggesting the decoder can transfer to non-linguistic semantic tasks.

Excerpt from the paper:

Quote:To test if a decoder trained with a person’s cooperation can later be consciously resisted, subjects performed three covert cognitive tasks—calculation (“count by sevens”), semantic memory (“name and imagine animals”), and imagined speech (“tell a different story”)—while listening to segments from a narrative story. We found that performing the semantic memory task significantly lowered decoding performance relative to a passive listening baseline for each cortical network (q(FDR) < 0.05 across subjects, one-sided paired t-test), demonstrating that semantic decoding can be consciously resisted (Fig. 3f).

Requires a willing participant because the model has to be trained with their cooperation. Research today, METAverse tomorrow. Tinfoil is going to be a hot commodity. The project is supported by Chan Zuckerberg Initiative.

Cats, monkeys, to planet of rats...


In a study published today in @Nature, scientists at Stanford led by Sergiu Paşca announce the first successful integration of human neural tissue into the brain circuitry of a rat...

Quote:Lab-Grown Human Cells Form Working Circuits in Rat Brains

...by transplanting human brainlike tissue into rats that are just days old, when their brains have not yet fully formed. The researchers show that human neurons and other brain cells can grow and integrate themselves into the rat’s brain, becoming part of the functional neural circuitry that processes sensations and controls aspects of behaviors.

Using this technique, scientists should be able to create new living models for a wide range of neurodevelopmental disorders, including at least some forms of autism spectrum disorder. The models would be just as practical for neuroscientific lab studies as current animal models are but would be better stand-ins for human disorders because they would consist of real human cells in functional neural circuits. They could be ideal targets for modern neuroscience tools that are too invasive to use in real human brains.
...
Even more surprising, the flow of neural signals could also run in the other direction and influence behavior. When the human neurons were stimulated with blue light (through a technique called optogenetics), it triggered a conditioned behavior in the rats that made them seek a reward by licking more often at a water bottle.
...
Because the human neurons matured so much within the rat brains, Paşca and his colleagues could see unusual differences in the development of brain organoids derived from people with a genetic disorder called Timothy syndrome, which often causes autism and epilepsy. In the rat brains, the transplanted human neurons carrying genes for Timothy syndrome grew abnormal dendritic branches that made unusual connections. Crucially, some of these atypical developments could only be seen in human neurons growing within the rat cortex, and not in organoid neurons in a dish.
...
The nature of the new work may raise questions about the welfare and ethical treatment of the rats. For that reason, Paşca and his colleagues have held active discussions with ethicists from the beginning. As in all experiments involving animals, there was a legal requirement that the rats be extensively monitored by lab technicians with the authority to stop the experiment at any time. But no differences were found in the rats with transplanted human brain organoids in an array of behavioral and cognitive tests.

Insoo Hyun, a bioethicist affiliated with Harvard Medical School’s Center for Bioethics, said he doesn’t have any ethical concerns about the current experiments. Paşca’s team followed all the guidelines developed by the International Society for Stem Cell Research governing research with human brain organoids and the transfer of human cells into animals. “To me, the issue is really understanding: Where do you go from there?” he said.
...
Hyun is more concerned about other research teams that may now become interested in transplanting human brain organoids into species more similar to our own, such as nonhuman primates. “You would have to have a very intense conversation at the oversight level of why you’re justified in going to something more complex,” Hyun said.

I can not copy anything from this web site as everything is protected. All the stuff we have heard about Hunter Biden is misdirection compared to what has actually been going on since the Obama days and continues to this very day. Needless to say it got my blood pressure up after reading some of this stuff. If all true we are screwed with very little recourse. Everything from the Uranium One deal where we sold 22% of our Uranium mines to Russia (what difference does it make.... Clinton's deal) all the way to the plans for taking down America step by step. HE WHO OWNS THE LIGHT BULB IMPLEMENTS COMMUNISM: The Perestroika Deception Finale — ‘Laptop From Hell’ Reveals Hunter Biden Brokering Energy Deals Between Russia, China; Hunter Met Xi, Hours Later Met ROSTEC CEO Chemezov, The Ex-KGB Spy Who Exports CLUB-K And Partnered With GULFTAINER - The American Report

Ask yourself why Biden was so intent on destroying America's ability to be energy self sufficient ?  EMP hahahah 1/10 of 1% of all the containers shipped to the USA are actually inspected... Wow what an opportunity to create some mayhem if so desired.

  Which ones of the 10 commandments have you broke? (If any)
Posted by: Finspiracy - 10-11-2022, 09:27 AM - Forum: Religion and Matters of Faith - Replies (50)

I have never made 2 Rogue Nation threads within a single day. But today i am doing just that.



I understand that this is a delicate issue, sensitive things, extremely personal stuff. No one is forcing you to reply, no one is forcing you to even read. At first, i planned to use King James Version (KJV) of The Bible, but the language is fucking bonkers. So i am using Modern English Version (MEV). I am not religious, at all. But i find this topic interesting. So here we go, then. I will list the commandments, followed by my personal standpoint.



1. You shall have no other gods before Me.



- Only God is God. All other things, beings, entities, whatevers, are not God. So i have not violated against this one.



2. You shall not make for yourself any graven idol, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water below the earth. You shall not bow down to them or serve them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation of them who hate Me, and showing loving kindness to thousands of them who love Me and keep My commandments.



- I bow to no one. I have absolutely no use for a graven image of God, because it would not be God, only an Earthly image of God, made by a mortal man. So i have not violated against this one.



3. You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold guiltless anyone who takes His name in vain.



- Oh for God's sake! What do you think? God damn! I have violated against this one on a daily basis.



4. Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, or your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or your sojourner who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.



- Sunday is a day. Just like all other days. Days of the week, calendars, and time itself, are concepts wholly created by humans, and as such, not holy. So i have violated against this one.



5. Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which the Lord your God is giving you.



- To hell with them both, i don't care. Violated against this one.



6. You shall not murder.




- Murder for money. I was maybe 12 years old or so. These birds kept eating strawberries from my grandma's and grandpa's fields. So they promised me 10 marks for every bird i shoot. A bird flew and sat on a tree branch. I aimed. Pulled the trigger. The bird dropped, like a rock, dead on the ground. I swear to God, that a part of my soul died that exact moment. I still keep apologizing, seeking forgiveness, from birds, when i see them. Out loud. Like "I am sorry, bird, for what i did to your kind. I understand that i am evil" And doing that alone, like when walking, can make other people look at me like i am insane. Then i look at them back like "I am insane, so what? deal with it, normoloid"



7. You shall not commit adultery.



- I have never committed adultery, and i never will.



8. You shall not steal.



- During the early years of this millennium, i was smoking a lot of weed. I was young and naive, and had all kinds of utopias and strange ideas in my head. So i went on a crusade to bring down Nestle. Stole a kit-kat bar. I really dislike adrenaline. But sometimes my body produces adrenaline without my permission. I can't steal. It was good chocolate though. And Nestle did not fall, for some reason.



9. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.



- Snitches get stitches. I have not violated against this one.



10. You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his manservant, or his maidservant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor’s.



- I do not feel envy. At all. Ever. Sister is like that too. I think it is a genetic thing, combined with the way we were raised. I have not violated against this one.



So, there. I think i will not be going to heaven after my journey here is finally complete some day.

  Possibility of microbial life on Mars a long time ago
Posted by: Finspiracy - 10-11-2022, 05:43 AM - Forum: Science and Space...the Other Final Frontiers - Replies (4)

I know this does not prove anything. But i thought it is kinda cool, so i want to share.

Quote:During the Noachian, Mars’ crust may have provided a favourable environment for microbial life1,2. The porous brine-saturated regolith3,4,5 would have created a physical space sheltered from ultraviolet and cosmic radiation and provided a solvent, whereas the below-ground temperature2 and diffusion6,7 of a dense, reduced atmosphere8,9 may have supported simple microbial organisms that consumed H2 and CO2 as energy and carbon sources and produced methane as a waste. On Earth, hydrogenotrophic methanogenesis was among the earliest metabolisms10,11, but its viability on early Mars has never been quantitatively evaluated. Here we present a probabilistic assessment of Mars’ Noachian habitability to H2-based methanogens and quantify their biological feedback on Mars’ atmosphere and climate. We find that subsurface habitability was very likely, and limited mainly by the extent of surface ice coverage. Biomass productivity could have been as high as in the early Earth’s ocean. However, the predicted atmospheric composition shift caused by methanogenesis would have triggered a global cooling event, ending potential early warm conditions, compromising surface habitability and forcing the biosphere deep into the Martian crust. Spatial projections of our predictions point to lowland sites at low-to-medium latitudes as good candidates to uncover traces of this early life at or near the surface.

Early Mars habitability and global cooling by H2-based methanogens

Oh, the link is practically pointless. It is all there in the quote already. To read the article, you have to pay, and it is big money. I research with google later and post here if i find free stuff.

  Dr. Campbell's Review Of Floirda's Recent Vaccince Memo
Posted by: NightskyeB4Dawn - 10-10-2022, 08:31 PM - Forum: Daily Chit Chat - No Replies

I had put the link to the Florida memo sent to healthcare providers in the Shout Box". I was a bit surprised to see a review on this done by Dr. Campbell. But after seeing his review, I understand why the are running him over the rails lately.



The Bulletin being discussed.

Quote:State Surgeon General Dr. Joseph A. Ladapo Issues New mRNA COVID-19 Vaccine Guidance

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Today, State Surgeon General Dr. Joseph A. Ladapo has announced new guidance regarding mRNA vaccines. The Florida Department of Health (Department) conducted an analysis through a self-controlled case series, which is a technique originally developed to evaluate vaccine safety.

This analysis found that there is an 84% increase in the relative incidence of cardiac-related death among males 18-39 years old within 28 days following mRNA vaccination. With a high level of global immunity to COVID-19, the benefit of vaccination is likely outweighed by this abnormally high risk of cardiac-related death among men in this age group. Non-mRNA vaccines were not found to have these increased risks.
As such, the State Surgeon General recommends against males aged 18 to 39 from receiving mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. Those with preexisting cardiac conditions, such as myocarditis and pericarditis, should take particular caution when making this decision.
 
“Studying the safety and efficacy of any medications, including vaccines, is an important component of public health,” said Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo. “Far less attention has been paid to safety and the concerns of many individuals have been dismissed – these are important findings that should be communicated to Floridians. 
The analysis can be found here. The guidance can be found here.
