Some Straight Talk

You know, what happens with these truly huge high end manufacturers and their marketing people, is that more often than not - and certainly in the Western part of the world - at some point they start to believe that 'they' (the current managers) are in control right now, and that therefore they are the sole reason for the brand's success...

And that would be just fine and dandy if they kept to the formula of whatever it was they were making - but no, they suddenly get this idea that any decision they make, and usually guided by what they imagine is rational economics, must be the right thing and no discussion about it is to be had. 

Another nicely-composed shot of the Aston 'Q'

Get them to change their mind about anything? Impossible. One of the most outstandingly absurd items ever to go into all the wrong places in high quality luxury vehicles - for example - is composite carbon fiber laminate. 

Now if you sit in modern examples of any of the great automotive marques - Jaguar, Aston Martin, even Bentley - the first thing you will notice and often even before the engine starts and the wheels roll, is the squeaking and creaking from the carbon fiber used structurally inside the cabin. The whole idea of carbon fiber in vehicles is that it combines incredible strength with lightness... Once again that is fine; except when you start to believe there is a limitless curve for vehicle weight, and that such a trajectory is in any case a permanently fixed objective - you end up with a racing yachting skiff for a road car, instead of a car at all, really, with all of the attendant rattles and squeaks.

Okay, you put up with the noises; I don't mind. But don't try to sell me on the carbon fiber 'cross-hatched' fake wood, or 'para-wood!!'

And you pay the money and you can go flying around streets and corners without due consideration for the consequences and risks of accident at high speed. Yeah, yeah, vorsprung durch technik has taken care of it... Not. Ordinary common *'ing whiplash will kill you or make your life terminally miserable. 

This is actually a new DB11 V8

Carbon fiber is rubbish when it comes to some 'ultimate material.' Like anything it has its own limitations - a LOT of them, in this case in fact.

So no, I won't be buying your Aston Martin today, Mr 'Q.'

And that there, about 'Q' - is me being about as straight as I could possibly ever be. Nod nod wink wink.

Secrets Of Carotene Degradation

Huh? What?

Yep.

1. What you are about to read are secrets.

A rose in the night...

And 2., because not a whole lot of people read this blogspot, they will likely remain secrets to the greater public for a while at least.

...But you know, huge big commercial operations at the very top understand some of these things that you are about to read here:

Do you know why people generally like the scent of roses? I'll tell you why - the chemicals that make for the threshold perception value (which happens to be very low, less than 1 part per Olympic-sized swimming pool) spur the body to make melatonin - which in turn increases the human brain's sensitivity to a vast range of positive sensations.

The actual chemical molecules that provide the characteristic scents (there are many of them all in a category broadly called Damascones, or Damascenones), are derived from the break-down of carotenoids. What also falls on the spectrum of these types of 'rose ketones' or rose scents, includes what makes tea pleasant - this chemical is also a Damascone molecule.

Now why is this important at all?

Well, now, the real secrets go beyond the simplistic kind of thing you are likely to read elsewhere. 

As you probably know, the most expensive and very difficult to acquire discontinued thing called 'Nombre Noir,' contains these Damscone molecules in abundance, and it also has some other clever compounds in its contruction that produce some effects in a person's perception - but you have to look at the art of the man who made the thing in the first place: he committed suicide when the major brand house of 'Shiseido' not only discontinued the line, but tried to re-call and buy-up/buy-back all the stock that was still out there unsold.

Art includes ways to trick the mind...

And 'the art' that I was referring to? Well, just look at the name itself; this man knew more than he said in any kind of open detail... The time that the human body produces the most natural melatonin is during the so-called true 'witching hour' between 3 and 4 a.m. Some people think the witching hour is just after midnight, but it is in fact just before 4 a.m. The reason people believe sunlight 'produces' melatonin is because increased levels of light raise the threshold of dark at which melatonin starts to be produced.

So yeah, Nombre Noir. It's about the night, about the dark.

Nothing Happened

The 4th of July hasn't ended yet, and it's barely begun in the US, so this is a bit premature but I'm not expecting anything to happen. Nothing has ever happened 'on schedule' or 'on cue' ever in the past as far as this type of thing is concerned, so I don't expect much will change now.

Okno space surveillance system in Tajikistan

...And certainly not just because I commented that there was traffic about some 'event' or 'incident' of an unusual nature going to take place on the 4th of July this year, 2018.

All the same, it's worthwhile noting that the famed 'Roswell UFO incident' is commemorated on the 4th of July - because William Brazel, a homestead foreman, retrieved materials from the supposed crash site on the 4th of July 1947, even though the actual crash was meant to have happened a week or so earlier. And I suppose this (4, July) is the important date because facts and hard evidence are the really significant things, aren't they - picking up some actual debris from the crash of whatever the thing was, was the most valuable thing.

Today, when there are so many cameras readily available to the hands of so many people just, well, everywhere - people can't get away with simply making verbal claims about something they saw: pics or it didn't happen!

And the next fact that requires to be taken into consideration is that there are hundreds of space surveillance installations - radar and radio frequency sensor arrays as well as sophisticated optical telescopes - all over the world run by governments.

Today, if anything turns up for real - we'll see it and get decent pictures too.

4th July 'Alien' Incident Is Planned

Active Intelligence pathways are suggesting there is reason to expect some kind of 'trouble' on the coming 4th of July which will be related to unusual and very high tech, advanced high altitude craft.

Ridiculous though this sounds, it's also still possible nonetheless.

When you look at these 'rumors' that appear in open paths of wider communication, one way of up-grading the potential assessment, is to see whether there have been traces, if even subtle ones, over the recent past which all lead up to the kind of thing actually being foreshadowed.

Just a beautiful pic, as far as I'm concerned;
doesn't particularly mean anything to me!

The 'strange' incident of Jeffrey Alan Lash in which the 'alien agenda' narrative appeared in the media accounts, and the media repeating of statements by NASA contractor Robert Bigelow concerning his belief about aliens living surreptitiously on Earth at the present time - are the kinds of 'traces' that can be genuine because 'dark ops' people tend to 'trial run' their schemes in public view in 'contained' ways beforehand. These two examples are both linked by several seemingly tangential common factors: hotels, gambling, Las Vegas, and illicit weapons and large numbers of weapons. It isn't certain in my mind what the point of these types of escapades is, but I would assume the gunning down of a crowd at night in Las Vegas is/was indeed this kind of 'black operation' exercise. 

And now there are indications of a coming July 4 'incident.'

For me one of the most disruptive factors with regard to getting straightforward access to, and solidly-grounded discussion of 'alien' things, is that if you simply just scan across the net generally for the subject matter involved, there are so many depictions of what 'aliens' look like, or are said to look like, and even those common ones like the so-called 'Nordic whites' are far too disparately described and betray a lot of modern pop folkloric biases, in my view, to do anything more than serve to confuse. And that's especially so because people get very emotionally invested in various 'ideas' and make their assumptions concrete thereby. You can't shift them away from incorrect beliefs via what tiny bits of authentic factual material exists because of their emotional 'overburden' as it were.

I did personally know the head of Eastman High Altitude Photography and he, in fact, was the person who taught me darkroom technique. He happened to be related to the first wife of the 3rd Baron Rothschild -, Nathaniel Mayer Victor R. Without going into things too much more than that, at various official levels of government-private enterprise partnerships, there is little doubt, er, no doubt at all, that there are such things as real, 'alien' beings on and near this planet. 

So I'm not altogether sure what any sort of 'faked' alien incident is going to achieve - except more confusion. And when you confuse the public at large, you are also organizing confusion in young minds of those who would 'be scientists' later on. 

At some point I have a suspicion that you might find the aliens who have been here a good long time now, send us a message to the effect that 'this is us,' and this is 'not us;' or, this is 'you messing around' but it is 'not us.'

And I could post a pic here with the caption 'because this is us' but I won't because it will just become 'just another one' on the far too large heap and get lost in that mess. 

United States Space Force

On June 18, 2018, the 45th President of the United States, President Donald John Trump, announced a directive to create the United States Space Force, which would be the sixth branch of the US Armed Services.

In 2007, I myself personally witnessed one of the two successful firings of hydrogen fluoride laser canons from 'in space-mounted' positions which destroyed two satellites - one initially by the Chinese government of a Chinese satellite, and within months followed by the successful obliteration of a US-owned satellite, by the US.

Superficially it would seem clear that the creation of the new US Space Force is a 'balance' response to the quite obvious stance the Chinese leadership is taking that China must have a presence in near-Earth space that is a military presence.

Atacama ALMA facility (around 16,000 feet above sea-level),
actually has an hotel open to the public - where you can stay,
and look at the stars without the 'light pollution' of cities.

For me it's become virtually impossible to say anything in detail, really, either about 'ET aliens,' or things like the new US Space Force, because not only is there so much already out there covering both subjects, but these are areas filled with tendentiousness - people have strongly-held views and opinions, and even 'facts' are themselves occasionally subjected to the interference of various governments via state-sponsored propaganda, or simply due to natural bias and prejudice that some governments and organisations and people are incapable of being sufficiently self-aware about to rectify in terms of intelligent analysis.

There most certainly are 'ET aliens,' and there are very active government programs to maintain as much leading-edge knowledge about them as would be prudent for national and global human security purposes. Yet at the same time there has been a consistent 'shadowing' as it were of military technology causes, for anything that stands out in the press as otherwise some kind of 'UFO' incident: the Roswell instance is always pitched to relate to some sort of pre-Cold War narrative, rather than any genuine, authentic 'extraterrestrial' affair - and now we have very recently seen the US Naval pilot's (new) authenticated film of some mysterious 'craft' not generally presumed to be part of any current human technical capability... Yet, once again within weeks more or less, the announcement of a 'Space Force;' and thereby creating a hint that this is all about Chinese technological threats rather than anything at all to do with literal 'space aliens' as such flying around incredible 'craft' in front of US Navy planes.

This pic is still Atacama, but Green Bank Virginia also
has a facility for SETI 

Two things are crystal clear and even have effect at official government and academic levels: 1. that the known Universe is very fast, and contains a massively huge number of stars and planets including a large number that could provide conditions that would be able to sustain life as we know it, and 2. there is absolutely zero case history of formal, authentic, two-way acknowledged between 'alien' and any obtaining 'Earth' government body - communication. 

These two things are genuine facts which cannot be disputed.

But these indisputable facts leave wide avenues for intelligent conversations about why these two things have gone together at all - namely, that aliens do not interact either openly to very large numbers of the public, nor directly and openly with human governments; and yet that it is also a mathematical certainty that 'we are not alone.' 

In fact we are certainly not alone.
