Very interesting summary of why our modern conception of a 5000-year history of civilization is as unscientific as it is laughable.
The Real Matrix’s Hidden Truth
The Real Matrix’s Hidden Truth
By Peter J. Denney
“An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because no one will see it.â€Â -Mahatma Gandhi
“I would know the whole of the truth and make preparation for it.†–Patrick Henry
My neighbor, Frank, and I were chatting outside his house the other day. He’s become well aware of my passion for researching and writing on issues which are reported on television, and how I often offer “outside-the-box†perspectives on both past and current events. He has never taken me up on any of my challenges to check out my sources, and, most of the time, we simply agree to disagree.
We both agree, however, that the movie “The Matrix†is still one of the best “sy-fy†movies ever made. Frank has watched it several times. So, on this day, I decided to use this movie as a metaphor while we discussed our usual array of topics. Recently, he has come to suspect that something isn’t quite right, that maybe we are being mislead on some topics like the economy, for example. He’s begun to worry about his 401k…if it will be there for him and his family. “That’s the thorn in the back of your mind,†I replied, quoting the character Morpheus in the movie. I left him thinking that maybe he’s right to be suspicious…

Rolling Thunder: medicine man
“All life is a circle. The atom is a circle, orbits are circles, the earth, moon, and sun are circles. The seasons are circles. The cycle of life is a circle: baby, youth, adult, elder. The sun gives life to the earth who feeds life to the trees whose seeds fall to the earth to grow new trees. We need to practice seeing the cycles that the Great Spirit gave us because this will help us more in our understanding of how things operate. We need to respect these cycles and live in harmony with them.”

Japanese dock lands on Oregon beach
“A massive dock” that was washed away from a city on Japan’s northeast coast by the devastating March 2011 tsunami landed this week on an Oregon beach. It’s a warning sign that dangerous chunks of debris from that disaster are reaching the Pacific coast of the mainland U.S. much sooner than predicted, The Oregonian reports.

“The Yonaguni Monument is a massive underwater rock formation off the coast of Yonaguni, the southernmost of the Ryukyu Islands, in Japan. There is a debate about whether the site is completely natural, is a natural site that has been modified, or is a manmade artifact.[1][2] The site is variably referred to as the “Yonaguni Underwater Formations” (与那国島海底地形, Yonaguni-jima Kaitei Chikei?) and the “Yonaguni Underwater Ruins” (与那国島海底éºè·¡, Yonaguni-jima Kaitei Iseki?) in Japanese.” (from Wikipedia)
