Frank Jacob is an international award-winning filmmaker, public speaker, popular talk-show guest, visual artist, musician and influencer. Having teamed up with US motion picture production company Screen Addiction, his recent works explore the frontiers of consciousness-raising subjects in diverse presentations and through award-winning films such as ‘Solar (R)evolution’, ‘The Klaus Dona Chronicles’, and ‘Packing For Mars’. In 2019 Frank directed and co-produced the series ‘Timeless’, a first of its kind German format exploring the world of the paranormal for US Online Network GAIA.
In March 2022, Frank broke an article about a mysterious group called the ‘Guardians of the Looking Glass’, who claimed to be a breakaway faction of the controversial Project Looking Glass, having re-surfaced to help humanity avert upcoming disasters. This time-peering technology makes it possible to see into probable timelines, future outcomes and more, and is being used by rogue elements in government, as well as the Elite, to bring about a technocratic dictatorship. The story exploded onto internet, reaching millions, and making Frank a highly present personality on the blogosphere and talk-show circuit. He followed up with ‘A Tale of Two Timelines’, a webinar that dives deep into the history and main protagonists of that story. Through his unique approach and diverse field of research, supported by an international network of cutting edge scientists and fellow researches, Frank is able to piece together divergent aspects of reality, that connect science, consciousness, ETs, CERN, A.I., time-travel, inter-dimensional messages, the meaning of timelines, and an upcoming Cosmic Event with the power to propel mankind into a quantum evolutionary leap, long predicted by indigenous peoples around the world.

Other highlights have included a first-of-its-kind ‘live cinema’ feature called ‘LOOP Live Cinema’, where musical stage performances where orchestrated in tandem with dynamic visual sequences projected as dramatic narratives. He was invited to conceive and perform a unique live cinema spectacle, in January 2010, in collaboration with a 65-piece symphony orchestra in Salzburg, the birth town of Mozart.

ALS Sufferer ‘Speaks’ for First Time in Years with Groundbreaking Brain Implant - Silicon Angle, August 15, 2024

Scientists at the University of California at Davis have helped a man to speak again using a brain chip that can interpret his brain signals to read them aloud using artificial intelligence to mimic the man’s real voice. In 2023, Casey Harrell was diagnosed with the neurodegenerative disorder amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS. The disease slowly took away his ability to walk, and to hold his young daughter, spreading to his mouth and robbing him of the ability to speak in anything other than a very slurred, totally incoherent way.

In July last year, electrodes were surgically implanted into his brain in an effort to try and understand what he was trying to communicate when he spoke. Connecting humans using what’s called a brain-computer interface, BCI, is perhaps more well-known through Elon Musk’s Neuralink Corp., which has also made considerable progress of late. In 2023, a paralyzed man in Europe walked again, a leap into the future for neuroscientists at Maastricht University in the Netherlands. Read more here.

This Gorgeous Home is Custom-Designed for People With ALS - Fast Company, September 13, 2024

ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that currently doesn’t have a cure. While it develops differently in each patient, the disease causes neuron cells in the brain and spine to deteriorate over time, ultimately making it difficult to speak, eat, move, and breathe. In later stages, those with ALS typically require a wheelchair for mobility and a caretaker to provide daily assistance.

The layout of a standard home can present myriad challenges, including limited doorway space to navigate in a wheelchair, cramped bathrooms, inaccessible kitchens and entrances, and a lack of privacy between the patient and their caretaker. To address those challenges, Matt’s Place is working on designing prefabricated homes that can eventually be produced en masse. The house comes with smart eye-gaze technology, a wheelchair-accessible layout, and natural light everywhere you look. read more here.

Electric Vehicles Don’t Need to Sound like the Future, Even if They are the Future - Yahoo Finance, September 27, 2024

If you’ve ever experienced the strange silence of an electric vehicle passing by, you know that EVs don’t make much noise, or at least, they don’t have to. They don’t have gas-powered engines or transmissions that result in a classic car sound.

Still, there’s an entire industry devoted to ensuring EVs do sound like something, primarily for safety reasons. After all, pedestrians rely on their ability to hear a car coming, it’s why studies suggest that EVs and hybrids are twice as likely to hit pedestrians as gas cars. It’s also why the U.S. and other nations are mandating that all EVs have an acoustic vehicle alerting system (AVAS). Read more here.

Dying Made Easier? Switzerland Prepares for Use of Portable Suicide Pods - Business Standard, July 18, 2024

A group advocating for assisted dying has announced that a portable suicide pod could be used in Switzerland for the first time within a few months, allowing individuals to end their lives without medical supervision, Swiss media reported. The device, known as the ‘Sarco capsule’, was introduced in 2019 and functions by replacing oxygen with nitrogen inside the pod, leading to death through hypoxia (low levels of oxygen in body tissues). The cost for using the Sarco capsule is $20.

The organisation ‘The Last Resort’ reportedly said that there are no legal barriers to using this device in Switzerland, where the law permits assisted suicide provided the individual performs the act themselves.

What Really Happened at the Pentagon’s Once-Hidden UFO Office? - Scientific American, September 26, 2024

An office in the Pentagon investigated UFOs and the paranormal over a decade ago, segueing into a long saga leading to Congressional hearings and breathless news stories today. But the real story looks more like former defense officials pushing their personal mythology, rather than any cover-up of aliens.

After a long hiatus of systematic U.S. government–affiliated investigations into UFOs, a Pentagon office quietly resumed such efforts in 2008. Called the Advanced Aerospace Weapon Systems Applications Program (AAWSAP), it was funded to the tune of $22 million in total. The life and cancellation four years later of this Defense Intelligence Agency program has featured in congressional hearings, UFO “whistleblower” claims and renewed public uproar about aliens. But the real story is more sordid than sensational. Read more here.

Retired NASA Astronaut Urges Government to Investigate "Compelling" UFO Claims - The Byte, September 19, 2024

"I've seen some compelling testimony from navy fighter pilots who... in a position of leadership in a squadron, have seen something very compelling," Kelly said.

As video from the GZero interview suggests, the senator and prior commander of the Space Shuttle was likely referencing ex-Naval pilot Ryan Graves' Congressional testimony last summer in which he described seeing a craft so strange while flying off the coast of Virginia a decade ago that his flight commander "immediately" called the mission off.

NASA Inspector Issues Warning About Growing Cracks Leaking Air From Space Station: 
Two words: NOT GOOD. - The Byte, September 27, 2024

According to a new report by NASA's inspector general, the space agency is growing significantly concerned over leaks in a tunnel connecting the International Space Station's Russian segment to a docking port. Worse yet, officials are still not entirely sure what is causing them.

"On-going cracks and air leaks in the Service Module Transfer Tunnel are a top safety risk," the report reads. "And NASA and Roscosmos are collaborating to investigate and mitigate the cracks and leaks, determine the root cause, and monitor the Station for new leaks." In April, NASA "identified an increase in the leak to its highest level to date," releasing 3.7 pounds of atmosphere a day, a massive increase compared to just under 1 pound in February.

Musk Says Humans Can be on Mars in Four Years. Many Laugh, but Some See Purpose - The Guardian, September 27, 2024

Almost buried beneath a recent avalanche of rightwing invective posted by Elon Musk on the platform he owns, X, was one eye-popping statement that made space watchers sit up and take notice: an assertion that humans could land on Mars within four years and be living there in a self-sustaining city in 20.

It seemed a fanciful boast, even by the standards of the SpaceX founder and world’s richest man, who transformed the logistics and cost of shorter-duration, near-to-Earth orbit space travel with his fleet of reusable Falcon rockets. The US government space agency, Nasa, which is collaborating with SpaceX over knowledge and technology to get astronauts to the red planet, believes a first crewed landing by 2040 would be “audacious”.

PROVOCATIVE IDEAS

Head of the Snake: Exclusive Phone Call with Maria Farmer & Whitney Webb - Substack, September 25, 2024

This is a riveting 25-minute clip from a 3-hour recorded phone call interview between Jeffrey Epstein employee, Maria Farmer and journalist, Whitney Webb. The full audio was originally posted by The Last American Vagabond in 2020 and this excerpt really brings the story to life, with scoring and images and short clips added from unidentified documentaries, some of which have been taken down from the internet.

The creator of this amazing piece is a pseudonymously-named PVPGURL. The information contained, both in the audio and with the added visuals is mindblowing (to put it mildly) and it is actually a major feat in filmmaking, because, while rough-looking imagery in a film can be a style decision, bad audio can make a film completely unwatchable.

Could Helene Have Been a DARPA Creation? - IPE, September 29, 2024

Let’s look at a conspiracy theory as described by those who are paid to control the permissible narratives. For many years the US Government has financed the HAARP investigations funded by the US Air Force, Navy, and DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects).

HAARP’s purpose is to investigate the potential for developing ionospheric enhancement technology that could be used to excite weather conditions in an area of the ionosphere. In other words, it is possibly a program to weaponize weather disguised as experiments to enhancement radio communications and surveillance, just as law and news “reporting” have been weaponized. Or the program could be what it is said to be. As we have neither an honest media nor an honest government, we cannot know. Suspicious people ask how official spokespersons knew in advance that Helene was heading for Tallahassee. No one knows where a hurricane is going or with what strength until 15 minutes before it hits. Helene is an example. In the last few minutes it hit far to the east. Read more here.

The US Empire Does Not Seek Peace; Its Existence Depends on Endless War - Global Research, September 29, 2024

It is obviously false to say the US seeks peace in the middle east, but it’s not really accurate to say it seeks war either. To me that would be like saying water seeks wetness or fire seeks heat. War is just what the US empire is made of. It’s the thing that it is.

Everything about the US-centralized power structure is pointed at continuous military expansionism and mass military violence. Once you’ve decided that it’s your job to try to bring the entire population of your whole planet under the rule of a single power umbrella at any cost, you’ve accepted that you will be using violent force in perpetuity, because that’s the only way to subdue populations who have no interest in such an arrangement. You might tell yourself that you want peace, and at times you might even actively try to avoid war, but everything about the way you’ve arranged your operation makes war inevitable. The US empire Isn’t a government that runs non-stop wars, it’s a non-stop war that runs a government.

Grapes in the Bible: Symbolism and Significance - Natural News, September 27, 2024

The Bible's use of fruits as images often carries meanings beyond the literal, with the New Testament alone mentioning the word "fruit" more than 60 times. While the holy book draws rich symbolism from the cornucopia of fruits created by God, the grape stands out prominently as a symbol in both spiritual and cultural contexts.

Here are some examples of how the Bible used grapes, the wine made from them and the grapevines they grow on to illustrate the Word of God. Read more here.

Your Consciousness Can Connect With the Whole Universe, Groundbreaking New Research Suggests - Popular Mechanics, September 26, 2024

A recent groundbreaking experiment in which anesthesia was administered to rats has convinced scientists that tiny structures in the rodents’ brains are responsible for the experience of consciousness. To pull it off, these microscopic hollow tube structures, called “microtubules,” don’t rely on our everyday flavor of classical physics. Instead, experts believe, microtubules perform incredible operations in the quantum realm. Citing the work of earlier researchers, the study infers that the same kind of quantum operations are likely happening in human brains.

During their rat brain experiments, scientists at Wellesley College in Massachusetts gave the rodents isoflurane, a type of inhaled general anesthetic used to induce and maintain unconsciousness for medical procedures. One group of drugged rats also received microtubule-stabilizing drugs, while the other did not. The researchers discovered that the microtubule-stabilizing molecules kept the rats conscious for longer than the non-stabilized rats, which more quickly lost their “righting reflex,” or the ability to restore normal posture, according to their findings, published in the peer-reviewed journal eNeuro in August 2024.

Japanese Researchers Make Device That Can Record And Play Back Your Dreams - News18, September 27, 2024

Imagine being able to watch your dreams as if they were a film, experiencing the events that unfold while you sleep. Japanese researchers have developed a device capable of recording and playing back dreams. This innovative technology utilises advancements in brain imaging and artificial intelligence (AI) to unlock the mysterious realms of dreams. The study was conducted at ATR Computational Neuroscience Laboratories in Kyoto.

Led by Professor Yukiyasu Kamitani, the team employed functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to record detailed neural activity associated with dreaming. Volunteers’ cognitive activity was observed during the early stages of sleep, and when they entered REM sleep, they were awakened and questioned about their dreams. Read more here.

The Shadow of the Shadow - Substack, September 27, 2024

You have to wonder: has there ever been a country that marched off to war with no head-of-state at the top of its war machine? It’s exactly that bad in our country, with a broken animatronic Halloween scarecrow popping in-and-out of the White House to yell incoherently at election campaign events for a putative successor too scared of the predicament she’s in to think straight. Really, no one is in charge — and if any of the leading actors on the scene really were, the situation could easily get worse.

Hence, the brainless wish roiling through the NSC, State Department, and the various shadow councils of the intel emeriti to lob long-range missiles into Russia, apparently heedless of any consequences. America, you are a headless horseman riding blindly into chaos. Read more here.

Does the Vatican Own BlackRock? - Forbidden News, September 27, 2024

I know who is behind this video but apparently, they don't want to be identified. The text has been put through 3 different AI-generated voices and the message is repeated three times, once with each "voice" and it is partially-obscured by loud music. Does the Vatican own Bank of America? I remember when, "interning" for Merrill Lynch in France and London, in 2005, pre-buy-out, the people making the calls were Italian and fund managers of "The Vatican Fund". Considering BlackRock is MOSTLY owned by BoA [Bank of America] – Berkshire Hathaway – property, mostly – holds most of the Vatican's property. And we all know the richest person is the Pope [the Vatican], by way of property and holdings.

Bank of America, Western Union, and JP Morgan, are among the institutions allegedly involved in the drug trade. Meanwhile, HSBC has admitted its laundering role, and evaded criminal prosecution by paying a fine of almost $2 billion. The lack of imprisonment of any bankers involved is indicative of the hypocritical nature of the drug war; an individual selling a few grams of drugs can face decades in prison, while a group of people that tacitly allow -- and profit from -- the trade of tons, escape incarceration.

All Roads Leads to Rome: Drug- and human-trafficking, Nazis, aristocracies, Italian- and Jewish mafias are all compartmentalized units of the same criminal Cabal that controls our planet, according to the mystery PDF about the Black Nobility. In other words, the Vatican owns BlackRock? Read more here.

In their Inhumanity, Conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine Offer a Shared, Brutal Vision of the Future of War - The Guardian, September 28, 2024

By acting with impunity and tearing up the rulebooks, warmonger leaders are setting an alarming precedent. It’s a golden rule of politics that national leaders do not interfere in other countries’ elections. Tell that to Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who jumped into the middle of America’s presidential campaign last week with both feet, wearing size 10 combat boots. The resulting, resounding thud could be heard as far away as Kyiv (which was perhaps the point).

Visiting an ammunition factory in pivotal Pennsylvania, Ukraine’s war-weary president told Republican nominee Donald Trump that, when it came to his appeaser’s policy of cutting off arms supplies and accepting peace on Vladimir Putin’s terms, he was talking out of his posterior. And Trump’s oddball running mate, JD Vance, was just plain “dangerous”, he said. Read more here.

The Pentagon Goes to School - Scheerpost, September 30, 2024

The divestment campaigns launched last spring by students protesting Israel’s mass slaughter in Gaza brought the issue of the militarization of American higher education back into the spotlight. Of course, financial ties between the Pentagon and American universities are nothing new. As Stuart Leslie has pointed out in his seminal book on the topic, The Cold War and American Science, “In the decade following World War II, the Department of Defense (DOD) became the biggest patron of American science.” Admittedly, as civilian institutions like the National Institutes of Health grew larger, the Pentagon’s share of federal research and development did decline, but it still remained a source of billions of dollars in funding for university research.

And now, Pentagon-funded research is once again on the rise, driven by the DOD’s recent focus on developing new technologies like weapons driven by artificial intelligence (AI). Combine that with an intensifying drive to recruit engineering graduates and the forging of partnerships between professors and weapons firms and you have a situation in which many talented technical types could spend their entire careers serving the needs of the warfare state. The only way to head off such a Brave New World would be greater public pushback against the military conquest (so to speak) of America’s research and security agendas, in part through resistance by scientists and engineers whose skills are so essential to building the next generation of high-tech weaponry.

TRAVEL & TOURISM

Space Tourism Balloon - OGN, September 20, 2024

Space Perspective has made the first successful full test of its 700-foot-long space balloon and eight-person capsule. The hydrogen-filled balloon and capsule rose 100,000 feet to the edge of space and then splashed down in the Gulf of Mexico during the six-hour test. A milestone for the space tourism company, this initial test proved the concept works. It will now need to undergo successive unpiloted and piloted tests.

The company, based on Florida’s space coast, is charging $125,000 for a seat on its eight-person Spaceship Neptune capsule. With a diameter of 16 feet (4.9 m), this spacious spherical capsule is designed to comfortably host eight paying customers, along with a Captain. The capsule has several amenities, including the world's first Space Lounge with wifi and a restroom, plus large vertical windows for panoramic views. Read more here.

Joe McMoneagle

Joe was the longest operational psychic spy in the US government’s very highly classified Stargate program where they used psychics and intuitives to look into installations and people around the world that were of interest to government intelligence agencies. They called the process remote viewing.

As it turned out, the remote viewers discovered that they were – not limited by either time or space and produced drawings and assessments that could not have been obtained in any other way. The Soviets had an active remote viewing program at the same time and it is rumored that Russia, China and the U.S. still have initiatives of this kind that are operational.

Joe’s stories are fascinating, like the time he mentally got inside a Chinese nuclear weapon and saw how the triggering mechanism worked . . . and then went out and bought the parts at Radio Shack to show the scientists in the intelligence agency exactly how it was done. The remote viewers could find submarines at the bottom of the ocean and crashed aircraft in the middle of African jungles.

Dr. Joe Dispenza

Dr Joe Dispenza is an international lecturer, researcher, corporate consultant, author, and educator who has been invited to speak in more than 33 countries on six continents. As a lecturer and educator, he is driven by the conviction that each of us has the potential for greatness and unlimited abilities. In his easy-to-understand, encouraging, and compassionate style, he has educated thousands of people, detailing how they can rewire their brains and recondition their bodies to make lasting changes.

Dr. Joe is also a faculty member at Quantum University in Honolulu, Hawaii; the Omega Institute for Holistic Studies in Rhinebeck, New York; and Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. He’s also an invited chair of the research committee at Life University in Atlanta, Georgia.

As a researcher, Dr. Joe’s passion can be found at the intersection of the latest findings from the fields of neuroscience, epigenetics, and quantum physics to explore the science behind spontaneous remissions. He uses that knowledge to help people heal themselves of illnesses, chronic conditions, and even terminal diseases so they can enjoy a more fulfilled and happy life, as well as evolve their consciousness. At his advanced workshops around the world, he has partnered with other scientists to perform extensive research on the effects of meditation, including epigenetic testing, brain mapping with electroencephalograms (EEGs), and individual energy field testing with a gas discharge visualization (GDV) machine. His research also includes measuring both heart coherence with HeartMath monitors and the energy present in the workshop environment before, during, and after events with a GDV Sputnik sensor.

As a NY Times best-selling author, Dr. Joe has written Becoming Supernatural: How Common People Are Doing the Uncommon(Hay House, 2017), which draws on research conducted at his advanced workshops since 2012 to explore how common people are doing the uncommon to transform themselves and their lives; You Are the Placebo: Making Your Mind Matter (Hay House, 2014), which explores our ability to heal without drugs or surgery, but rather by thought alone; Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself: How to Lose Your Mind and Create a New One (Hay House, 2012) and Evolve Your Brain: The Science of Changing Your Mind (2007), both of which detail the neuroscience of change and epigenetics.

Dr. Todd Ovokaitys

After two years at Northwestern, he was accepted into an accelerated combined graduate/undergraduate program at Johns Hopkins University Medical School, which conferred both B.A. and M.D. degrees. Advanced training was at Georgetown University Hospital, with a Residency and Chief Residency in Internal Medicine followed by a Fellowship in Pulmonary and Intensive Care Medicine.

During his Pulmonary Fellowship, the specialty that concerns the lungs, Dr. Todd began his research with cells of the immune system. Many procedures were done on AIDS patients to diagnose their lung problems. Observing this dire disease firsthand and the toxic results of early medical treatments, Dr. Todd developed a passion for finding better solutions. Towards the end of his Fellowship, he became aware of the benefits of Holistic Medicine for improving the function of the immune system while building rather than impairing the function of other systems.

Inspired to learn more, he moved to Southern California to study with practitioners of Complementary Medicine. In the context of these studies, he had an experience so radical that the course of his life and work were forever transformed.

During a meditation class in the summer of 1989, Dr. Todd paired with another student for an exercise. The process was profound and they took turns, one in the process while the other scribed to record any breakthroughs of awareness. Much as in the Jodie Foster movie “Contact,” the usual anchor points dissolved with the feeling of instant transport to a different dimension of being. There was a doorway or portal to traverse, with a message of the responsibility taken on through the choice to go further.

Instantly upon walking through this doorway, a living form was seen that filled a room – and had the shape of a DNA strand enlarged millions of times. This form communicated that science only partly understood how DNA worked. The linear understanding of DNA as an enormous data string was correct but incomplete. In addition, DNA was a structure of coils within coils in an environment of moving charges that permitted DNA to send electromagnetic signals much as a radio transmitter. Further, DNA could receive and be conditioned by electromagnetic signals. Most significantly, if it were possible to determine and transmit the correct resonant signals, that it was possible to switch the activity of a sick cell to that of a healthy cell, an old cell to that of a young cell.

This experience brought with it a certainty that solutions were possible. After intensive review of the previous work showing the effects of electromagnetic energy patterns on cellular health and function, Dr. Todd located a colleague with the technical expertise to build the desired invention.

Sharry Edwards

Sharry Edwards has been accused of being too scientific by some, too esoteric by others. In actuality, she is a bridge between both fields of inquiry. Sharry is the acknowledged pioneer in the emerging field of Vocal Profiling using BioAcoustic Biology. For many years she has provided the leading-edge research to show the voice as a holographic representation of the body that can be used to change the face of medicine.

Sharry asks that we imagine a future in which we can be individually identified and maintained through the use of frequency based biomarkers that keep us healthy and emotionally balanced. Her work at the Institute of BioAcoustic Biology has shown that we can each have dominion over those frequencies by individual mind management or a simple remote control that is completely programmable. Using the unique techniques of Vocal Profiling and evaluation, emotional as well as physiological issues can be revealed and addressed.

Her work with the human voice reveals that people who share similar traumas, stresses, diseases, toxicities…share similar, if not identical, vocal anomalies. She brings together ancient knowledge with modern ideas of harmonics and frequency relationship theories to show that math can be used as a form of predictive, diagnostic and curative foundation for wellness. Through entrainment of the frequency grids of the brain, the body can be programmed to support its own optimal form and function.

Robert Coxon

Although Robert Coxon had been studying and composing music for many years, it was after taking the Silva Mind Control course that he realized how powerful sound could be in relaxing the body and opening the consciousness. He then decided to write his first album.

Cristal Silence quickly became a major hit throughout Canada, staying on top of the charts for many years. This was the beginning of his continuing phenomenal success as composer and solo artist. For the last 29 years he has performed only his original compositions in concert. Robert has been nominated four times for the prestigious “Felix” award (French Canada equivalent to the Grammy), and became Canada’s best-selling New Age artist. His international breakthrough came after composing The Silent Path in 1995. This album was an instant hit in Canada, the USA and France. After hearing The Silent Path, Lee Carroll, internationally renowned author of 15 bestselling Kryon and Indigo books, contacted Robert and asked him to join his team on tour. Through the years this has given Robert the opportunity to experience different cultures and inspires him to write music honoring these many countries he performs in.

Robert offers us nine albums, the latest three being The Infinite, essence of life, Goddess -The Power of Woman and Passion Compassion Alegeria.

Good health is dependent on the appropriate transfer of information within and between cells. The informational and molecular disharmonies associated with disease can be reversed using appropriate therapeutic signals that stimulate the return to the normal state without adverse effects. One such signal molecule, SLO, has demonstrated clinical utility in a broad spectrum of indications that would at first glance appear to be unrelated. The underlying common thread that links these disorders is representative of the targets to which resonant molecular signals are directed.

Regina Meredith

As Regina’s career progressed, so did her decades long exploration into the world of esoteric and hidden sciences – the reality beyond the 5 sense world. Guidance from these realms suggested it was time to bring her skill set to the world of video/televised media, so in late 2004, along with her husband Scott, she co-created ‘Conscious Media Network’, the first online network to feature full length original video interviews with authors and experts in the realms of the meta-physical, healing arts and alternative theories, opening up a world that many had experienced but never had access to on this scale.

Gaia: In 2012, Conscious Media Network merged with Gaiam TV in 2012, with Regina serving as anchor in their new media division on Open Minds and Healing Matrix.

Dr. Harold Puthoff

Although nominated for a Nobel Prize in physics for his breakthrough theoretical work on zero-point energy, Dr. Harold Puthoff, is most recognized for having been a co-founder of the secret US government “remote viewing” program that successfully used psychics to spy on the Soviet Union and China.

Now a principal and science advisor in a leading-edge effort by former senior military and intelligence managers to disclose the many decades of interest that the US has had in UFOs, he comes to Berkeley Springs on the 8th of February to give a TransitionTalk about his work in making sense out of the UFO phenomena.

Dr. Puthoff’s presentation will include a summary of his current activities with To The Stars Academy, which is on the forefront of bringing into the open formerly highly classified efforts by the government to track, record and understand the meaning of hundreds of encounters that the military has had with UFOs over the past years.

This is an extraordinary opportunity to learn from and question one of the foremost thinkers and leaders of the rapidly accelerating global effort to both make the public aware of what was previously unacknowledged about UFO and alien interaction with humans and also to address the deep questions about what is happening and what it might mean for the future of humanity.

John L. Petersen is considered by many to be one of the most informed futurists in the world. He is best-known for writing and thinking about high impact surprises (wild cards) and the process of surprise anticipation. His current professional involvements include the development of sophisticated tools for anticipatory analysis and surprise anticipation, long-range strategic planning and helping leadership design new approaches for dealing with the future.

 

He has led national non-profit organizations, worked in sales, manufacturing, real estate development, and marketing and advertising, mostly for companies he founded. A graduate electrical engineer, he has also promoted rock concerts; produced conventions; and worked as a disc jockey, among other things.

In 1989, Petersen founded The Arlington Institute (TAI), a non-profit, future-oriented research institute. TAI operates on the premise that effective thinking about the future is impossible without casting a very wide net. The “think tank” serves as a global agent for change by developing new concepts, processes and tools for anticipating the future and translating that knowledge into better present-day decisions. Using advanced information technology, a core group of bright thinkers and an international network of exceptionally curious people along with simulations, modeling, scenario building, polling and analysis, Arlington helps equip leaders and organizations from many disciplines with tools and actionable perspectives for dealing with uncertain times.

His coauthored article, (The Year 2000: Social Chaos or Social Transformation?) was one of the most highly acclaimed writings on Y2K. His 1988 book-length report (The Diffusion of Power: An Era of Realignment) was used at the highest levels of American government as a basis for strategic planning. He has also written papers on the future of national security and the military, the future of energy and the future of the media.

Petersen is a past board member of the World Future Society, writes on the future of aviation for Professional Pilot magazine and is the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Charles A. and Anne Morrow Lindbergh Foundation.
