Can we all just take a moment to watch this video from a documentary called Sirius Disclosure which has over 500 government officials attest to the fact that we have extra terrestrials in our possession and have used their UFO’s to mimic their energy and propulsion systems. But the government has suppressed this information because of the fossil fuel business.

This documentary is extremely important and the website has a lot of valuable information [http://siriusdisclosure.com] that the public should be informed about but isn’t.

The documentary will be released April 22nd and I feel like it’s extremely important that it finds its way into the public eye.

THIS DOCUMENTARY IS AMAZING! EVERYONE WATCH IT! :D

It’s a must watch.

Delphinid Meteor Mystery

Explanation: Over a five hour period last Tuesday morning, exposures captured this tantalizing view of meteor streaks and the Milky Way in dark skies above Las Campanas Observatory in Chile. During that time, astronomers had hoped to see an outburst from the gamma Delphinid meteor shower as Earth swept through the dust trail left by an unknown comet. Named for the shower’s radiant point in the constellation Delphinus, a brief but strong outburst was reported in bright, moonlit skies on June 10, 1930. While no strong Delphinid meteor activity was reported since, an outburst was tentatively predicted to occur again in 2013. But even though Tuesday’s skies were dark, the overall rate of meteors in this field is low, and only the three lower meteor streaks seem to point back to the shower’s estimated radiant.

Google launches balloons in goal to provide Internet world-wide

AP: Inflatable balloons believed to be capable of sharing Internet around the world were launched this week in New Zealand as part of Google’s Project Loon.

The project, which began 18 months ago, is an attempt to share Internet with countries that lack fiber cables. The balloons are powered by solar panels are moved via prevailing winds. Each balloon is reportedly capable of providing Internet to an area twice the size of New York City.

A farmer in New Zealand was the first person to receive Internet access this week as the balloons passed overhead.

Creating A Spacfaring Civilization with Peter Diamandis | bigthink

Peter H. Diamandis is an American engineer and Intel entrepreneur best known for being the founder and chairman of the X PRIZE Foundation, the co-founder and chairman of Singularity University and the co-author of the New York Times bestseller ‘Abundance: The Future Is Better Than You Think’. He is also the former CEO and co-founder of the Zero-Gravity Corporation, the co-founder and vice chairman of Space Adventures Ltd., the founder and chairman of the Rocket Racing League, the co-founder of the International Space University, the co-founder of Planetary Resources, and founder of Students for the Exploration and Development of Space. (Wikipedia)

Why you should listen to him (as if you need any more reasons):
Peter Diamandis is the founder and chair of the X Prize Foundation, a nonprofit whose mission is simply “to bring about radical breakthroughs for the benefit of humanity.” By offering a big cash prize for a specific accomplishment, the X Prize stimulates competition and excitement around some of the planet’s most important goals. Diamandis is also co-founder and chairman of Singularity University which runs Exponential Technologies Executive and Graduate Student Programs.

Diamandis’ background is in space exploration — before the X Prize, he ran a company that studied low-cost launching technologies and Zero-G which offers the public the chance to train like an astronaut and experience weightlessness. But though the X Prize’s first $10 million went to a space-themed challenge, Diamandis’ goal now is to extend the prize into health care, social policy, education and many other fields that could use a dose of competitive innovation.

Hello humanity and citizens of planet Earth.

We are Planetary Resources: The Asteroid Mining Company.

We’d love to introduce you to our team. Please watch the above video, as we invite you to meet our ambitious and multi-talented collaboration of individuals prepared to unite humanity with the cosmos.

While you watch, we want to share with you how asteroid mining will reignite society and change the world forever:

View larger image

We realize how unbelievable this may seem, and we like that. However, we have precious time. Right now we’re in the midst of one of the most audacious projects ever proposed for citizen science: a publicly funded (and operated) space telescope called ARKYD.

“Arakyd” Industries was originally a supplier of exploration droids, its most noteworthy achievement being the Viper probe droid model, which the Empire used to locate the Echo Base on the planet Hoth in Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back. The Viper model was based on the success of Galalloy Industries early probe droids – the first true probe droids to search planets and asteroids for valuable resources, such as metals to fuel the processing plants of industry. For Planetary Resources’ stealth use, “Arakyd Industries” became “Arkyd Astronautics.” It’s worth noting that by the time the Droids showed up in Star Wars, they had been militarized (under the direct supervision of Darth Vader). Is that geeky enough for you guys?

As of June 10th, 2013, this is where we’re at:

We hope you’re as excited as we are. This is a massive undertaking with mere political and financial speed bumps in the way. The technological capabilities are in place. This is not a matter of if, but when.

Assist in citizen science. Promote with us, ARKYD: The Space Telescope for Everyone.

Thank you for your time. We’d like to leave you with a word from a like-minded visionary, Jason Silva, who wishes to express to you the far-reaching implications of this project and our company’s vision for humanity. Ad astra per aspera.

Do not take our land for your dam: Stunning stand-off between Amazon Indian tribe and government in Brazil over hydroelectric water scheme

The Brazilian government is to send 110 soldiers to intervene in a land dispute between indigenous tribes claiming their ancestral territory and a local politician who owns the cattle ranch.

One member of the Terena tribe was killed in the row as police tried to evict the 200-strong group last week. The group reoccupied the farm on Friday and the dead man’s cousin was injured on Tuesday when he was shot by an unidentified attacker.

Two other tribe members are missing.

Troops are to arrive in the farm state of Mato Grosso do Sul to try to prevent more violence, officials said. Protests have now erupted across Brazil as tensions rise over farmland and the sites of hydroelectric dams in the Amazon.

Justice minister Jose Cardozo told reporters: ‘We must avoid radicalizing a situation that goes back a long way in Brazilian history.

‘We’re not going to put out the flames by throwing alcohol on the bonfire.’

About 2,000 Kaingang and Guarani Indians were blocking roads in Rio Grande do Sul state to protest the government’s decision to halt the handover of ancestral lands to indigenous communities, a concession to Brazil’s powerful farm lobby.

‘The government has abandoned us. [President Dilma Rousseff] isn’t supporting indigenous peoples,’ Indian chief Deoclides de Paula told Reuters by telephone from a blocked highway.

In Curitiba, the Parana state capital, 30 Kaingang Indians invaded the offices of the ruling Workers’ Party on Monday and only agreed to leave ten hours later when they were promised a meeting with Rousseff’s chief of staff, Gleisi Hoffmann.

Hoffmann, who will run for governor of Parana next year, said last month that the role of the government’s Indian affairs office, Funai, in land decisions would be restricted.

Cardozo stressed that Funai would continue to play a central role as the main institution that defends Indian rights, though others will be brought in to improve the process of deciding ancestral lands.

Brazil’s indigenous land policy, established in the country’s constitution, is considered one of the most progressive in the world, with about 13 per cent of the huge South American nation’s territory already set aside for Indians.

Farmers say Funai is trying to create reservations on land that has belonged to European-descended settlers for 150 years.

In another move to ease tensions with Brazil’s indigenous population, minister Gilberto Carvalho met Munduruku Indians flown to Brasilia on air force planes from the Tapajos, the only major river in the Amazon basin with no dams.

They want the government to shelve plans to build a dozen dams there, while the government hopes to finish work on the controversial Belo Monte dam on the Xingu River, a huge project aimed at feeding Brazil’s fast-growing demand for electricity. Talks were suspended after a day.

Last week Indians paralyzed work at one of three building sites at Belo Monte, which is slated to become the world’s third-largest dam, capable of producing 11,233 megawatts of electricity - equivalent to about 10 per cent of Brazil’s total current generating capacity.

Belo Monte is a pet project of the president but has become the target of international criticism by environmental groups.

It has also become a stage for Indians from other parts of the Amazon.

‘We went to see for ourselves what a hydroelectric dam is and we saw that it has nothing good in store for us,’ a Munduruku leader told Carvalho, adding that promised development had not benefited the Indians of the Xingu.

‘We saw Indians being humiliated and we do not want that for our region.’
