Lindbergh’s Deranged Quest for Immortality
May 28th, 2008Life extension technology is a standard obsession with the elite. There has been an attempt to mainstream the nonsense through the activities of lunatics like Ray Kurzweil, who hopes to download his consciousness into a computer at some stage. Need I say more? Well, there’s a lot more. And, no, this isn’t a character analysis […]
Ex-Press Aide Writes That Bush Misled U.S. on Iraq
May 28th, 2008No jokes about the great revelations on Cryptogon today. I’m sorry for posting this.

IBM Building Metaverse
December 21st, 2007I like the Snow Crash world more than the tech. Stephenson got it right: grim burbclaves, corporate statelets, private armies, and toxic, polluted urban wastelands. Is it sci-fi or is it just outside your window? This Wikipedia description of the Snow Crash setting is pretty good: The story takes place in Los Angeles, in the […]
Changing Images of Man
December 11th, 2007If you have ever encountered wild eyed weirdos who talk about re-visioning the future, complete with new religions, etc., whether those people realize it or not, Changing Images of Man appears to be the blueprint for that brand of PSYOP.

The Plot to Seize the White House: The Shocking True Story of the Conspiracy to Overthrow FDR
November 23rd, 2007The fascist plot to overthrow the U.S. Government in the 1930s is definitely one They’d rather you forgot about, or, better yet, never heard of in the first place.
