US DoD classified this 1954 film sci-fi to prompt public panic. https://youtu.be/v4URRp39XOo?si=n5DJVfBF65gtzXjvPre-Spock Leonard Nimoy used logic to analyze Them. https://youtu.be/yefPZQU8Y_M?si=gaE0tvTVNnMEB1tc
Oddly enough, a title will pop into my mind unexpectedly, like a child opts to be read, except now it wants to be written so I'll wonder what it's all about. Is it life beyond death or spacetime beyond 4D? Pliant polyamory beyond mediocre marriage or sane atheism beyond inane religion? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aft...
Boyo's a time collector, specifically good times. You could say forever & not be wrong. He knows he came via artificial moon, hibernating through its exoplanetary eons-long trek. In his Vimāna TARDIS into Apsu Sol's system, the 4 Rockies were idyllic at first, Tiamat by far the largest water giant & her sisters Lahmu (Mars), Lahamu (Venus) & Mummu (Mercury). "Tiamat is the Mesopotamian goddess associated with...
Near completion of his 60th Sar, Nah Jah prepared for the trek that would create his legacy. He wrapped up mundane affairs & equipped the zyvwux with all he'd need. Bittersweet parting with family, friends & colleagues was customary. At last all was done & departure drew nigh. His course laid in for a system at 2.64 parsecs he knew would be routine, quantum strangeness reactions run in a flux matrix to cancel...
May be deemed anti-Semitic by ADL. Here are some abbreviated key points of mostly hidden human history as best I've been able to glean. Recorded in ancient Sumerian cosmology, advanced extraterrestrial Anunnaki 'gods' came to Earth about half-a-million years ago for gold they could atomize to shield their wayward planet Nibiru's deteriorating atmosphere. To speed up mining operations, geneticists tweaked...
Inter-galactic spacetime is home to utterly bizarre quantum entities, far beyond Enterprise Captains Kirk and Picard's final frontier mission, "Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before." "This speech began every episode of the series excep...
Sci-fi may be deemed pseudo-science &or space gods religion. Northern days shortened as nights lingered & TikTok Old Timer sought new blasts in the past. The DMC DeLorean got its flux flushed & recapacitated in-shop so he checked the Web for temporal anomalies. https://memory-alph...
May be deemed CIA conspiracy. Lane indicated they had best leave the ring area for their hotel room in Building 39 on the surface. She decided it was best to send Alice home sooner than planned. That night Alice had trouble sleeping and got up to wander the compound, marveling at all she had experienced so far. In the square was a 2m tall bronze sculpture of Hindu Śiva Nataraja 'lord of dance'. "A special plaque next to the Shiva statue at CERN explains the significance of the metaphor of Shiva’s cosmic dance with severa...
May be deemed CIA conspiracy. Historians cite Socrates saying, "Wisdom begins in wonder." and Khalil Gibran saying, "Perplexity is the beginning of knowledge." "Know Thyself" predates them and was inscribed at Delphi. Alice Wunderkind grew up in an artificial community of scientists and engineers on the grounds of Los Alamos National Laboratory. Her grandfather worked there on the Manhat...
May be deemed CIA conspiracy &or anti-Semitic. Far from its roots with Lincoln and more recently Eisenhower, the elephantine party with an actor/shill for General Electric, a pair of Bonesman Bushes, and now Trump, apparently only knows how to play follow its fascist leader so it ought to change its name to Fox's Felon Followers. Other 'F's apply too, mostly insults and aspersions. Since 'F' is the 6th letter, 666 seems right. After all, Twitter Twerp:
May be deemed CIA conspiracy &or anti-Semitic. Why OZ? Maybe this video can help illumine our perspective.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--yHUwUzIi0 Ed Itorial shrugged off the first shadow he glimpsed scurrying over open ground to merge with those of trees and buildings. Reall...
May seem too steamy or sexy for some sensitive souls. The more I read what Tia Alexis wrote me, the more I take it seriously. I don't mean to minimize her playfulness, far from it, but this young lady's sincerity rips away my cynicism & makes me want to be a better me. I try to imagine myself in prison at 24 with a 67-year-old pen pal & just can't fathom it. Maybe it only works in a younger woman...
Chapter 6 If Thomas Edison was the 'Wizard of Menlo Park', then Nikola Tesla was the 'Magus of Manhattan' and 'Caesar of Colorado Springs'. His Tesla coil gave him a lasting 'mad scientist' reputation. Fittingly born during a dramatic lightning storm, his parents feared it might be a bad omen. Possibly suffering from OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder), his...
Chapter 4 With willpower and logic her twin foci, unfazed by calamity or fortune, and known covertly by coworkers at Barclays Bank as Black Madonna, She Rock, or Spook, Daphne Drake was no less a driving force of Nature. Not only were her ducks always in line, they were tagged and sorted by size, species, and color. Jokes circulated clandestinely that one d...
Chapter 2 Shaken by his experience, Travers resubmitted prior coordinates and used the wait to record his thoughts and feelings from the morbidity he had endured. Less than 2 hours later, he saw downtown Dallas. This time he made it his mission to comb the crowds for familiar faces. Richard Nixon spoke Thursday to American Bottlers of Carbon...
I am a wry sci-fi fan, puzzle maven & edgy pen on O'ahu.
