Super computer predicts human extinction

VIDEO: New US dinosaur that lived just before mass extinction revealed

.

Steve Quayle says God told him so.

Run! Wait, HOW? WHERE are we going to run to? We don't have spaceships (vimanas) to jettison ourselves off this world and go somewhere else.

Except maybe. "Science" claims to have just found a new planet that's better than Earth, more habitable, bigger, nicer, more water. So take that, Earth. We don't need your stinking dirt and life sustaining H20 after all.

But if we did all have our very own Jetsons' space-cars, WHY should we run? Here's WHY: A supercomputer simulation just predicted when humans will go extinct. Wait a minute, WHEN? WHEN does the all-knowing Supercomputer say we will go extinct, and does that mean only Earthlings or does that include all the humanoids in our solar system and beyond? (Yes, they're out there, but that's a different subject altogether).

A supercomputer simulation just predicted when humans will go extinct

One day, the world will end, or so they say. When that happens, the Sun will essentially explode outward, destroying many of the planets around it as it "dies" to us and reaches another cycle of its life in another form.

But, before that happens, scientists say we can likely expect humanity's end to arrive. Climate change is, of course, an ongoing concern that many scientists and capitalists are trying to solve.

• [Hey, why don't we start a pollution credit market and let the magic of the marketplace solve it for us? Let's give corporations the right to pollute, and they'll sell those right-to-pollute credits until they become so expensive, they won't sell them, and all pollution will end as they go out of business? No, of course not. They'll just pollute with impunity and throw money at the problem. Our lungs could filter their bad air for them, and we won't get any pay off for our shortened lives.]

What we send up must come down to splat on us.

And they've come up with some really cool and impressive ideas -- including sending bubbles into space to help block solar radiation [or toxic heavy metal chemtrails into the atmosphere to rain down on us and block light in the meantime].

However, no solution has actually been put into play just yet [except for the chemtrails, massive forest fires, and volcano eruptions]. As a result, climate change continues to progress onward, threatening the melting of the ice caps, which would send hundreds of thousands of miles of shoreline under the ocean.

And according to a new simulation, humanity's end could come in as little as 250 million years if climate change continues the way it has. [Wow, think about it, we only have a quarter billion years as a species then it's lights out. Oh, great God of the sky, save us miserable slaves from thine wrath and those darn capitalists and their paid scientists who pollute our world!]

A study was published in Nature Geoscience detailing these findings, and it offers a unique insight into the future that could await humanity and hundreds of other species of mammals.

Fairytale wedding in Buddhist Bhutan (video)

NDTV, Nov. 6, 2011; Dhr. Seven, CC Liu, Ashley Wells (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

A fairytale wedding in Bhutan

Watch South Asia's version of the William and Kate wedding as the beloved monarch of the last Buddhist Himalayan kingdom in the world (Bhutan), King Jigme Khesar Namgyal Wangchuck, marries his bride, Jetsun Pema (not to be mistaken with the Dalai Lama's little sister, the elderly activist, author, and Central Tibetan Administration Cabinet Member Ama Jetsun Pema) in an ancient Buddhist ceremony at the country's most sacred monastery fortress.

The Dalai Lama's SISTER: Jetsun Pema

Amazon.com (Tibet My Story); Editors, Wisdom Quarterly

The current Dalai Lama has a little sister? Yes. Her name is Jetsun Pema (not to be mistaken for the young bride of the last king of Bhutan).

She was the first elected female minister of Tibet's government-in-exile, the Central Tibetan Administration. She also wrote at least one book, not a particularly good one according to one reviewer, but perhaps an important one.

Was it edited by the Dalai Lama's men, his CIA contacts, or a PR firm they've retained to keep the government in exile in good standing on the world stage during the atrocities of the Han Chinese government and their invasion, occupation, and genocide in Tibet?

The book, originally released in French as Tibet, mon histoire, is Tibet My Story. IReadThereforeIAm  rips it a new one.

• REVIEW: Disappointing (1.0 out of 5 stars)

(March 6, 2018) I bought this book as someone who greatly respects the Dalai Lama and has an interest in Tibetan Buddhism. So I'm sorry to give it a poor review, but I feel a reader should know what to expect.

Original: Tibet, mon histoire (Ramsay)

The book is written in a pedestrian manner -- not bad, not great. Of course, the story is what is important. Here there are many odd gaps: It feels like reading a term paper rather than a[n auto]biography because critical details are skipped over.

For example, I was reading through the story, and she [Pema Jetsun, the Dalai Lama's sister] goes to Switzerland to study and then to the UK and then she mentions in passing that she was married...what?! How did she get married? Whom did she marry? This is all completely ignored.

My sense is that the marriage didn't go well, and she just wants to write the guy out of her life [or perhaps it was edited it out by officials at the Dalai Lama's public relations office] -- but writing about it would both humanize her and add some drama. For despite being the Dalai Lama's sister, nothing much happens. [Sounds like the editing out of sensitive material to us.]

She is growing up outside the palace and sees him occasionally. She is sent to boarding school in India, where nothing dramatic happens except for a bad perm (yes she writes about her hairdo) then she gets to go to Switzerland and the UK and then her brother tells her to work at an orphanage where her innovation is nametags.

She gives many rants against the Chinese atrocities with no substantiation or details (which would be valuable to a scholar). Suddenly, however, she goes back to Tibet. What? How did that come about? And she mentions in one sentence she met the Panchen Lama! What?! What did he say? How was he? She says nothing about it.

She writes about screaming at the Chinese and being angry with them, which, while understandable, seems at odds with the idea of compassion and Tibetan Buddhism. In other words, all the Buddhist teachings go out the window, and she is just an angry, screaming person. (This is not my description but how I read that she describes herself in the chapter).

I feel the book lacks any scholarly substance, insight, critical details, understanding, or profundity, which one might assume based on her position.

She seems to me a shallow elitist [like the Han Chinese describe her brother, his followers, and the entrenched "Buddhist Vatican" in Potala Palace, Lhasa], benefiting from her connection to her brother [the current Dalai Lama] but only in the material sense.

The irony seems lost on her and makes for a disappointing read. 

GOOD REVIEWS

• 4.0 out of 5 stars 

Top Story

(Mr Tony London, April 21, 2014) I have been seeking this book prior to my meeting with and interview of the writer, for my own book, High Hopes: The History of Tibetan education in India 1959-2015. A great start and important background covered with clarity and told with genuine sense of passion and understanding by a key participant in HH's often misunderstood story.

Cry of a nation

• 5.0 out of 5 stars

(Gary Selikow, Jan. 5, 2008) Jetsun Pema is the younger sister of the Dalai Lama and has played a major part in the care and education of refugee Tibetan children.

This book tells the story of Jetsun Pema's childhood in Tibet before the ruthless Chinese Communist invasion of 1949 and her subsequent flight and education in India, Switzerland, and England.

It also tells of the oppression by the Chinese Communist occupation of Tibet and the genocide and cultural destruction of the Tibetan people in which 1,200,000 Tibetan men, women, and children have been ruthlessly exterminated by the Chinese Communists.

Atrocities
Children were forced to kill their parents and parents forced to applaud the execution of their children on pain of death, during thamzing (Chinese Communist public punishment sessions).

Very young children were forced to see their parents being dragged through the streets of the village or town and then beaten, stoned, and finally executed, simply because they had worked for the previous government or were heirs to landed property.

Millions of Chinese who have been brought into Tibet to demographically swamp the indigenous Tibetans.

Nuns were raped and monasteries and landmarks destroyed. Millions of Tibetan children have starved to death in the Chinese created famine and food taken from the Tibetans and transferred to the Chinese or exported to Arab countries.

This is all told in this book by Jetsun Pema. Pema also tells of her love for and education and care of the thousands of Tibetan children who have passed through SOS children's villages in India.

What results is a compassionate and passionate account by a great woman, and a cry for action on behalf of the Tibetan people before they are completely destroyed.

The world is clearly not listening, the international media and universities preferring to condemn Israel for [its atrocities in the name of] self-defence and the USA for [its imperialism in the name of a] war against terrorism, while [other] atrocities and genocide go on without a single word of protest.

Hard-core Communists in fact applaud these atrocities as they do atrocities and murder the world over. Nice people, [these Chinese Capitalist] Communists, aren't they?

• 5.0 out of 5 stars

Fascinating account of life in Tibet
(C. J. Cumming, Oct. 28, 1997) This book is more than a story of one life. It is the story of a whole nation and the struggles that it endured at the hands of the [majority Han] Chinese, which continue today. Jetsun Pema paints a wonderful picture of a complex people, in simple terms. I recommend [it] highly!


Wonderful

• 5.0 out of 5 stars

(March 19, 2008) I read the book in Spanish, and even though I am English, the real Pema came through. [She is] kindness itself and far too modest. I count myself proud to have known [her and to] count her a friend

Flying Cars Now on Sale + Levitation

CBCNews.ca (March 20, 2009)

A U.S. company has realized the longstanding fantasy of a flying car.

Terrafugia Inc.'s "roadable aircraft," named Transition, completed its first flight at Plattsburgh, N.Y., 3/18/09, the company said. "It’s what aviation enthusiasts have been striving for since 1918," CEO Carl Dietrich said in a news release.

The Terrafugia Transition seats two, drives regular speeds on roads and can do about 180 km/h in flight (Photo courtesy of Terrafugia).

But with an expected price tag of $194,000 US by the time the first one is delivered to a user in 2011, it's not likely to reach a mass market. The Transition is aimed at giving sport and private pilots convenient ground transportation.

According to the company, the two-seat vehicle can take off and land at smaller airports, and the pilot can convert it to a roadworthy vehicle by retracting the wings from inside the cockpit in less than 30 seconds. More>>

Personal flight is now also available. Here inventor is shown flying like Wonder Woman (2008).

Ancient India: Spacecraft and Levitation

Ancient India also advanced technology -- vimanas (spacecraft, flying machines) and levitation. Since the science for each was not preserved with tangible examples, it has been relegated to the annals of myth. Every world religion speaks of these things, yet it is more regarded as more sensible to utterly doubt such things could have possibly existed.

And although religious texts such as the Vedas document them and designate their origin as extraterrestrial, serious public discussion of them is a complete non-starter. That does not, however, preclude their discussion at manufacturing plants, university labs, and in various professors' garages.

The great Salt Flats are everyone's own Skunk Works for testing ideas handed down through the ages. Look up on a dark night and behold the Chariots of Fire, which can be communicated with using intention, lasers, and specific protocols (Ref: Dr. Brooks Alexander Agnew). Other nations (as well as our own in secret tests) have long taken these things seriously and have allocated millions to study their feasibility.

It only took The Jetsons (a hit 1960's cartoon series) to give the idea a life of its own, an idea already in the collective memory and carried again to fruition by modern engineers. Because whether you think you can, or think you can't, you're right.
