"According to computer scientist Dr. Jacques Vallee,
|
|
information is now doubling every 18 months.
|
|
Nearly four billion years of evolution to get to the
|
|
first tool. Almost four _million_ years to arrive
|
|
at the information density of Rome in 1 AD. Only
|
|
one-and-a-half thousand years for information to
|
|
double and for the West to arrive at Leonardo, the
|
|
high point of the Renaissance and the dawning of
|
|
Protestantism. Two-and-a-half _centuries for the next
|
|
doubling, the rise of Industrialism, the birth of
|
|
democracy - ... - only six years for the doubling of
|
|
information between 1967 and 1973..."

SPY quoted the monthly journal:
|
|
_Medical Aspects of Human Sexuality_
|
|
|
|
"A psychiatrist in Manhattan wrote in about a patient who
|
|
was in the Army and wondered whether his sexual practices
|
|
made him "different" from other people: 'I like girls, and I
|
|
certainly enjoy sex with them, but...I like having sex with
|
|
guys, too...[And] from what I understand, the other guys in my
|
|
unit never had sex with anybody in their family. I used
|
|
to have sex with my mother, my father, and sisters and
|
|
brothers...And I used to have sex with some of the [farm]
|
|
animals.'
|
|
|
|
When the psychiatrist asked whether the soldier could
|
|
afford to get private professional help when he went back
|
|
to civilian life, the patient said, 'Doctor, that's a very
|
|
personal question.' Ba-dump?"

IRAQ - CIVILIAN DEATHS
|
|
AN IMPORTANT NEW
|
|
|
|
According to the Italian monthly magazine "PANORAMA DIFESA" (May
|
|
1992) specialized in military news, Mrs Elisabeth Osborne, an
|
|
American state administration employee, has been dismissed
|
|
because she has revealed unauthorized information about IRAQ
|
|
civilian deaths during the Gulf war. Mrs Elisabeth Osborne
|
|
is an employee of the White House(U.S.A.).It seems that 39,612
|
|
women and 32,195 children have been killed in that period.
|
|
The total figure of civilian Deaths is 158,000.

HIGH TIMES
|
|
You're recognized by many as one of the great
|
|
explorers of the 20th century. You've trekked
|
|
through the Amazonian jungles and soared through
|
|
the uncharted regions of the brain, but perhaps your
|
|
ultimate voyages lie in the future, when humanity
|
|
has mastered space technology and time travel.
|
|
What possibilities for travel in these two areas do you
|
|
foresee, and how do you think these new technologies
|
|
will affect the future evolution of the human species?
|
|
|
|
|
|
TERENCE MCKENNA
|
|
I suppose most people believe space travel is right around
|
|
the corner. I certainly hope so. I think we should all
|
|
learn Russian in anticipation of it, because apparently the US
|
|
government is incapable of sustaining a space program.
|
|
The time travel question is more interesting. Possibly
|
|
the world is experiencing a compression of technological
|
|
novelty that is going to lead to developments that are very
|
|
much like what we would imagine time travel to be.
|
|
We may be closing in on the ability to transmit information
|
|
forward into the future, and to create an informational
|
|
domain of communication between various points in time.
|
|
How this will be done is difficult to imagine, but things like
|
|
fractal mathematics, superconductiity, and
|
|
nanotechnology offer new and novel approaches to the
|
|
realization of these old dreams. We shouldn't assume time
|
|
travel is impossible simply because it hasn't been done.
|
|
There's plenty of latitude in the laws of quantum physics
|
|
to allow for moving information through time in various
|
|
ways. Apparently you can move information through time,
|
|
as long as you don't move it through time faster than light.

The black budget began its sharp ascent in the 1980s.
|
|
As the Pentagon's budget doubled, the secret budget
|
|
quadrupled to an estimated $36 billion a year. It financed
|
|
wonder weapons for World War III, billion-dollar nuclear
|
|
bombers, and space-based brains to win six-month
|
|
nuclear wars. And now in the 1990s, though the prospect
|
|
of nuclear Armageddon between the United States and
|
|
the Soviet Union has evaporated, the secret projects
|
|
grind on. Billions are still being spent covertly to
|
|
build nuclear bombers that can fly at eight times
|
|
the speed of sound, underground nuclear-war
|
|
command posts for the president and his peers,
|
|
nuclear-powered engines for Star Wars rockets,
|
|
and a hundred more highly classified military projects.
