Ring over the Equator
What satellite Ginga stumbled upon was an electromagnetic "mirror," a
ionized reflector for transmission of low-frequency beams, which was a part
of the Russian EMW arsenal. The electromagnetic technology has been used to
alter the climate in the Northern Hemisphere to lessen the economic cost of
Russia's severe winters. It is also used for advanced global communications,
for anti-missile defenses and to induce earthquakes. In other words, it is
extremely sophisticated and dangerous technology, wide open for abuse in the
wrong hands. A similar system was patented by Bernard Eastlund, former chief
of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, which forms the core of the U.S.
Navy's HAARP program in Alaska. (V2, the companion article provides an
overview on this technology.)
If this artificially ionized belt acts like a mirror, then electromagnetic
waves sent from ground stations in the Southern Hemisphere would be
reflected back to a roughly equal longitude and a roughly equidistant
latitude in the Northern Hemisphere, and vice versa. For example, to change
the weather patterns on the steppes of Kazaldistan (Nikita Khruschev's
hare-brained scheme was to grow wheat there; after initial failures, it is
now one of the world's top breadbaskets, thanks to milder weather), one
would have to place a EM transmitter in the vicinity of French-controlled
Kerguelen Island, south of the Indian Ocean.
The ability to focus the EM waves, however, is the most technically
difficult problem, which can be solved by using two intersecting beams of
scalar energy to create an interference pattern, that is, a third standing
wave. This standing wave could be applied in different formats to create
various electromagnetic effects or to ionize the atmospheric gases to create
deadly plasma. This would account for a diversity of shapes and light
effects, that is, UFOs, seen by many thousands of observers around the world
that cannot be attributed to passing planes and other physical objects.
Since KAL 007 was ultimately downed by a EM pulse weapon, after it was
crippled by a small air-to-air rocket, Japanese scientists could conclude
that there is a major EMW station located on the Kamchatka Peninsula -- and
that was the real reason for the KAL 007 overflight. The point in the
Southern Hemisphere that corresponds to Kamchatka is South Australia, which
Kiyohide Hayakawa visited in vain (on a bogus uranium exploration mission)
on his second visit Down Under. Eventually, Hayakawa homed in on West
Australia, a location that would indicate he was in contact with an EM base
closer to Russia's Manchurian and Mongolian borders, or inside North Korea.
This scalar interferometer technology, reflected off the ionosphere mirror,
is presumably what Asahara meant by "star-reflector cannon."
Aum's EM Lab
As Ginga was gathering evidence on Russian atmospheric irradiation, a
graduate student at Osaka Prefectural University studied the data. One of
Japan's top X-ray astronomers, specializing in stellar X-ray emissions,
Hideo Murai was also a member of the yoga training institute that would
become Aum Shimikyo. His inquisitive mind, spirituality and desire to
protect humanity with science was backed by immense genius -- an IQ
reputedly higher than Einstein's.
Murai must have known that the mystery of an artificial radiation belt
around the Equator would have devastating consequences for humankind. But he
was enough of a scientist to know that to fight this sort of global madness,
one had to comprehend the underlying science. He was also a good technician.
His professor marveled at how Murai wrote software to crunch his
electromagnetic data inside a laptop computer.
Ginga's findings would confirm Murai's suspicions that influential
astrophysicists and nuclear physicists in the West were under the influence
of occultic ideas, as promoted by several fraternal orders. He accompanied
Shoko Asahara to the pyramids of Egypt in July 1987, and the Guru reassured
him that ancient psychic phenomena and electromagnetic technology were
inextricably linked. With his new understanding, Murai would eventually
develop the now infamous electro-studded head gear that calmed brain waves,
invent shields against EM weapons and would himself attempt to build the
ultimate weapon for the Final War.

the persistence of memory

the lugubrious game

why, why, why...

we ask again, why?

if artists forsake inspiration for the dollar

some can see an almost...it's mathematical,

it's exponential, something seems to be lost. but it is not lost:

it simply relocates:

goes to where it can breathe.  to where it can enjoy

natural exhalation and

inspiration...this is the identifying feature

of a million pop dispensers

and a million gray areas where something is almost happening

copies of copies of copies.

evolution is created.  there are ephiphanies

strange wonderments

creative intelligence, and the avant garde

is somewhere doing what it does

where it cannot be sabotaged by the envious. if only.

why, why why?  what a waste, if only...

we ask again and again, why.

futility, shouts envy,

the sworn envy of love,

inspiration and caring.

cataleptik's

mihoshi kuramitsu fan fiction is coming to kick everyone in the ass.  really, really HARD with a BOOT. it's just that way...there's nothing anyone can do about it!

the dirty trick of cataleptik's mihoshi fan fiction is that cat writes mihoshi as someone who pretends to be stupid all the time.

you have to be really really SMART to fool all those people into thinking that you are stupid, and still get that asshat Kagato, memory thieving mad scientist that he is, in the right place at the right time

so that macho sword kid can kayo him.

one thing that people don't understand about TENCHI UNIVERSE is that Kagato's secret power is: erase memory.  thus:  he was able to decieve EVERYONE -- i mean, well, you will have to read the stories, won't 'cha?

also, Only Ayeka knows Mihoshi's secret...that's fun too...

"Oh yes, she is a complete moron.  Right."

i will love him forever. am i a fool or what?

so much skill, so much beauty...no waste of energy,

just grace and fluid magic love emanating

in every direction, especially the one that counts.

i love him so much i forget where I begin. that's real love...

i know it is.

and he barely knows I am alive.

 Nakano-oeno-Oji and Nakatomino-Kamatari were planning to
defeat the Soga clan around 642.

In 645 they killed Sogano-Iruka who was the biggest power of the court,
and the next day they killed Sogano-Emishi, father of Iruka.
Nakano-oeno-Oji declared his uncle Emperor Kotoku and he himself became
crown prince. This era he called Taika.

The basic policy was proclaimed in January, 646. The four
articles were to abolish private possession of land and people, to
install local government, to give land to people, to establish a fixed
tax system. The purpose was to abolish the existing private land system
and to establish centralism based on common possession of land and
people.



This political reform was due to the fact that Japan had to enhance and
strengthen the power of the nation in order to catch up with the
contemporary international situation by adopting the advanced Chinese
legislation.



Accordingly, people of the lower class were released from tyranny and
were pleased. On the other hand, the fact that the political reform
destroyed clans means that temples lost their patron, as all temples
were privately established and managed in those days. For example,
maintenance cost of towers and pagodas, and money for food and clothing
which priests needed. Resolution of those problems must have been
seriously argued among people then. New central government thought that
to destroy temples would cause the drop of public cultural level, and
so compensated financial support to some influential temples. The
atmosphere to build national temples occurred at the same time, and
seemingly temples remarkably developed on this occasion.
