The Pensions time bomb is potentially avoidable with the introduction Basic Income Guarantee

Pension queue heroes -
How to meet minimise the 'black hole' is a supposed time bomb problem

Supposedly we are all living longer these days as the official figures hype, but I'm not sharing that view.

Look at any 1970's tv programs and one thing you'll notice is how slim the people were then. Today, it is almost the opposite, it seems the norm now that so many 'lard arses' are now on display and clogging up the NHS and using this to become signed off from working  on disability benefits.

The knock-on effect of obesity is that these people are unlikely to make old bones, but the problem should be addressed far earlier than it often is. Which may be good news for pension fund holders if the status quo pervades. They won't have to pay out on clients who snuff it before retiring.

Your contributions in taxes are what largely pays your benefits
It is YOUR money being paid back to you. It is not the Governments in the main.

So, where does your Pension or Benefit payment come from? You. Yes You.

You've paid for it through National Insurance contributions, income tax, VAT, car tax and any other number of means over many years.

So why is there this supposed 'Pensions Time bomb'? True, generations born in the 1920's have lived to a ripe old age in some cases and we now see the most centenarians in our population ever, but the reality is that for tomorrow, we may see a different story.

As I have said earlier, health is the big issue in society today. Obesity of a size (no pun intended) not seen before means that life expectancy for some of our society will be greatly curtailed. Not only obesity but diabetes will also help cull the population and load the NHS.

Robotics and automation silently are claiming millions of human jobs
from our workplace year on year

So, this leaves us with this problem of paying for old age. Or is the problem just being hyped up? True that the 1920's generation which is now heading for the cemetery will be gone in fifteen years potentially.

This means the generation that fought in WW2 will have gone, long life expectancy and all. But what of the Roswell generation that came after? Those born in the war and soon after WW2?

Yes, these boomers are now hitting their 70's and in the past generations, their life expectancy was likely to average around 80 years old as a lifespan, but there were exceptions living past the 100 barrier. Will they live as long?

The subsequent generations have become less healthy through a combination of lifestyle, diet and working environment. Many people are no longer physically active at work, much of our work is desk based, not in manufacturing as it used to be.

Basic Income will provide a financial safety net

So, what is our answer to the alleged pensions pit? A surprisingly simple and affordable one.

The proposition has been talked about for many years and is called 'Basic Income,' 'Basic Income Payment,' or 'Basic Income Guarantee.'

Whatever you call it, it amounts to essentially the same thing. The state pays out a tax free 'living wage' level payment to anyone over 16 until the time you die. Now more than ever, this is the way forward, there is no alternative as robots take our work away.

Why should pensioners pay tax on money they may already have paid tax on? This is madness! BIG gives you your state money tax free.

Essentially to do this, we scrap the current DWP benefit system which is out of date, over burdensome, nasty and sanction based and in its place, we pay a flat rate out. Tax free.

The category is all that changes in the benefit. The categories are 16-18, employed, unemployed, sick/disabled, pensioner. Easy. One payment level. untick one box, tick another when their status changes.

The BIG payment for each person is anticipated to be more than the current pension rate. This will allow pensioners who have contributed to the wealth of this country to get back a pension at a decent level. They will have more money to save or spend and the spent money goes into the economy to help boost the economy, creating jobs and further wealth.

So why is this not being done?

I have no idea. Frankly, it so bleeding obvious, but then again we are dealing with government.

In America, the Social Security department costed Basic Income and it was found to be cheaper than the present system, so the financial argument is made.

So, I urge you, regardless of where you currently are in the employment or benefits scale, to sign petitions to get the government to introduce Basic Income at a viable level.

The world of work is moving to a situation where BOE Chief Mark Carney states that 15 million jobs will be lost to automation, the problem is we are well on our way to that situation.

Are you having a mid-life crisis? How to deal with moving forwards

Alert: You might just have hit the manopause!

A lot of people hit the 45 plus age range and suddenly notice things are different. It happens to both men and women.

Perhaps you have just hit a key part of your life or a change moment. Maybe your aspirations have changed, your lifestyle. There are a lot of subliminal changes that can manifest and as if by magic, suddenly an impact happens.

You might get the urge to try something new or
you might now have the money you never had earlier in your life.

The 40 plus band is the time when you are likely to hit the danger zone. That is when the children may have gone off to university or left home, you divorce, grow apart, lose the long term job and maybe just decide to relocate and enjoy life.

Some people may hit a patch of frustration, where they want to progress but have not been able to be motivated or to have the ability or perhaps the time.

Some may have had a family and put them first, indeed they may still have family but yet seem unfulfilled. Perhaps they are trying to do too much at once.

It could be worse, I bought a London Transport Routemaster -
now that's a real mid-life crisis!


Perhaps they have friends who are unencumbered with family or similar responsibilities, that can make some feel jealous. But they will win in the end, as they will have a future generation, unlike their childless friends who will only have each other, if they are lucky.

Our consumer driven lifestyle is certainly to blame for some problems. Aspirations to have, are things that drive people to over extend themselves and think they want them, only in hindsight for these people to feel unfulfilled.

The 'New Age' which borrows much from the American Indian heritage and culture, appeals to many who are either burned out or who have seen through the bullshit of modern life and all that entails.

Automation is now killing the jobs market - will you be next?

With automation making big inroads into our lives, it will come where many do not have jobs to go to and a Basic Income Guarantee will have to come into take up the slack and provide a safety net.

The time is coming to think about what you want to do to with your life in the later stages. I would say start to plan now because the rise of the robots is well and truly on its way. Tomorrow is all about what you want to do. So go and do it!

Back to the 1960's? Was life better then? Have we really progressed?

Cliff Richard and the Shadows round 1962
usually hogging the top of the charts 

1962 seemed to be for most in the UK, a year that finally seemed to affirm that the country was moving into the modern age. The whole country seemed to suddenly move from monochrome to technicolour.

The daring styling of the Ford Consul Capri 109E -
a departure from the tired old car designs -
adopting modern American styling and the '4 headlight' look

Britain seemed to be largely shaking off the memory of the grim days of WW2 and post war rationing. Computers had thanks to the efforts at Bletchley Park, evolved from the embryonic work of Tommy Flowers in his Dollis Hill development inner sanctum to become the stuff of legend, the Bletchley legend that would remain hidden in secrecy for many years after the end of WW2.

Lyons made more than Ice Cream -
It became one of the big post war computer makers
until American giant IBM got a foothold in the market

Bletchley made great strides in technology for the early electronic computer industry. With the advances in post war electronics, computers started to develop at a rapid pace. As an emerging technology, the sky seemed to be the limit. This era was later referred to as the 'white heat  of technology.' Britain led the way for a while, with Lyons foods developing their own business computer and companies like Ferranti, building on the post WW2 development of the previous decade to produce modern computers.
  
Tinplate robots mostly made in Japan captured the post WW2
forward thrust towards space, technology and the future

Since the dawn of time, man as a species long wanted to create an automaton in the image of himself. With the advances in electronics, this no longer seemed to be a pipe dream, but a future obtainable concept. We are only now coming to the time when the seamless 'singularity' between a human and computer may arrive. The so-called 'Turing test' that determines that state of not being able to know the difference is not far off.

Space was indeed our final frontier and the race was on to build craft that could go into space and explore it for the rewards that might be there, such as us establishing colonies off this planet and lead us to becoming a type 1 civilisation. The 60's became the decade of the space race.

1962 was a boom time. Almost anything you bought in the shops over here was British made, anything else was clearly marked 'Foreign.' There was still a puffed out chestedness that as we had with America won WW2 and settled the Nazi's hash that we could justifiably feel proud of ourselves.

Anything you bought was more likely to be British made. This boom in production led to many being employed in factories across the nation. Our industrialisation was a success story that would only be marred by the stupidity of the unions that would lead to many of the industries either ceasing or being hobbled by ridiculous rhetoric and operating practices.

Certainly life was a lot simpler then in the world of the emerging new technologies. Life was better, not much more than a generation back it had endured the 1930's depression, WW2 and post war rationing. Now it was free and going places.

There was almost more work than people to fill the jobs, money was about and disposable income too meant that no more were you just able to hope, you could now have. Hire purchase gave many the have now pay later consumer lust and for a small down payment the have it now generation were able to live beyond their means.  A different story now where automation is silently taking jobs and High Street shops are closing at the rate of 15 a day.

With the days of plenty in the 1960's, the days of austerity and saving up were largely over.

Modernity in the home meant that many women who now chose to work could enjoy labour saving devices that were unobtainable a few years earlier. It all seemed rather civilised back then.

In some ways life was very much less complicated in those early 1960 's years. In fact to look back it almost seemed utopian. But not every family was this model of modernity, many still lived in appalling squalor and poverty, clearly the consumer age had not reached to them yet.

The post war boom from 1956 really showed that anything was obtainable. For someone in their 20's, this was the time, the best time to be alive.

We may have progressed in technological terms but we seem to have lost so much more as a consequence.

Set me back to 1962.

Degrees of stupidity? Why British Policing does not need officers with degrees and Superintendents with no experience

Police raid -
you don't need a university degree to be able to put a door in

It was some years ago when I was in the job, that a colleague said why he had joined the Police service. That reason was that he had won a book as a prize at school called the Ladybird book of the Policeman.  



A book which is allegedly frowned upon by 'modern' forces!

At the time I joined, out of the 20 officers in my station, 2 had university degrees. Neither in law related subjects I might add.

The proposal that all new officers attain degrees is ridiculous and comes from sources that clearly have never walked the beat, a thing that is supposedly 'obsolete' we were told about 20 years ago and a 'luxury.'

In my view it is essential, not only for what you learn, the people you come across and also to prevent lard-arse obesity of the staff. Even when I was in the job there was 'we hardly see any Police around anymore' which is 'no Police anymore' in these lean days.

A 'mission statement' does that make you feel safer?

In around 1991 I was asked to join a working group project  for a couple of months to help with the transition of my old force from being a Constabulary to a 'Police' service - this entailed a change to all officers wearing white shirts, a 'mission statement' being put on new signage which probably cost a fortune after it was dreamed up by some image consultant.

Not to mention many other 'improvements' that cost a lot of money. Like the corporate identity project to have everyone wear the force crest on their uniform and equipping all customer facing staff with a uniform, force crested Filofaxes and more. Or the reported £80,000 wasted on changing the colour of the badges from red and blue to yellow and blue to make the 'less confrontational?' Yes, you  couldn't make it up. They made up some badges and then abandoned the project! I never saw an example of the badge.

Around this time, a management of staff change came into being. I recall when I joined in the late 1980's that I could often in a day shift, see up to 8 officers around the town I worked in. After these changes, sometimes I might see 3 during the day shift and on one occasion, it was a Sergeant in the patrol car and me on foot covering the whole town.

The 'luxury' of officers on the beat as the management would have it, was the core reason why Police were often on top of criminals and crime and were able to glean intelligence. Stop and search powers often got you a name and often someone going equipped to do a crime or carrying drugs. Most crime then was low rent and done to support a drugs habit.

 Local crime intelligence could often be gleaned from the local scrotes you stopped. You don't get that from a CCTV camera, because you often don't know who you're looking at if no one has stopped them and they don't have a mugshot on the system or a hoodie up so you can't see their face. These local patrols are the building blocks of local policing.

I have nothing against degrees, but the majority of officers I worked with did not have one and it did not make a difference. They were mostly on the beat because that is what they wanted to be doing. They weren't interested in management bullshit, they just wanted to get on with the job that they joined to do.

I remember a project to give 'generalisation' skills which saw many officers taken off the beat and put into jobs they did not want to have to do, or thought were best done by civilian staff. Sure enough, the force did civilianise some of these jobs, only later by cuts to police stations, did they end up doing away with the civilians they had employed. Well thought through that one.

Senior officers need to go through the ranks
which gives them the necessary experience -
most do start on the beat -
before eventually ending up at Bramshill drinking coffee
and telling each other how good they are

A recent plan to 'parachute' civilians into being uniformed Police Superintendents is frankly ludicrous. Senior Officers only learn the full spectrum of the job by going from being on the beat and having real policing experience. I would not want to be having to contain a public order situation, commanded by some ex-Supermarket manager with a possible degree in golf course management, without real world experience. 

I think it is foolhardy to allow a civilian 'manager' to just after say a few weeks of training, become essentially a divisional commander. It is not that you have a Superintendent in every station, just the divisional HQ station, so this is hardly a job saving.

Trend policing is just that, gimmicky and an industry in itself within the police service for the 'career politician' type of officer who is ambitious to 'get on.' Empire building within the police service is where people 'need more staff' to do the job, builds on this often gimmicky scenario. I have  often seen the meteoric rise of this type.

Especially the 'Hobby Bobby' that may have some expertise in something that they are able to wheedle their way into a working group to do. Little knowledge is a dangerous thing so they say.

There are officers that go from working group to working group, often at a nice, snug, out of the way Police Headquarters building, a world away from the reality of the streets having to deal with the usual local conveyor belt smeggers.

The old officers with experience were the best in my view, not some senior officer that looked about 12 years old on a good day.

The Police Community Support Officers -
A chance for two-tier policing that was wasted

The introduction of the Police Community Support Officers should have meant that this potential resource could have taken on much of the day to day beat policing, such as taking of statements and less operational based policing work but with greater powers than they ended up getting, to free up other staff for frontline operational work.

Likely, with respect to the PCSO proposal, the Police Federation laid down red lines that they would not accept as encroachment on their federated officer's duties. That is fair enough in principle, but the PCSO's have ended up as some sort of 'halfway house'. In the inception, many of their staff were recruited from within existing police staff as councils took over parking enforcement and the police forces were left with traffic wardens without portfolio, effectively redundant. So the PCSO role was a good side move for them.

There is no doubt in my mind, that having boots on the ground does bring results in the fight against crime. You cannot fight crime on the cheap. The PCSO role should have been more forcefully increased in functionality, because that is what is needed. With more and more cuts, their functionality should be increased, to effectively the level of a Special Constable.

Much of the work the police could do should be automated. With so much more computer integration and advancement that has happened since I was in the job, the service must be more automated. It is the future, but a future in which human involvement is also paramount in the process.

Basic Income Payments will take the place of paid work



If the government adopts a Basic Income Guarantee system as jobs disappear to automation and robots, many more people could volunteer to help out with the policing situation to help with the demand. From Patrols to staffing police stations.

Crime is not all cyber crime, although this is a new area of crime compared to twenty years ago. More police are needed full stop. They still need to deal with the realities of why most low rent crime is done, to feed drug habits.

Project Earth - Is a product of inteligent design, not evolutionary accident!

We did not just 'happen' -
Humans are an intervention species

Project Earth - When I was about twelve years old, I came to the conclusion that the planet seemed to be like some sort of unfinished project. It just didn't seem to make any sense.

Many species do not seem to have evolved past their original 'model.'
Except Cats - who rule humans, sometimes

Lets face it, most of the creatures on the planet are still doing their basic function. Humans still seem to be the only species that has developed and for instance, built industrialised and left the planet. Indeed, no other human like species has come along since us, so the question is why have we not evolved?

Human genetic material has been modified - we are an intervention species

So, looking at our developments, how did we do it? We were helped. And that's the problem, no one in 'science' has actually been able to admit why humans are different.


Our second chromosomal pairs are fused -
this cannot be done by nature, only externally, by others.

Even with best will in the world, the theory that we just evolved from Ammonia and a few base chemicals into 'life' seems rather a thin theory, but about all science can offer.

We are a demonstration of intervention. We did not just come down from the trees and start walking upright. Sadly, some scientists seem to think we did. But all the science is wrong.

The late Lloyd Pye - proponent of the intervention theory

Check out the late Lloyd Pye's work on the intervention in the human species, you may find his alternative science more credible than the usual story.

The continuing great anthropology con?

This is the truth that Anthropologists cannot hide
but sometimes suppress

A relative of mine has recently started to study anthropology at University. I thought I would see if any of the 'truth' that we have uncovered in the underground interest movement has permeated to academia.

Sadly not.

Supposedly our line of evolution?

The mention of a 'missing link' and my knowledge of why there isn't one was met with 'they just haven't found it yet.'

The late Lloyd Pye, father of Intervention theory
- a man as important as Darwin? Likely more so.

This is saddening. We have numerous examples of what the 'truth' really is, but they are either being deliberately obfuscated by those in charge to cover up shortcomings or where the real truth lies.  

Also for religious reasons, history is altered, suppressed or denied. This is not progress. This is crass stupidity and only putting off in the long run what we will eventually uncover.

Humans are changing and hopefully more of us are realising that the math doesn't add up.

Stop treating us like children.

The genius of The Sweeney

Dennis Waterman and John Thaw in the Sweeney
Having nicked a gang of hardcore slags enjoy a post-pagga Players No6

In 1974, the television portrayal of the Police took a new turn. Gone were the cosy days of Z Cars and Dixon of Dock Green, BBC TV's stalwarts of tea-time level television and suitable for all. The era of bumbling Bobbies on the beat pushing bicycles was on the verge of becoming all over, lost in soft focus nostalgia and wouldn't be revived until the Heartbeat series of the mid 1980's.


ITV's Armchair Cinema productions in 1973, spawned 'Regan' -
the prototype of what would become 'The Sweeney.'


In came something new, more exciting, grittier and hard edged. The Sweeney.

The Sweeney evolved from an Ian Kennedy-Martin script called 'Regan,' a 90 minute ITV Armchair Cinema episode screened in 1973, that starred John Thaw as 'Regan', A Detective Inspector of the Metropolitan Police Flying Squad.

What is interesting to observe, is that if you stand back from it and analyse it, that the acting is superb as is the production. It is pretty much a seamless transition, when you compare it to the later 'Sweeney' series made from 1974-1978. It is like they walked off the 'Regan' set and on to the 'Sweeney' set.

That they got so much of Regan 'right' is testament to the quality of the actors as well as the script. This was the golden era of British television and with directors like Ted Childs used on the episodes. Ted Childs would later go on to the Morse series also starting John Thaw.

Having worked with the real Squad a couple of times when I was in the Police service, I can say that they are a different breed of officer. John Thaw's portrayal of a Flying Squad DI additionally far removed from that of the well dressed senior Detective,say someone such as Len 'Nipper' Reed of the Krays era, from only a few years back from the 70's.

Of course Len Reed was factual, whilst Regan was a representation, but likely drawn from the actors observing the real thing at hand. The service did need a good news story as there was a major anti-corruption drive in the early 1970's which often made headlines, for the wrong reasons.

The Flying Squad Ford Consul -
frequently driven hard in pursuit of the Scrotes

It wasn't just the suits that were different, it was the cars. Gone was the softly, softly approach of the Ford Anglia or Morris Minor Panda car, more a grab the collar unmarked 2 litre Ford Granada. The cars were driven hard, the chases more dangerous and often the outcomes were often not good.

Jack Warner as Sgt George Dixon -  a world away from the Sweeney

But this was a reflection of the way that things were in reality. This wasn't the cosy and chummy George Dixon world, this was the world of hardcore slags who often used weapons and drove to get away at any cost.

Hardcore Slags intercepted by the Sweeney

The era was notorious for armed robberies. With much cash carried to pay weekly wages, these were the days long before electronic banking was as widespread to the degree it is today. Any armoured (likely) Ford Transit van was therefore a Golden Goose, just waiting to be cornered by some hardcore slags, likely in a Mk2 Jaguar. Which was probably nicked.

There was more cash about in those days, bank notes were also destroyed after a set length of use and often these shipments for the incinerator were targeted by the armed blaggers of the day.

But going back to the series:

The Sweeney worked on a number of levels, a top quality cast that fitted together well, great acting, excellent script writing, exciting action, great camerawork, in fact every aspect was there. But, it was all done on a shoe string budget, with little flexibility for a take 2.

Often the episodes packed more into the first 5 minute 'taster' section than many progams did in 30 minutes. Each program sector was shot to provide a 15 minute or so window, between commercial breaks, as this series was shot for the ITV market, which was then Britain's only commercial TV station. Seems so long ago.

Jack Regan often came into conflict with his superiors

The Sweeney (and Regan) also showed something new, disrespect for authority in the job. Jack Regan was forever falling foul of his superiors and bending the rules to get results. The thing was that we were all on his side. We wanted him to rough up the blaggers, to nick them, to see the law was upheld. They didn't always win of course, like real life, but you know the types and they'll always come back for another go.

The series attracted some well known actors - like Diana Dors, here
and often gave the spotlight to then lesser known young actors, such as Ray Winstone

Hardcore action as in the episode 'thou shalt not kill'
one of the best episodes in my opinion

It was years later that I watched the Sweeney, as it was deemed 'unsuitable' when I was young and first shown. Funnily enough, a number of locations where I lived at the time of filming were often only a couple of streets away from where I was living or at school.

Indeed, when I was in the Police service years later, I had the job for about an hour to keep the traffic away from outside of a betting shop where ITV were filming a scene for Minder with Dennis Waterman, in about 1993 I recall. I felt like going up to him and saying 'You're nicked Sunbeam' for a joke, but he didn't look too happy, probably because it was chucking it down with rain, so I didn't.

Me doing some film extra work for television

The Sweeney has become a landmark of British television which also spawned two feature films. Looking back at some of the old episodes, we often see unknowns credited or not making appearances in the episodes, along side the seasoned actors, many of whom are now household names.

Although the Sweeney franchise finished in 1978, it could have done another season I feel. The acting was strong, the writing was consistently good, but perhaps John Thaw and others did not want to become typecast? Having been at it for four years of almost constant filming, I suppose we have to accept that they felt the series had come to its end.

We cannot go back and change that, but we do have a wealth of good episodes to watch. It is interesting to look at those old episodes and see how the world has changed, along with the fashions and the cars. Some of it is dated. Well, it all is really. But that gives it some nostalgic charm. Some may yearn for those uncomplicated days, some don't.

John Thaw later had a successful run as Inspector Morse
In this case, he drove a Mk2 Jaguar, rather than chased them

Post Sweeney, the big name actors had perhaps little trouble finding work in the post Sweeney years, the series has been repeated and likely continues to find appeal abroad. The quality of acting and the success of the episodes over 4 years guaranteed work and was a good line on the actor's CV.

Dennis Waterman went off to do the Minder series and other successful series mostly for ITV, John Thaw then starred in the legal drama Kavanagh QC, before his long run in the Inspector Morse series.

John Thaw played the Inspector Morse character differently to his Regan of the Sweeney days. Although, Morse still retains his ability to go off piste and ignore authority, frequently exasperating poor old Superintendent Strange in the process.

Sadly John Thaw succumbed to cancer, but the Morse series metamorphosed in to Lewis, with Morse's sidekick Kevin Whateley playing Sgt Lewis, promoted to Inspector Lewis and continuing the good work around Oxford.

Forty years on, the series still look good.

Beware of the Binary trading scams

Voting on Brexit trades is another current opportunity

Binary trading is not new, but beware that there are some corrupt companies out there looking to lure unsuspecting punters.

I investigated one company for a friend who had become involved.

Binary trading is betting on the outcome of a deal where you might win because of a currency fluctuation going your way. Like all gambling there is no guarantee of a win.

If you are in any doubt about an investment opportunity, in the first instance, do a cursory Google search on the company before you enter into any dialogue with them. See if there any forums where the company is complained about and add your own comments if you need to, especially about how they approached you.

So this company I looked at was based in the Caribbean, also it had no UK financial services accreditation and they wanted my friend to provide bank card details, utility bill and driving licence copies by email. I immediately did my  research on this company when I found this out.

I found that this company was about as bent as a dog's back leg. So I advised my contact to cancel his bank card. I also advised him to contact the City of London Police action fraud line to report the matter.

I told my client to say to this company if they called again that they must not try and take any money off him, citing the 7 day cooling off clause in UK law.  

It transpired however, that various attempts were made to take amounts totalling £14,000 from my contact. They were not successful. I did read that one person had been well and truly cleaned out and had lost £4k.

I told my client not to send the documents and the Police action fraud line also told him not to do so.

They rang my client when I was with him and I took the call, I told them that under UK contract law that the client had 7 days to change their mind.

They insisted on the document copies being sent so they could 'process' the cancellation, I told them they would under no circumstances get these and to not attempt to take any money because the Police were now involved, which held no ground for them as they made about 3 further attempts after this instruction.

With the documents and the bank details, the company could have sold these onto criminal gangs to exploit.

Whilst there are genuine companies out there, do your research.

The New Humans - since Roswell, has there been a re-engineering of the human species? The signs are there to support it

There are no shortage of dateable artefacts depicting space travellers -
which often pre-date human space travel by millennia

If you think that we were once chimpanzees that one day decided to walk upright, you're wrong. Totally. Even the anthropologists now can no longer be the apologists supporting this theory. Why is this?

Doing the Math - the genomes don't add up -
spread that across the billions of body cells that go to make us up
and the gap between Humans and Chimpanzees is massive

The reason is that we are very different from other living creatures - why is that? Well, consider that most creatures on this planet have not evolved beyond their basic purpose of existing. They have not created the technology we have nor have they left the planet.

Why do we have extra DNA that is not connected? Is that changing?

Part of the reason for this is because our brains are wired differently. This is because we are an intervention species. We were adapted by external beings to be what we are. We were essentially, genetically modified.

The late Lloyd Pye who devoted much of his life to determining humanity's true origins calls us an intervention species.

We can find thousands of references to unexplained phenomena in our world over time, recorded on rock carvings, cave paintings, as models, engravings and in art and written accounts.
An artists rendering of the Roswell craft crash in 1947

What we may know of as the 'classic' UFO  -  the silver disc shaped craft have been sighted by humans for thousands of years. But it is only in the last hundred that we have had reports of so many crashed ones and retrieval of their occupants. More so since 1945.

Boeing B29 Superfortresses - 
the type of aircraft that dropped the atomic bombs on Japan in 1945

Why is 1945 so important? It is the first time a nuclear explosion was made by humans, which happened in July 1945 in New Mexico, coincidentally an area where the Roswell UFO crashes happened in 1947, predated by others in that state.

A female suggested as being a possible Hybrid Human,
what do you think?

The coincidence cannot be dismissed easily, the fact is that the USAAF 509th Bomb Group that dropped the Atomic bombs in Japan was based in Roswell, New Mexico, the Manhattan project that completed the Atomic bombs was based in New Mexico and the captured German scientists from the V1 and V2 projects were taken to the area to work on the space program. So no coincidence, really.

The costly and unpopular Vietnam war roused the young to protest

Think about the new age. That time of around 1967-70 was the height of the first wave. It was around this time that the young people of America actively protested against a war. The first and second world and Korean wars never faced this sort of unease. Yet Vietnam, was different.

What reason could there be for that?

The American Indian people live by the 'Law of One.'
The 'New age' has borrowed from their culture, heavily.

So, where are we going with this? It cannot be another mere coincidence that 20 years after the Roswell Crash, that the New Age suddenly starts?

Human Genetics have always been hot rodded

When you compare the 'love and peace' outlook of the New Age, you can see where it draws from, from the culture of the American Indian peoples, their Law of One that they live by has all the basics there, so what is the connection?

The Pleiades for one. The American Indians, the Lakota people particularly believe they have connections to visitors from outside of our planet, it goes back thousands of years, some tribes believe their ancestors were brought here from other planets and some have connections to the fabled Atlantis.

Some of us are star seeds, seeded from other places and alone here,
waiting to decode our message and mission, some of us find it and fellow seeds

There surely can be no coincidence that this new awareness has occurred. The generation gaining maturity in mid 1960's America seemed to 'come from nowhere' in its rejection of the consumer society and stance on the Vietnam war.

It was easy for the white middle class elite to decry this way of thinking as 'un-American, commie rhetoric.' The problem was America was fearful of the Communist ways and did not want it to become normal there. Perhaps this was to do with the many corporations making millions of Dollars, unlike the state owned industries in the Soviet Communist bloc.

My feeling is that the Roswell pilgrims were the start of the new enlightenment. Look at the pointers, a world that had attained powered flight by 1903, space flight by 1960 and atomic power by 1945. 

We are being forward engineered by external forces, just as before

In terms of our industrial and technological evolution, we had advanced greatly. Look at the parallels, if a stone age man found a biplane, he could not likely care for it or fly it like we can today, but if we found a crashed UFO, we could likely get it flying, as we have done at Area 51.

Through modification of our DNA we are evolving as a species

The Law of One directs that resources and care for our planet is paramount, the Indian tribes follow this direction too. This is also the teaching of those from outside of our planet and has been related countless times by human contactees with aliens. 

Nibirians who as the Anunnaki of ancient Sumerian times,
produced us from modified primate material

The Hopi phrase 'Anu Nakki' means 'Ant friends' a group of off planet astronauts who saved the tribe by taking them under ground when a disaster struck millennia ago.

We are as the American Indians know are 'all connected.' They knew that the genetic building blocks of living things were connected, thousands of years before the modern scientists of today have made this discovery. Their knowledge was not guesswork, it was seeded by the ancient astronauts.

Some of us believe we are part of a hybridisation plan

When did you last meet an alien? Probably recently. There are around us human hybrids that look human but are not. I have met three Insectoid human hybrids, they are intelligent, lightly built and the ones I encountered almost the same version just different ages, they looked very similar facially. So how do you spot them?

They look like ordinary humans, but they are 'too perfect.' The give away, if you are not psychic and able to get the bounce off them, is that their hair often looks slightly artificial, their skin is perfect, their eyes are also not quite the same looking, very deep as though they are an adapted unit that serves more than just viewing on this plane.

it was a subliminal swipe at Communism not
necessarily completely about Alien Invaders

We have also seen jumps in intelligence in some people.  Conditions like ADHD and Aspergers perhaps are mutational situations where the human brain is being evolved to a different level and the transition is requiring more remapping than can be done easily.

Sometimes I encounter people who are obviously different, I do have psychic ability and can 'read' people before I speak to them. I can go out in a city that is nearby and I can spot the hybrids. They pick me up too, I get glances from them, for no reason I can think of. I look ordinary, I don't stand out by the clothes I wear, so why look at me in a crowd of others? The reason is because they get my vibe.

It might be the prerogative of some in power to deny the existence of hybrids, people from other places and UFO's but these all exist and I and many others have encountered all these and other phenomena.

There were multiple observers of this craft which landed in the middle of
a housing estate in Bexley Heath in the UK in the 1950s.

Should you be scared of all this? No.

If these beings can come to this planet, from outside in craft way beyond or knowledge, then modify genetically material on our planet to form something 'in their own image' then the realisation is that they could easily have taken over here a long, long time ago. Yet they chose not to.

Perhaps they are investing for the future, by crating us they have made themselves a Type 1 civilisation.

We too face a new situation like this, we are about to create and unleash a wave of humanoid robots on this planet, we are in effect about to do the same as our star ancestors.   

Like them, we are unleashing something that may grow into a warlike and destructive adjunct of themselves.

But we have an opportunity to engineer this out. We must.
