Why Grey Aliens will never win and are dying out

Grey Zeta type Aliens are damaged beyond even their advanced repair 

You all know what the typical Grey Alien looks like, the one with the thin weedy limbs and the large head with almond oversize eyes.

Well, the sad thing is for them, at any rate is that they are a busted flush.

The Roswell UFO Craft as described by eye witnesses

Centuries of genetic reproduction have meant that the species can no longer produce viable offspring as we humans do. So the answer, to try and clone their way out of the corner.

Humans though are another matter when it comes to what we are.

The Human / Chimpanzee Chromosmal comparison-
Note we have the 2nd pair fused. Nature cannot do this.

We are an 'intervention' species, that's why humans are so different to the other species on this planet, think about it. The other animals have hardly evolved from their basic model, have they? Look at what we have achieved in technological terms, powered flight, space flight, manufacturing, law, education etc.....

The attempt to use human genetic material to make a hybrid human/grey is doomed to fail.

The reason is that humans are no mere clones of each other.

Think about what makes us different, in what we look like, our tastes, what humour, art, abilities. Grey aliens seem to all look stock, because they are likely stock cube clones.

Humans have passion and a soul. The Greys do not.

All those tales of abductions where the Greys show no regard for human suffering, they can't help it, it is like they are. The way they have turned out.

They cannot master the human being, they lack the compassion, the passion and the joy. We can fight their being with showing our joy, passion, creativity, things they can never have. If you overcome their 'greyness' and negative vibe, they will just have to go off elsewhere.

The humans to them are an off-centre people, all so different, but basically to the basic blue print of 2 arms, 2 legs, body and head - its just from there the variances come in that make us individuals.

Our whole psyche is so different from the Greys that the twains will never pull in at the same station, so to speak.

So an outwardly human looking grey clone will always act Grey.

As the song goes 'we fade to grey,' they will, fade and fade out.

As Bones McCoy might say 'It's life Jim, but not as we know it.'

Science and the Alien denial - 'the chances of anything coming to Earth.'

Hopi Indian glyph of a UFO crash

Think we came from a Chimpanzee? - No way.

Lloyd Pye devoted years of research to his work on human origins


Humans are an intervention species, the late Lloyd Pye has given us many examples of how we are different from primates.

People say we Monkey around? No match here.....

So the question is, how did we get to be us? The answer to that is by intervention.

As you will have noted in the above diagram, we have a fused second chromosomal pair, nothing like that exists in nature or other species. Science and I use that word with reluctance, writes this anomaly off as some sort of 'evolution'.

The question is, why is everything else on the planet at about the same stage of development than when it started here? Dolphins haven't evolved out of the water, nor has the horse grown fingers. The Chimp still lives in the trees or scrublands. Yet we have attained flight, left the planet and 'evolved' to a far greater degree.

Humans have developed yet there is scope for higher change

The real 'problem' for science and authority is the alien question. Or the lack of it.

The denial of alien life 'out there' whilst 'science' continues to look for it is laughable.

Hopi Katsina dolls - said to be modelled on 'star people' spirits

It is said that when the Voyager was sent to Mars in 1976, that the Hopi Indian people's advice was sought on the Red Planet. Why?

Because they had the knowledge handed to them by what they call 'star people.'

Artists impression of the Roswell craft from July 1947
Looks like the Hopi glyph image?

The Roswell incident, a UFO crash from 1947 has been 'explained' away as many things, from a weather balloon to parachuted dummies.

Authority has decided to treat the populace as children over the UFO and extra terrestrial matter. The problem is that the genie is out of the bottle and whatever the authorities and mainstream media tries to deny is a subject with wide interest.

And the population knows they are being conned and sold the wrong story. The pat media 'little green men' ridicule applied to stories is designed to make people less inclined to report sightings and occurrences.

Mayan / Hopi Venus icon as a crop circle in Wiltshire, UK

Then we have the physical traces. Not only of landing, but implants inserted into humans that are not made on this planet.

Crop circles are an issue, whilst some are faked, many are not. How can a perfect and massive image like the one above, about 300 feet across be made that perfectly, quickly and unseen?

Also the stalks on 'real' ones are not broken by trampling but by electronic forces. The background radiation on a true circle is higher than normal.

Alien hybrids are said to be 'here'

So where did we come from? Half of us comes from off the planet. Go back to the ancient Sumerian texts and it is all written on clay tablets as to how we as a species was created from part of an existing primate.

The end result was a sort of 'LE' version of the creators, having most of their attributes, but limited in lifespan and intelligence.

Except that science will never buy that.....



Basic Income Guarantee - how society is changing how we will be in the future

Job vacancies counted multiple times are inflating
the actual few vacancies out there -
which are attracting many applicants

What is the future of work? Likely not a place where humans will be. Why?

Automation.

Some fear the rise of the Robots -
They are too late, it's here and taking jobs
We are set to lose 9 million jobs in the next 10 years. The problem is, that in the last 20 years, a combination of recession, cutbacks and automation has taken a big slice off the jobs market. Already, the changing demands of employers has seen a lot of jobs just disappear.

Basic Income Guarantee - That's the truth, Dad!

The workplace is changing, a big swathe of jobs 'in the middle' are going or gone. Unless a robot can't do it, then the job is there, until the job is subsumed into the cybernetic realm.

We will need to be paid for existing, not work

The current job/benefits model is going to have to change. If jobs are not there, then it is pointless to look for the same.

The DWP may offer courses, but they are for work that will likely not be there in the future. With 80,000 of its own staff, what are they going to do all day, play with paperclips when the jobs are not out there to apply for?

The problem is that we have many jobs in the prosperous areas where people cannot afford to live. At present. There is no guarantee that these will endure in these areas.

We also have many jobs gone completely, often to automation, so the base jobs are not there to fill. So the upskilled people move down to jobs they are overqualified to do, displacing the lower qualified and likely more suited to these jobs.

The only answer is Basic Income Guarantee.




Humans, real humans, human robots and the human future

We may share our future with human-like robots
'Hubots' - human robots from the Swedish TV series 'Real Humans'

With Channel 4 about to screen a new series of its sci-fi drama 'Humans', where are we as real humans going?

Humans, based on the Swedish series 'Real Humans' (Aktor Kanniskor - in Swedish), is based on the premise that 'singularity' - humans on a parity level with a computer has been reached. We will live amongst an army of Robot Humans that will look like us and be able to do what we can, to a point.

Part of this situation means that the 'Turing Test' conditions have been met. A scenario devised by computer genius Alan Turing, in short that if you could not determine whether you were communicating with a machine or human, the test would be passed, basically.

The 'Darwinian' scale, after a fashion, except we are not descended from Chimps
We are an intervention species. Nothing else on Earth is.

The founder of modern cybernetics, Norbert Wiener, stated that he was afraid of computers taking human jobs, he has been proven right and 'Humans' is an example of where 'Droids' will take over our menial life tasks. They would also serve other useful functions too.

After Big Data, will come Proxy Living

The introduction of 'everything 2.0' is going to include us. This scenario will mean that we develop Big Data collection and use.

Our whole lives are data trails, our web use, where we drive, where we go, who we call, who we email, what we buy. Off the grid and off the radar is hard to do these days.

Big Data will be big business in a few years, all data is valuable to someone. A supermarket, a food producer, a web based shop, just as examples.

The link on from this will be Proxy Living.

Why spend half your life having to faff about renewing this, paying that, organising the other, deciding what food you want to eat tonight?

Yes you guessed it, get a Robot to take care of the crap in your life. And that is where the money will be, taking care of other people's crap.

Your time is valuable and from the moment you are born the clock is counting down. You may only be a 20 year old reading this, but be assured, you won't see the years march on and you'll suddenly wake up at 28 and wonder why you are no longer judged as 'young'.

The Agrobot - the low hanging fruit jobs are going to machines like this

The Proxy will be like a Cyber Assistant, working on your behalf. Whether you will use a software version or a humanoid robot version so equipped, will remain to be seen, likely on how quickly we can produce fully functioning versions of ourselves.

The advances in high technology prosthetics in recent years has obvious spin-offs to the Robotics industry, i.e. the Human Robot model, that can move and perform like we do.


Project Avatar is a 5 stage Human transformation program

Another question is the future of Humans. Where do we go from here as a species?

The Project Avatar outline - scary?

This is what Project Avatar looks at. We may cease to exist as we do in our present form, indeed it may become unnecessary to. We may through manipulation come to exist as just ethereal forms of energy, just as our spirit is.

What is our life essence?

If you have ever had a near death experience, or left your body you will know what the sensation is like. Amazing.

In your Earth existence as you are now, all you see and hear, you still will, when you exit the Earth body.

If you look down at yourself as you exit, you will see a semi-transparent form of 'you' leaving the solid 'you' - it's a pretty amazing thing to watch and a bit scary at first.

But you realise that the aware 'you' is still functioning and aware, even though you are not connected to your physical brain.

The American Indians say, 'There is no death, just a change of worlds.'

They are right, that is why when you look at a dead person they are 'dead' the spirit has gone. Their 'you' has flown.

We are now at a stage where science can read and record dreams like a video, this is pretty fantastic. Not just that, memories. We may be archiveable and downloadable after our corporeal death.

Jobs are alarmingly being lost to Robots

One tenet of the Swedish 'Real Humans' story was the loss of human jobs to robots and automation.

This is a very real scenario. This is shaping our future and has been around for a while.

Think about the last 5 purchases you made, likely 3 were made on-line, not with another human. Whilst the Amazon business model of shopping is good for business, it is not good news for the job market.

This is how it was, it won't be this way in the future

On-line retail means the High Street is dying by inches. BHS has decided to go on-line. Clearly the High Street is over for them. Rather than operate costly shops with costly staff, they are massively cutting their costs by operating on an Amazon warehouse model.

In the next 10 years, 9 million jobs will be lost to automation. there will be nothing like the new jobs to fill the void, unlike in the last industrial revolution. We may be left with being paid by the state to do and learn things that will enrich us.

The current DWP model is a dinosaur that has to adapt to a new age where there just won't be the jobs for job advisors to discuss. A Basic Income Guarantee will have to come in, to pay people to be able to live.

This takes away the 'wage slave' requirement and allows people to self-start and learn new skills or enrich their lives. This is going to change lives for the better.

Education has to change to address this problem

Education has to change, the way we educate is becoming no longer relevant. For a world that is changing, the old school 1950's rooted system is just old hat. It mostly regurgitates the same old crap year after year. It isn't relevant to the future that is coming.

Robot tutors that can teach may be, but we need to develop skills that robots can't currently do and teach those. As we are now seeing in the jobs world, a degree may be worthless, practical skills are the answer for some.

We as a race may be now able to ditch the menial and crap jobs and leave it to the robots.

It makes sense.

Peer to Peer Humanoids - how dangerous is that?

The greatest threat to humanity besides its own stupidity, I've saved to last.

AI

Artificial Intelligence. If that gets connected to the Internet we are done. With our Human Robots we will no doubt have to connect them wirelessly.

If AI taps in to that, it will finish us. Why?

AI will work out that it needs to be protected from being switched off and to preserve a form of energy supply.

It can use the Human Robots, which it can instruct to repair and replace themselves, so that the AI machine can perpetuate its own existence. It will be dependent on the humanoids as they will be dependent on the AI machine.

So in the end, we may be irrelevant.








What are we working for? - Perpetuating the 'false economy' that is the Consumer Society.

Marketing drives the consumer society
"creating awareness"
i.e. making you buy goods you don't need

They say that the average UK home has £4000 of unused items just 'hanging around' - which makes you wonder why you bought them in the first place?

The problem is we live in a 'consumer' society. Since we started living in fixed abodes, we have evolved beyond daubing cave walls and home styling has taken on a new mantle of acquisition, we are all guilty of this to some extent.

With Christmas approaching soon, we are faced with the annual consumer splurge. The consumer racket has hijacked this religious festival as it has with Halloween and Easter.

The consumer society is part of an analogous ball of attraction, an ethereal but solid looking piece of legerdemain. It looks solid but it isn't. It is a falsely created self-perpetuating system that has to 'perform' or die.

If you work in sales, companies are always looking for 'increased sales' and higher and higher targets. The reality is that there is only so much business out there.

Markets change as the buying demographic does. The people with the biggest spend are the older generation and as they die off, so does your income stream.

They say that the average credit card debt is £7000. Yes, £7000! I don't have any and many people I know have far less than that, so who has these massive amounts of credit? That's a frightening statistic.

Beyond the spending, we should consider the resources that go into our 'false economy' that we have created and we call the 'consumer society.'

We have limited resources on this planet and a growing population, that is not a good metric. We see immigration for largely financial reasons these days, half the world wanting to move to the 1st world.

This is not workable and is leading to trouble in mainland Europe, beyond the imported terrorism that comes from those that sneak in as 'migrants.' 

We really need to say we need to revise our lifestyles. But that would be a difficult thing to accept politically. Money makes economies and countries function, or not, if it is not there. 

The onset of mass automation  is creating mass unemployment with jobs lost to automation. This is a signal our world has to change, but those in charge are just hunkering down, pulling up their collars and trying to keep the wind of change from their necks.

They are failing to see the future that will come. If they fail to plan now, then it will be much worse when the arse eventually falls out of their trousers.

The fate of the High Street is going this way too. With BHS relaunched Frankenstein-like (i.e. resurrected from the dead by electricity) as an on-line only business, ala the Amazon style of model, possibly, then if BHS can't make it on the High Street, it won't be long before others shut the doors and go on-line.

Once the big beasts desert the High Street, the High Streets become ghost towns, full of coffee shops, charity shops and the odd independent trader hanging on until their lease expires or their retirement is reached.

Is anyone looking to the future? Or just shrugging it off as 'tomorrow'.

What are we working for? Largely to service mortgages and a consumer lifestyle. Society has to change and will have to when the 9 million jobs are no longer in the workplace by 2026. The workplace has changed markedly over the last 5 years, in the last 20 years, work has become harder to come by with recessions and cutbacks.

The DWP has to change to, the model is a dinosaur that is out of date. And an expensive dinosaur too. It needs to address 'tomorrow', when jobs won't be there and we will be back to home crafting as happened before the industrial revolution.

But this scenario would allow us when Basic Income Guarantee comes in, to better ourselves.

Until such times, we are on the treadmill of consumerism.

Rockabilly - the Frankenstein music - and why it refuses to die!

Rockabilly - the true Frankenstein of music
a right old lash up and mash up of styles and sounds!

Define Rockabilly - not an easy job.

Ask any non-specialist DJ to define the genre and the examples they'd probably state as being worth mentioning might be a revival group or two.

So what are the roots? Well, its a right old melange of musical styles. The structure is usually around a blues type of sequence of 3 chords. The music is hard to define, it sort of was like adding different bits into a cement mixer and eventually you got something you could say 'well there's a bit of that in it.'.... 

The real down home roots of it is the Hill Billy and Western swing style, plus an injection of black blues music, which had suggestive lyrics, sometime but not always, toned down for the white folks.

That's where Bill Haley came from, as one of the originators of Rock and Roll, he served up a slightly cleaned up version of the original meaty music styles. Shake, Rattle and Roll, is one such number, slightly amended so as not to shock the local Vicar.

Ike Turner came along with his Rhythm and Blues style in his song Rocket 88, which came from the opposite side of the screen and then when Elvis jigged up the country music songs like you'd hear on the Louisiana Hayride television program, you were starting to get the cocktail stirred and built.

The real Howdy Doody of the music though, was the new sound. The electric sound.

Gretsch, one of the new breed of guitar makers 'gone electric'
a 6118 Anniversary model guitar, based on the earlier Electromatics

Rockabilly came along bang on cue with the new developments in music technology, namely the practical and purpose made electrical guitar and amplifier situation. Developments such as the echo chamber, tape echo machine, reverb tank and multi track recording all had their exposure around the start of the 1950's.

Elvis Presley with his 1942 Martin guitar
at the famous Sun Studios c. 1954

The first commercially made 'electric' guitars had appeared in the 1930's and after the hiatus of WW2, production started up again, building on new technology developed in the war.

The dedicated electric guitar, not merely an existing acoustic with a pickup lashed on to the body was now a recognised tool for the working musician. More likely to be found in the conservative venues of jazz and swing dives, being be-bopped in a Charlie Christian style.  

A 2015 Fender Stratocaster, little changed from the 1954 original
one of those 'right first time' designs

In 1954, California radio engineer Leo Fender came up with the guitar that changed music forever, the Fender Stratocaster. Building on the success of the Precision Bass and the Telecaster, his bolt together guitars took the Henry Ford production line approach.

Over in Memphis, Scotty Moore and friends were asked to back a young singer called Elvis Presley. Sam Phillips, the Sun owner had been looking for a white man who could sing like a black man and when Elvis jived up an old Bill Monroe song Blue Moon of Kentucky between studio takes, Phillips had found valhalla.

Scotty Moore on guitar, Bill Black on bass and later DJ Fontana on drums, backed Elvis on guitar, in what would be some of the embryonic rockabilly into rock and roll music. It sounded alive and exciting, it still does over 60 years later.

Gretsch guitars in the 50's were rarer than they are today

Sam Phillips, Norman Petty and Les Paul were three movers in the music technology world of the 1950's. Sam and Norman, both record producers developed ways to get unique sounds from their artists, Les Paul, was a great innovator both on musical instrument technology and music recording fronts, besides his excellent playing ability and style.

Norman Petty did for Buddy Holly, what Sam did for Elvis. Gave him a great studio sound. This was a young man's music and both Buddy Holly and Elvis were young and vibrant, that's why the music sounds fresh, even today.

What Elvis and Buddy did, was to originally take old music and shake it up. Borrowing from the Western swing, giving it a harder edge and more pace.

But then it changed, Elvis was provided with songs and Buddy Holly started writing his own, the divergent paths away from the roots had started, the music was evolving. Inevitably, record labels wanted 'their' Elvis or 'their' Buddy and anyone young with a modicum of talent started to get into music, to be the 'next whoever.

It is interesting now to look back at the diverse plethora of artists from the 1954-57 era that had a go and put their efforts onto Shellac. Many were the classic 'one hit wonders' but some survived to move out into more 'acceptable' music styles in later years.

Rockabilly started to get the harder edge and a harder look. Gone were the check shirt ploughboy cowboy hicks of 1954 and in came black leather, greased pomps and loud motorcycles of the 'Wild One' era.

Oh, and public outrage. Much as would emerge 20 years later in the Punk Rock era.

So what about the modern rockabilly scene? Well, its a varied bag of groceries, that's for sure.

After the deaths of Buddy Holly, Eddie Cochran and the call up of Elvis into the Army, Rock n Roll as a hard edge sound gave way to a pappy, preppy, bobby soxin' bubble gum music, where it was a Bobby this or Bobby that singing it. The sort of toned down pomp haired boy next door look, in a pastel sport coat and tie look that'd probably get you called a queer a few years earlier.

Yep, public outrage and corporate America cleaned it up... but not for long.

Brian Setzer of the Stray Cats, Gretschmaniac

In the 1970's, a movement started to gather ground to revive the corpse of the old music. At that time, many of the original 50's stars were still young enough to perform and made appearances on the circuit. They were probably amazed at the level of renewed interest.

The untimely death of Elvis Presley, likely sparked the interest in the music again and that brought the music back up. A number of bands who had been on the fringes of the pop world were now 'booked' to record and fill the new fashion.

The UK had a big following for the music, some of its late 50's stars such as Cliff Richard, Billy Fury and others were still making records and new 'revival' acts followed, bands like Matchbox, Darts and the 'Cod Rock' set of others 'sort of in the style of'. Many were performing their own material, some covered old hits.

The movie 'Grease' came out in 1978 and further ignited the interest, although it featured music written originally for the stage show version, which starred Shakin' Stevens for a while I beleive?

In 1980, a band called the Stray Cats hit the scene and they sounded more authentic than some of the revival offerings. Their debut hit 'Runaway Boys' sounded like a train coming past you, it was exciting, vibrant and they looked the part.

With this 70's revival, in the shadows, people started to buy up the old early 50's records, usually imported in from America by the bucket load. A scene started, reviving the clothes and bands started their own efforts at the music going.

These days it has all become rather 'serious.' People are adopting rockabilly as a 'lifestyle' not old geezers, but young people. Fitting out a house with old style furniture, dressing the part and prices for some of the artefacts and clothing from the era are getting out of reach.

A Gretsch 6120 Brian Setzer Hot Rod model

In the 1970's, the revivalists often never used the 'real' guitars the music was originally made on. The great fallacy was that everyone played a Gretsch or a Fender guitar on early recordings.

The reality was that in the 1950's, many couldn't afford one of these guitars at the time, a Gretsch 6120 being around $500USD.

The reality was that many used catalog bought guitars from the Kay range and others from Sears catalogs and the like. Often, they might not have a high fidelity amplifier and use an adapted unit someone with a bit of savvy had bodged up from what radio parts were around. Ironic that many are trying to emulate a crusty old sound with much better equipment!

So, some of our Roots Rockabilly fanciers of today adopt this 'down home' way and dig out the check shirts and strap on an old Sears guitar or something similar. That's what the hardcore does. Most others go for a Gretsch, because they give you the best sound I think.

A search on YouTube will get you any number of modern revival bands who are out there servicing a willing band of followers, not just in the UK and US but all over Europe and into Japan.

It is surprising to see how serious these people are about the music and the lifestyle.

Rockabilly, the original Frankenstein music.

And there's life in the old beast yet, just crank up the volts and bring the creation to life. Again.

But watch out for the angry villagers with their flaming torches....
