In front of 40 board members, investment banker John Merriman got a radio-frequency ID tag implanted in his upper arm. This is an extension of military technology which allows downed pilots to be identified. It may also be inspired by ET technology.

Merriman’s implant contains his living will, so it can be read in case of emergency. VeriChip, the company that made the implant, says that in the near future, almost everyone will have an implanted ID. So far, only about 50 people in the US have one.

NASA has announced plans to put astronauts on the moon by 2018, and eventually use the moon as a way station for visiting other planets?especially Mars. Are we returning to the moon to secure the fantastically valuable Helium 3 fuel that is lying on the surface? Helium 3 is undoubtedly the reason that China is determined to go to the moon.

Leonard David writes in space.com reports that The New York Times has criticized the project as lacking “the pizzazz to inspire public support” and says it will be “operating under budget constraints that make delays or overruns likely.” The cost is estimated to be around $104 billion. Sherwood Boehlert (R, NY) says there is “no credible way” to accomplish this task unless the NASA is given a bigger budget than it has been promised. read more

There was a record loss of ice in the Arctic this summer, and climatologists are saying that the Earth may have passed the “tipping point” at which global warming is now inevitable. Hurricane Katrina is an example of this. While scientists don’t think global warming causes more hurricanes to form, they know that it DOES make the ones that do form much more violent.

The Arctic may have now reached an irreversible level of warming which means that more ice will melt in the future. In fact, the Arctic ice is melting so quickly that climate instability is inevitable. If (or when) the huge glaciers in Greenland melt, sea levels will rise and coastal cities will be engulfed.

Get ready for a permanent change in the weather.
