DOWNLOADS FROM THE STRATOSPHERE

According to the Kurzweil Accelerating Intelligence (link from the revered HCB) the free internet will shortly be drone based and the ultimately operating from space. Oh boy, to have lived so long.

"The Pirate Bay (TPB), which allows users to share media files via BitTorrent, plans to avoid shutdown by Hollywood by putting some of its servers in GPS controlled drones hovering over international waters, the TPB team told TorrentFreak. “With the development of GPS controlled drones, far-reaching cheap radio equipment and tiny new computers like the Raspberry Pi, we’re going to experiment with sending out some small drones that will float some kilometers up in the air,” TPB revealed in a blog post.

“This way our machines will have to be shot down with aeroplanes in order to shut down the system. A real act of war. With modern radio transmitters we can get over 100Mbps per node up to 50km away.” Looking ahead, The Pirate Bay team thinks the site may no longer be hosted on this planet. “When the time comes we will host in all parts of the galaxy, being true to our slogan of being the galaxy’s most resilient system. And all of the parts we’ll use to build that system on will be downloadable.”

…I CAN BARELY WAIT FOR RIDLEY SCOTT’S “PROMETHEUS”

Starring Charlize Theron, Noomi Rapace and Michael Fassbender, and to be released in June 2012, the film will focus on a mythology within the Alien universe. Set in the late-21st century, Prometheus will explore the advanced civilization of an extraterrestrial race responsible for the origins of modern humans on Earth, as well as the background of the xenomorph that made its first appearance in the 1979 film.

TURN YOUR RAYGUNS ON THE PROLETARTIAT!

“Although it’s wholly lacking in even capitalist logic impose further crushing and debilitating austerity on the masses and pass my ten million bonus, okay?” First it’s Greece, then Italy, Spain, Ireland, shit folks, we’re all, up for grabs, and meanwhile the military, ignoring the fact that they’ve got Staff Sergeants in Afghanistan going barking crazy postal and massacring women and kids, the Pentagon boffins are beavering away building bigger and better prole-control weapons to use on their own people when they inevitably turn surly. The next war may well be between the power and the people.  

“The U.S. military has unveiled its newest approach to crowd control, the Active Denial System, a heat ray that sends out a high-frequency electromagnetic ray. People hit with the ray feel an intense, unbearable heat.  The military touts the ray's "far-ranging" capabilities and is looking at "many different applications" for its possible use. Tracy Taffola said at the public unveiling of the system at a U.S. Marines base near Washington, D.C.: "You're not gonna see it, you're not gonna hear it, you're not gonna smell it: you're gonna feel it." In a video to demonstrate the new weapon, USFORCESTV explains that the heat ray "boasts a reach far beyond any other non-lethal system" -- a reach of "about 7 footballs fields." The video shows various volunteers quickly running away from the heat ray, a situation unlikely to be available when the ray is aimed at a large crowd or if protesters are penned in some way, as was witnessed by the pepper-spraying of Occupy protesters by police officers at very close range.” Click here for the video

THE PLANET DRIFTS TO RANDOM INSECT DOOM

Remember how our Uncle Bill Burroughs warned us?

CAPTAIN MARVEL – THE ONLY SUPERHERO BROUGHT DOWN BY LAWYERS.

And let’s not for get that Captain Marvel Jr. was the boyhood role model for Elvis Presley

“Captain Marvel was the most popular superhero of the 1940s, as his Captain Marvel Adventures comic book series sold more copies than Superman and other competing superhero books during the mid-1940s. Captain Marvel was also the first comic book superhero to be adapted to film, in a 1941 Republic Pictures serial titled Adventures of Captain Marvel. Fawcett ceased publishing Captain Marvel-related comics in 1953, due in part to a copyright infringement suit from DC Comics alleging that Captain Marvel was an illegal infringement of Superman.”
