Navy “UFO Patent” Documents Talk Of “Spacetime Modification Weapon

 The US Navy’s “UFO” patents sound like they were taken from a sci-fi novel.

The US Navy has filed patents for strange and obscure technologies. According to patents filed by the Navy, they are working on a compact fusion reactor capable of powering a city, an engine powered by “inertial mass reduction”, and a “hybrid aerospace-submarine vehicle”, as well as a patent for “quantum reality alteration”.

Called “UFO patents” these are not mere fantasies. The US Navy sponsors the construction of prototypes of some unusual technologies to prove they work.

Dr. Salvatore Cezar Pais is the man behind the patents. Pais has worked in various departments of the Navy, including the Aircraft Division of the Naval Air Force Center (NAVAIR/NAWCAD) and the Strategic Systems Program Division. It is responsible for developing submarine-launched Trident-class nuclear missile technology.

All patents build on each other, but they are based on what Pais called the “Pais effect”....<<<Read More>>>..

Restricting Jury Trials Will Undermine Free Speech, Lammy Warned

 Government plans to scrap jury trials for most crimes will undermine free speech, David Lammy has been warned, with research showing juries are twice as likely to acquit on free speech grounds. The Telegraph has the story.

Campaigners claim the Justice Secretary’s proposals will mean defendants who use free speech as a defence for ‘offensive’ language are less likely to be acquitted.

Research by the Free Speech Union (FSU) found defendants justifying their actions on the basis of free speech were almost twice as likely to be found not guilty in a crown court, where juries determine verdicts, as they were in magistrates’ courts, where there are no juries.

The research followed high-profile ‘hate speech’ cases such as that of Jamie Michael, a former Royal Marine. A jury took just 17 minutes to acquit him of stirring up racial hatred with a Facebook post urging people to exercise their democratic rights over illegal immigration following the Southport murders.

Lord Young, the Director of the FSU, said his organisation would be campaigning against Lammy’s plans. “Trial by jury is a bulwark of British liberty and if people charged with speech offences are denied that right, they’re more likely to be convicted,” he said.

In an attempt to tackle a record backlog of 80,000 cases, Lammy will on Tuesday use a Commons statement to set out the Government’s ‘once in a generation’ plans to scrap the right to jury trial for defendants facing offences likely to result in prison sentences of under five years.

Under the proposals, only defendants facing charges carrying a possible jail term of more than five years, such as murder, rape and other serious sexual offences, terrorism, manslaughter, GBH and possession of firearms, will be entitled to jury trials....<<<Read More>>>....

Mind-altering weapons emerging from the latest advances in neuroscience

 The idea of a weapon that can hijack the human brain, turning thoughts into weapons and emotions into ammunition, has long been the stuff of dystopian fiction. Yet, a growing chorus of scientists is raising the alarm that this chilling prospect is inching closer to reality, moving from the pages of novels into the research labs of world powers. 

The very science that promises to heal conditions like PTSD and Alzheimer's is also unlocking the potential to create a new class of mind control weapons that target the core of human experience: perception, memory, and behavior. This dual-use nature of neuroscience presents a profound ethical and security dilemma, suggesting that the next major arms race may not be for physical territory, but for the contested landscape of the human mind itself. 

Examples of mass formation psychosis and group think hysteria are all around us now - making one wonder whether mind altering weapons are already being deployed using technologies that we barely understand....<<<Read More>>>...

Everything is Watching: A Field Guide to Everyday Surveillance Tech

 The problem is not just that we’re being tracked more than ever; it’s that everyone is actively paying for the surveillance. 

Video doorbell ownership in the US rose from 4% to over a 35% between 2017 and 2024. Smart TVs – which track and sell your viewing analytics – are now in 86% of homes, up from 47% a couple of years ago. 75% of cars shipped in 2024 were embedded with cellular modems, permanently streaming live data about drivers and passengers. 

The average online household in the US has a staggering 17 connected devices. And the data-broker market – the industry buying and selling your personal information – will soon reach $500 billion annually. 

We have more eyes on us than at any point in history, more people analysing our every move, and a lot of questionable legality about it all. Here’s how your connected devices are creating a whole new industry worth hundreds of billions of dollars. ...<<<Read More>>>...
