I guess I will just keep myself busy then. Thanks Paul. I was wondering how you were doing.

You know me and how I have reacted over Gerry Vassilatos and his book “Lost Scienceâ€

Thanks, Victoria, for hanging in there with me.

Actually, I think I just finished 72. I'm going to sit on it over the weekend, and make sure it dovetails with the beginning of 73. Then I've got some pictures to scan, a web page to lay out, etc.

So I think 72 should be online Monday, and 73 shortly thereafter. I guess I'll be taking a few days for Christmas (the prospect of Texas looming again..) and then I'm staying put until I see the words "The End."

But, then, I've said that before, haven't I?

shortly after?

Post by Victoria Steele »

Sounds great! So maybe 72 on Monday .... and 73 after? Does that mean Before your Christmas trip? Or after you get home? Whichever is great, just curious how much of a headstart you got on it. Just maybe? It will be ready to go before you leave on that Texas trip?

Alas Texas calls also. Would prefer that it was Tahiti ... Bora Bora .... no wait, thats in another lifespace. My partners family lives in Lebanon. Lets see .... I think this year Texas looks ..... better ......

I thought of Morgan actually the other day. Actually of the horse that Mr. Twigsnapper said that he matched him up with. A friend of mine has a boss who is also a marine biologist and that man is raising Alke Teke horses in Southwest Texas, somewhere near Alpine. And I wanted to ask Mr. Twigsnapper if thats the kind of horse that the " grey stud" was? Still getting over the strangeness of a Marine Biologist raising ancient Persian blooded horses .... but what else is new in this world to wonder about? Its getting to not even seem halfway strange.

over 12000

Post by Elizabeth Helen Drake »

I pay attention sometimes to the odd sort of way that these chapters seem to draw visitors and the Chapter 27 thread has now reached well over 12,000 visits (which is well beyond most of the others.)

Taking that lead I have reread the Chapter and then started to reread all of the comments on the thread for that Chapter. It really is an amazing response! A true "glitch" Dr. Brown might call it if it showed up on his recorders , so I thought I might mention that if anyone wants to do what I have been doing, sort of rumaging through the old history around this story.

viewtopic.php?t=110

If you are new to this post its really a fascinating discussion of the character of the forum, the history of Dr. Browns work and in a way, a look into the future.

I admit that when the holidays approach I look forward to the celebrations but at the same time I know I will miss the certain " forward motion" that this forum discussion seems to generate. Its almost as if I can see and feel the train station ahead and this wonderful train slowing to a stop for the holidays. It happens, and it should. We all have families and things to do. I sense the train will wait ... billowing steam ....( I like old fashioned trains, Mikado, you understand)

So I offer this Chapter 27 as something to look over when things go quiet. Mainly because, from the numbers of people already drawn to it, for some strange reason, that shows me that chapter will be be important in the future discussions, after the holidays.

Won't it be nice when we will all.... world wide .... be able to say to the producers of oil around the world..... " We need your oil as much as we need your sand". Thats a phrase I want to see used someday .. soon. Elizabeth

Paul,

The link on that last Chapter 72 just goes to the previous one! Chapter 71 So .... I think I will wait ..... or figure another route. Great Chapter and I have much to say but I want to make sure that I am in the right thread? Victoria

Paul,

I am new to the group and I just starting reading T. Townsend Brown's (TTB's) story just a short time ago. But I am fascinated by the story and this forum. I have many thoughts after I read Ch. 71.
"Our boy" was very much into what you have called "skip radar". In fact that is one of the reasons that he was in Florida in 1957. You may also find references to "cesium cloud" that was loosed in that and other areas.
"Skip radar" is actually called "tropospheric scatter" or "troposcatter" and was used in radar to for early detection of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs). Radar uses microwave frequencies which travel in straight lines but by bouncing the signal off the troposphere of the earth, radar can peer over the horizon. Wikipedia has a good article on it here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropospheric_scatter

I was first made aware of this technique in the late 1980s when we did an environmental survey at a former Air Force base in Niagara Falls. It was also a Nike missile base but the Rome Air Defense System (RADS) was using the facility for a troposcatter radar system to detect missiles coming over from Canada. I thinks RADS is now the Northeast Air Defense Sector (NEADS), which is a component of the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) located at what used to be Griffiss Air Force Base in Rome, New York. Once satellites became more common, the troposcatter radar was not as useful.

Now the cesium subject. Paul, you mentioned cesium in Farnsworth's story about the television. Farnsworth used it in his picture tubes. Now the plasma display could be used as an artificial cloud to bounce radar or radio signals off of it, much as astronomers bounce signals off meteor showers.

But maybe the tests with cesium was for another purpose. Project Bluebeam comes to mind: http://educate-yourself.org/cn/projectb ... ul05.shtml
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Blue_Beam
If this is true, the sky could act as a big television screen and an image could possibly be projected into the sky.

Now how would the cesium be introduced into the air? Simple - via airplanes! And this brings us into the talk of "chemtrails" which are foreign substances introduced into the air via airplanes.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemtrails
http://www.santacruzhousing.net/observer/20001112.htm
http://herballure.com/ubbthreads/showfl ... o=&fpart=1
http://www.carnicom.com/contrails.htm
http://www.carnicom.com/FibersNov2005.htm

Now isn't it interesting to note that barium titanate is in the chemtrails. Barium titanate was also mentioned previously in your story tied to improving the effects in a vacuum. I'm sure this is the similar effect that the thruster exhaust with the ionized gas did in the NASA tether experiment, and produced a plasma for which the charge could migrate.

The picture of TTB in Ch. 70 standing next to the GCHQ at Cheltenham, England reminded me of an early version of High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP). http://www.haarp.alaska.edu/
Who knows the real reason for HAARP but they also talk about "skip" on their "official" site: http://www.haarp.alaska.edu/haarp/prpEis.html

Now it could be entirely feasible that Dr. Brown's earlier research paved the way for HAARP to be built. But a transmitter capable of delivering up to 3.6 million Watts would make a helluva auroral borealis or for a projected image as described in Project Bluebeam that could be seen by all on the earth!

Now, as for the shortwave radio, I once read about an amateur radio operator that could predict earthquakes by listening to the 'ringing' of the sound on a shortwave radio. http://www.eham.net/articles/887?ehamsi ... 392d7f27bb
Although TTB may have been the shortwave radio to listen to nuclear tests as well if he was familiar with them.

Carrying this even further, electrical signals travel throughout the earth much faster than sound. There was a group of amateur scientists I was connected with in the past that actually monitored earthquakes by detecting these faint electrical signals as they pass through the earth. They could detect earthquakes faster than the seismologists and have been looking for patterns of building electrical signals prior to an actual quake. The detectors are a series of ground rods in the earth with a detector/amplifier system connected to the computer to detect faint variances in the earth's resistivity, thereby measuring the earth's conductance.

The Bible says there is "no new thing under the sun" and the earth's conductivity was studied by Nathan Stubblefield http://www.nathanstubblefield.com/ who communicated through the earth with a wireless telephone even before Nikola Tesla. Tesla is even in one of the photos of Stubblefield's demonstrations. Stubblefield also developed "earth batteries" but he probably wasn't the first to do so. Sand is made of quartz and is piezoelectric and this may be the reason why TTB was collecting different sands.

Well, I know this is a LOT to digest so I will leave for now.
I have to finish reading "the rest of the story". I will probably post some more, hopefully not as long! :wink:

Take care, and I hope this information is useful to someone out there...

welcome wagon!!!

Post by Elizabeth Helen Drake »

MagicBill,

Thank you so much for joining! You may have noticed by now that in past posts I usually present myself as sort of the forum welcome wagon with all of the bells and whistles of joy associated with hearing from another forum member. As Townsend Brown might have said with a certain amount of glee ...." Ah yes! Another Country heard from!"

So welcome! welcome and thank you for your last post. It generally takes us all awhile to absorb new material but its up there and I am sure that the other forum members will start looking at it and adding their thoughts. What this forum is all about and thank you so much for adding to the depth and texture of it!

and this is a fascinating thought

not forgetting these words

For many of his mis steps Gerry Vassilatos did manage to write something heartfelt and possibly quite true when writing of Dr. Brown he penned

"The nation which resurrects Browns research will rule the air and space. Dreams are never destroyed. They permeate and haunt societies whose leaders have rejected their materialization with a special vengeance all their own. Providence is kind to the dreamer. Visions come to the devoted heart."

I especially liked the " Providence is kind to the dreamer. Visions come to the devoted heart".

And, MagicBill. How odd to be mentioning a built in screen in the sky ... to be projected upon? Things that go ... blink in the night? James

Dear Elizabeth,
If this is true, the sky could act as a big television screen and an image could possibly be projected into the sky.
The cesium is what I remembered about the Farnsworth story and used in the picture tube. Cesium is also used as the "getter" to scavenge oxygen in vacuum tubes and is often the silver coating at the top of the vacuum tube. This metal is also used in photoelectric cells due to its ready emission of electrons. And finally, cesium has been used to reduce the radar signature of exhaust plumes in military aircraft. Since Brown was familiar with radar, maybe this is what the military was trying? One can only speculate but it seems logical.

But the connection with the barium titanate and chemtrails is what I was interested in. I have a pilot friend who poo-poos my thoughts on contrails but I have seen the wisps and constant haze. Although I do believe in contrails, I also know from thermodynamics that eventually they will dissipate and shouldn't "rain down" as I have seen. Even today, it is a "sunny" day and there is a haze across the sky. One can see faint lines of contrails but no clouds. It is much like the third photo of a "clear" day in the desert, except I'm in Maryland. http://www.carnicom.com/light1.htm

I think folks are learning about chemtrails and those that are doing it are making them harder to detect. And what better way to deliver these chemicals than to put it in the fuels for the airlines?

Some say cloudbusters can be used to disperse these chemtrails. For details on construction, you can go here: http://www.whale.to/b/cloudbuster1.html
But maybe a caution is in order before you build one: http://www.rense.com/general34/trev.htm

Well, back to the rabbit hole and the "rest of the story"...

I have not run across this. I know Cadmium Sulfide CaS is used but never ran across Cesium. Could you provide a source please?

Also, I remember the same being true with picture tubes and that Rare Earths were used. Could you likewise provide a link as to the use of Cesium in a CRT?

Just trying to fill in a few holes in my poor old brain.

Thanks in advance

The cesium and photoelectric effect came from Wikipedia. Look under cesium.

Wow! Talk about synchronicity!
I thought I had heard years ago about another use for cesium and I was right.

Cesium vapor has been used in a chamber and according to the article:
But in an experiment in Princeton, New Jersey, physicists sent a pulse of laser light through cesium vapor so quickly that it left the chamber before it had even finished entering.
Rather than quote a UFO site, I took this from CNN. Read about it here: http://archives.cnn.com/2000/TECH/space ... .light.ap/

Sounds vaguely familiar with that special Brown "tunnel diode", doesn't it?

Now this is quantum physics big time. But I was recently reading about "spintronics" which is the electron spin in an atom. Although mass may never reach the speed of light, the electrons are spinning faster and can exceed the speed of light. It is the spin and precession of the electrons that determine certain properties of atoms and materials. This spin can impress a magnetic moment to the atom and material and could be the reason behind electricity and gravity. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_%28physics%29

Edward Leedskalnin, creator of the Coral Castle, said back in 1945 that the current view of the electron was wrong. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Leedskalnin
http://www.leedskalnin.com/

Leedskalnin said there were counter rotating vortices. I have noticed a "twisted rope" type pattern with plasma in a plasma mug and believe I have witnessed the twin streams. http://www.high-techmagic.com/mug_tn.gif

Leedskalnin is also reported to have moved the large 20 ton blocks of his Coral Castle using a special generator he developed. He is also reported to have been “singing” to the stones. Other sites have theorized about antigravity and sound as well as also electricity and gravity. Apparently Leedskalnin may have used both.

Hope that gives some food for thought...

If you've never read it before, this is a great story on who REALLY invented the television.
Paul wrote this and that's where I remembered the cesium...

http://www.farnovision.com/chronicles/tfc-intro.html

or the PDF version here: http://www.farnovision.com/chronicles/T ... nicles.pdf

The first use of cesium was when they broke apart vacuum tubes to collect the "getter" which is the silver colored metal at the top of the vacuum tubes. The getter scavenges the oxygen and makes the tube longer by keeping the filament from oxidizing and burning out.

Later on, I believe special phosphors were used and now everything is going towards liquid crystal displays (LCDs) or plasma screen TVs. The old cathode ray tube is quickly becoming extinct!

Hope this helps!

It will do and thank you!

And yes, I have read the book and I remember studying a bit (required )about Farnsworth. I have often wondered if Richard Farnsworth was somehow related.

a quiet chapter

Post by Mark Culpepper »

rereading the Chapters " Missing Daddy" and especially #69 " How Fast a Fat Pony?" I am struck by what a wonderful quiet testament this is for the bond between father and daughter.

And I know that much of the sections here may come under the cutting room knife, but I caution against leaving too much of it behind Paul. This is really a special chapter. edit here ( I was referring especially to The Fat Pony Chapter. It goes so quietly along and then drops a bombshell on you I still have to read over sometimes to get straight in my head. Implications you know. Like a two ton brick.

I am suprised that "Chip" Williams hasn't spoken up yet regarding that strange dream that Linda had and then told him about . What does he think of the book so far. Any comment?

Because without his memory, of course ,and his ability to stand up and vouch for that strange happening this whole thing could be a figment of a young girls imagination? I ask that question just to be the devils helper here . Leaving some room for doubt is always wise.

Personally I believe it happened just the way that Morgan said it did and the way that Linda "dreamed " it. And I do believe that he above all people would know that it happened just that way.

And I wonder what that red headed captain of that ship was thinking as he watched that little girl pulling on her fathers sleeves and later when he got a chance to explain some things to her. Note ... she was scared ... but not too scared to ask pertinent questions. I don't believe that she has changed a whole lot! It was no dream Morgan said and I think that he was in a position to know.

early NICAP and quiet looking

Post by Linda Brown »

I have been quietly looking over some of the chapters recently too and reading the reactions from all of you. I was stopped by someones remark that Daddy looked " worried" in that photo of us standing together next to that canoe.

He does look sort of soulful, doesn't he? Wondering now what was going through his mind. He and I enjoyed our times together so much and it is odd to see that sort of expression on his face. He normally would smile and sort of cock his head to the side ....

This was the summer of the Potomac flood and you are right JDB that is the towpath between the canal and the river, flooded over where we were standing.

Just wish I knew more about what was going through his mind at that moment. This book has been a journey of discovery for me as much as it has been for all of you and there seems to be a new twist at every turn of the river! Linda
