March 12, 1989: Sir Tim Berners-Lee submits his proposal to CERN for an information management system, which subsequently develops into the World Wide Web, the magic carpet. His boss at CERN at the time — Mark Sendall — labeled it the now classic understatement of the century: "Vague, but exciting."
Before there was the web, there was the internet — a.k.a. ARPANET. The first person to invent anything like a modern computer was British mathematician Charles Babbage, who spent the 1820s and ’30s day dreaming and developing the concept for a programming machine that contained the equivalent of a modern computer processing unit. About 110 years later, (see TimeLine) scientists finally built what would become the modern computer as we know it, and the first computer company, Electronic Control Company in 1946 that built the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer (ENIAC) at the University of Pennsylvania in 1945. In 1947 the company was incorporated and changed their name to Eckert–Mauchly Computer Corporation (EMCC) (March 1946 – 1950). In 1950, the company was sold to Remington Rand, which later merged with Sperry Corporation to become Sperry Rand, which later merged with Burroughs Corporation in 1986 forming what survives to this day as Unisys.
As everyone knows by now (I think), the Internet, however, comes to us not from a computer company but direct from the United States Cold War military strategy. One could say straight outta Manhattan project. In the 1960s, American intelligence officials were seeking ways to diversify their information caches, so that information would be easier to share among operatives, and so that if foreign agents managed to destroy one cache, they wouldn’t be destroying all of the military’s intel. At the time, the military organization ARPA, short for the Advanced Research Projects Agency, was a pioneer in computer innovation.
Note that video games had been around circa 1958. The first video game looked like this:
The very first portal, err I mean web address was info.cern.ch and it is still open.
Do you hear that dial-up modem ringing in your ears? That is the sound of inevitability... It is the sound of your death... Goodbye, Mr. Anderson.
Enjoy your travels on the magic carpet through an endless diamond sky and spooky dimensions.

On this the 22nd anniversary of the unveiling of the much ridiculed Terror Alert Chart. DHS secretary Tom Ridge unveiled the color-coded "Homeland Security Advisory System" aka the Terror Alert Chart. The chart was retired in 2011. You can watch the very boring C-SPAN video of the news conference. The FBI Counterintel operative comes on at about the 31:20 mark, talkin about how we (they) can get the public's anxiety level elevated and welcome the public's input on our wonderful color-coded chart (probably) created by a bunch of think-tank interns.

U.S. Government Seeks “Unified Vision of Unauthorized Movement”
Another border "Unity" initiative failure in the making, but we're gonna use AI this time and spend $6 billion tax-dollars over 10 years, potentially 14 years to complete which will bloom to $60 billion before realizing it doesn't work, just like the Israelis and we paid for that unity surveillance wall too. Yay, let's go!

They don't want you to know there's an adrenochrome shortage worldwide and the royals are looking like Emperor Palpatine. Lyndon LaRouche, where are you? We need you! LOL. Funny thing is back in my photoshop days I did alot experimentation using scanned magazine photos and scanning used to be an art in of itself. Good looking woman with beautiful kids to me.

Another Boeing coincidence just dropped...
Boeing whistleblower John Barnett found dead in US
According to NPR framing via his family sounds like just another sad case. On the flip-side if the Boeing whistleblower was really suicidal, he’d have just booked a flight and sit next to the door plug. Or just book a flight on Clinton Airlines.
Another coinkydink is Boeing's lead criminal attorney does happen to be the former deputy AG Mark Filip who was the highest official to explicitly sign off on Epstein's insane 2008 plea deal.
Blowing the Door Off Boeing’s ‘Epstein Deal’
The father of Boeing general counsel J. Michael Luttig (former United States federal judge) was shot twice in the head, in his car, in front of his wife, by a teenager back in 1994.
You might recall from a few years ago that it was J. Michael Luttig who bastardized the famous Tom Clancy novel quote by using it against Donald Trump in stating, "Trump is a clear and present danger to American democracy."
David Wolf is an embittered psychiatrist on the verge of an unimaginable journey. From one hundred decades in the future a woman called Silv arrives to seek David's help. One of Silv's murderous soldiers has traveled to the distant past of Napoleon's era and now has the power to manipulate the future. David and Silv must embark on an awesome quest to bring this man under control - before the very fabric of reality is torn to shreds.
His non-series novel Memories was nominated for a Philip K. Dick Award in 1987.
