45 years ago tonight, the first episode of Douglas Adams’s wildly original radio series "The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy" was first broadcast on BBC 4 in the UK. The first US broadcast was on NPR Playhouse on June 7, 1981.



Yep, the entire enterprise began as an improbable science fiction-comedy radio play, before it was adapted into a series of books, a TV series, and, much later, a movie (sadly, Adams died unexpectedly at 49 in May 2001). You can listen to it here: Radio Nouspace

“There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.

There is another theory which states that this has already happened.”




50th anniversary observance for THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN TV movie and the OWEN MARSHALL episode with OJ Simpson. Both aired on ABC on March 7, 1973.




March 8, 1983: President Ronald Reagan's "Evil Empire" speech. Elizabeth & Philip Jennings reacted to the speech in the appropriately titled THE AMERICANS episode "March 8, 1983," FX, S3:E13, 4/22/15.

Watch the whole speech here: "Evil Empire" Speech by President Reagan - Address to the National Association of Evangelicals:  




The Wall Street hall monitor boys are predicting a major a crash in the next 60-90 days.

Meanwhile...

The Swiss National Bank has reported an annual loss of $141.54 billion

Previously, the Swiss National Bank lost $148.4 billion (142.2 billion Swiss francs) since the start of 2022. The central bank's foreign investments dropped in value amid rising interest rates and a stronger Swiss franc.

This is the largest loss the bank sustained in 115 years. However, it doesn't face bankruptcy due to its ability to print money.

The central bank lost $147.3 billion (141 billion Swiss francs) on its foreign currency positions, and $1.1 billion (1.1 billion Swiss francs) was lost in Gold holdings.

Between Swiss gold in the Alps & their bank of Lucifer (UBS) they will make the world feel the pain.

GTFO...!!!

I had a sudden flashback on an official admission on hard asset mind-control technology that is coming...already here and being used...

Mindblowing: advances in brain tech spur push for 'neuro-rights'

The South American nation Chile is aiming to be the world's first to legally protect citizens' "neuro-rights," with lawmakers expected to pass a constitutional reform blocking technology that seeks to "increase, diminish or disturb" people's mental integrity without their consent.

"If this technology manages to read (your mind), before even you're aware of what you're thinking," he told AFP, "it could write emotions into your brain: life stories that aren't yours and that your brain won't be able to distinguish whether they were yours or the product of designers."

The Chilean bill contains four main fields of legislation: guarding the human mind's data, or neuro-data; fixing limits to the neuro-technology of reading and especially writing in brains; setting an equitable distribution and access to these technologies; and putting limits on neuro-algorithms.

The science has opened the possibility of designing hybrid humans with artificially enhanced cognitive abilities.

Good thing I archived that story as Yahooligans deleted it.

"setting an equitable distribution and access to these technologies" - an admission such technology already exists and widely used 2) it's  subtle signalling to start developing defensive technologies. I can see within 10 years (maybe less) there will be a public response to it causing a new 'tin foil hat' market for protection devices. Crazy PKD 'Minority Report' times ahead.

Perhaps it is AI that is running the show...



Apparently the only person in the world that can see clearly. Sure, let's all move to New Zealand.
