📢VINYL UPDATE!!!📢 THE DEMONSTRATIVE PURCHASE FROM DAIS RECORDS It's been a long time / I shouldn't have left you / Without a Vinyl Update to step to... Actually, this vinyl record could be included in the May Vinyl Challenge earlier this year.  Day 14 of this year's #mayvinylchallenge was "Waited The Longest To Be Released | Delivered".  At the time, it was the #Sault record "Nine"... No longer. This winner of this title is now: 🔺️ Drab Majesty - The Demonstration [2017; 2022 Reissue] Ordered in March, this record made it's way to me in early September.  And as ways with Drab...twas worth the wait! Literally a movie for your ears (IYKYK), "The Demonstration" is a Gothic synthscape of wonder, melancholic musing, actions and aftermath of the doomsday cult, Heaven's Gate.  I won't go into the details of the tragic situation here, but the album focuses on this matter, with introspection and poetic analysis, set to a retrofuturistic soundcape.  A cult soundtrack for a cult situation. I even tried to go above and beyond with the decorations for the shoot.  Applaud my measly efforts!!

CONTACT NETWORK HISTORY PROJECT: CONTACTEES, SIGHTINGS AND THE CONSCIOUSNESS CONNECTION J. Burkes MD 2024

CONTACT NETWORK HISTORY PROJECT:

CONTACTEES, SIGHTINGS AND THE CONSCIOUSNESS CONNECTION

J. Burkes MD 2024

Preface:

**On July 28th, 2019, I addressed the MUFON International Symposium in Irvine California. I described a remarkable series of sightings my contact team had in a lecture titled, “Human Initiated Contact Experiences and the Consciousness Connection.”**

Thirty-two years ago, I took a walk on the wild side. I joined a group that had the audacity to go out at night and try to co-create contact experiences with the intelligence associated with the so-called UFO phenomenon. To my surprise and initial delight, we were immediately successful. During our first month of teamwork, we had several sightings while in the field.But stranger still was that these “Others that Experiencers now call ET” (TOTENCET) targeted us to have individual sightings under circumstances that were not associated with conducting the prescribed “contact protocols.” One senior member of team reported receiving the following telepathic communication while viewing a large glowing orb flying above her driveway, “You wanted to see us; well, here we are.”

**INTRODUCTION**

UFO contact teams like those in the CE-5 Initiative, and the Peruvian based group called Rahma facilitate contact experiences with combined programs of psychic/ spiritual training and active fieldwork. These groups emphasize the importance of mental connections between volunteer contact workers and UFO intelligences.

I organized a contact team in 1992 and for over five years served as a CE-5 Working Group Coordinator.

**HIGH STRANGENESS DEFINED**

As a contact team coordinator in Los Angeles, I had ample opportunities to observe unusual occurrences. One definition of “High Strangeness” is the inexplicable aspects including the synchronicity of events that occur before, during and after various Close Encounters with flying saucers or presumed ET beings.

By definition, one cannot fully explain the inexplicable, nevertheless one can endeavor to describe the inexplicable and, in the process, possibly gain insight into the mechanisms of contact.**INITIAL EXPECTATIONS WERE WAY OFF BASE**

My initial expectation after becoming CE-5 Working Group Coordinator in 1992 was that UFO sightings would occur as an exclusive function of fieldwork. I anticipated that as my team mastered the contact protocols, we would experience higher and higher levels of contact and that this would occur in a stepwise fashion.

To my surprise, however, as soon as our Working Group started to carry out field investigations, a few individuals started reporting personal sightings of UFOs. The witnesses to these sightings were members of the team, or as in one instance the physician wife of a CE-5 investigator. In her case, she became very interested in UFOs as the result of a daylight sighting of a metallic disc. She subsequently underwent formal training and joined our team.

**SIGHTINGS NOT DURING FIELDWORK BUT WHILE DRIVING HOME IN THE CAR**

These events transpired while the observers were driving home. It is important to note that the first series of sightings happened during the initial month following the workshop in August of 1992 that founded the LA CE-5 Working Group. Just two days after thedemonstration of fieldwork techniques, the first personal sighting occurred.

**INDIVIDUAL SIGHTING 1, Sept. 1, 1992**

Joseph Burkes MD: while driving home on the 405 Freeway South the Sepulveda Pass at approximately 11:30 PM, I had a sighting of an anomalous nocturnal light. It appeared over the highway as a brilliant blue-green light that silently flew by the witness in a northerly direction. It had a slight oscillating movement. At its closest approach, the light was less than 500 feet away. There was no discernible superstructure associated with the object. This impressed me because of the considerable amount of background illumination from city lights that should have made the shape of any conventional craft visible.

The sighting occurred immediately after I had carried out a vigorous defense of the CE-5 program to several prominent ufologists. They were rather skeptical of our program of staging human-initiated contact events.conscious decisions by intelligent and technologically sophisticated extraterrestrial beings that staged the encounters for teaching purposes.

**CONVENTIONAL WISDOM DOESN’T APPLY TO ALLEGED ALIENS**

I wondered whether the choice of individuals selected for the sightings, or perhaps other details had special significance. Michael Lindemann, a prominent student of non-human intelligence, has cautioned ufologists to never assume that they can think like an alien. In other words, we should not try to impose what passes as human “conventional wisdom” on beings that may have evolved on different star systems.

Such extraterrestrial civilizations would undoubtedly have entirely different cultures, different value systems, and different social organizations as compared to those of Earth. With such infinite possibilities, perhaps a technologically advanced civilization for purposes unknown to us might choose to communicate via outlandishly subtle means.

**AMAZINGLY CONGRUENT CHARACTERISTICS**

It should be remembered that approximately 10% of the US population claim to have had a sighting of a UFO. In terms of an individual’s lifetime of experiences however, a sighting is an exceedingly rare event for most people. The fact that these three individuals who knew each other had a sighting within a few weeks should diminish the odds that they were mere coincidences.

Even less likely to occur by chance is the fact that the circumstances of the sightings were highly congruent. The observers were all driving home and were alone in their vehicles. Even the direction of travel was the same; we were all going south when the encounters took place.

**PASSIONATE DEFENSE OF PROACTIVELY SEEKING CONTACT.**

In my sighting, I had just left a meeting after engaging in a heated polemic defending our program of human initiated interactions with what I believed at the time was an extraterrestrial intelligence. Present at the meeting was the “old guard” of ufology. Prominent researcher and author Ann Druffel was there. She explained to me that as “ufologists” we should study other people’s sightings to determine if they are “anomalous” i.e., “true unknowns.”

In no uncertain terms, I labeled her approach “old fashioned.” I stated that the contact network which I would later call “The Contact Underground” had, “opened up a new era in UFO research.” As I left the meeting it was clear that I would never again be invited back to the prestigious “LA UFO Study Group.”phenomenon. His name is Preston Dennett. There was also successful a film writer that had an undergraduate degree from Harvard and two master’s degrees. I have kept in touch with Captain Joe Vallejo who was a “Line” pilot for United Airlines. He ended his career as a 747 pilot. Joe has not had any further interactions with UFO intelligence. In subsequent years I attempted to facilitate contact team formation. I was never able to bring together such a unique and highly functional group as our original team.share the shocking aspects of contact with family, friends and he larger society they are again injured by a massive wave of ridicule and denial.

It is clear to me that UFO intelligences work with a wide spectrum of people, many are contacted at sub & unconscious levels. This permits them to live their lives, have a career, supportive family life and would be characterized by the term you used, “high functioning.” When the time is “right” as determined by UFO INTEL, they are “activated.” Suddenly they develop a tremendous interest in this subject. I am convinced, but in no way can I prove that every member of my team had a pre-existing sub/unconscious relationship with flying saucer intelligences and that their memories of prior contact events were suppressed. I believed this proposed mechanism probably applies to me.

The implications of this analysis are colossal. We are seeing the creation of a major shift in societal paradigms being driven in part by advanced non-human intelligences that have awesome physical and mental capabilities. I discuss this further in upcoming blogs. Again thanks for the question.

Album of the Month: January '17

Drab Majesty

‘The Demonstration’

Dais

Drab Majesty, the project created and fronted by premiere goth alien Deb Demure, is back with their second proper LP. 

'The Demonstration' sees Drab Majesty doubling down on what they do so well, finely tuned new wave goth, but better. Demure's former LA based bedroom experiment (which has morphed into a two-man group with the addition of Mona D) has seen its profile & popularity rise, after successful tours supporting the likes of King Dude and Cold Cave. 

Drab Majesty are the torchbearers for a certain strain of Goth, where the dark wave crashes full on into brooding Reagan era new wave pop. Demure captures a specific sound, whereas every production trick is precise and aesthetic rules the land. This attention to detail, along with Deb’s unique and heavily treated guitar style, is what sets Drab apart from the sea of Goth indebted groups.

"Dot In the Sky" gets things off to a proper start with Demure's chiming guitar atop synths and slap-back drums. Standout single "39 By Design" immediately follows with echoey percussion, delayed guitar lines, and treated vocals to tell the story of the infamous Heaven's Gate followers who met their fabled end. 

The guitar tones captured throughout the album are phenomenal, as witnessed on the sci-fi waltz of "Not Just A Name.” Reminiscent of Duran Duran's more subdued moments, only way fucking spacier. 

The candy coated new wave of "Too Soon to Tell" picks up the BPMs and nails a beautiful chorus harmony, while "Cold Souls" is dreamy Goth-pop built upon airy synths reaching for Tears for Fears heights. 

Drab Majesty are masters of ethereal Goth, steeped in dated production tricks, while literally reaching towards the cold vastness of space. What was once a solo affair has morphed into a full fledged entity, and as the popularity grows, so to does the quality of the Drab output.

Original Post from Security Affairs Author: Pierluigi Paganini

Toyota plans to release the PASTA (Portable Automotive Security Testbed) Car-Hacking Tool on GitHub next month.

Takuya Yoshida from Toyota’s InfoTechnology Center and his colleague Tsuyoshi Toyama are members of a Toyota team that developed the new tool, called PASTA (Portable Automotive Security Testbed).

PASTA is an open-source testing platform specifically designed for car hacking, it was developed to help experts to test cyber security features of modern vehicles. The tool was presented by the security duo at the BLACK HAT EUROPE 2018 that revealed Toyota’s plans to share the specifications on Github and will start selling the fully built system in Japan.

Now Toyama announced that the carmaker plans to make the PASTA tool available via GitHub as early as next month or April.

Toyama and his team will share open-source the platform’s specs, CAN (controller area network) ID maps, ECU (engine control unit) program codes, and ECU circuit diagrams for vehicle testing. The carmaker also plans to offer PASTA’s driving simulator programs as open source.

The PASTA car hacking tool is contained in an 8 kg portable briefcase, experts highlighted the delay of the automotive industry in developing cyber security for modern cars.

Giving a close look at pasta case, we can find four ECUs inside, as well as a console to run tests of the car system operation or to carry out attacks, for example injecting CAN messages. The platform simulates the remote operation of a vehicle and its components, including wheels, brakes, and windows.

“It’s small and portable so users can study, research, and hack with it anywhere.” said the expert during thedemonstration at Black Hat Europe. .“You can modify the programming of ECUs in C” as well, he said.

Among future improvements for PASTA there is the implementation of other connectivity features, including Ethernet, LIN, and CAN FD, Wi-Fi and of course Bluetooth.

You can download slides and the research paper from the following link:

Toyama will demonstrate PASTA at the next Black Hat Asia in Singapore.

EDSA People Power Revolution

The Philippines was praised worldwide in 1986, when the so-called bloodless revolution erupted, called EDSA People Power’s Revolution. February 25, 1986 marked a significant national event that has been engraved in the hearts and minds of every Filipino. This part of Philippine history gives us a strong sense of pride especially that other nations had attempted to emulate what we have shown the world of the true power of democracy. The true empowerment of democracy was exhibited in EDSA by its successful efforts to oust a tyrant by a demonstration without tolerance for violence and bloodshed. Prayers and rosaries strengthened by faith were the only weapons that the Filipinos used to recover their freedom from President Ferdinand Marcos’s iron hands. The Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA) stretches 54 kilometers, where the peaceful demonstration was held on that fateful day. It was a day that gathered all Filipinos in unity with courage and faith to prevail democracy in the country. It was the power of the people, who assembled in EDSA, that restored the democratic Philippines, ending the oppressive Marcos regime. Hence, it came to be known as the EDSA People Power’s Revolution.

The revolution was a result of the long oppressed freedom and the life threatening abuses executed by the Marcos government to cite several events like human rights violation since the tyrannical Martial Law Proclamation in 1972. In the years that followed Martial Law started the suppressive and abusive years–incidents of assassination were rampant, particularly those who opposed the government, individuals and companies alike were subdued. The Filipinos reached the height of their patience when former Senator Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino, Sr. was shot and killed at the airport in August 21, 1983, upon his return to the Philippines from exile in the United States. Aquino’s death marked the day that Filipinos learned to fight. His grieving wife, Corazon Cojuangco-Aquino showed the Filipinos and the world the strength and courage to claim back the democracy that Ferdinand Marcos arrested for his personal caprice. Considering the depressing economy of the country, Ninoy’s death further intensified the contained resentment of the Filipinos. In the efforts to win back his popularity among the people, Marcos held a snap presidential election in February 7, 1986, where he was confronted with a strong and potent opposition, Corazon Aquino. It was the most corrupt and deceitful election held in the Philippine history. There was an evident trace of electoral fraud as the tally of votes were declared with discrepancy between the official count by the COMELEC (Commission on Elections) and the count of NAMFREL (National Movement for Free Elections). Such blatant corruption in that election was the final straw of tolerance by the Filipinos of the Marcos regime. Thedemonstration started to break in the cry for democracy and the demand to oust Marcos from his seat at Malacañang Palace. The revolt commenced when Marcos' Defense Minister Juan Ponce Enrile and the Armed Forces Vice-Chief of Staff command of Fidel V. Ramos, both withdrew their support from the government and called upon the resignation of then President Marcos. They responsibly barricaded Camp Crame and Camp Aguinaldo and had their troops ready to combat against possible armed attack organized by Marcos and his troops. The Catholic Church represented by Archbishop Jaime Cardinal Sin along with the priests and nuns called for the support of all Filipinos who believed in democracy. Radyo Veritas aired the message of Cardinal Sin that summoned thousands of Filipinos to march the street of EDSA. It was an empowering demonstration that aimed to succeed peacefully with the intervention of faith. Nuns kneeled in front of tanks with rosaries in their hands and uttering their prayers. With the power of prayers, the armed marine troops under the command of Marcos withdrew from the site. Celebrities expressed their support putting up a presentation to showcase the injustices and the anomalies carried out by the Marcos administration. Finally, in the morning of February 25, 1986, Corazon Aquino took the presidential oath of office, administered by the Supreme Court Associate Justice Claudio Teehankee at Club Filipino located in San Juan. Aquino was proclaimed as the 11th President of the Republic of the Philippines. She was the first lady president of the country. People rejoiced over their victory proving the success of the EDSA People’s Power Revolution, the historic peaceful demonstration. Although in 2001, there was an attempt to revive People Power in the efforts to oust then President Joseph Estrada, it was not as strong as the glorifying demonstration in 1986. The bloodless, People Power Revolution in EDSA renewed the power of the people, strengthened the meaning of democracy and restored the democratic institutions of government.Continue to the 5th Republic (1986) up to the Present Time.
