There is a name being whispered conspiratorially around ballet circles at the moment. That name is Ivan Vasiliev, or as the popular press is beginning to call him Rocket Man. At just 21 he is the crown prince of the Bolshoi Ballet. Spartacus.
What is so special about him? Some would say his leonine grace on stage, others his fabulous looks. Most, however, would agree that it his simply jaw dropping aerial brilliance that has struck audiences. This boy can dance. The jumps that he executes are so dazzling, the turns so punishing that even in rehearsals his ballet colleagues stop and applaud him.
We are confronted on Earth with the reality that we are mortal. We inhabit a body of fragile flesh that will die. We live on a Prison Planet. We are surrounded by perpetual pain: death, taxes and with religious and scientific superstitions that ensure our perpetual stupidity. The idea of “freedom” to which we feel entitled as a “natural right” of Caucasian Conquers of the “barbarians” of North America, Africa, the Middle East, etc., has been stolen from us by Rothschild Private Banks who own the private military / police force and politicians they control. We are the “peasants”. We obey, we do the heavy lifting, we do the menial work, we pay taxes, we kill each other on battle fields of perpetual warfare, and we die a certain an eternal death. As spiritual entities we have been given amnesia. We do not remember Who We Really Are, or where we came from, or who brought us to this planet. We are isolated and forgotten on a infinitesimally tiny speck of dust on the fringe of a remote galaxy. We are lost….forever, and ever. So, when faced the the brutal reality of our insignificantly abysmal existence, it seems that the only “logical” option is to “get drunk and screw and party till you die”. (and start all over again when you are reincarnated as a “stinky baby”…..ad infinitum).

The Millennium Simulation used more than 10 billion particles to trace the evolution of the matter distribution in a cubic region of the Universe over 2 billion light-years on a side. It kept busy the principal supercomputer at the Max Planck Society’s Supercomputing Centre in Garching, Germany for more than a month. By applying sophisticated modelling techniques to the 25 Tbytes of stored output, Virgo scientists have been able to recreate evolutionary histories both for the 20 million galaxies which populate this enormous volume and for the supermassive black holes which occasionally power quasars at their hearts.
The movie shows a 3-dimensional visualization of the journey through the simulated universe. On the way, we visit a rich cluster of galaxies and fly around it. During the two minutes of the movie, we travel a distance for which light would need more than 2.4 billion years.
This documentary reveals how television is used as a population control device. “Mass Media” mind control methods are a very ugly and uncomfortable reality of our “electronic society”. George Orwell predicted that “Big Brother” would use television to create a global totalitarian state in his book “1984”. The book was published in 1949, about ten years before television became a common household item. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nineteen_Eighty-Four )
In my lifetime television has become universal on Earth, and the totalitarian mind-control state described by Orwell has become a reality. Digital Television sets and programming services are now MANDATORY in most of the countries of the world. For example, as of January 1, 2013, whether you want to or not, even if you don’t have a radio or TV set – and now a computer or tablet – in your household, you are required to pay a monthly fee to help finance Germany’s public broadcasters. This kind of “mandatory TV” legislation is being enacted in many other places as well.
It is not pleasant to watch this video. However, if you never turn on a television set again, it may save your sanity and your spirit from the intentional degradation contained in the “programs” shown. How can we defend ourselves from this “weapon”? If we don’t own a TV, don’t buy one. If we own at TV, don’t turn it on!
