STRANGE LOVE

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb is a political commentary, disguised as a satire black comedy film, that reveals the “Cold War” fears of a nuclear conflict between the USSR and the US. The story concerns a psychopathic United States Air Force general who orders a first strike nuclear bomber attack on the Soviet Union.
It follows the President of the United States, his advisers, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and a Royal Air Force (RAF) officer as they try to recall the bombers to prevent a nuclear apocalypse. It separately follows the crew of one B-52 bomber as they try to deliver their payload of nuclear bombs to destroy a Russian nuclear missile and begin the Global Nuclear Holocaust when Russian retaliates by exploding their a “doomsday device“, which consists of many buried bombs jacketed with “Cobalt-Thorium G” connected to a computer network set to detonate them automatically should any nuclear attack strike the country. Within two months after detonation, the Cobalt-Thorium G would encircle the earth in a radioactive cloud, wiping out all human and animal life.
LENSMAN

“The Lens is a lenticular structure of hundreds of thousands of tiny crystalloids, built and tuned to match the individual life force—the ego, the personality— of one individual entity. While not, strictly speaking, alive, it is endowed with a sort of pseudo-life by virtue of which it gives off a strong, characteristically-changing, polychromatic light as long as it is in circuit with the living mentality with which it is in synchronization. Conversely, when worn by anyone except its owner, it not only remains dark, but it kills; so strongly does its pseudo-life interfere with any life to which it is not attuned. It is also a telepathic communicator of astounding power and range—and other things.”
— E.E “Doc” Smith, from The Lensman Series
Personally, I think the Lensman Series written by E.E. “Doc” Smith during the 1930s and 1940s is the preeminent series of science fiction books ever published. These books were the genesis of what became knows as “space opera”. His books describe fictional events that occurred billions of years ago, and were the inspiration for Star Wars and a lot of science fiction that attempted to emulate his groundbreaking ideas. (“a long time ago, in a galaxy far away…”). The heroes and villains of his stories have “supernatural” spiritual powers and abilities which we attribute to “super-heroes” in modern literature. Doc Smith originated the concept of super-light-speeds, intergalactic travel, hyper-spacial tubes, vortexes of force, alien planets, intelligent anaerobic life forms, and “technobabble” — that is based more in fact than fantasy. The Lens, created by the progenitors of Humanity and Civilization (a race of disembodied entities know as the Arisians) purveyed the ability of telepathic communication and mental powers with the force to penetrate matter, kill, and conquer the enemies of Humanity (the Edorians). These novels are the ultimate “good guys vs bad guys” science-fiction action-adventure stories based in spiritual insights never matched by any other writers.
However, there are NO beings in any other literature I have read — before the 1930s or since — that are comparable: they are insuperable! If you have not read these books, I encourage you to indulge yourself in the greatest science fiction ever written!

SHOCKING NEWS!
Republished by Blog Post Promoter
Are you upset by the stuff you read, hear or see in “the news”?
The most over-used catchword in the mainstream media crusade to castrate your mind and crush you soul is the word “SHOCKING”. The so-called “news” sources search the entire world to find (or make up) the most disgusting, disastrous, tragic examples of war, murder, mayhem, insanity, chaos, crime and destruction. Then they consolidate all of this garbage into very nasty bite-sized text or sound bits so it can be jamming down your dim-witted throat in the micro-seconds of your dismal, drug-impaired attention span!
Guess what, campers? “The News” is intentionally designed to KEEP YOU BEING UPSET.
When you’re upset with life you are more likely to give up, take drugs, be afraid to go outside, and just stay a home and be mentally and physically ill.
What I find to be the most “SHOCKING” thing about “commercial” media (including network and cable TV, radio, the internet, YouTube and Facebook) is the number of people who have already lost their intelligence, discretion, and ability to reason while they’re tuned into it. If you believe ANYTHING you see or hear without investigating the source of the material, you deserve to become a brain-dead zombie.
Before you “believe” anything you see or read, ANSWER THESE FIVE QUESTIONS:
1) WHO IS THE SOURCE OF THE MATERIAL?
(The names of the persons or organizations who wrote, produced and distributed it)
2) WHO PAID FOR IT?
3) WHO WILL PROFIT FROM IT?
4) WHAT IS THE UNWRITTEN or UNSPOKEN “SPIN” OF THE MESSAGE IT CONTAINS?
5) WHAT IS THE INTENDED EFFECT ON ME , THE COMMUNITY, THE COUNTRY and THE WORLD?
If you can’t answer these questions, just turn it off! You will sleep better at night and have a happier life.
