- Welcome to the latest installment of this occasional
series on Mars, so far centered around the 27,000+ Mars photos that Malin
Space Science Systems have posted to the internet. How long will this thread
continue? As long as it interests me enough to devote the hours of time
to it that it requires to bring it to the web, and thereby, to your friendly
internet browser.
-
-
- One:
-
- Before I get to the substance of this installment I would
like to mention that it has come to my attention that other Mars "investigators"
have just "discovered" (yes! yes! -- isn't it exciting!?) evidence
for water springs flowing from the cliffs on Mars.
-
- Well.
-
- All they had to do was browse the material I posted on
my website and on the "Sightings" website more than one month
ago (17-18 June 2000). Click on the two links immediately below and scroll
down to Point #6.

-
- Or, browse this earlier post of mine on "Sightings".
http://www.sightings.com/general2/curi.htm
-
- And the "Sightings" website almost four weeks
ago. http://www.sightings.com/general2/cur.htm
-
- So, I am flattered that after five weeks of searching,
certain other Mars "investigators" have made a stunning breakthrough!!
-- a breathtaking, breakthrough discovery of a phenomenon that you, dear
"Sightings" website surfer, first saw the evidence for right
here, and weeks ago.
-
- I am honored, yes, I am, to be so closely imitated in
such a flattering way (and it's not the first time- no, it's not!). Now,
if only those other "investigators" would read my posts when
they first appear they could make their stunning "discoveries"
even sooner, saving themselves weeks of wearying searching through the
many thousands of MSSS photos!! Looking, looking, looking for evidence
of a possible water spring flowing from the side of a Martian cliff when
all the evidence they ever needed was right there on my website and the
"Sightings" website all the time, just one mouse click away.
-
- Oh, well. As the old saw says, "You can lead a horse
to water, but..." And you know how the rest of it goes.
-
-
- Two:
-
- I would certainly like to take a moment to thank the
many people who have taken time to e-mail me, or Jeff Rense, with comments
and links to interesting Mars photos they have found. I do appreciate the
time and effort that "Sightings" fans have taken to do this.
-
-
- Three:
-
- Next, I would like to follow up on a line of thought
that I have been turning over in my mind for almost two months now. I just
want to throw out some thoughts and reflections. I might be right in some,
or all of my thinking and opinions, or, I might be wrong. By the same token,
you may agree with what I say, or you may disagree. What I have to say
concerns the curious, rill-like features that are clearly visible in photos
such as the following, from the Lunae Palus region of Mars.

-
- In my interview this past Sunday with Jeff Rense on the
"Sightings on the Radio Show", we discussed ten unique photos
and/or (non)photos that I selected from the 27,000+ MSSS Mars photos. In
the posting to the "Sightings" website that accompanied the interview,
and also in the interview, I mentioned that some of these features appear,
on the one hand, as if they are alive, or perhaps are engineered by something
that is alive, while on the other hand appearing to also plausibly be natural
features. This is a theme I have been striking from my very first public
discussion of these features, on 28 May 2000. Look at this "vein"-like
feature that sprawls across the Martian landscape. Indeed, you could say
that it is the Martian landscape.
-
- When I first saw it I had two feelings: a) it is alive,
or constructed by a life form; and b) it is a natural feature. I still
feel that way. I have also raised the question as to whether a landform
can be "alive", in my earlier postings in this forum. I personally
believe that the answer is "yes". Certainly, this is a belief
that other human cultures have had about the Earth itself, for example.
Our present, consumer based culture views the Earth as an industrial resource
to be consumed and monetized, not as a vast living being that provides
us sustenance.
-
- I believe the view of the Earth as a commodity is false,
and that we, and many other living creatures, suffer greatly because we
hold it. That is my view. I could be wrong, of course, but I really don't
think that I am. It is also my view that other planets may be alive in
some sense.
-
- Take Mars, for instance. When I looked at the "veins",
I wondered if they might not be some kind of circuit, maybe a natural conduit
for channeling planetary energies, something like a huge radionics circuit
for healing and balancing the landscape. On the one hand, the "veins"
somewhat resemble the network of veins in a terrestrial plant leaf; on
the other hand they also bear some passing resemblance to the network of
conductors and components in a printed electronic circuit, or in an electronic
circuit schematic diagram, or maybe even in a flow chart describing an
organizational structure, or an ecological process.
-
- There is precedent for geometrically regular landscaping
of surface features in order to work with natural planetary energies right
here on Earth. This planet has many mounds, earthworks, ridges, walls,
etc., all constructed in remote antiquity by our ancient ancestors, peoples
who viewed the planet in a different way than we do now, peoples who lived
on and from the land, rather than setting themselves against it with bulldozers
and poisonous chemicals, as we do nowadays. Where are these features? All
over the world! There are the mounds of the Ohio River valley here in North
America, the lines and figures of the Nazca plain in South America, the
mounds and standing stones of England and Brittany, and other such features
here and there across the planet, built a very long time ago by people,
our ancestors, who had a radically different way of thinking about the
planet than we do.
-
- Are we seeing something similar on Mars, albeit in a
Martian form, and hence, somewhat "alien" in appearance? I raise
the question, since we do not really know what Martian life might look
like. It might be that Martian life shapes the landscape in more "natural"
ways than we shape our own, terrestrial landscape.
-
- We, Earthlings, have a tendency to destroy the landscape.
If there is coal in a mountain chain, as in Appalachia, we send in power
machinery and level the mountains, destroying the landscape to get at the
coal. If there is mahogany timber in a tropical forest, we send in power
machinery to destroy the forest, to get out some logs for sofas and chairs
and hardwood flooring. If God happened to place a coastal marsh and sand
dunes in just the place where the local country club wants to place a golf
course, why, the bulldozers move in and take care of things, ripping and
roaring, so that wealthy retirees can relax and unwind in seaside comfort--
minus the salt marsh and sand dunes, of course. (Who wants all that marsh
muck sucking at your feet when there's golf to be played? Let the turtles
and crabs and blue herons go elsewhere, that's the sentiment.) And that
is how we do things on Earth at present, destroying forests, leveling mountains,
bulldozing, and killing ecosystems, in the name of "civilization"
(so-called) and "progress"(so-called).
-
- But what if things are different on Mars? What if there
is life on Mars? And what if is harmonized with the landscape, rather than
fighting against it (as we do). What if there is life on Mars, and what
if it is harmonized with the landscape, such that it blends right in, and
is an integral part of the planet? And what if that is why when we look
at certain parts of the Martian landscape we simultaneously have the feeling,
on the one hand, that we are looking at a possible life form, or something
built by a life form, or maybe, on the other hand, that we are just seeing
a natural feature?
-
- And what if the Martian life forms, assuming that may
be what we are looking at in some of these photos, view the coming of our
"civilization" (so-called), NASA, JPL, and the Pentagon (and
their equivalents in other countries) with great sorrow? Because it understands
what these organizations plan to do, indeed are already doing, in outer
space. The militarization of space is well underway. Only the brain dead
could be unaware of the rapidly advancing militarization of outer space,
a process in which the United States currently leads. And wherever the
Pentagon goes, war is sure to follow. That is axiomatic, since the Pentagon
is a war waging organization.
-
- If there is life on Mars, and if it is sane, emotionally
and spiritually balanced life, at harmony with itself and the planet on
which it resides, with what horror and profound disgust would it view the
coming of the United States, of Russia, of China, with their nuclear missiles,
with their mountainous garbage dumps, with their bulldozers, with their
poisonous chemical technologies, with their violent, imperial politics?
In short, if there is sane life on Mars, with what dread must it view us
-- you and me (yes, I have to include myself)? And our violent cesspool
of a "civilization" (so-called)?
-
- Can we even see ourselves for what we have become and
what we have done to each other and the planet on which we live? Is Mars
holding a mirror up to our face, via these photographs, making us question
the very nature of life itself, and the very nature of just who we are
and what we are doing?
-
- It occurs to me to ask the question. It occurs to me
to inquire as to whether this is the question that Mars silently poses
to us as we gaze quietly on her visage. Is this perhaps what NASA/JPL/MSSS
and the Pentagon know -- that there is life on Mars and that it has the
most profound implications for us, for the rest of the solar system, and
for our place in the solar system? Can they not ask the question, because
it indicts them personally?
-
- I wonder.
-
- And so we continue to gaze at the Mars photos, thinking
large thoughts and wondering at the many, highly degraded, or altogether
missing (non)photos that MSSS have put out on the internet. What is there
to hide? Life on Mars? And the concomitant lack of (true) life on the part
of those who filter our knowledge of Mars to us?
-
- Finally, Lockheed-Martin operates the Mars orbiter that
is currently orbiting Mars, taking photographs. Lockheed-Martin also makes
nuclear weaponry for the Pentagon. What is Lockheed-Martin's true agenda
on Mars? Do they come in peace, or do they come stealthily, with treachery
in their hearts, and a brace of nuclear missiles hidden behind their corporate
back?
-
- Think, dear friends. Ponder well.
