Aliens In A Spaceship

Aliens In A Spaceship

The town of Westport is rolling a large stone uphill in its commendable effort to keep the buses rolling. Public hearings on the Transit District’s future were held this week by the RTM’s (Representative Town Meeting) Transit Committee.

Facing a 50 percent cutback in state funding, a continued lack of ridership and the need of major repairs — on top of a million dollar court judgment against the district won by the Gilbertie family who lost their taxi service — officials are weighing a reorganization plan that would cut seven drivers and two mechanics and forgo raises for those who remain.

Sliding ridership? Escalating expenses? Upward pressure on salaries?

What else can one do? Pull back, retrench, cut costs! Cutback on routes, schedules! Eliminate special rates! Bring costs in line with the available budget!

It’s the usual, natural response to economic hard times.

On the other hand, one knows that cutting back is the exact opposite of what one would want to do to make a public transportation system, i.e., bus service, healthy and viable.

Want to create a thriving, popular bus service for a community? Almost anyone can tell you how to do it: Operate lots of clean, efficient buses throughout the district over a wide range of routes on a schedule that cuts waiting time and transfers to a minimum with well-paid and happy bus drivers.

Ah, but this is Utopia! And we all know that Utopia doesn’t exist.

Maybe.

If the proverbial man from Mars circled the globe in his spaceship and viewed the traffic patterns around the world’s major cities — and even many smaller burgs — he no doubt would marvel at the inefficiency of our transportation system, as Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev did some years ago when he commented on the clogged highways of the Los Angles area and wondered aloud why so many stalled and creeping cars were occupied by only one person.

Nobody wants to hear it, but the truth is that Mike Quill, the erstwhile New York City transit union chief, was right: Public transportation should be free!

What?

Yes, free! That is, as free as anything gets. Free, in this case, means that the cost would be paid through the general fund (that’s a euphemism for taxes.)

On the face of it, free transportation has a ring of absurdity. But upon reflection it makes a lot more sense.

Think of it. Free public transportation would make it possible to meet all criteria for efficiency and popularity. Funds would be available to create a complete system with adequate routes and good schedules as well as the nitty-gritty costs, such as salaries, operating expenses and capital investment.

Yes, but wouldn’t all those buses run empty?

No. Creation of a good system of free public transportation would entice droves of people — many of whom now believe that buses are only for people too poor to afford their own car — to shun the exorbitant cost of owning an automobile in favor of a free, enjoyable socially desirable ride to work or play. Who would want to pay for a car, with all it attendant expenses, if he could ride free?

Of course, institution of such a system would go hand-in-hand with the promotion of other, complementary forms of transportation such as expanded use of taxicabs. Personally, and I’m not alone, I would love to see the return of the trolley car.

To achieve all this, however, would require a knockdown drag out battle with a lot of vested interests.

Until the world wakes up and actually creates this “Utopian” transportation system, I will continue to watch log-jammed cars on highways that look like parking lots and think to myself: These hapless bottlenecked people are the same people who call good public transportation “Utopia” and downgrade it at every opportunity. Let them eat cake.

One thing I know for certain: If you lie down with cars, you wake up in a traffic jam!

Area 51 Free

Area 51 Free

The secrecy and tight security that enshrines Area 51 is what makes so many people, particularly conspiracy theorists, speculate closely what the site is used for. The bureaucratic government reply to inquiries around Area 51 used to simply imply that the base does not exist. The base has expanded considerably over the years but it is better known as the testing area for other “Black Projects” such as the F-117 Stealth Fighter, A-12 Blackbird, and the B2 Stealth Bomber.

If you should wish to visit Area 51 you will be met with a warning sign that reminds you “photography is prohibited” in large letters….

Questionably, one of the most famous men associated with Area 51 is physicist Bob Lazar. Robert Scott Lazar was born in Coral Gables, Florida, in 1959 and is a name numerous people associate with Area 51. This is due to the fact that claims to have been employed at a complex recognised as “S-43 deep within the now dry Papoose lake bed. Bob Lazar is the most infamous whistle blower following his claims in the early 1980′s that he was employed by the US government to understand how extraterrestrial UFO space craft operated. He effectively was claiming that his employment was to directly reverse engineer “recovered” space crafts.

Lazar claims during the early days of his career he worked as a physicist on a highly classified government project, named Galileo. He also claimed to have received a 2 page briefing document in which it was claimed that Alien life forms indeed exist and been integrated within human evolution and that their spacecraft are being housed at S4, 15 miles away from Area 51, deep within Papoose Lake. Bob portrayed the complex as having being built into the bottom of the Papoose Range with nine aircraft style hangar doors angled at 60 degrees. Lazar further described the space craft that he performed on as being powered through an anti-matter reactor and as yet unknown energy source named “Element 1153.

Bob Lazar evidence to support his employment and subsequent whistle blowing claims came by way of a payslip which contains the intriguing designation E-6722MAJ and an internal telephone listing of the Meson Laboratories 1982, which included Bob Lazars name. It was also identified that his taxation documents incorporated the contract number he was provided while working at Area 51. Certainly some convincing evidence to support his employment at the top secret base. However, people started to become somewhat sceptical of his claims when it emerged that his educational background did not stand up to scrutiny. No substantiated evidence could be found that he had attended the California Institute of Technology or the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as he had previously stated. Following his subsequent conviction after setting up a computerised security system in a location which turned out to house an illegal brothel, he became a discredited figure.

Certainly Bob Lazar and Area 51 go together well in terms of conspiracy theories however, given the information to support his employment at the US base some parts of his claims indeed stack up. If what Bob says is true then Area 51 (or the Air Force Flight Test Center as it is now known) is sure to be housing some significant artifacts and astounding technology, lets hope that President Obama can include these case files in his revolutionary freedom of information act release of classified information. We may at last be able to ascertain the validity of the hundreds of discredited stories not only of Bob Lazar, but others whom have dared to come forward in the belief that the knowledge and existence of alien technology and/or life should not be concealed for the privileged only, but should be for the consumption of all that wish to know.
