Editor’s Comment: Yes, we are living in a science experiment, and those running things aren’t too worried about us ending up as collateral damage as they work towards new goals in the awful and incredible progress of science and technology.
Are things reaching a tipping point for the survival of life on Earth? CERN alone raises many important questions, and so does the rise of artificial intelligence. Then there’s Fukushima, the BP gulf oil spill and the still-ongoing methane leak in California. There’s quite a bit of propaganda about things like global warming, but one could still see the desirability of getting out of the way of the destructive elite. But who do you think will be building the off-world colonies and spacecraft? Did anyone see the Bond film Moonraker?
Let’s hope this madness can be cutoff at its source, or they won’t treat us any better in orbit either. Not that our ticket is likely to come up soon; we don’t exact have a lot of control in the situation.
Stephen Hawking Warns Humanity: Leave Earth Before the Ruling Class Destroys It
by Claire Bernish
Humanity’s future is in peril thanks to so-called advancements in science and technology, claims Professor Stephen Hawking, who cited “nuclear war, global warming, and genetically-modified viruses” as deadly threats to our existence.
Hawking described various “things that could go wrong” to an audience of hundreds attending the first in a series of BBC Reith Lectures, which pertain to research about black holes. He asserted the necessity for colonization of other planets to ensure survival of the human species. According to the BBC, Hawking cautioned:
“Although the chance of a disaster to planet Earth in a given year might be quite low, it adds up over time, and becomes a near certainty in the next thousand or ten thousand years.
“By that time, we should have spread out into space, and to other stars, so a disaster on Earth would not mean the end of the human race.
“However, we will not establish self-sustaining colonies in space for at least the next hundred years, so we have to be very careful in this period.”
Though it would seem counterproductive for such a well-respected scientist to decry scientific progress as humanity’s most existential threat, this isn’t the first time Hawking has advised us to exercise caution, as Anti-Media has reported several times. Last summer, the theoretical physicist was among over 1,000 artificial intelligence experts who signed an open letter about the weaponization of robots and the ongoing “military artificial intelligence arms race” among the world’s military powers.
In October of last year, Hawking warned scientists at the European Center for Nuclear Research (CERN) about the potential for the Higgs Boson “God Particle” to initiate “catastrophic vacuum decay” — the formation of a quantum bubble that expands at the speed of light and could decimate the entire universe. Concern over the automation of the world’s workforce coupled with capitalist greed also earned the scientist’s stern alarm.
In fact, taken collectively, Hawking’s numerous warnings are aimed directly at the careless hubris of the ruling elites and their tendency to act in favor of profit — in a variety of fields — without consideration given to long-term consequences resulting from such hastily implemented projects.
Despite the numerous cautionary scenarios Hawking has proffered, he claims society will likely discover the means to cope.
“We are not going to stop making progress, or reverse it, so we have to recognize the dangers and control them,” he stated. “I’m an optimist, and I believe we can.
“It’s important to ensure that these changes are heading in the right directions. In a democratic society, this means that everyone needs to have a basic understanding of science to make informed decisions about the future.
“So communicate plainly what you are trying to do in science, and who knows, you might even end up understanding it yourself.”
The BBC will broadcast this first lecture with Stephen Hawking on January 26 and February 2. It will also be found online here.
Hawking’s theories, of course, haven’t escaped criticism; yet he does maintain a healthy enthusiasm, which was evidenced in this advice he offered young scientists:
“From my own perspective, it has been a glorious time to be alive and doing research in theoretical physics. There is nothing like the Eureka moment of discovering something that no one knew before.”

I want to build a nice root cellar, big one though, concrete floors, block walls, arched concrete lid, want to do it in a cross shape, arms of cross 12′ across with the longest leg going the deepest and separated by a double block wall and double insulated doors so it stays cool, figure it will be worth having, good place to keep squashes and root crops.

We are not advanced enough to do this. If they could get people to Mars right now they’d die shortly thereafter.
But steve said get off planet now…. is this part of agenda 30 or something?
Bullshit. We have the technology to do Mars colony.
Bullshit acid
I’ll bet that was one of the few times Mr. Hawkings was free of that chair. It must have been wonderful for him. Such a great, powerful mind in a weak, non-functioning body.
I can sympathize.
Sixpack I agree whole heartedly. And I say this with no disrespect to Mr. Hawkings. I have watched him many time on TV and my thoughts have always been, how terrible to be trapped in a body as he is. But 6 or 7 decades or even 100 years is nothing compared to eternity. He really had no choice in the condition that he currently is in, but he will make the choice of where he spends eternity. Trekker Out. Choose Wisely!
Sadly, Hawking chooses atheism. I understand why, but it is a path I can never choose for myself. If he is right, then life can never have any greater meaning than personal pleasure and that just seems so pointless. If I thought that way then I would probably just end my life since it would be pointless anyway.
As for what Hawking said, I think the larger threat is artificial intelligence and it’s application to military technology. Within 20-50 years we could engineer our own obsolescence. Sadly though, humanity seems more obsessed with what it can do rather than figuring out if it should do it in the first place.
Well said Sir. Humanity seems more bent on new ways of killing people rather than save them. And yes, AI will be a huge threat. Just because we can do it, doesn’t mean we should.
SWITZERLAND IS GOING TO VOTE THIS YEAR ON STRIPPING ALL BANKS OF THE ABILITY TO CREATE MONEY.
DO YOU REALIZE HOW SIGNIFICANT THIS IS?
yes, lets wait and see
LET’S HOPE IT CATCHES ON…
Guess we should colonize Nibiru as it swings by. Pack your bags. 🙂
Planet 9?
Plan 9 From Outer Space?
That new planet thst was supposedly discovered, was announced the other day
Hail Bopp…remember?
Dk, does make one wonder?
Read Sitchkin, Cayce, and others.
What if it was for real?
How would humanity react to something that blows out all reality as we know it now???
Be well all…
eppe: I think it is for real. It is the one thing that explains advanced, prehistoric civilizations evidenced by pyramids all over the earth and under the sea.
The theory also suggests CHANGES that are described quite accurately in Revelation.
Planet Nine is 18 Billion miles out. The red dwarf originally spotted in 1983 was estimated to be 50 Billion miles out. So if they are one and same, it has traveled much more than half the distance in just over 32 years.
Meaning that it is traveling in our direction, ONE BILLION MILES PER YEAR !!! That computes to over 111,000 miles per hour, well within the speed of comets and faster than the 60k miles an hour that the earth travels around the Sun.
Given that its orbital as shown is elliptical and in a different plane and quadrant we can accept the distance traveled as an estimate for ETA; making ETA 2033, exactly 2,000 years after the death of Christ.
Spooky !!! 🙂
thats something to ponder eh,,,
I think mans knowledge is so incredibly limited, there are much larger forces in the cosmos than us,
It would be fitting, wouldn’t it? I won’t be around to see it.
Hawking is a left wing parasite.
Global warming believing idiot , he probably gets paid to spew his crap .
I thought he was dead ?
Very interesting! I just got an email about a sign at a Jackson Miss. gun show that said “Those that voted for Barack Obama or Kenneth Stokes are to stupid to own a gun” which is true. So I googled Kenneth Stokes to find out who he is, and it seems he’s a councilman in Jackson Ms., and now he wants a Federal Investigation into this sign. It also says that Stokes made the comment that anytime the police chase a suspect to the getto, the people should throw rocks and bricks at them. Any more info on this would be interesting. Please don’t make any negative comments about our King or you could be arrested. Trekker Out.
Hawkins is a total retard. Why people by into his bull i will never know.
Here is an interesting Blog about Hawking:

Just his body is…
I’ve never understood all the fawning that takes place over Hocking.
I’ve never heard anything from him more profound than what your average junior high BS session puts out.
He once made the statement that if we encountered alien life forms they would probably be hostile to us.
Really? Well duh. That little pearl of wisdom makes him some kind of intellectual god? Really?
The guy is a friggin’ bore.
he IS dead, from the neck, down.
Climate Change is a scam for more taxes, and specifically for taxes to be paid to the UN. And, in the case of the Third World, transfer wealth from the wealthy nations to the poorer ones.
Why are the poor nations so poor when they have all the natural resources they need, and have had them for hundreds of years? Is there something wrong with their economic system, educational system, or dominate religion that has stunted opportunity for the poor ?
Yes, the weather is changing. Yes the climate is changing. This is happening because the Poles are moving, have moved. The NMP has moved more than 900 miles nw since its discovery in the early 1900’s.
The rate of movement has accelerated from 25 miles per year, to 40 miles per year. The coldest spots are at the Poles. The Poles reverse on average, every 200,000 years. It has been more than 750,000 years +/- since the last reversal.
Additionally, there is volcanic activity in the Arctic and Antarctic melting ice, as the Ring of Fire has become more active. Three million years ago, Greenland was free of its ice sheet and had been that way for the previous 50 million years.
Someone could argue that the End of the Ice Age 12,000 years ago is still ending. 500 million years ago the earth was much warmer and wetter, with most of North America and the world covered in water. The soil of Arizona is full of the tiny shells of salt water crustaceans.
The earth vacillates between warmer and colder epochs as it cycles and recycles itself over the millennia. All of this data is locked in the rocks, and well known to science.
Most weather: temperatures, sea currents and wind patterns are fueled by the Sun. Yes the earth is warming. The entire solar system is warming. ALL of the planets are warming. That’s the current cycle. The only difference now is that humans are here to observe and record the changes.
We cannot stop the Poles from moving. We cannot stop volcanic activity. We cannot stop the earth from cycling and recycling itself over time. We cannot stop the Sun from shining; waxing and waning in response to galactic forces. We must adapt or die.
Have you paid your Carbon Tax today?
I don’t pay much attention to him.
We must leave earth. Our future is that the sun will explode, yes in a up trillion years but we as a species must leave. Our understanding of stars ( like our sun) has given us a timeline. Eventually, we must leave this planet. No if ands or buts and we must be far away from it’s blast. There is no argument against that, the argument is when. So, as ISS astraunauts endure space now, with unknown circumstances, they sacrifice their bodies to and for science. The science which will launch us ( humanity) into the outer limits of our known boundaries
Did ya ever stop to think that those Grays, (both tall and short) might have those thin, elongated muscles from living in space generation after generation.

“There is no argument against that” Only according to you. Dude, step away from the crack pipe…
no, afraid not…we ALL die, in the end…and it was all for NOTHING.
soooo, DO TELL…which “sun” is going to support us when we go off into the wild black yonder…we leave THIS sun to go find WHICH one, that, you know….will support us without flickerin’ out….and there are no space rocks to hit us in the dark of space to poke a hole in our spaceship?…monkeys on a rock…that’s all we’ll be in the end.
Riiiight,
How are we supposed to leave the planet, just stupid.
You are absolutely incorrect! Think!
Yea, i think its ridiculous to think that man will be able to go to let alone inhabit some imaginary spot in space,,
When we still have governments hell bent on killing their own people, rampant greed, etc etc, the chance of man reaching some incredible idealistic state where they somehow are able to shoot off into space to save mankind is mental.
The reality is that mankind is most likely not worth saving.
IF man can avoid blowing ourselves up, it will not be “the people” who get off this planet – it could only be the elites who caused this problem in the first place, who could afford it.
Isn’t it Ironic?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jne9t8sHpUc
What’s ironic is that with one exception (the plane crash) the song’s examples are not actual examples of irony. It’s just a bunch of bummers. I still like the song though… reminds me of a time and place in life that I can never return to.
So instead of corrupting and ruining our own planet now we should spread out and corrupt and ruin other worlds?
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
Well yeah sure if we COULD.
I doubt that we can… see my next post but… yeah if we could? Intergalactic cockroaches, that’s us man 🙂
I think maybe we kinda sorta can. And by “we” I mean people entirely unrelated to us that just happen to be members of the same species. And by “can” I mean… well. If you’re willing to chuck out a near impossible to imagine number of probes and accept a 95% + casualty rate… it’s not a pretty idea really. Not at all.
Ill bet that im dead long before anyone is colonizing any space other than earth,,,
We dont even have a space program anymore and cant even feed the homeless living in the streets.
JMHO
There goes the neighborhood.
Yup, im sure theres an alien out there reading this rolling their eyes! All 8 of em
If you want to leave the planet, try the pink jeep tours through the Sedona Vortexes. They will take you to the astral planes.
But slake your caffeine thirst at Starbucks first. 🙂
We are not, some will. That’s the difference between common and elite.
They can go on our manned spaced missions……..Oh, thats right, Obama abandoned the space shuttle missions, we have no manned space missions anymore.
Mhmmm,
Not to mention how are you or I ever going to do this?
Real easy, were not,
Not is right…..they wanna see how killing of the people goes first….. but never happens….
NASA’s Journey to Mars

The issue is not the cessation of the antiquated shuttle program. It had run it’s course and become difficult to keep going due to how obsolete much of the technology was (they were going to Radio Shacks, Ebay and yard sales to try and find obsolete computer parts because they had long since gone out of production). The sad thing is that it had no replacement and the US is instead dependent on other nations to put it’s astronauts in space.
The friggin’ Nazis are dead so there goes the space race! I have a plan for man. Sweet or what?
the closet planet that MIGHT be habitable is about
13 light years away

I’m calling UBER !!!
There is no place like HOME! The destroyers of the Earth need to be dealt with, why should we leave! This man is a phony pony working for dissinfo group, and acts like a godfather of knowledge and understanding. He once said in his book ABHOT that if the Almighty ALL Knowing Creator GOD created the universe, He would have had to do it this way and that way, like he knows and is instructing GOD!
Damn, I thought that was Robin Williams at first in the picture.
Strap that fruitcake and his wheel chair to a rocket and light her off.
He’s like a rock shaped…so Im thinking Giant Slingshot
But I didnt go to some fancy school like steve did and Im sure he wants a rocket….
Mr. Hawking is not nearly as intelligent as he is made out to be….. and he is a very, very bitter human being. I truly feel sorry for him and that has nothing to do with his physical condition.. His advise means almost nothing to me, since I know it comes from a very dark and sad heart..
what’s with all the criticism of Hawking ???
anybody have ANY evidence to back up their nasty remarks???
Satori,I suppose it depends on your take on life. Stephen Hawking is pretty much ANTI-GOD so he isn’t really one of my favorites. He may be intelligent in mans eye, but thats as far as that goes. Trekker Out.
Well said MT !!!
Yep, anti-God.
Good description.
The issue is Hawkings, not us. Let him back up his remarks, he’s got the media platform, fame, and alleged authority.
Maybe I missed some, but I haven’t seen any “nasty” remarks.
@Satori…
The evidence is Hocking’s own words….none of which do anything to indicate that he has any kind of superior intellect.
yes. read up on him. left a wife, married a nurse that was helping him, etc and all sorts of petty selfish behavior. Besides that, he says global warming is an issue. come on man, that is ridiculous.
you can find some of it on the wikipedia page. go down to marriages.
The bible says the earth will wear out like a garment to be regenerated after the millinium with Christ. The worldly wise are always learning but never coming to the knowledge of the truth through Jesus Christ. Our time here is to proclaim the gospel, let the world be the world, act like pilgrims looking for their country ( the kingdom of Christ) and not fear the things that appear to be so fearsome in this world as we see it with our eyes.
Amen to that Brother!
^+100 🙂
I’ve no doubt that if given the time with which to do so, man will find his way into the ‘expanse’. However, with the probability of a global war allegedly being at 100% then it is logical to assume that man will have NO CHOICE but to first explore “inner space” (the ‘innards’ of our planet are newly discovered to be as much ocean as stone …so they say). Nukes will drive many underground for what …a bit over 450,000 years? Perhaps we should all add a library to our prep lists? lol…
speaking as an astrophysicist, I can tell you hawking is wrong here.
he was wrong on trying to disprove God(and his arguments were sad given his academic standing) and he’s wrong on global warming, and genetically-modified viruses.
CO warming is bunk and a big virus will eventually be left to die out. it might take several billion with it, but it will be left to die out.
only nuclear war has the ability and the usa and Russia re going to have to let around 1/2 the nuclear missles go and even then austrailia, south America and Africa will still have liveable land.
the earth has about another 50,000 years before the sun starts real global warming and makes the earth uninhabitable.
until then, your biggest problem is going to be competing for a job to feed yourself with the whole world as the west has given up any effort to maintain its standard of living so they’ll be liked.
50,000 years, that’s it???
Wow…
Now I’m depressed…
Granted that’s like almost 5x the RECORDED part of the history of humans, but for a planet that’s… a really short time. That’s not even one of the ages of dinosaurs. I mean that’s… planetarily speaking… sort of like telling someone they have 15 days to live…
Ok now I’m really depressed…
Don’t listen to lena, they are full of bull shit. They pulled those facts out of their arse. Take everything you read on the internet with a grain of salt and do a little googling yourself. Don’t let some idiot in the comment section get you depressed. At the very least it would take roughly 600 MILLION YEARS for earth to become uninhabitable. This article has links to several different studies and none of them show anywhere near 50,000 years.

People who spout mis-information really piss me off.
Well heck ….didn’t even say what I set out to type. Man has already left earth (way more than once). What about those hieroglyphics(sp?)that depict flying ‘craft’ or The Mayan ‘runways'(and zillions more). Perhaps waaaaay more than a chosen few are willing to admit is what I am willing to bet heavily on.

Great comment made my day
I’ll leave it to God what he wants to do with the plant. Even if man can destroy it, so what. No matter what we are all going to die. If the plant wont support human life there is nothing we can do about it.
He is a smart man with know common sense. And he believes that humans are the number being in the univers. One day we will all find out that we are not.

RE-POST:
Everyone, many people will die of food and water related problems so don’t forget RecoverORS for Hangovers, Food Poisoning, Diarrhea (Used worldwide for Traveler’s Diarrhea, Food Poisoning, Stomach Flu, Fever, Diarrhea, Vomiting, Hangover, Extreme Sports). It’s also good if we have to engage in a lot of physical activity because it offers relief from heat stress, fatigue and muscle cramping.
Another CHEAPER alternative is Medique Medi-Lyte, 100 Tablets. These over the counter medications can be life savers and are a must for prepers!

Thanks Ron!!!
Y’all keep blowing the Shofars !
Ahhhhh.
The Fascist Boot Licker’s of the collapsing America.
There are everywhere especially at this site. Aided and abetted by dreadful “Keyboard Cowards”.
I read your article over at the Sheeple calling for a buffer zone.
“We are working with Pacific Patriots Network (PPN) which has established a buffer between the Wildlife Refuge occupiers and the authorities in Oregon. PPN has asked Oath Keepers to put out the call for volunteers to assist in this peaceful mission, which includes a “hearts-and-minds”campaign with the locals, as well as facilitating open dialogue and negotiations between law enforcement and Ammon Bundy.”
Winning the hearts and minds. How about right here!
You doing a fine job.
No, we are Boot Licking Fascist and Keyboard Cowards.
Oh Yes. No Hot Heads.
OREGON UPDATE: We are back home safely after driving 20 hours through rain and snow. I see that Mac Slavo and the rest of the people in charge of SHTF are still staying away from the most important story in the country right now, and I understand why-they are keyboard cowards more interested in trivial stories to pacify their audience and right now they are scared to death, and they have good reason to be.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
I believe an Apology to Mac and this site is in order.
Ah the little snowflake is all upset and drunk again as usual. Did they give you too many stickers every time you took a poop snowflake is that what is bothering you?? Go pick your nose keyboard coward and leave saving this country to the adults okay snowflake.
I do feel sorry for you. We can it Little Mans Disease.
Just because you may have Inside information. Woooooooo.
We have to kiss your ass. Up yours. As far as Drinking. Not at the moment and it that is as best you can do. Why don’t you post your shit over at the Oathkeepers site. Why don’t you go on the news and call All the patriots Out with the Keyboard Coward shit.
Apology for what snowflake, because there is still nothing on here about the Oregon standoff from the keyboard cowards at SHTF Plan. You really need to lay off the booze and GMO poisonous toxic fake food my little snowflake, you have gone completely batshit insane, or just drunk as usual.
Haul ass back to where you came from. We can read about you all later in the news.
BREAKING NEWS!
Over at the Daily Sheeple. The article calling for a Buffer zone. Take a look at the Comments. How many support the actions of this group.
I wanted to post what was posted here but it got into stuff I don’t need in order to have it posted. That’s alright. Good site.
So Are those folks “Fascist Boot Licker’s” and “Keyboard Cowards” too.
Hey Mac.
Would it be possible to pull up the Oath Keepers story from the Daily Sheeple.
Good grief man lay off the booze you are babbling like a complete brain dead dumbed down retard, which you obviously are keyboard coward…How many Big Pharma meds are you on screwing up your brain my little toxic dump snowflake???
Your the one that started it with your keyboard coward shit and I am not going away. You don’t have much to stand on since all you can do is try to belittle those who don’t agree with you. Besides I might be a snowflake but are you not one who is representing an Organization by participating in their events. Maybe the Oathkeepers should be reading SHTF. You are no better than any of us here and what Mac wants to posts is what it is going to be.
Unless you stop with all that Fascist /KeepBoard Coward shit I will be here every time you post it.
Anecdotally you can say catastrophic things will occur from natural causes as our world is dynamic, it is to be expected. We will all die someday, that cannot be avoided. In 5 billion or so years our Sun will kill everything( expands to be a Red Giant) if we are still here, no matter what we do.
With present technology and Newtonian physics we have a speed limit, the speed of light. Good luck finding a place to move to.
Keep in mind also we are on one of the outer arms of a Galaxy that is 100 million light years across. We are an average size Galaxy in a universe of 100’s of billions of Galaxies.
You all can leave,if you want(especially Democrats) I’ll take my chances on a small island in the middle of the Pacific, with my home built all terrain weaponized, AI robot getting me beer and chips.
Hawking might have a very high IQ however he is ate up with the dumbass
His books are good, but his politics suck.
just WOW
Hawking bashing left and right
with absolutely NO evidence to back up any of it
shameful and ignorant to say the least
Agreed, it was very shameful and ignorant of Mr. Hawking to make such statements with absolutely no evidence to back up any it.
Physicists in ivory tower universities need to be ethical and refuse to use their color of authority and knowledge to press outlandish claims in disciplines they are not trained in, such as viral medicine, climatology, or international relations. Einstein had the good sense to keep his yap shut on lots of issues, said he was a physics professor, not God.
well “smokey” I have carefully considered ALL the evidence you submitted and…..
oh wait
you submitted no evidence
good thing yer not a trial attorney
your client would get the electric chair for jay walking
That’s not even a lame response, it’s completely bullshit.
You are the one who called for evidence, even though Hawking failed to submit any himself.
Nice try to deflect criticism of his lack of ethics for crying doom and gloom without backing up his comments by considering disagreement to be a lack of evidence.
This is not a court case, it’s a scientist unable to present his opinions by backing them up with evidence.
Since you want to liken this to a court case, as a judge, you are a failure. You agree with Hawking about his views and refuse to consider that he may be outside of his discipline and acting unprofessionally.
Major failure of intellectual responsibility.
Hawking is not even the issue for myself, couldnt care less what his politics or quirks are, my beef is the fact that humans are one of the most vile and destructive species on this round ball hurtling through space.
My money is on humans self destructing with the exception of small pockets of innocent sheltered people here and there, my bet is nature reclaims the planet and it slowly evolves back to a state of balance at some point and people end up being a minor species rather than a dominant force that pretty much destroys everything it touches.
But who knows, im not even sure if i will survive for another week let alone plan to expand into the cosmos
every time I hear someone say that man is God’s
highest creation,I don’t know whether to burst out
laughing,crying or just start throwing up
we are WELL on our way to destroying ourselves
Civilization Is Not Carbon Neutral and Never Will Be
ht tp://survivalacres.com/blog/civilization-is-not-carbon-neutral-and-never-will-be/#more-9655
we have taken what God has given us
and absolutely trashed the planet
and we’re still not done
I think maybe all of that, laugh, cry, throw up, and maybe even pee ourselves a little,,,,
Could you imagine God and Christ sitting around the breakfast table reading the paper to see what stupid politically driven things man has done yet again?

Regarding intelligence Steven Hawking does calculus in his head. Thats enough for me; he is brilliant. That doesn’t mean outside of physics he necessarily “knows”. A common physician knows far more about the human body and probably has an IQ 40 points below Hawking.
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see that there are lots of perilous issues many driven by TPTB.
@Kevin2…
“Hawking does calculus in his head.”
Ever heard of an idiot savant?
I’m only being a little tongue-in-cheek here.
Also….hi IQ does not not necessarily indicate wisdom. Nor does an advanced college degree.
I agree. No doubt Hawking is brilliant in physics.
I stated.
“That doesn’t mean outside of physics he necessarily “knows”.”
Calculus in your head……..that is a lot to organize.
I know a few brilliant people, but in matters of life and the real world they are all pretty much dumber than a bag of hammers, is interesting really,
I don’t take anything away from his mathematical brilliance. I just have problems with his moral compass and his apparent lack of practical, common sense.
I’ve come across a lot of people with advanced college degrees who couldn’t find their own ass with a flashlight and both hands.
Hawking pretty much fits into that category.
Agreed, lets have NASA eject him into space…
Oh wait a minute,
NASA needs a Russian rocket to do that,,,,
I hate to say this, quadriplegics in wheelchairs, able to communicate ineffectively, are not the sanest of people.
All the things he says can happen, but will they? We are surely polluting the planet and TPTB are out of control. Today. As for technology, after working in IP for 24 years, I am less than impressed. What happiness did it bring? Interesting, but my happiest times were outdoors enjoying nature. What can beat going camping with my mom and son? Gardening with a grandchild? Going with mom fishing on the Kenai River in Alaska? Canoeing with my parents? Fishing in the ocean for snapper with my dad?
Who knows whether 62 people will continue their reign? Whatever.
“Leave earth before the ruling class destroys it”
Odds of any significant groups leaving earth — close to zero
Odds of the peasants rising up to destroy the ruling class — pretty high
Man cannot even make it out of near earth orbit.
Too much radiation in the Van Allen belt for a human to survive.
The moon landings were a hoax.
shhhhh!
dont tell them that!
LETS SEE IF WE CAN FILL THE ROCKET WITH POLITICIANS AND LAWYERS !
than sink the mission
FREEDOM REIGNS !!
restore the republic with a rocket full of human waste
Blast them off then hit the self destruct button,,,
Too bad so sad, buh bye
JRS you know they made it to the moon . the tin foil capsule protected them from the van allen radiation belts. Even though in 69 they didn’t know anything about them. I agree it was a big hoax to secure funding.
What if all the other planets at one time supported life and ours was the one where they sent all the dummest from the others,,,,
LMFAO
“What if all the other planets at one time supported life and ours was the one where they sent all the dummest from the others,,,,”
LOL
now that would explain a lot of things
Sat, you answered a multitude of questions…
But who really knows???
Where, Why, When, Who, What made humanity?
The question that makes one really think…
Eyes open, no fear…
Hawkins was predicted to die a long, long time ago because of his physical ailments. Do you think perhaps, he is being kept alive because God is merciful patient and kind? Well, I do. Here is a wish that this “beautiful mind” can find the origins of all the truths he’s sought throughout his physically limited life. To the one who sits in Sir Isaac Newton’s chair, nothing but a prayer from me.
What about Fukishima and the Gulf of Mexico oilwell explosion?? Were these natural events, it’s not clear to me that they were. PBS’s Nova says 80% of the krill is gone in the Pacific Ocean. Reports are increasing as to the level of die off of Pacific species. Death in the Gulf also as highly toxic Corexit coats the floor of the Gulf. Seems like an early kill off humanity step, look at how many humans depend on ocean food to survive. More business for corporate food manipulators.
Aljamo, it is called the 6th Extinction and it is here, now. I am reinforcing my food forest to good effect. Taking care of the soil, for plants, and wildlife follows. I am seeing apex predators. This week a hawk grabbed one of my favorite little rabbits right in front of me. It was magnificant.
i just can’t figger out how we got alll these reports of fish/birds/seals/starfish dieing in mass numbers, yet my brother works at a fish plant in coos bay, or, and he says they still got lots of fish coming into the plant….guess i got to make a trip up there my damn SELF, so i KNOW what’s going on. i spent lots of time in tidepools/clamming/crabbing when i grew up there…nothing makes much sense any more when it comes to the pacific…sumthin’ aint addin’ up!
BCOD,
Coos Bay, no kidding? I was born 17 miles away in Bandon by the Sea.
We lived in Bandon when we first moved to Oregon.
Great place. Back then there was very little work to be found. Ended up in Eugene, then the Portland area.
Oregon was good to us. Too bad the NY liberals came and screwed things up.
check this video of the Oregon coast, short but fantastic. (You too, Skeptic, Or. coast, right?),
ht tp://www.homesnacks.net/if-youre-from-oregon-this-will-be-the-most-jaw-dropping-thing-you-see-all-day-guaranteed-123902/
you mean calipornia liberals….i knew LOTS of ’em back then(40-50 years ago)..i got lots of relatives in portland. IT was a nice place too, back then.
BCOD,
California money was the worst, they bought everything up paying more than asking price using money from California real estate. Prices went so high. Coming home wasn’t a real option coming out of Texas. Yes, liberal too.
Ketchupondemand,
HOME
it’s heaven if you’re an outdoors hunter/fisherman type…or, at least it WAS…i’m afraid fukushima has killed THAT golden goose…i always planned to retire there, but now that it’s closer to happening, i’m not lookin’ at the pacific coast any more…and it’s turning sooo liberal, i hear….never has been any jobs up there. last time i lived there in 81-82, i worked at a VW dealership in coos bay, and when that fell apart, it was back to so cal for good….well, it aint been THAT “good”, and this liberalism is spreading like a disease. i still own a house in lakeside with my brothers, but someday it’s gonna be underwater!
BCOD,
I was up in Seattle a few years back and trying to find something on the coast for retirement… could not get a deal to go through. Then Fukushima. We nuked Japan and now Japan has us on the long term nuke plan.
My aunt lived in Lakeside for a few years. They moved to five acres in the hills outside Eugene.
Now I know I was lucky not to get a home on the coast. I liked Pacific Beach. Had offer and acceptance on a modest little place, but the people backed out and kept the property. Sigh. Home.
I have a pretty place in the NM mountains. If I am being nuked, I don’t know it.
i delivered newspapers for half of my childhood, so i knew damn near everybody in lakeside in the 60’s and 70’s….all those people on the coast might just be very sorry, SOMEday….might.
BCOD
This is exactly why i take ALL MEDIA with a grain of salt,
Alt media, just as MSM has an agenda, the truth lies somewhere in the middle, but from personal experience and first hand conversations i know for a fact that almost ALL of what is put out there is total BS crap from BOTH sides. None of them are being honest or truthful but are in fact trying to manipulate their audience. ALL MEDIA,
So chew on that, then go get some salmon jerky to gnaw on to cleanse your palate, because even that isnt as odious as the crap were being fed.
@buttcrackofdoom….
I spend a week in Coos Bay back in the early 90’s. I really liked that area. Beautiful country.
Two things here.
1. Habitable planets don’t exactly grow on trees in case you didn’t notice. Even if you found one, in a best case scenario you’re shooting a probe at it full of genetic material and incubators, and hoping that in 10,000 years it actually gets there, in one piece… LANDS in one piece… the stuff all actually works… and THEN the babies don’t choke to death on alien spoons laying randomly about the landscape. Or get eaten. Or play host to the most amazing viruses in the history of ever. Or… on and on.
See this here… relying on a “replacement planet” thing… and then doing all the bad shit same as usual while singing “don’t worry be happy”… yeah bad plan. Pretty sure we don’t got a replacement planet. Pretty sure we will never have one. I’m just saying is all.
2. In October of last year, Hawking warned scientists at the European Center for Nuclear Research (CERN) about the potential for the Higgs Boson “God Particle” to initiate “catastrophic vacuum decay” — the formation of a quantum bubble that expands at the speed of light and could decimate the entire universe
Proof that advanced alien societies either do not exist, or exist only in miniscule numbers… throughout the ENTIRE UNIVERSE by the way.
Because if it CAN be fucked up… and someone has the technology TO fuck it up… and there are billions of “someones” (societies) AVAILABLE to fuck it up… someone would have fucked it up already.
The Earth is flat and ‘they’ don’t want you to know. Space, universe, planets, satellites do not exist. Fake Fraud, Bullshit, Nukes Do Not Exist.
Let’s get back to reality people. No one here is leaving earth. Let’s focus on stuff that is real. We are gonna have to face the music someday. Watching the weather on tv. These people act like we can’t deal with snow. Please maybe the people in the mid Atlantic coast can’t. I don’t sweat it. People are running out to get their snow machines serviced. Are they stupid I fix my own parts are cheap labor isn’t. I will be honest though I don’t use the thing really. I can shovel 3 ft deep snow faster. I bought a bag of rock salt and a new shovel last month. Can never understand why people wait till last minute to get the stuff they need. if you can’t do the job without the machine then you are out of shape. They got doctors on the news telling people to take it easy and not over do it shoveling snow. Is society that out of shape jeez
Something in the milk ain’t clean. Japan is up 950 pts this mourning after steadily being in the red for a week or so. Watch out.
Dead cat bounce before the snow storm collapse

‘Hawking died years ago”, that makes way too sense and very believable. Thanks for posting.
TPTB know no limits..
way too MUCH sense..
This is a GREAT idea!
wonder if we can talk all the elite and politicos into taking the first journey
than we sabotage the whole mission
were finally FREE again!
Viva la revolution
Best headline on Drudge this week:
“‘WEINER’ Sticks Out at film fest…”
And these are the people that are associated with hillary, yet liberals love her, there is no intelligent life on this planet, beam me up Scotty
Used to have that “Beam me up, Scotty” poster on my sewing room wall. 🙂
I did like Walowitz’s impersonation of Hawking on Big Bang.
Are they gonna cut the east coast power and do a kill off then blame it on the ice and not rescue help people cus of blizzard or is harp radio waves just cooking my brain
And here it was 60 degrees in central park on Christmas
I found a new use of the grease drippings from sausage bacon ect just save in a can dip a paper towel in it and use to start wood stove or fire place
You can do that with bacon grease as well but I keep mine mostly for puttin’ in the green beans or frying my eggs in.
If you havent already done so, bounce on over to infowars and watch the piece on AJs interview with Louis Farrakahn, it really is good, it challenges a lot of the perceptions that are put out about him, and he makes perfect sense,
We all have our own views, we all come from different walks of life, the reality is we are all brothers and sisters under the God of our own understanding and we are being played by the worlds elite, an elite that includes boners like Hawking,,,
So do yourselves a favor and go watch the interview, open your minds and put on the thinking caps, listen and comprehend what these men discuss.
We have been ruining the planet for a long time now. It does not take a lot of mental power to figure out that mankind will have to leave it in the future.
Hawking is the longest surviving ALS sufferer?……by some three decades?…..I think not……the guy in the photo here is not the Stephen Hawking of my youth……I’ve buried a couple friends due to ALS….and it does not tarry in its devouring.
Hawking is a global warming fanatic, loves Al Gore and universal healthcare, all of which at least makes America unsafe for humanity.
Hawkins is an idiot
Lol, Stephen Hawking died in the late 80’s early 90’s. His book is most likely fraudulent as well.
I enjoy a good fiction story.
Adam’s (man’s) dominion is the land. Hold your ground.
Nobody has gotten through the firmament. The globalists are full of lies.
