bngenoh,

.. was precipitated by the Atlantean's own crystal technology attaining sentience.

i either missed this part or have forgotten all about it. would you happen to know which transcript discusses this ?

 

[Nienna]

There is this in Session 941119:

Q: (T) Who created the structures on the moon that Richard
Hoagland has discovered?
A: Atlanteans.
Q: (T) What did they use these structures for?
A: Energy transfer points for crystalline power/symbolism as in
monuments or statuary.
Q: (T) What statuary are you referring to?
A: Example is face.
Q: (T) What power did these crystals gather?
A: Sun.
Q: (T) Was it necessary for them to have power gathering
stations on Mars and the Moon. Did this increase their
power?
A: Not necessary but it is not necessary for you to have a
million dollars either. Get the correlation? Atlanteans were
power hungry the way your society is money hungry.
Q: (T) Was the accumulation of this power what brought
about their downfall?
A: Yes.
Q: (T) Did they lose control of this power?
A: It overpowered them the same way your computers will
overpower you.
Q: (V) Is it similar to them gaining a life and intelligence of
their own?
A: Yes.
Q: (L) You mean these crystalline structures came to life, so
to speak?
A: Yes.
Q: (L) And then what did they do?
A: Destroyed Atlantis.
Q: (L) But I thought that Atlantis was destroyed because of
the close passage of another body of the solar system?
A: Was damaged but recovered.
Q: (L) So Atlantis was damaged by a close passage of Mars
or whatever and then recovered from that damage, is that
correct?
A: Part of landmass, but not all, was destroyed.
Q: (L) So, how many separate destructions did Atlantis
experience?
A: Three.
Q: (L) One was caused by the close passage of Mars?
A: Yes. And comets.
Q: (L) Was Mars and the comets loosely interactive?
A: Yes.
Q: (L) And the second was caused by what?
A: Venus.
Q: (L) And the third and final destruction was caused by
what?
A: Crystals.
Q: (T) Are the crystals still active?
A: Bermuda triangle.
Q: (L) I thought that was a myth?
A: No.
Q: (L) And what does that crystal do? Is it continuously
active?
A: No. Erratic.
Q: (L) Is it still active in the sense of being a conscious or
sentient entity?
A: No.
Q: (L) What activates it?
A: Many factors.
Q: (L) And when it is activated, what does it do?
A: Transdimensional window is blasted open.
Q: (L) Say a person was sailing along in the Bermuda Triangle
and the window was blasted open and these people passed
through or were engulfed in it or whatever, in what condition
would they find themselves?
A: Something akin to suspended animation.
Q: (L) Would they be conscious of their state of suspended
animation or would their consciousness also be suspended?
A: Either or.
Q: (L) Do they stay in this state forever, or do they come
back out, or do they come out somewhere else?
A: Open. All are possible. Same thing happened to
Philadelphia experiment participants.
Q: (L) If an individual were in this interdimensional state of
suspended animation, does this mean they are stuck there
forever?
A: Maybe.
Q: (L) Can they not die, is that what you are saying?
A: To them they may perceive something like waiting for
millions of years.
Q: (L) Is there no one or no way to rescue them from this
state?
A: Why do you think those sailors were hopelessly insane?
Q: (L) Besides the crystal in the Bermuda Triangle, are any of
the others still active?
A: Yes.
Q: (T) Does the government know about them?
A: Semi.
Q: (L) Where are the others located?
A: Off Japan; in Brazil; in Ural mountains of Russia; North and
South Poles.
Q: (T) Are the ones on the Moon and Mars active also?
A: Yes.
Q: (V) Are they responsible for any of the earthquakes like
the one in Japan?
A: Yes.
Q: (L) If one crystal is found and the technology is
deciphered, and another is found, does it increase the
power...
A: Let us answer this way: If Neanderthals found a 747 would
they know how to use it?
Q: (L) What were the physical dimensions of these crystals
and were they cut or naturally grown?
A: Varied. Were synthetic.
Q: (L) Were they faceted?
A: Yes.
Q: (L) In their faceting, what was the general configuration?
A: Pyramid.
Q: (L) Was that an absolute pyramid with the same
proportions as say, the Great Pyramid at Gizeh?
A: Close.
Q: (L) How large was the largest from base to apex?
A: 5000 feet.
Q: (L) What was the average size?
A: 500 feet.
Q: (L) And was the one that was 5,000 feet tall, is that one
still in existence?
A: Yes.
Q: (L) Where is that one located?
A: 380 miles due East of you?
Q: (L) Some years ago a pilot reported seeing a pyramid near
there in the water...
A: That is just the top sticking out of the ocean floor. It is 90
per cent buried.
Q: (V) In meditation, I saw crystals coming up during Earth
changes. Is this what is going to happen?
A: Yes.
Q: (L) How come this crystal didn't shatter or break up during
the subsidence of Atlantis?
A: Extraordinarily strong. An atomic bomb would not shatter
it. The chain reaction of a thermonuclear explosion would be
absorbed into the crystal and transferred into pure energy.
That relates to the design function.
Q: (L) And then what would happen?
A: Energy dispersal unless focused as engineered by the
Atlanteans.
Q: (L) Where did they get this technology?
A: They evolved it.
Q: (L) They invented it themselves?
A: Yes.
Q: (L) Did they interact with any aliens?
A: Yes.
Q: (L) Did they get any help at all from these extraterrestrials?
A: Yes.
Q: (L) And who were these aliens?
A: Lizards.
Q: (L) What kind of power frequency did these crystals use?
A: Full range.
Q: (T) How many of the crystals have been discovered by the
governments of the world?
A: All.
Q: (T) Are they trying to use them?
A: Pointlessly.
Q: (T) Are they trying?
A: Maybe.
Q: (T) Is that why they backed off from the Moon and
stopped the space program?
A: No. Government doesn't understand technology.
Q: (T) Have they backed off from their activities on the
Moon?
A: Open.
Q: (T) Are the crystals on Mars why they want to get there so
badly?
A: Yes.
Q: (T) Because of the crystals or because of what is stored in
the monuments?
A: Neither.
Q: (T) Why do they want to get to Mars?
A: Explore.
Q: (T) Are the top echelons of the human race all the fools
that they seem?
A: Subjective.
Q: (L) Can we utilize that crystalline shape to generate
electricity?
A: Possible and has been done.
Q: (L) Is it complicated?
A: Yes.

DARPA released a video recently of their robot stomping impressively up a flight of stairs. If you’re not familiar, the Robotics Challenge is a competition in which the winning robot(s) will successfully carry out a set of tasks on a disaster simulation course. DARPA’s raising the bar with the course, requiring the robots to, among other things, drive a vehicle, climb a ladder, and identify and fix a leaky pipe.

[...]

DARPA’s high-steppin’ robot in the video isn’t complete. A torso, arms, and a head will be added so entrants can climb that ladder and seal that pipe leak. The course is a seriously difficult challenge and most likely it’ll be a few years before a robot raises its arms – or arachnoid appendages – in victory. But one thing is clear, DARPA is serious about making that happen as soon as possible.

Can you say "hello comets:"

U.S. Army wants to give war robots more power to 'make their own decisions'

Trucks that 'drive themselves' already under test
Military is testing 'autonomous' robots that follow soldiers
Robots will use laser-imaging to build their own 3D image of the world
Will be 'supervised' by soldiers

Armies of robots including dog-like creatures walking on four legs and huge lumbering trucks are the stuff of science fiction - specifically, bleak films such as The Terminator series.

But the U.S. military not only wants more robots - it wants more 'autonomous' robots, robots free to make their own decisions on the battlefield.

A new robot is described as 'like a dog' that follows troops on the battlefield - and future models will use technologies such as laser imaging to build their own picture of the world.

Every once in a while I Bing "military robots" and the pictures and videos that pop up are getting ever scarier. Don't forget that the word "drones" has been hijacked now to mean robots, too.

Yep, Orwell's body is probably shaking in it's grave:

Up, up, and very far away.

At least, that’s the U.S. military’s eventual goal for Phantom Eye — a ginormous, hydrogen-powered uber-drone. The vehicle, manufactured by Boeing and designed as a huge surveillance tool, performed its first test flight at NASA’s Dryden Flight Research Center last week, the company announced on Monday.

But Phantom Eye, which boasts a mammoth 150-foot wingspan, isn’t soaring to great heights just quite yet. During last week’s test, shown in the video above, the mega-drone reached an altitude of 4,080 feet and stayed airborne for a total of 28 minutes, reaching a cruising speed of 62 knots.

That’s a far cry from what the military wants the drone to eventually do. Phantom Eye is supposed to reach a maximum altitude of 65,000 feet and stay aloft for up to 96 hours — that is, four whole days — at speeds reaching 150 knots. That would make the flying spy the biggest and longest-loitering drone the United States has. (Don’t worry, it’s not armed.)

The Phantom Eye’s size means the drone can be loaded up with a whopping 450 lbs. of sensors and cameras — which will come in handy for toting the military’s forthcoming spy gear, like Gorgon Stare, designed to spy on “city-size” areas, or the Army’s ARGUS sensor, which collects the equivalent of 79.8 years of video footage each day. Combine that capacity with a lengthy loiter time, and you’ve got a high-flying spy system that can peek on entire cities for days at a time.

[...]

... Still, it’s a little unclear what value a gigantic drone has, given that Congress is pushing the Air Force to deploy giant spy-blimps, which can lug even more spy gear while loitering for longer periods of time. But the blimps are technically complex and expensive, and the Air Force is getting cold feet about them.

Whether blimp-crazed politicians like it or not, Phantom Eye might turn out to be the military’s long-distance surveillance champ.

The shift towards unmanned flight is interesting, maybe "they" are preparing for a time when the skies will be too dangerous for pilots, not that they care about the pilots who fly their death machines, but interesting nonetheless.

Spy on a whole city for days at a time, that sounds like a very overt control grid to me.

(Don’t worry, it’s not armed.)

For now! Eventually they will trick them out with weapons capabilty-the first Predator drones were un-armed as well and were supposed to be purely surveilance craft-something this size could be outfitted with a number of hard points for weapons and carrying heavier ordnance. Sky-net anyone?

Yeah, but they don't really need to arm these guys seeing as their function would be primarily reconnaissance and surveillance of the farm. They will be the eye in the sky while the bombs would be located anywhere in the world considering that hypersonic weapons have been successfully tested:

For a test of a hypersonic weapon flying at eight times the speed of sound and nailing a target thousands of miles away, this was a relatively simple demonstration. But it worked, and now the military is a small step closer to its dream of hitting a target anywhere on Earth in less than an hour.

Arming them would add needless complexity, seeing as they are already having trouble just getting it to fly.

Sky net will probably be an unintended consequence of the development of the NSA's supercomputers.

Ahhh yes-but "needless complexity" is one of the MICs ways of diverting funds into their war chest- they will posit they might NEED to arm them at some point...they have already wasted BILLIONS on projects that have never seen the light of day or have failed miserably-after all-it's not THEIR money they are wasting, so spare no expense-no matter how absurd. I was IN the military and saw first hand how much money can be wasted-for instance a light bulb on one of our control panels (I am not exaggerating) would cost $200.00-you could get a similar one at Radio Shack for $1.50-of course it was not MIL spec so couldn't be used in our equipment. We routinely "cas repped" tools and materials (i.e. stored them in Davey Jones locker-dumped them over the side into the ocean) so we could get new ones. This was encouraged. It matters not one whit they have something that would make a thing redundant- there's money to be made by a lot of various concerns so they will "green light" such a project-whether or not it ultimately proves useful

I forgot about that aspect tschai, I was projecting common sense to an illogical cabal, sigh, thanks for setting the record straight.

It’s only been three months since the Pentagon’s latest robot — the one able to staple paperwork and answer phone calls with a single autonomous arm — demonstrated some of those amazing skills. Now, the freaky humanoid ‘bot is back. And this time, he has two arms. And a name.

[...]

Both of Robbie’s arms move with seven degrees of freedom, along with a rotating wrist and multiple, dexterous fingers. Those fingers also incorporate pressure sensors, allowing Robbie to touch and sense its environs in a manner akin to humans. And take a good look at the ‘bot’s head. That gaping mouth is actually a LIDAR camera. Behind those beady eyes lurks a stereo-vision camera. And what look like ears are, in fact, microphones.

Trickle down technologies.

Reading this thread it just dawned on me that this whole Robot - Drone business might be in light of their plan to go underground. You would still want to watch - control what is happening on the surface and no pilot or other underground would like ot volunteer to go outside. Just let machines do the dirty work. FWIW.

That's my reasoning as well, JFK:

DARPA hopes to create real-life "Avatars" in the near future.

The New York Times has revealed that President Barack Obama hosts a "Terror Tuesday" secure PowerPoint-style teleconference attended weekly by his top 100 intelligence and security officials. After the meeting he goes through a "nominating process" by viewing the "baseball cards" showing suspected terrorists, before personally deciding who is to be assassinated by drones; he also, in some cases, explicitly approves killing the suspect's family if it should be in the vicinity of the strike.

No one should be surprised by what the article reveals. The journalists describe a president "quite comfortable with the use of force on behalf of the United States" whose drone wars have increased in number and lethality since he ascended to the Oval Office. As a result, it has been plausibly suggested that killing by machine will become the low-intensity warfare option of the future for every nation that can afford the technology, following the lead of the United States.

Machines creating machines to conquer other machines, madness.

With this:

Chinese researchers have unveiled a system that allows users to control drones with their thoughts. The technology was designed to help handicapped people, but could have ample applications in other fields as well.

A video posted to YouTube by researchers at Zhejiang University shows how the system, called Flybuddy2, works. And it appears that you don’t have to be a nuclear scientist to build one. All you need is an EEG headset with a Bluetooth connection to a laptop – plus a quadrotor Parrot AR Drone linked to the computer.

“The computer can receive EEG signals via Bluetooth and convert them to specific commands to control the AR drones through WiFi,” a presenter explains.

It'll be just like a video game, and that has already been inculcated into people, it's not much of a cultural shock though, the introduction of such technologies that is, all part of the plan I guess.
