That's Linda on the left, looking remarkably unfazed despite being leashed by a militant gorilla.
Tonight I began reading "The Hunt for Zero Point," a nominally "mainstream" examination of secret technology, UFOs and antigravity. Are flying saucers of terrestrial invention? Is the entire "alien" conception an elaborate guise perpetrated by the military-industrial-mythological complex? I return to these questions obsessively, like Kafka's intrepid ice-skater practicing "where it is forbidden."
My best guess at this point is that scientists have indeed cracked the "gravity barrier," winning the attention of at least one otherworldly (although not necessarily extraplanetary) intelligence. Maybe there really is an alien "pact" of some sort...an interface probably defying trite political dynamics.
Who's in control? And how to reconcile "visible" events such as the Iraq conflict with this larger, veiled reality? Microcosmic gods vs. greedy bureaucrats: neither possibility is appealing.
Gravity modification could be at the very heart of our civilization, but compartmentalized until reduced to a thin opiate smoke...
