The Mars One colony project raises the question of pregnancy on Mars.

UPDATE: I am going to sleep now as I have been up all night answering as many questions as I can, but I will try to answer more when I wake up. I am meeting with my friend later in the week and will ask more pointed questions. I will also think about how to get more tangible evidence. I will also consider asking him to help me with this and come clean with people to share what he knows, although he has been very reluctant to do this in the past. Thank you for your open mindedness and please check back for more soon.

I am posting this in r/conspiracy because it is likely to receive a higher calibre of intelligent questions and less mocking. I have nothing to hide, but my knowledge is somewhat limited. So I will do my best to share what I do know.

My best friend is someone who was born into a religious cult of interconnecting families that have significant money and influence. I'm worried if I say which country, it may identify them specifically to TPTB if they are watching this, but I can say it is a wealthy European country that is highly respected for many reasons.

The religion/cult he was born and raised in is one of twelve major organisations that, while having their own agendas, work towards common goals with the understanding that it benefits all of them. Representatives from each meet at meetings "around the table" (may be figurative rather than literal, I've not clarified with him).

He once had a high position of responsibility in his organisation, and lost that position. He now has nothing to do with the organisation and is attempting to learn how to live as "one of us" in the world without all of the money and connections he once had.

I must stress, I was sceptical for a long time until I saw/learned so much about who he really is/was, it was irrational to explain it away by any other means.

I need to be careful about specifics, but I can do my best to answer what I can share. He does NOT approve of me sharing any of the information we discuss. Even though he has left the org, he does not see why it is important for people to know about what is really going on. I do and still continue to disagree with him on this (I feel he is still seeing things through the lens of the world view of his upbringing - he is gradually getting better at learning to see how we "regular" people see the world).

By the way, I only used the word Illuminati in the title to get your attention. I don't know what else to refer to it as other than his actual group's name, which I cannot do, but I understand that none of them call themselves Illuminati and it's a bit of an in-joke for them to be labelled such.

He has confirmed to me that many things we suspect; 9/11 and 7/7 were indeed false flags, population reduction is a huge agenda for all involved around the table and the Georgia Guidestones are the real deal. The oddities at Denver Airport are also the real deal - their sense of humour is very fucked up and they enjoy hiding things in plain sight.

They have occult beliefs, and this extends to beyond just belief. There is a supernatural element to a lot of what they do. Child abduction, sexual abuse and ritual sacrifice are extremely common (look at the amounts of missing people/children who just never come back or are never found again).

He has, regretfully, been involved in activities that, while not sexual, did indeed harm and (from what I gather) kill people as a part of rituals, but that at the time he "never thought anything of it", having been raised to believe in no moral code other than fierce loyalty to other members of the family/religion. I am slowly helping him learn what morality is and why it is important - this process has been very much like trying to explain morality to a small child. It is difficult and slow progress, but he is making progress. This fact (about horrific ritual events) is the one thing he is coming to regret the most about his past, now that he is learning to empathise outward from his own small circle of loved ones.

Their medical and technological level of knowledge is decades if not centuries ahead of ours (I saw him go from having an extremely debilitating health issue that is non-treatable to being 100% healthy in a manner impossible for what we know about his particular illness).

They believe their occult knowledge and global control comes down to them from from the ruling classes of the ancient world, starting in Ancient Mesopotamia. (I have heard my friend speak these languages with other people on phone calls, languages which cannot come from anywhere else.)

They honestly believe they are genetically superior to us and see themselves as shepherds watching over sheep. We are animals to them. Animals to be exploited and used to keep the global economic system running so they can enjoy the cream of our labour.

One more thing. This may be the information that will get me into trouble the most, as I am using the direct term they are actually referred to as. There is another group around the table and they are commonly referred to as the 13th. Everyone else around the table is afraid of the power that the 13th holds. That should give you an indication of what we're dealing with here - the guys that attempt to control our global events with all the money and power that have no qualms about raping and murdering children, and there's another group of people that even THEY are afraid of? Yeah, it's that scary.

There are a few things about the 13th that I know. I want to share, but they are a bit more outlandish than everything else I've already said. While the rest of the 12 fear them, the 13th don't have control over them all. From what I've been able to ascertain, there is an uneasy level of acceptance that the 13th don't step in for the little stuff and allow the 12 to get on with most of it. They only step in for the big stuff. I don't know what their priorities are, but when everyone else around the table notices that you /do not appear to age or die/, I can only imagine what you must spend your time on.

This is the briefest introduction I can give to hopefully encourage people to want to ask me more. I can promise you, I am not lying about this, and neither is my friend. I know for a fact that a) he was very, very wealthy, b) he was raised in a very strange belief system by very wealthy people and c) at least THESE people themselves believe their history and level of influence - whether it is a pseudohistory and they overstate their own influence or not, I cannot say (but it is a possibility). After all, people with money and power colluding together to keep their money and power is not all that outlandish, if you think about it.

I have yet to ask him about the Boston incident(s), but it's high on my list of things to ask about next time I see him.

Ask me anything. I will do my best. I can also ask my friend questions, and he has given me free reign to ask him anything since we "crossed the rubicon" two years ago - although this will take time as I will have to do so in a manner that does not make it appear to him that I am mining him for information that I am being asked about from others.

Edit: I am a philosophy graduate. The truth is important to me. I do not want to spread misinformation. I can only pass on what I have learned and continue to learn from what I believe to be a primary source. But he is also someone I love and trust, who also loves and trusts me. However I believe some things are too important to be kept secret. Also: PLEASE DO NOT GIVE ME KARMA. I DO NOT WANT IT. I AM ENTIRELY MOTIVATED BY DISSEMINATING WHAT I FEEL TO BE IMPORTANT INFORMATION. DO NOT REWARD ME AND GIVE CYNICS A REASON TO CRITICISE ME.

Brian Kirk, que já dirigiu episódios de Game of Thrones e Boardwalk Empire, vai comandar Passengers, sci-fi que está nos planos de Keanu Reeves desde 2010. As informações são do Deadline. Na trama, uma nave transporta milhares de passageiros para uma colônia distante. Uma falha em uma das câmaras de sono faz com que um dos passageiros (Reeves) acorde 90 anos antes do que os outros. Sob a perspectiva de envelhecer e morrer sozinho, ele decide acordar outro passageiro, transformando a ficção científica em uma improvável história de amor. Jon Spaihts (Prometheus) assina o roteiro. A produção é da Wayfare ...

All three may be capable of supporting life as we know it, scientists say.

“The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars,
But in ourselves, that we are underlings.”

Thus Cassius speaking to Brutus in Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, trying to convince him that what happens to us comes not from some malign fate but from our own actions. I’m sure he’s right, too, but I admit there are days when I wonder. For the stars seem aligned in such a way that whenever there is a significant news conference about exoplanets, I have a schedule conflict. This is true yet again today, so that I’m writing before the NASA-hosted news briefing and will have to set this up to post automatically after the embargo expires.

Here, though, are the main points. We have found Kepler 62f, an interesting world about 1.4 times the size of Earth and most likely rocky. When you add up the other known facts about the planet, the attention builds. Discovered through Kepler data in the constellation Lyra, this world receives about half the heat and radiation that the Earth does, while orbiting its star every 267.3 days. The University of Washington’s Eric Agol lays out the case for this intriguing planet:

“The planets this small that we have found until now have been very close to their stars and much too hot to be possibly habitable. This is the first one Kepler has found in the habitable zone that satisfies this small size. Kepler 62f is the smallest size and the most promising distance from its star, which by these measures makes it the most similar exoplanet to Earth that has been found by Kepler.”

The best guess — and remember that we lack knowledge of Kepler 62f’s mass and density — is that we’re looking at a rocky world with an atmosphere, but Agol doubts it’s a thick gaseous envelope like Neptune’s. We seem to be looking at a planet a bit larger and somewhat cooler than the Earth, and it’s not alone in this system, where four other planets are known to exist. One of these, Kepler 62e, is a fellow traveler in the star’s habitable zone. It’s about 1.61 times the size of Earth and orbits every 122.4 days, giving it 20 percent more stellar flux than the Earth.

Image: The newly discovered planets named Kepler 62e and f are super-Earths in the habitable zone of a distant sun-like star. The largest planet in the image, Kepler 62f, is farthest from its star and covered by ice. Kepler 62e, in the foreground, is nearer to its star and covered by dense clouds. Closer in orbits a Neptune-size ice giant with another small planet transiting its star. Both habitable-zone planets may be capable of supporting life. Credit: David A. Aguilar (CfA)

Two small super-Earths in the habitable zone make for understandable excitement. Modeling at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) suggests that both these planets are water worlds, completely covered with a global ocean. Might they have life? Lisa Kaltenegger (Max Planck Institute for Astronomy/CfA) speculates:

“These planets are unlike anything in our solar system. They have endless oceans. There may be life there, but could it be technology-based like ours? Life on these worlds would be under water with no easy access to metals, to electricity, or fire for metallurgy. Nonetheless, these worlds will still be beautiful blue planets circling an orange star — and maybe life’s inventiveness to get to a technology stage will surprise us.”

Kepler 62 is a class K star somewhat smaller and cooler than the Sun. According to the CfA’s models, Kepler 62e should be cloudier than the Earth, while the cooler Kepler 62f would need to take advantage of the greenhouse effect from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to keep it warm enough for the ocean to remain liquid. Harvard’s Dimitar Sasselov notes in this CfA news release that discoveries like this raise the prospect of other stars with not one but two planets in the habitable zone. That conjures up what until recently was our view of the Solar System, when not so many decades ago we used to believe Venus and Mars might each be habitable worlds.

I think Sasselov is right to linger over this thought. These may be water worlds and most likely would not develop technological civilizations, but imagine a system where two worlds with continents and oceans, worlds much like Earth, existed close to each other in the habitable zone, each highly visible to the other. Surely the inhabitants of planets like these, with the prospect of a truly colonizable world this close, would be impelled to make the crossing.

The other planets around this star? Kepler 62 b, c and d are 1.31, 0.54 and 1.95 times the size of the Earth, respectively, all orbiting the star too tightly to be in the habitable zone. For more, see this University of Washington news release. Kaltenegger and Sasselov’s work is to be published in The Astrophysical Journal, while Agol is second author of the discovery paper published online in Science today as Borucki et al., “Kepler-62: A Five-Planet System with Planets of 1.4 and 1.6 Earth Radii in the Habitable Zone” (abstract).
