Digital holographic microscopy (DHM) has been applied extensively to in vitro studies of different living cells. In this paper, we present a novel application of an off-axis DHM system to in vivo study of the development of zebrafish embryos. Even with low magnification microscope objectives, the morphological structures and individual cell types inside developing zebrafish embryos can be clearly observed from reconstructed amplitude images. We further study the dynamic process of blood flow in zebrafish embryos. A calibration routine and post-processing procedures are developed to quantify physiological parameters at different developmental stages. We measure quantitatively the blood flow as well as the heart rate to study the effects of elevated D-glucose (abnormal condition) on circulatory and cardiovascular systems of zebrafish embryos. To enhance our ability to use DHM as a quantitative tool for potential high throughput screening application, the calibration and post-processing algorithms are incorporated into an automated processing software. Our results show that DHM is an excellent non-invasive imaging technique for visualizing the cellular dynamics of organogenesis of zebrafish embryos in vivo.

Jalandhar: Condemning ban on wearing turbans by school students in France, a Sikh organisation today demanded the Centre raise the issue during French President Francois Hollande`s upcoming visit, starting tomorrow.
"Ban on wearing turban by school students in France has not only hurt the sentiments of the community but it has been also halting the education of students there," France-based Dastar Action Committee chief Gurdayal Singh said in a press conference.
He demanded President Pranab Mukherjee and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to raise the issue before Hollande.

On September 13, 1939, a rather extraordinary man sat down to write. It was his first entry in a secret journal that would eventually encompass six years of his life, ten volumes, 861 pages, and over 500 newspaper clippings. That man was Friedrich Kellner. And his diary has ignited a controversy about the role of ordinary Germans in the Holocaust.
Prior to World War II, Kellner campaigned against Adolf Hitler and the Nazis while working for the Social Democratic Party of Germany. After Hitler came to power, Kellner refused to join the Nazi Party. Instead, he took a position as a mid-level justice inspector in and started his now-famous diary which he entitled Mein Widerstand, or My Opposition.
"I could not fight the Nazis in the present, as they had the power to still my voice, so I decided to fight them in the future. I would give the coming generations a weapon against any resurgence of such evil. My eyewitness account would record the barbarous acts, and also show the way to stop them." ~ Friedrich Kellner, 1968
"The decisive thing is that he is not an intellectual, he is an ordinary employee sitting in the provinces who reads the newspapers. He is full of anger about what is happening." ~ Sascha Feuchert, Head of the Research Unit for Holocaust Literature at Giessen UniversityThrough "personal conversations, news reports and keen observation," Kellner educated himself on the horrifying crimes committed by the Nazis. His diary is chilling to read. Check out these two entries...
"In the last few days Jews from our district have been removed. From here it was the families Strauss and Heinemann. I heard from a reliable source that all Jews were taken to Poland and would be murdered by SS brigades." ~ September 16, 1942
"Ten years in the penitentiary for a 'radio crime.' According to the newspaper that was too little for the chief justice. He sent back the verdict to the original court and demanded the death penalty. Just think: the death sentence for listening to a foreign broadcast on the radio." ~ April 14, 1943Of course, I would be remiss if I didn't mention the most infamous entry. It's dated October 28, 1941 and is at the heart of much of the recent controversy.
"A soldier on vacation here said he witnessed a terrible atrocity in the occupied parts of Poland. He watched as naked Jewish men and women were placed in front of a long deep ditch and upon the order of the SS were shot by Ukrainians in the back of their heads and they fell into the ditch. Then the ditch was filled with dirt even as he could still hear screams coming from people still alive in the ditch."
That entry in particular has been cited by Holocaust experts as proof that ordinary Germans were privy to the horrors being conducted by the Nazi regime at concentration camps throughout Occupied Europe.
"These diaries ... represent a towering refutation of the well-worn refrain of so many Germans after the war -- 'We knew nothing of the Nazi horrors'." Elan Steinberg, The American Gathering of Holocaust Survivors and their DescendantsKellner's silent opposition did not go unnoticed. He came quite close to being sent off to a concentration camp himself. According to a Nazi official from 1940, "If we want to apprehend people like Kellner we will have to lure them out of their corners and let them incriminate themselves. The time is not ripe for an approach like the one used with the Jews. This can only take place after the war."
Kellner's diary has reopened a longstanding debate among historians about the role of ordinary Germans in the Holocaust. After World War II ended, these people separated themselves from the Nazis by claiming they had no knowledge of the atrocities. Of course, Kellner's diary doesn't necessarily prove anything. Still, it shows that information about war crimes was accessible to his countrymen. They read the same newspapers he did and it's reasonable to assume they heard similar first-hand accounts of the horrors. And yet, they did nothing.
But why? Why didn't more people speak up?
The answer to that mystery may lie in a book written by Milton Mayer in 1955. It analyzed the lives of ten ordinary German Christians during the War and their peculiar relationship with the Nazi government. After World War I and the stupendously wrongheaded Treaty of Versailles, Germany was ruined. As such, the ten men eagerly joined the Nazi party, which seemed to offer economic improvement, a sense of community, and national pride.
The Nazi regime encouraged them to, in essence, become one with the state. Love for their country was carefully manipulated into love for their government. This became an issue of absolute importance. Opposing the state meant one was a traitor to his country and thus, to its people. It led to societal exclusion, which was unthinkable to many civilians. Unfortunately, the alternative was to essentially accept the government's activities as good and righteous. And that meant turning a blind eye to Nazi atrocities or even participating in them.
Mayer's work gives us valuable insights into the nature of fascism and the role it played in causing ordinary people to embrace hatred, violence, and murder. Incidentally, Mayer conducted his interviews eight years after Nazi Germany had fallen. He discovered that the ten men continued to idolize Hitler as a sort of Savior of Germany. They missed the sense of community, security, and national pride. When he asked them what it was like to live under tyranny, they provided a universal response, which informed the title of his book. And what was it called: THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE FREE http://www.guerrillaexplorer.com/2011/10/great-holocaust-mystery.html
Q. Is this dig in Antarctica for real?
As tHe world's exclusive link to the secret U.S. dig in Antarctica and "earth's coolest entertainment," @lantisTV is one of the most creative combinations of fantasy and reality in entertainment today.
Every week tens of thousands of Internet subscribers anxiously await news updates on a fictional archeological dig in Antarctica. World-class archeologists are even submitting their resumes to @lantisTV in hopes of joining the expedition. And educators who "get it" are using @lantisTV as a valuable learning tool to capture the attention of jaded students.
The social mission of @lantisTV is to produce works of imagination and impact that shape the world's vision of reality. Via books, movies, TV, the Web and other media, @lantisTV aims to entertain, enlighten and empower audiences the world over.
This is one story that I really look forward to seeing a good film version of. Most of the film versions of HPL seem pretty schlocky to me, although I haven't actually seen some of the latest crop.
This really sounded like some sort of marketing covert op for the above. But then, we had that weirdness with lake Vostok & evacuations & other unexplicable stuff last year (or was it 2001?).
News From Marrs
Antartica A Nazi Base?
Jim Marrs
An Excerpt From 'Alien Agenda'
With the current mysterious happenings in
Antartica concerning Lake Vostok,
an old theory is being resurrected -- that
German Nazis as early as the 1930s
may have built a secret base at the South Pole.
While this idea undoubtedly will strike most
people as absurb, there is
tantalizing evidence to suggest that something
along this line might have
some truth to it.
Long-standing banking and business connections
allowed high-ranking German
leaders in 1944 to forge a formidable
Nazi-controlled organization for
postwar activities. Author Jim Keith
wrote, "...in researching the shape of
totalitarian controlduring this century, I saw
that the plans of the Nazis
manifestly did not die with the German loss of
World War II. The ideology and
many of the principal players survived and
flourished after the war, and have
had a profound impact on postwar history, and on
events taking place today."
Orvis A. Schmidt, the U.S. Treasury
Department's director of Foreign Funds
Control, in 1945 offered this description of a
Nazi flight-capital program:
"The network of trade, industrial, and cartel
organizations has been
streamlined and intermeshed, not only
organizationally but also by what has
been officially described as `personnel
union.' Legal authority to operate
this organizational machinery has been vested in
the concerns that have
majority capacity in the key industries such as
those producing iron and
steel, coal and basic chemicals. These concerns
have been deliberately welded
together by exchanges of
stock to the point where a handful of men can
make policy and other decisions
that affect us all."
Could one of those "decisions" have been the
creation of a Nazi base
connected to the development of UFOs? While this
notion may superficially
appear to be sheer nonsense, the public record
offers compelling --- if
incomplete --- evidence to support this idea.
One theory is that Martin Bormann and other top
Nazis escaped to South
America and on to a secret base in Antarctica
where they built UFOs so
sophisticated that their secret Nazi empire has
exerted significant control
over world events and governments to this day.
While there can be no question
that the business and financial network created
by Bormann wields a certain
amount of power even today, evidence for the
existence of a major Nazi base
containing UFOs is virtually nonexistent,
consisting primarily of the known
exploration of Antarctica's Queen Maude Land
--- renamed Neuschwabenland by
Germans --- in 1938 and some unverified
statements. Reportedly, German Navy
Grand Admiral Karl Doenitz stated in 1943, "The
German submarine fleet is
proud of having built for the Fuehrer in another
part of the world a
Shangri-La on land, an impregnable fortress."
And it has been reported that
U.S. Admiral Richard Byrd, upon his return from
an expedition to Antarctica
in 1947, stated it was "necessary for the USA to
take defensive actions
against enemy air fighters which come from
the polar regions" and that America could be
"attacked by fighters that are
able to fly from one pole to the other with
incredible speed."
Advancing the idea that the Nazis continually
shipped men and material to the
South Pole throughout the war years, author R.
A. Harbinson wrote, "Regarding
the possibility of the Germans building
self-sufficient underground research
factories in the Antarctic, it has only to be
pointed out that the
underground research centers of Nazi Germany
were gigantic feats of
construction, containing wind tunnels, machine
shops, assembly plants,
launching pads, supply dumps and accommodation
for all who worked there,
including adjoining camps for slaves --- and yet
very few people knew that
they existed."
But, while tales of a secret Nazi base in
Antarctica may appear plausible to
some, the idea that a warm water location at the
South Pole has remained
undiscovered and no one has escaped or deserted
the place in more than 50
years stretched belief to the breaking point in
years past.
But with the new revelations of 60-70 degree
temperature water, magnetic
anomalies suggesting the possiblity of a hidden
city or base and the obvious
backout taking place concerning current events
at the pole, the idea of a
secret base is no longer so far fetched.

Antarctica: A Nazi Base?
An Excerpt From 'Alien Agenda'
By Jim Marrs
the current mysterious happenings in Antartica
concerning Lake Vostok, an old theory is being
resurrected -- that German Nazis as early as the
1930s may have built a secret base at the South
While this idea undoubtedly will strike most
people as absurb, there is tantalizing evidence
to suggest that something along this line might
have some truth to it.
Long-standing banking and business connections
allowed high-ranking German leaders in 1944 to
forge a formidable Nazi-controlled organization
for postwar activities.

There are lines of magnetic force emanating from
the South Magnetic Pole. What is strange about
the North and South Poles is the way in which
the magnetic lines of force move. The magnetic
lines of force originate from a "hole" just off
the coast of Antarctica.
There are Chilean and Peruvian scientists/bases
being near or along the route of UFOs emanating
from inside the Earth. Many UFOs fly directly
south-north along South America. If one draws a
line from South America, through the Antarctic
bases of Chile, etc through the South Pole to
the South Magnetic pole - then you get a
straight line. What's interesting about this
potential "UFO route" is that UFOs coming from
Inside the Earth would end up flying over the
America South Pole base.
However, the line of flight is such that the
only places in the Antarctic where you'd stand a
chance of seeing these UFOs is in the "Weddell
sea" area where South American countries have
their bases and at the Scott Base at the South
The other parts of the UFO route is somewhat
offset from the commonly traveled routes and so
there's little chance of running into UFOs by
accident at any other places. That would explain
why the US Govt doesn't like visitors to the
South Pole base: It's not that the hole is AT or
NEAR the South Pole base (as we originally
thought), but along the route from the real hole
in the oceans off the coast.
Bob Borino, in his article, 'UFO Bases Found in
Antarctica' (Globe, Jan. 18, 1983) quotes from
certain scientists who believe that a
subterranean UFO Base is located beneath the
strange 'Polynya Sea' in the Antarctica's
Weddell Sea region.
Allied pilots
reported seeing "foo fighters" during
the latter stages of the World War II.
These craft appeared and vanished at
incredible speeds and created electrical
and magnetic anomalies when close to
allied aircraft.
Hitler's corpse was
never found. Recent reports of "opened
KGB files" assert that Hitler's bones
were kept and then destroyed by Soviet
intelligence. But the current
incarnation of Russia is a wolf in
sheep's clothing and there is little
faith in the KGB [or FSB, its
"successor"] veracity.
Under "Operation
Paperclip" Nazi scientists and
intelligence officers were integrated
into the military, NASA, and the
intelligence community. Wernher von
Braun is the most famous and is
remembered for being the genius behind
the Saturn rockets. The most infamous
was Reinhard Gehlen, a Major General in
the Nazi Abwehr or intelligence agency.
Gehlen was sponsored by the Dulles
brothers. John Foster Dulles was a
founding member of the CFR and served as
President Eisenhower's Secretary of
State; Allen was a president of the CFR,
and was the Director of Central
Intelligence-- head of the CIA-- when
John F. Kennedy was assassinated. In our sector, we backed trucks up to the former production facilities and hauled off all the documents. Everyone else did the same thing. Some twelve years later the Australians discovered a 16mm film, a technical report, of the German V-7 research project. The V-7 weapons research project involved circular disk-shaped craft. Now, we knew about programs V-1 through V-4, but we had no previous idea about the V-7 program. The information in this documentary seemed to indicate that the Germans built their first operational disk sometime in the early 1940's in the first production facility in Prague. Then they proceeded to expand their design, development and research teams until by the time the Germans were being driven back into Germany, they had nine research facilities, all with projects under testing. They successfully evacuated eight of those facilities out of Germany, along with the scientists and the key people. The ninth facility was blown up. Now, this 16mm film showed some pictures of flying vehicles in operation. We also knew through intelligence, where I was working at the end of the war, that the Germans built eight very large cargo submarines, especially built, and they were all commissioned, launched and proceeded to disappear without a trace. To this day, we have no idea where they went. They are not on the bottom of the ocean or at any port we know of. It's a mystery, but the mystery might have been solved by this Australian documentary film, which shows large German cargo submarines in the Antarctic with ice flows all around them, and crews standing on deck waiting for tie-up at a quay. We have underground information that some of the research facilities in Germany were taken to a place called "New Schwabenland". Now, Germany was called "Schwabenland" before it was called Germany. So, we are talking about "New Germany", and it is located in an area at the South Pole formerly called Queen Maude Land. Back around 1937, we convened an international conference under the League of Nations at the time to decide to restrict new claims to land in Antarctica. At the time, everyone seemed to have a claim except Germany, who had not staked out a claim but only had some research going on down there. The whole thing was designed to keep Germany from making a land claim as the Nazi's were coming to power. We refused to recognize German claims, which were shown on German maps. A couple of years ago, National Geographic showed the German claim on a map for the first time. But, back in 1939, Göring led an expedition to the Antarctic, including a submarine force, and they took construction and digging equipment down there and began excavating a tunnel complex, and this activity might have been going on since that time. If that is the case, it could be a sizable complex today. That may be where the big cargo submarines are. We believe that at least one or more of the disk research facilities were taken to Antarctica. We had information that one was taken to the Amazon, and that another was taken to the north coast of Norway, where there is a strong German population. Those were taken into secretly maintained underground facilities. Before World War II, the Germans had military advisors all over South America, and when we got into the war we pursuaded countries in South America to give up German advisors and accept American ones. Down there, they still prefer the Germans and have never liked us. It is quite possible that some of this material and some of these research facilities were de-centralized to South America as the German empire began to collapse. The big companies like I.G. Farben and the German subsidiary of General Electric opened large subsidiary plants in Rio and Sao Paulo in Brazil, and some of these new facilities became larger that they had been in Germany. So, there would have been support capability for disk research facilities. One has to wonder how much truth there really is to all of this. It appears that some of the craft we see today are nothing more than further developments of German disk technology. So, we may in fact be visited periodically by Germans. One has to wonder how much we are observing is man-made, and how much is truly extraterrestrial technology. Certainly there is some of both, but we don't know what the percentages are. ~Wendelle C.

to the Ptarmigan Project, recording and
analyzing visual and EMF emissions
throughout the Arctic. Looking for
influences to aircraft systems caused by
UFOs, they recorded all disturbances.

early attempts by Vladimir Terzinski to
speak about Nazi flying saucers at the

skeptical. He then reported on two
Kugelblitz failures - the Spitzbergen

near Heligoland. In both cases there was
no doubt to the origin, and the
Americans and British carried away much
of the disk residue.

BRUCE AGNEW AND KEVIN SMITH ON LAKE VOSTOK WE HAVE BEEN DRILLIING A LONG TIME. THEY RECENTLY DISCOVERED SOMETHING METAL IN THE LAKE AND IT BEGAN LEAKING SOMETHIING RADIOACTIVE. THE NSA (NATIONAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION) THE DRILL PUNCHED DOWN INTO THE LAKE HEADSPACE. SUDDNELY COMMUNICATION STOPPED. OFFICIAL DENIAL CAME INTO IT THEN. KEVIN SMITH SAYS: IN A NORMAL YEAR, THEY ONLY GET TO DRILL A LITTLE BIT. FEBRUARY 6TH IS THE DEADLINE FOR THEM TO BATTEN DOWN THE HATCHES FOR WINTER. THE LOWEST TEMPERATURES ON EARTH ARE REGISTERED HERE ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY DEGREES BELOW ZERO THERE. THEY ONLY GET TO WORK ABOUT 6 WEEKS A YEAR. DR. PRESCHOOL EMAILED THAT THE DRILLERS WERE 40 FEET FROM PUNCHING THROUGH. THEN THEY LOST CONTACT. WITH THEM. PRESCHOOL SAID, "I'M SORRY I SAID IT, COMMUNICATIONS HAVE NOT BEEN CUT OFF, BUT THAT MESSAGE HAS NOT BEEN VERIFIED. THEY ARE EVIDENTLY NOT LOST AS FIRST BROADCAST BY RADIO. THEY HAVE NOT ACTUALLY DISAPPEARED. THE DRILLING BRINGS UP A CORE OF ICE AND THEY SAVE IT IN A FREEZER. THEY HAVE DRILLED DOWN 30,000 FEET SO FAR. THIS ICE EVIDENTLY IS 30 MILLION YEARS OLD. IT IS VERY SLOW GOING. THE WARMEWST IT GETS THERE IS 40 DEGREES BELOW ZERO IN SUMMER. AVERAGE TEMERATURE OF THE LAKE, UNDER THE ICE IS ABOUT 37 DEGREES AND IS LIQUID. IN 1993 THE NEWS CAME THAT GOT JPL AND NASA GOT EXCITED. NOW THEY HAVE TECHNOLOGGY THAT CAN SEE DOWN THAT FAR BELOW ICE AND THEY CAN USE THIS TECHNOLOGY ON OTHER PLANETS AND MOONS AS WELL. HOWEVER, SOMETHING WAS FOUND UNDER THE WATER THAT WAS AN ANCIENT STRUCTURE DOWN THERE. THEY SAID THERE ARE MAGNETIC ANOMALIES DOWN THERE 45 SQUARE MILES ACROSS. THIS IS THE RUSSIAN STATION THERE AND THEY WERE THERE BEFORE THE LAKE WAS KNOWN TO HAVE EXISTED. SO RUSSIA TOOK OVER. EVIDENTLY COMMUNICATIONS HAVE STOPPED FOR SOME REASON. GOOGLE-EARTH HAS BLURRED OUT THIS AREA ON THEIR MAP. WHY? NOAA HAS NOT RESPONDED TO FOX NEWS. NO OTHER ORGANIZATION WORKING WITH THE PROGRAM HAS RESPONDED TO FOX NEWS QUESTIONS. DR. PRESCHOL HAS STOPPED COMMUNICATIONS AS WELL. KEVIN SMITH SAYS THE SILENCE IS SCREAMING THAT THEY ARE HIDING SOMETHING. THEY USE HEATED KEROSENE BECAUSE KEROSENE DOES NOT FREEZE IT CUTS THROUGH ICE WITH NO PROBLEM. A LOT OF FUNDING HAS GONE INTO THIS PROJECT, AND MANY ICE DRILLING EXPERTS AS WELL. NOW IT HAS COME TO A COMPLETE HALT. THEY ARE WORRIED ABOUT CONTAMINATION. THEY ARE WORRIED AS WELL THAT SOME STRANGE MICROBES MIGHT BE IN THE HEADSPACE OVER THE LAKE THAT COULD COME UP AND GET LOOSE IN OUR OWN ATMOSPHERE AND KILL PEOPLE. THE EXPERTS THINK THAT SOMETHING STRANGE IS DOWN THERE - SOMETHING THAT GIVES OFF RADIATION. THE ANOMALY IS MAGNETIC. BRUCE AGENW AND KEVIN SMITH THINKS THIS WHOLE THING IS SUSPICIOUS. MAJOR MEDIA SHOULD BE ALL OVER THIS BUT FOX NEWS IS THE ONLY ONE TALKING ABOUT IT. WHY IS THERE NO FOLLOW UP REPORTING? THERE HAVE BEEN NO COMMUNICATIONS FOR SEVEN DAYS NOW. THAT WAS AS OF THE THIRD OF FEBRUARY. THEY ARE QUESTIONING WHY THERE IS NO VIDEO, PICTURES, AND THEY HAVE SATTELITE PHONES DOWN THERE. IT COULD BE AS SIMPLE AS SOMEBODY DROPPING THE TELEHONE DOWN THE HOLE. (GRINNING HERE.) THE COLUMN OF KEROSENE IS PLUGGING THE HOLE, BUT BACTERIA DOES GROW IN KEROSENE. THEY SAY THAT THE OXYGEN DOWN IN THE LAKE IS 50 PERCENT HIGHER THAN WE HAVE ON THEH SURFACE. KEVIN SMITH IS ASSUMNG THAT THE OFFICIAL STORY IS NOT TRUE. THE WOMAN WHO SAID SHE MISPOKE BUT WHY IS SHE NOW MISSING AS WELL? SOMETHING IS FISHY HERE. THEY ARE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY THERE IS A MAGNETIC ANOMALY. IT IS NOT NATRUAL. WHY IS THIS A NATIONAL SECURITY CONCERN? A SLIGHT MIS-STATEMENT IS NORMAL AND NATURAL. IF THEY DID PUNCH THROUGH AND DISCOVERED THE REASON FOR THE ANOMALY, THAT MIGHT BE REASON FOR GOING SILENT. THEY ARE SPECULATING ON THE REASON FOR THE SUDDEN SILENCE. HE IS AVAILABLE AT: http://search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=A0oGkkuNtzJPvRsAeASl87UF?p=KEVIN%20SMITH%20VOSTOK&fr=slv8-att&fr2=sfp THIS AREA IS CLAIMED BY RUSSIA. THE UNITED STATES HAS PLACED NO CLAIM ON ANY AREA AT ALL DOWN THERE. NOBODY OWNS IT, BUT A CLAIM GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO WORK WHERE THE CLAIM IS MADE. IF THE NSA THINKS THAT THIS IS A NATIONAL SECURITY INTEREST, NOTHING WOULD STOP THEM FROM JUMPING IN AND STOPPING THE PROJECT. THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF WHAT THE NSA CAN DO. ALL THEY HAVE TO DO IS SAY THEY DON'T LIKE WHAT IS GOING ON - THEY WILL STEP IN WHEREVER THEY WANT TO. THAT IS WHY COMMUNICATION HAS STOPPED TO THE PUBLIC. OPERATION HIGHJUMP BY ADMIRAL BYRD IN 1948 - THE ANOMALY WAS NOT DISCOVERED UNTIL 1991.

www.kevinsmithshow.comKEVIN SMITH SAYS: "THE SILENCE IS WHERE THE TRUTH IS " UPDATE: 2-9-12 - KEVIN SMITH ANNOUNCED THAT THEY HAVE BROUGHT UP 40 LITRES OF WATER FROM LAKE VOSTOK. ONE OF THE STORIES SPECULATED ON IS THAT THE NAZIS BUILT A BASE UNDER THE ICE. RUSSIA SHOULD BE CONGRAULATED O FO RFUNDING THIS PROJECT. A PHOTOGRAPH IS NOW OUT WITH A RUSSIAN SIGN WITH THE DATE 5 FEBRUARY, 2012 VOSTOK THEY WENT DOWN 372 METRES THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT EVENTS EVER DONE - PERHAPS EVEN MORE THAN LANDING ON THE MOON. IT IS MORE IMMEMDIATELY IMMPORTANT BEAUSE IT ISI RELATED TO EARTH. WHEN THEY REPORTED ON THIS IMPORTANT ACCOMPLISHMENT THEY BROUGHT UP THE NAZI BASE AT THE SAME TIME. PEOPLE THINK THAT IS JUST FICTION, AND ITS NOT FICTION. THE AREA WAS CALLED NEW SCHWABENLAND AND THERE ARE PICTURES OF THEM THERE. DID THEY HAVE A SECRET BA, BUT A FEW YEARS AGO THAT HAD BEEN CAPTURED BY THE RUSSIANS AFTER WWII. THESE DOCUMENTS HAD CONSTRUCTED A BASE IN A DOCUMENT TO THE FUHRER THAT WAS UNASAILABLE. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HAS SURFACED IS REICH MAPS SHOWING THE INNER EARTH. THERE ARE INSTRUTIONS TO U-BOAT CAPTIANS AND HOW TO GET EHTERE. SPECIFIC DETAILS. THEY WENT THROUGH SOME TUNNELS AND THEN RESURFACED IN INNER EARTH. THAT WHOLEL THING WAS DEBUNKED. .THE QUESTION IS: WHY DID THE RUSSIANS BRING UP THE NAZIS AND DETAIL THE THEORY ABOU THE UNDERWATER BASE? IT IS REALLY WEIRD - ESPECIALLY ITS THE GOVERNMENT SPEAKING - NOT JUST SOME REPORTER. A TABLOID MIGHT REPORT SOMETHING LIKE THIS, BUT A GOVERNMENT ARTICLE? A SOURCE kEVIN SMITH CONTACT SAID THAT THERE IS INDEED A NAZI BASE THERE AND THATS THE REASON FOR THE MAGNETIC ANOMALY kEVIN INVITED SOMEONE WHO KNOWS THESE THINGS AND THAT PERSON REFUSED TO COME FORWARD TO ANYONE BECFAUSE HE IS IN HIDING. KEVIN THINKS THE LEAST LIKELY EXPLANATION IS THAT ITS NAZI BUT HIS SOURCE IS RELIABLE. ADMIRAL BYRD WAS CONSIDERED A HERO IN WWI, AND HE WENT TO ANTARCTICA, EXPLORED AND MAPPED IN OPERATION HIGHJUMP IF YOU ARE STANDING ON THE SOUTH POLE, EVERY DIRECTION YOU TURN IS NORTH. THATS AN ODD FEELING. IF YOU LOOK AT THE SOUTH SIDE OF ANTARCTICA, YOU WILL SEE LITTLE AMERICA - THAT IS WHERE ADMIRAL BYRD WAS. LITTLE AMERICA ISS 150 MILES FROM LITTLE AMERICA. WHEN ADMIRAL BYRD RETURNED, LOTS OF EQUIPMENT WAS MISSING OR DAMAGED INCLUDING A SHIP. SOME PERSONNEL WAS MISSING. HE WAS ASKED WHY HE CUT HIS MISSION SHORT AND HE AID, THAT THE NEXT TIME WE FIGHT A WAR WE WILL LFIND AN ENEMY THAT CAN FLY FROM POLE TO POLE FASTER THAN WE CFAN. SO WHAT IS REALLY THERE? ADIRAL BYRD REFUSED TO TALK TO ANYONE FROM HIS HOSPITAL BED. FOR SOME REASON MUCH OF THE INFORMATION AHS DISAPPEARED OFF THE INTERNET. SOMEONE IS TRYING TO KEEP THIS INFORMATION FROM THE PUBLIC. THERE ARE LOTS OF OQUESTIONS TO BE ASKED ABOU TTHIS. NEW SCHWABENLAND Primary Latitude in degrees,

This area, more than 500 miles in extent, was first explored from aircraft by the German Antarctic Expedition of 1938-39 led by Captain Alfred Ritscher. They named it after the expedition ship The maps published by this expedition were of an uneven quality, features in the eastern portion of the area being plotted with greater reliability. It has not been possible for Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) to identify some features plotted and named by the expedition. The western part of the area was surveyed by the Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition (NBSAE), 1949-52. The entire area was mapped from air photos and survey undertaken by Norwegian Antarctic Expeditions in the years 1956-60. OTHER MAPS http://greyfalcon.us/restored/Neu%20Schwabenland.htm The OMEGA File NAZI BASES IN ANTARCTICA We will now examine the various claims of Nazi bases in Antarctica, which as we have said, may very well have been the point-of-origin of the 'Nazi-Grey' craft that Barney and Betty Hill encountered during their abduction experience. The historical facts are evident. Beginning in 1838, long before the end of the Second World War, the Nazi's commenced to send out numerous exploratory missions to the Queen Maud region of Antarctica. A steady stream of expeditions were reportedly sent out from [at the time] white supremacist South Africa. Over 230,000 square miles of the frozen continent were mapped from the air, and the Germans discovered vast regions that were surprisingly free of ice, as well as warm water lakes and cave inlets. One vast ice cave within the glacier was reportedly found to extend 30 miles to a large hot-water geothermal lake deep below. Various scientific teams were moved in to the area, including hunters, trappers, collectors and zoologists, botanists, agriculturists, plant specialists, mycologists, parasitologists, marine biologists, ornithologists, and many others. Numerous divisions of the German government were involved in the top secret project. This is where the mainstream historians leave off, as only revisionist historians will dare consider the implications of the rest of the story... After all the data was gathered, deep underground construction teams came pouring into the renamed "Neu-Schwabenland". They came on cargo ships, military transport ships, and submarines. The cargo ships coming from South Africa were protected by a host of killer-submarines and military ships. This might explain the intense Nazi war efforts in North and South Africa. Any ship that even came close to the shipping routes from South Africa to Antarctica were destroyed by German U-boats to protect the secret. After all the goods were brought, the VIPs and scientists started to show up with a compliment of ULTRA, a highly specialized Nazi SS team like our MJ-12. ULTRA has always been in control of Antarctica. ULTRA is the name of a secret alien interface agency in the NSA. Remember that the NSA has connections to both the Nazi S.S. and the Dulce base. According to contactee Alex Collier, the upper level members of the NSA-ULTRA group are cloned replicates or have been so heavily implanted, virtual cyborgs, that they could be considered as being barely human -- automatons who are remotely controlled by the Greys' group ego or group mind. It is also noteworthy that ULTRA is also the NAME OF the Above Top Secret CIA-NSA-Alien base under the Archuleta plateau and peak northeast of DULCE, New Mexico. This might also explain Valdamar Valerian's insistence that early newspaper clippings just prior to the outbreak of World War II imply that "the Germans" were "all over" New Mexico exploring caves and mines, buying up property, and engaging in all sorts of mysterious activities. Could Antarctica be the real power behind the New World Order? If the Nazi bases still exist in Antarctica then they would no doubt still have secret contact with the Bavarian cults which sponsored and were an integral part of the Nazi party, like the Bavarian THULE society for instance. It is interesting that the re-united East and West Germany is paving the way for the 'unification' of Europe. For instance, all economic bar-codes must be processed through Germany, Germany is trying to impose enforced nepotistic career restrictions where one's career is determined by the family one is born into, a British news agency spoke of investigations of the Bavarian secret service who were reportedly smuggling weapons grade plutonium into Germany from a nuclear black market operation they had established in the former Soviet States, the Illuminati has its base in Germany [Bavaria], and Germany has been the most active country in the international drive for Internet censorship and control. In other words, Democracy seems to be dying a painful death in Germany, IF it ever really existed there in the first place. As for Neu Schwabenland, the construction and secret projects in Antarctica continued throughout the entire course of the war. Just before the end of the WWII, two German provision U-boats, U-530 and U-977, were launched from a port on the Baltic Sea. Reportedly they took with them members of the antigravity-disk research and development teams [ULTRA], and the LAST of the most vital disc components [much of this technology and hardware had been transported to the base during the course of the war]. This included the notes and drawings for the latest saucer or aerial disk designs, and designs for the gigantic underground complexes and living accommodations based on the remarkable underground factories of Nordhausen in the Harz Mountains. The two U-boats duly reached the new land of Neu-Schwabenland where they unloaded everything. When they arrived in Argentina several months later, their crews were captured. It seems as if they were either counting on the formerly German-friendly Argentineans to allow them access, or it could have been that they intentionally allowed themselves to be discovered for misinformation purposes, i.e. -- "yes... we are the last two renegade German subs. We've been trying to hold out but...oops, you caught us... the war's finally over!" The crews of these U-Boats were of course interrogated by U.S. Intelligence agents who had suspected the existence of the Antarctic base. Whatever the Nazi soldiers tried to tell them, apparently the Americans were not convinced... especially considering the subsequent and ill-fated U.S. Navy backed military actions against the Nazi's "Last Battalion" in Antarctica in later years under Admiral Richard E. Byrd, who arrived at Antarctica with an entire military armada and provisions to last 6 month. However the the entire expedition lasted only 8 weeks, with only approximately three weeks of actual full-scale Antarctic operations. The Antarcticans were desperate following the war, and knew that a confrontation was imminent. Much effort was put into developing secret weapons projects to defend their new underground Empire, which no doubt was constructed with the 'help' of a large number of expendable slave laborers transported from the concentration camps of Europe. The major base-city of Antarctica became known as the NEW BERLIN, or by the code-named "Base-211". The actual beginnings of German interest in the polar regions may date back BEFORE the earliest U.S. Navy polar expeditions. For instance one segment of NOVA related that the remains of Capt. Charles Hall of the ill-fated POLARIS expedition, one of the first American ventures to the North Pole, were discovered in an ice grave by a subsequent polar expedition. It seemed that when the body was examined it was found to contain poison. It was also discovered by searching the records that the cook [who would be in the perfect position to administer poison] and the first mate on the Polaris expedition were German Occultist spies! Remember that the German secret societies of Bavaria, which had helped to precipitate the first and second world wars, date back to ancient times when -- following the occupation of Egypt -- the [un]'Holy Roman Empire' military forces based in Germany, the seat of government for the HO.R.E, brought back from Egypt the black gnostic "serpent cults" which later gave rise to the Bavarian Illuminati, the Bavarian Thule Society and a host of other lesser known satanic racist cults which gravitated around these. Could the occultist spies who sabotaged the POLARIS expedition have been attempting to protect a secret hidden deep within the polar regions? Could this secret have had something to do with an ancient collaboration between Bavarian satanic cults and reptilian-based aliens? A German Polar researcher who we will identify only as 'Stefan' reveals that the 'historical' beginnings of German interest and research into the Antarctic or South Polar region itself began in 1873 when Sir Eduard Dallman on behalf of the newly founded German Society of Polar Research discovered new Antarctic routes with his ship 'GRONLAND'. "...Dallman discovered the "Kaiser-Wilhelm-Inseln" at the western entrance of the Biskmarkstrasse along the Biscoue Islands. Exploring the polar regions, the Germans were already at this time quite innovative, for the 'GRONLAND' was the first steamship to see the Antarctic ice at all. "Within the next 60 years 2 further expeditional thrusts took place, and two complete expeditions were fulfilled, namely 1910 under Wilhem Filchner with his ship 'DEUTSCHLAND'; and 1925 with the special designed polar expedition ship, the 'METEOR' under the command of Dr. Albert Merz. "During the recent years before WWII the Germans claimed to hegemony about parts of Antarctica and the wish to possess [their] own base grew stronger. At this time the Antarctic was not safe due to international treaties like today and a pragmatic proof of Germany's claim by a single strike to the south pole on the eve of the war seemed to be the best option. Hitler himself was anxious for a foothold in the Antarctic and such a claim could be used pretty well for the Nationalsocialistic propaganda and a further demonstration of the uprising "Superpower Germany". On the other side a new provocation of the Allies had still to be avoided for some time. Germany was -- at this time -- not completely prepared for the coming war. "As a matter of fact, the idea of a semi-civilian expedition in cooperation with the German national airline company, the 'LUFTHANSA' grew up. A civilian covered expedition with truly military and strategical background, a highly political charged balancing act. The command on this strike was given to the polar-experienced Captain Alfred Ritscher, who had already led some expeditions to the North Pole and proved courage and skillness in critical situations. The selected ship was the 'MS SCHWABENLAND, a German aircraft carrier used since 1934 for transatlantic mail delivery by special flightboats, the famous 'Dornier Wale'. These 'Wales' were mounted on steam catapults on the deck of the ship and could be started and refueled this way easily. This circumstance should proof very well during the expedition. "The 'SCHWABENLAND' was prepared for the expedition on Hamburg's shipyards, which cost the huge amount of 1 Million Reichsmark, nearly a third of the complete expedition budget. "Meanwhile, the crew was prepared and scheduled by the German Society of Polar Research precisely. This society also made the sensational step to invite Richard E. Byrd, the most famous American Antarctic researcher. On the mid of November 1938 he arrived in Hamburg and showed the crew and a clearly selected publicity of 84 persons his new Antarctic dokumentation movie in the Urania of Hamburg. Byrd, who had flown across the south pole as the first human in 1929, was already at this time a living legend, a national hero to the Americans and most of the polar researchers. In 1938 he still was civilian. This invitation to the Germans could have been a typical irony of history, for nearly ten years later exactly this Richard E. Byrd -- then in the rank as US NAVY admiral -- got the instruction to destroy the secret German Antarctic base 211. To do this, he was given the command of the biggest military force on the Antarctic ice ever seen, 13 ships and nearly 4000 men staff. That mysterious operation which is said to have ended in a catastrophical failure. "The 'NEUSCHWABENLAND' left the port of Hamburg on December 17th 1938 heading to the Antarctic on a precisely planned and determined route and reached the ice on January 19th 1939 at 4° 15´ W and 69° 10´S. The following weeks on 15 flights the 'PASSAT' and the 'BOREAS' flew across some 600.000 square kilometers and made with their special designed German "Zeiss Reihenmessbildkameras RMK 38" more than 11.000 pictures of the area. The old Norwegian maps from 1931 on these areas were renewed, for they proved to be fake. [Could not be different, because the Norwegian expeditions before did never go so deep into the ice from the used Northern landing point]. Nearly one fifth of the whole Antarctic area was scanned this way, thus documented for the first time and simultaneous claimed to be German territory. To stress this claim on the outside too, the two planes dismissed several thousands of drop-flags, special metal poles with expedition's insignia on them, the 'swastika'. The whole territory now got the still valid name: 'NEUSCHWABENLAND', referring to a south German region [which is actually not far from me here]. "Interestingly, the Expedition seemed to have discovered ice-free areas with even lakes and small signs of vegetation in the mid of the Antarctic. The geologists said that this phenomenon was due hot sources in the ground. Concurrent, the landings points where marked with "prick-flags". "Notes: Some newer historians reduce the discovered area to an amount of 325.000 square kilometers. Do not trust these numbers, I have copies of the original flight maps here, revealing the number 600.000 in ancient letters. What could be the reason to reduce this number? "Most parts of 'NEUSCHWABENLAND' were renamed according to the Antarctic treaty in 1957. Look out for "QUEEN MAUD LAND"., "PRINCESS MARTHA COAST", "PRINCESS ASTRID COAST". On the older maps you will still find the original names. Yet, until today still many of the mountains in the northern Antarctic area carry German names like: "M_HLIG-HOFFMAN-MOUNTAINS", "WOHLTAT-MOUNTAINS", etc. These names were given according to leading Berlin bureaucrats who enabled with their policy the expedition's targets. "In the mid of February, the 'SCHWABENLAND' again left the Antarctic. It took two months back to Hamburg and Ritscher carefully used this time to organize the results, maps and photos. Captain Ritscher surprised by the results of the flights, immediately planned after the arrival a second, fully civilian, expedition in use of lighter airplanes with skids. Facing the beginning of WWII, these civilian (!) plans were said to be given up somewhere on October 1939. "Yet, what about the military and strategic option achieved by this strike? Was it wasted resources so far? Today, all historians agree in the fact that WWII was not accidentally started but pretty well planned from the early 30's and even before. At least since 1933 (incidentally the same year when one of the first 'official' treaties between the Greys and Bavarian Intelligence was initiated -- no doubt with more than a little help from the secret societies operating there - Branton) the whole German dictatorship tried to gain war fitness within a decade or earlier. In all -- and I really mean all -- aspects of life: military, 'civilian', economic, social, private, resourcing, engineering, foreign policy, and so on, in all aspects the Germans were put straight on their way to war more or less obviously. Pointing to this only aim, the Nationalsocialists abused the typical kind of German correctness and missing sense for rebellious scrutinizing. Nothing was left to chance! And this same method was used in the Antarctic issue, which in my eyes NEVER ended with Ritscher's return [in] 1938 but went on during the WWII. "Unfortunately, at this point all valid information has vanished. What is left is a scattered puzzle of hints, testimonies and reports which go up to the fifties and which we partially can not verify anymore. So IF the Germans WERE able to build up an Antarctic [underground] base on the results of Ritscher's expedition, this would be one of the really best covered secrets in German history. No question, German engineers HAD the knowledge to construct something like that as the huge underground establishments of the Nordhausen complex in the Harz as well as Kahla complex at Thuumlringen and many more prove. Does this remind you Americans of something??? The pattern somehow is the same: A lying government / dictatorship and a frightened, blind-held folks willing to obey and believe in what they are fed up with...[see Roswell]. "So, what we did in Part II ... was the attempt to restructure chronically those parts of the puzzle we could gather within some months of research on this topic. Nobody can say that the following really happened, so you might see it as speculation first. Yet, we HAVE tremendous parallels on several sources from which we can only say this one thing 100%ly: THEY COULD NOT HAVE KNOWN OF EACH OTHER! "What follows now is the attempt of a chronological collection of the events and their conclusions as far as they are known to us today. They all lead to the establishing of the Antarctic base 211 at the end of war by means of German submarines and flying saucers and to the [failed ?] attempt to destroy it by the US Navy in 1947. (Note: The following are brief descriptions or synopsis' of information and documentation which 'Stefan' has in his possession, yet which we will not quote in their entirety here. - Branton): "-- Evaluation of the anti-gravity propulsion of a nearly 100% functional flying saucer going down in the 'Schwarzwald' in the summer 1936. "-- Alternative hypothesis: Self-developing this propulsion by experiments of German scientists basing on Viktor Schauberger's anti-gravity experiments. "-- First unmanned flights with the new [re-]built propulsion. A very special section of the "Reichsluftfahrtbehoumlrde" gets the project under its control with the aim to build up anti-gravital fighters and troop-carriers. The project's name is 'HANEBBU' [some sources also call it the 'VRIL' project]. The prototypes are numbered in ascending order. The project has many setbacks in the first years due to the massive electro-magnetic disturbances and their interaction with conventional electric components. Although the propulsion can be handled and used principally, it seems to be nearly impossible to "drive or fly" these prototypes in sharper angels than 90¦, thus not usable as fighters. Additionally normal navigation systems referring somehow to magnetic fields were completely useless and special magnetic independent navigation instrumentation designed, the celestial guidance system: "Meisterkompass" and "Peiltochterkompass". "-- Further secret German expeditions to 'NEUSCHWABENLAND'. As landing points, there could have been used two of the three marked landing bays north-west of the "HLIG-HOFFMAN MOUNTAINS" close to 3° W and 70° S. Those were already documented as 'landing bays' by Ritscher. "-- Starting the assemblage of the Antarctic base 211. Simultaneously a second secret base is build up on a high plateau in the South American Andes. [Argentina ?] "-- Necessary items for the erection of the bases are continuously transported on submarines. Note: German submarine commanders are highly experienced in the Arctic waters due to the need of delivery of material and people to Germany's northern Arctic bases and civilian research stations. In fact at least 20 well documented operations have taken place along the Arctic until 1945 by means of these submarines. Some of these operations, especially the later ones, had to be carried out under extreme conditions and with the permanent threat of contact with the enemy. Besides, on their way to the south pole, researchers discovered somewhat like a straight deep submarine trench fitting pretty well for the necessary transportation's. "-- The 'HANNEBU' series has left the stadium of prototypes and brought up to 19-25 ships in 2 [or even 3] sizes. "HANEBU I" is a small vessel, "HANNEBU II" a more sophisticated, larger one. Some reports even hint at "HANNEBU III", which was designed as a mothership. If this third type has become reality, there existed only one single ship. So, the overall transport capacities are still very limited, due to a quite small diameter of the disks. Additionally production of ships gets more and more difficult, because the Allies managed to cut of Germany's raw materials more and more. Yet 'HANNEBUs' managed to disturb some allied bomber raids over Germany. Note: Every allied bomber pilot in the [latter] years of the war knew the mysterious threat of the so called "foe-fighters" appearing and vanishing with incredible speed and causing bright-orange light phenomenon's and paroxysmal instrumentation failures on all electric and magnetic parts of the bombers. In no source a direct attack by these "foe-fighters" is mentioned, they seem to play a completely defensive role on the late air war over Germany. (Note: see the movie, THE BATTLE OF THE BULGE, which correctly implies that the Germans were on the verge of developing a whole range of incredible new aerial weapons, and needed to prolong the war for a few more months in order to get their new jets, etc., into production, and the Battle of the Bulge was a part of this plan. However just as these new weapons were about to go into mass production the German military failed to fully succeed in their battle plans to buy more time and prolong the war for a few more months, and the Allied invasion of Germany began. That particular victory may have been closer than most of us would dare to believe. If the 'Nazis/Antarcticans' are planning for another planetary takeover, then this time they may have an alien force working with them. Could the abductions and implantation's by 'aliens' be a joint CIA-Nazi-Alien project to implement electronic mind control programming on millions of people throughout the nations in preparation for the attempted implimentation of an electronically-controlled New World Order dictatorship? - Branton) "-- The enormous pressure of the Allies force the Germans to give up the big secret underground facilities in Eastern Germany. The Allies themselves seem to be pretty well informed on these facilities and overall eager to capture them. The Germans flee and leave back much material of the 'HANNEBU' project. Their attempt to rebuild the construction zones in the middle of Germany fails. The war is nearly over. "Quotations: "... I have seen enough of their designs and production plans to realize that if they [the Germans] had managed to prolong the war some months longer, we would have been confronted with a set of entirely new and deadly developments in air warfare. " -- Sir Roy Feddon, chief of the technical mission to Germany for the Ministry for Aircraft Production in 1945. "When WWII ended, the Germans had several radical types of aircraft and guided missiles under development. The majority were in the most preliminary stages, but they were the only known craft that could even approach the performance of objects reported to UFO observers... " -- Captain Edward J. Ruppelt Chief of the US Air Force Project 'Bluebook' on 1956. "Notes: "-- A last convoy of submarine vessels leaves German Harbors with direction to Antarctica and Andes. It is the overall successful attempt to escape the Allies' clutches. Among this last convoy there are the U 530 [Captain Otte Wehrmut] and the U977m [Captain Heinz Schaumlffer]. "-- The last visual contact with U977 was on April 26th at Christiansund. Schaumlffer's crew did not reveal anything about the submarine's destination or load. The vessel vanishes now for nearly 4 months, before the crew delivers a completely empty vessel to Argentinian Officials. "-- In the same way, leading NS-Officials and technicals are evacuated from Berlin/Potsdam with the HANEBU fleet heading to the meanwhile COMPLETED (?) base 211. The overall transport capacities are quite limited. "-- The submarine convoy achieves in the southern Atlantic Sea a sea victory over an Allied unit trying to stop it. This event is under wraps until today. "-- Germany's capitulation [to the Allies] 17 August 1945. "-- Some submarine crews who are not willing to live in the base or who perhaps can't be admitted to the base travel to Argentine and hand over their completely empty submarines. "-- Among those are the documented cases of U530 and U977. High US NAVY officials immediately traveled down to Argentine and started severe interrogations on the crew. Scgaumlffer repeatedly denied to have brought anyone or anything to anywhere. Although most of the crew are unwilling to tell what really happened, it is possible that these interrogations deliver important information about the location of the base. (Note: One source has claimed that the information the interrogators recieved involved the escape of Adolph Hitler, Martin Boorman, Eva Braun and a major segment of the Nazi leadership -- not including those who were 'sacrificed' to the Nuremberg trials after the war -- to the South Polar base. This source claimed that these interrogations ultimately LED to the military action against the entrenched Nazi forces in Antarctica under the command of Navy Admiral Richard E. Byrd. - Branton). Yet for us, it remains very mysterious what the crew really did after the official capitulation on May 1945, for they confessed to have heard it soon on their own radio. When Schaumlffer came free, he immediately traveled back to Argentina to stay there with some fellows for the rest of his life. (Note: Others claim that a large number of 'Antarcticans' have infiltrated South America via Argentina, and in turn North America -- where the Nazi "UFO" forces have reportedly established several underground bases. They are reportedly working with "Paperclip" Nazis, members of various Bavarian fraternal cults, and Anglo-American corporate fascicts above, in a plan to bring down America by creating a fascist revolution in the United States, like the one that brought the Nazi's to power in Germany. The concentration camps, thousands of train cars equipped with shackles, and executive orders for the implementation of martial law are already in place. - Branton) "-- Until today more than 100 submarines of the German fleet are missing. Among those are many of the highly technological XXII class equipped with the so-called 'Walterschnorchel', a special designed and coated schnorkel enabling submarines in combination with their new developed engines to dive for many thousand miles. A 'trip' to the base without recognition becomes pretty possible with this technology. "-- The US Navy tries to destroy the German base which did not surrender at the end of war. The operation is a disaster. The base remains functional, at least in parts. "-- More than one year after the surrendering of U977 the US NAVY launches the biggest military operation in the Antarctic ice under the command of Admiral Richard E. Byrd. This is the operation 'HIGHJUMP', including 13 ships, 1 aircraft carrier, 2 seaplane tenders, 6 two-engined R4D transports and 4000 men. The only official statement on the purpose of such a task force is the need for testing "new material under the extreme Antarctic conditions." The force starts up at the established US bases in the "ROSS SEA", then it moves up the western Antarctic coast heading toward the Northern Antarctic coast, 'NEUSCHWABENLAND' and building up a bridgehead on January 27th 1947 somewhere west of it. Officially the expedition is a big success because it delivers many new facts of the use of military equipment under extreme conditions. "-- What is the need of such a big task force in this area? IF the expedition was such a success, WHY did Byrd already return to the US in February 1947? The operation was planned and equipped for a full 6-8 month duration. Did this expedition carry atomic warheads as some sources say? (Note: although the entire expedition lasted some 8 weeks as suggested earlier, some sources claim that the actual battle -- once Byrd's forces had been divided into three main battle groups on the continent of Antarctica -- lasted only 3 weeks. - Branton) "-- Byrd flew in 1947 at least one time in a right-twisted circle across the whole territory 'NEUSCHWABENLAND' heading from southwest over the 'RITSCHER HOCHLAND' and the eastern areas to the Pole. On his return to the US, Byrd reveals in an [often quoted but nowhere validated] interview with a reporter that it was "necessary for the USA to take defensive actions against enemy air fighters which come from the polar regions" and that in case of a new war, the USA would be attacked by fighters that are able to fly from one pole to the next with incredible speed". (Actually this quote HAS been validated, as will be seen later on in this document - Branton). Byrd has to face a secret cross-examination by US authorities. The US withdraws from the Antarctic for almost a decade. (Note: Another claim which has been made by certain investigators, although the original source is difficult to track down, was that upon returning to the States Admiral Byrd went into a rage before the President and Joint Chiefs of Staff and in an almost demanding tone, strongly 'suggested' that Antarctica be turned into a thermonuclear test range. - Branton) "-- World wide mass sightings of UFOs. In the late 70's it becomes more and more obvious that many of these sightings are identical in some technical details with the 'HANEBU' series. This can be stated especially for the so called 'ADAMSKI' UFOs in the early fifties which somehow look very terrestrial, nearly in "fashion style" of this decade and somehow very different from the rest of flat-bottomed crafts. "-- The International Antarctic year with large civilian research projects starts. The result is the Antarctic treaty in which all participants agree to avoid any military operations this region in future times. This treaty ends somewhere in the year 2000.

Integrated Care Program for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
- Full Text View

- How to Read a Study Record
Integrated eHealth is an innovative, proactive approach to the management of patients with chronic cardiopulmonary disease. Our overall goal is to improve the health of patients by integrating guideline-based education, remote disease monitoring, coordinator-based disease management and healthcare provider-initiated therapy. Patients enrolled in the program receive a set of equipment, including a Health Buddy® telemonitor that connects to a normal telephone, as well as instruments to measure oxygen levels (pulse oximeter), lung function (spirometer) and activity (pedometer). Through the Health Buddy® patients receive guideline-based disease education in their own homes. The Health Buddy® also allows patients to transmit daily information about their symptoms, oxygen levels, lung function and ability to walk to program coordinators located at the University of Colorado Hospital. Our program coordinators are highly experienced nurses or respiratory therapists with expertise in the management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and congestive heart failure (CHF). Through this remote disease education/monitoring program, patients learn to take a more active role in the management of their own disease. However, once the coordinators identify early warning signs of a potential problem, patients are contacted and connected to their primary healthcare provider for early intervention. By this integrated approach to care, patients learn self-management techniques, physician communication is enhanced, and early interventions for problems are possible. We propose to target the Integrated eHealth Program to areas of Colorado that are highly impacted by COPD.
Key Objectives: The key objectives are to improve COPD care in the 16 Colorado counties with high COPD mortality rates.
Target Population: We will target patients with severe or very severe COPD.
Expected Outcomes: We expect that this study will increase the use of evidence-based guidelines in the screening, diagnosis and treatment of COPD, resulting in improved quality-of-life and a reduction in healthcare utilization.

Seizing the Mobile Moment: Spectrum Allocation Policy for the Wireless Broadband CenturyCharles DavidsonNew York Law School Michael SantorelliNew York Law School March 2, 2010 CommLaw Conspectus - Journal of Communications Law and Policy, Vol. 19, No. 1, 2010 Abstract: Broadband is widely recognized as a key platform for enabling and supporting job creation, economic development, and innovation in both the short- and long-terms. Many recent policy debates have focused on spurring the deployment of wired broadband networks to unserved parts of the country. While important, these discussions largely overlook the vital role that wireless broadband is playing and will continue to play in delivering critical services and applications to a variety of end-users. This article analyzes the current state of the marketplace and assesses how a variety of sectors of the economy - healthcare, energy, education, and public safety - are leveraging ubiquitous and robust wireless broadband networks to deliver cutting-edge new tools. In order to sustain such high levels of innovation and competition, innovators will require additional spectrum resources to ensure that wireless networks are reliable and capable of providing fast transmission speeds. As such, this article provides an analysis of how the Federal Communications Commission has historically apportioned spectrum and draws best practices for use in today's marketplace. In an effort to prevent a spectrum shortage and provide policymakers with guidance as they approach these issues, this article concludes by articulating a series of recommendations for use by policymakers. Combined with the best practices, these policy recommendations seek to ensure meaningful policy making as stakeholders aim to position the wireless sector for continued success.

Peter Dinklage Sums Game of Thrones Up in 45 Seconds, Is Perfect
Game of Thrones is one of the most expansive and complicated television shows ever produced, so far having aired around 38 hours of content with hundreds of actors and shot across several continents. Despite this, actor Peter Dinklage, who plays Tyrion Lannister on the show, is able to accurately sum up the show in 45 seconds. Say what? During an interview with MTV, Peter is forced to catch up his interviewer on everything that's ever happened on GoT in under a minute, and he does a pretty solid job. "Stabby stabby stabby, sexy sexy sexy, stabby stabby stabby," Peter begins. "Beautiful, beautiful language and beautiful scenes of poetry and musing on the world as we know it in King's Landing and a... couple jokes. And more stabby stabby." Peter then closes up his summary by making death noises and saying, "And brother/sister," while simulating intercourse with his hands. The video of Dinklage's performance can be viewed below, and it's quite impressive. He hits all the major points of the show (violence, nudity, incest, great writing). We just have one qualm: No mention of dragons? Peter is a little King's Landing biased, we suppose, so we can't really fault him for that.
