'Room 237,' Documentary With Theories About 'The Shining'
@Room237movie - Cracking the Code in 'Heeere’s Johnny!'
from nytimes: When “The Shining” was released in 1980, many viewers, including the critic Pauline Kael, left theaters mystified by what they had just seen... Three decades on, scholars and fans are still trying to decipher this puzzle of a film directed by Stanley Kubrick... “Room 237,” the first full-length documentary by the director Rodney Ascher, examines several of the most intriguing of these theories. It’s really about the Holocaust, one interviewee says, and Mr. Kubrick’s inability to address the horrors of the Final Solution on film. No, it’s about a different genocide, that of American Indians, another says, pointing to all the tribal-theme items adorning the Overlook Hotel’s walls. A third claims it’s really Kubrick’s veiled confession that he helped NASA fake the Apollo Moon landings. The documentary’s biggest leap of faith comes with Jay Weidner, who posits that Mr. Kubrick helped NASA fake the Apollo Moon landings, then used “The Shining” to both confess his involvement — and brag about it. Mr. Weidner is at work on a DVD about the Kubrick-Apollo connection, his second, and cites as evidence a sweater worn by Danny with “Apollo 11” on it, and the hexagonal design on the hotel hallway carpet pattern, which he argues is a dead ringer for the aerial view of the Apollo launching pad. “The entire substory of ‘The Shining,’ ” Mr. Weidner said in an interview, “is the story of Kubrick making the Apollo footage and then trying to hide it from his wife, and then her finding out about it.”

cyber/space\war: attacks & anniversaries
world wide wiretap: cyber attacks traced to the uk & US
from threat level: International fingerpointing in the recent cyberattacks against U.S. and South Korean web sites has widened to include the UK and U.S., as researchers examining the attacks trace them to a server in the United Kingdom. But the UK company that owns the server says it, in turn, traced the attacks to a VPN connection originating in Miami, Florida. With hawks in Congress and the press urging President Obama to launch an all-out cyber war in retaliation for the website outages, things are looking bad for the Sunshine State. Though it should be noted that the Miami connection was likely just another proxy used by the hacker, who could be based in the U.S. or anywhere else. Researchers at Bkis Security in Hanoi, who reported findings about the UK server on their company’s blog, say that the denial-of-service attacks that struck more than three dozen government and commercial sites last week were launched from more than 166,000 computers in 74 countries controlled by a server in the UK. The IP range for the server is 195.90.118.xxx, which is registered to Global Digital Broadcast, which streams digital TV content from Latin America to consumers. A company representative was unavailable for comment. But in a July 14 press release, the company indicated that it had traced the attacks to a VPN connection from Miami controlled by Digital Latin America, a Buenos Aires-based company that provides technical services to providers of digital content.
3 reasons why US cybersecurity sucks
internet attack propaganda increases as cyber bill approaches
from kurt nimmo: Earlier this week South Korean intelligence (a creation of U.S. military intelligence) blamed the enfeebled Stalinist regime in North Korea for a series of cyber attacks on the U.S. government and commercial websites. As numerous observers have noted since the attacks, it is unlikely North Korea was behind the attacks. “Some analysts have questioned the North’s involvement, saying it may be the work of industrial spies or pranksters,” reports Reuters.
Instead of North Korea, the Korea Communications Commission now claims the original attacks were based in Germany, Austria, Georgia, the United States and South Korea. The location of the hackers behind the attacks is still unknown, according to the KCC.
The cyber attacks will now enter a new phase by attacking personal computers and wiping out hard disks, South Korea claims. South Korean web security firm Ahnlab, which has closely examined the attacks, said the new phase would target data on tens of thousands of infected personal computers. Ahnlab sells antivirus software, online security solutions, and network security appliances such as firewalls.
The new alleged threat and accompanying propaganda comes as Senate Commerce Chairman John (Jay) Rockefeller prepares for a July committee vote on cybersecurity legislation he introduced in April with Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine. One of the bill’s most controversial provisions would give the president the power to effectively shut off the Internet during a cyber crisis similar to the one now threatening PCs, according to South Korea and its U.S. created intelligence agency.

obama would endanger privacy with nsa cyber security plan
from latimes: Cyber security is a real issue, as evidenced by the virus behind July 4 cyber attacks that hobbled government and business websites in the United States and South Korea. It originated from Internet provider addresses in 16 countries and targeted, among others, the White House and the New York Stock Exchange. Unfortunately, the Obama administration has chosen to combat it in a move that runs counter to its pledge to be transparent. The administration reportedly is proceeding with a Bush-era plan to use the National Security Agency to screen government computer traffic on private-sector networks. AT&T is slated to be the likely test site. This classified pilot program, dubbed "Einstein 3," is developed but not yet rolled out. It takes two offenders from President Bush's contentious secret surveillance program and puts them in charge of scrutinizing all Internet traffic going to or from federal government agencies. Despite its name, the Einstein 3 program is more genie than genius -- an omnipotent force (run by the NSA via AT&T's "secret rooms") that does the government's bidding - spying. The last time around, this sort of scheme was known as the "special access" program - "special" being code for "unconstitutional."

arthur c. clarke, futurist & sci-fi genius, dead at 90
from ap: Arthur C. Clarke, a visionary science fiction writer who co-wrote "2001: A Space Odyssey" and won worldwide acclaim with more than 100 books on space, science and the future, died Wednesday, an aide said. He was 90... Co-author with Stanley Kubrick of Kubrick's film "2001: A Space Odyssey," Clarke was regarded as far more than a science fiction writer.arthur c. clarke: the final interview
from danger room: Spectrum has what appears to be the final interview with Arthur C. Clarke, conducted in January of this year (while Clarke was in the hospital). Clarke discusses geo-stationary communications satellites, space elevators, and his thoughts on private-sector space travel. It's an interesting dialog with a futurist and visionary who lived to see some of his predictions come true, most notably the satellites (space elevators are still a ways off). Clarke gave few interviews in his later years, so the Spectrum interview is well worth a listen.

endgame, cruise, cuckoo, kubrick, friedman, stallone, ventura & the central intelligence agency
from 'endgame' to 'life after people'
from jaymes: A couple of years ago I would have considered a show such as the History Channel’s upcoming, “Life After People” to be nothing more than a hypothetical morbid journey into the worst of ‘what if’ scenarios, but then there was EndGame... It certainly seems reasonable to think that with the staggering amount of evidence proving the world elite’s heart-felt plan to rid the planet of 80% of its inhabitants, that this History Channel special is either a sick joke, or their version of a fair warning for what the elite have planned. Given this hypothetical total population “disappearance” scenario, one wonders if Dr. Pianka and his students will be throwing a party for the event.
cruise is 'totally & completely indoctrinated'
from radar: By now you've undoubtedly seen "The Video", in which it is established beyond all reasonable doubt that Tom Cruise, the once-irresistible leading man from such American classics as Top Gun and Risky Business, isn't playing on the same field as the rest of us. But where exactly is he playing? How did this happen? Is there any hope for him? For these answers and more, we chatted with Scientology expert Rick Ross, the founder of the Rick Ross Institute for the Study of Destructive Cults, Controversial Groups and Movements.
from ap: Mental patients at the Oregon State Hospital, the setting for "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," were exposed to threats ranging from infectious outbreaks to patient-on-patient assaults, according to a Justice Department report released Wednesday. The report, based on an investigation in 2006, found several horror stories from Oregon's primary adult psychiatric facility... There were nearly 400 cases of patient-against-patient assault over a year and cases of patients injuring themselves, including multiple suicide attempts, while under staff observation. Mice were found in rooms, and outbreaks of norovirus and scabies were reported, according to the report.
kubrick's dr. strangelove depicted classified plans
from urWURLDnow: Commentators in 'Kubrick: A Life in Pictures' point out that Stanley Kubrick's satirical black comedy Dr. Strangelove had an uncanny resemblance to what could really happen in regards to authority to drop 'the bomb.' Kubrick had effectively deciphered Strategic Air Command and understood the dilemmas and unconstitutional provisions planned for continuity of government long before such items were declassified or discussed in public.
subject of 'friedman' film loses appeal
from ap: A federal judge has rejected a man's bid for exoneration in a child-molestation case explored in a noted documentary film, saying he filed his appeal too late. Jesse Friedman's appeal stemmed from the Oscar-nominated 2003 film, "Capturing the Friedmans." His lawyers said the documentary revealed evidence that prosecutors had wrongfully withheld — that at least one of the children who accused Friedman did so under hypnosis arranged by police.
stallone: 'bold faced lying to pacify the masses'
from steve watson: Sylvester Stallone, star of the upcoming fourth Rambo film, has described the current political climate...
from mpr: Shortly after taking office in 1999, Jesse Ventura writes he was asked to attend a meeting at the state Capitol. He says 23 CIA agents were waiting for him in a basement conference room. Ventura's account of the meeting is detailed in an advance copy of his new book, which is scheduled for release in April. He claims the agents' questions focused how he campaigned for office, or as Ventura writes "how had the independent wrestler candidate pulled this off?"

Ross: It reveals the extent to which Tom Cruise views everything in the world through the lens of Scientology. He is totally and completely indoctrinated. He sees himself as the chief visionary of Scientology, and it's obvious that the Church perceives him that way, too. He's essentially become their number-one missionary. What's shocking is how fully the line between "Tom Cruise the person" and "Tom Cruise the Scientologist" has been erased.

His lawyers said the documentary revealed evidence that prosecutors had wrongfully withheld — that at least one of the children who accused Friedman did so under hypnosis arranged by police.stallone: 'bold faced lying to pacify the masses'
from steve watson: Sylvester Stallone, star of the upcoming fourth Rambo film, has described the current political climate...
"The phrase ‘politically correct’ is basically a euphemism for bold face lying because unfortunately, lies keep society functioning. The day we have our politicians actually tell us the real truth, we’d have anarchy in the streets. So we’re told what they think will pacify the masses not inflame them."cia confirms meeting with jesse ventura
from mpr: Shortly after taking office in 1999, Jesse Ventura writes he was asked to attend a meeting at the state Capitol. He says 23 CIA agents were waiting for him in a basement conference room. Ventura's account of the meeting is detailed in an advance copy of his new book, which is scheduled for release in April. He claims the agents' questions focused how he campaigned for office, or as Ventura writes "how had the independent wrestler candidate pulled this off?"

microsoft readies hal 9000
"Just what do you think you're doing... ? I really think I'm entitled to an answer to that question."
from register: It gives a whole new meaning to the word "micromanager."
Judging from a recent patent application, Microsoft hopes to build some sort of "activity monitoring system" that keeps an eye on worker productivity using various "physiological or environmental sensors." These sensors would track everything from heart rate, respiration rate, body temperature, facial expressions, and blood pressure to brain signals and galvanic skin response.
Yes, galvanic skin response is what drives a lie detector.
Redmond sees this system as a way for companies and, um, governments to monitor "group activities." "In particular, the system can monitor user activity, detect when users need assistance with their specific activities, and identify at least one other user that can assist them," the patent application reads, in classic patent speak. "Assistance can be in the form of answering questions, providing guidance to the user as the user completes the activity, or completing the activity such as in the case of taking on an assigned activity."
In other words: If you don't do your duty, the system will make sure your duties are assigned to someone else.
