8月20日前后，多地報告發現不明光球。這是不是UFO？外星人是不是來了？關於這個問題，大家給出了不同答案。
這是一次重大的UFO事件
王思潮：這是一次重大的UFO事件。初步分析表明，它在內蒙古西部上空，高度估計在300公裡至400公裡，這個直徑約400公裡的光團，從不同角度看都是圓形，表明它是球狀。而且光團持續時間較長，估計有十來分鐘，光團的重心移動很慢，這些用人類的火箭等飛行器是很難解釋的。
它由特殊的空間飛行器一面旋轉，一面以180度大角度向外同時噴射，才能形成球狀光團。而且這個特殊的空間飛行器還需在十來分鐘內移動很慢和持續不斷的噴射氣體和大量細小顆粒，否則在這幾百公裡高的稀薄空間，很快會消失。如果這個空間飛行器移動快，或較快下落，也不可能形成這樣移動較慢的較完美光團。人類的火箭等飛行器也不會以180度大角度向外噴射，人類的火箭等飛行器的噴射角度較小。如果人類的火箭等飛行器爆炸，也不會形成這樣較完美的且持續時間較長的光團。
由於這個空間飛行器飛行高度很高，雖然內蒙古西部地面當時已入夜一個多小時，但陽光仍可照射到它噴射的氣體和大量細小顆粒，這些氣體和大量細小顆粒散射陽光，進而形成光團。（作者為中國科學院紫金山天文台研究員）
航天器或末級火箭燃料泄漏形成的氣泡
果殼網：類似的氣泡狀UFO並不是頭一次在地球上出現。最近一次有視頻記錄的此類事件就發生在兩個月前，美國夏威夷莫納克亞天文台望遠鏡圓頂外專職觀天的兩台網絡攝像頭拍下了整個過程。8月20日在北京附近目擊到的氣泡，除了沒有騰空而起以外，其他過程與這段視頻中記錄的現象幾乎一模一樣。
夏威夷事件后，天文學家Phil Plait綜合了網上的各種觀點后，給出了解釋：這是洲際彈道導彈第三級火箭熄火之后，剩余燃料在太空中迅速擴散而形成的。洲際彈道彈道導彈本質上與運載火箭相似，區別隻在於洲際彈道導彈運載的是彈頭，彈頭不會環繞地球作軌道飛行，而是作彈道飛行之后重返大氣層，攻擊遠處的目標。為了提高彈頭的命中精度，洲際彈道導彈的末級火箭必須精確按照設定時間准時熄火。在某些洲際彈道導彈上，這個“推進終止裝置”實際上就是定時爆炸裝置。時間一到，該裝置立即起爆，破開火箭艙室，突然降低內部氣壓，從而達到瞬間熄火的目的。由於末級火箭熄火時，洲際彈道導彈已經位於絕大多數大氣之上，基本處在近似真空的太空之中。剩余燃料在這種環境下會迅速膨脹形成球殼，反射高空中未被地球遮擋的陽光，同時迅速稀釋變淡。又由於火箭末級熄火時，導彈已經處在高速運動狀態，因此迅速膨脹的燃料氣殼也會高速運動。
北京出現的神秘氣泡也很可能跟夏威夷事件一樣，是某個航天器或者末級火箭在太空中泄漏燃料而形成的迅速擴散的氣泡。有網友分析了工程師馬勁在國家天文台興隆觀測基地間隔1分鐘連續拍攝的5張氣泡照片，結果發現從圖中可以一清二楚地看到：氣泡中心確實在向西北方向高速運動。

Federal gestapo illegally raid Gibson Guitar factories, arbitrarily confiscate millions of dollars worth of wood used to make instruments
Monday, August 29, 2011
by: Ethan A. Huff, staff writer
(NaturalNews) Due process under the law and assumed innocence before being proven guilty are two concepts that are apparently no longer applicable in the United States of America, at least as far as the federal government is concerned.
For the second time in two years, armed federal agents have illegally raided the manufacturing facilities of Gibson Guitars Corp., this time confiscating more than a million dollars worth of imported wood and ebony -- and they did so without proper notice or warning, without any valid reason, and without lawful charges of any kind.
Gibson, one of the world's premier guitar manufacturers, and a company that has continually tried to honestly and readily abide by domestic and international laws concerning its material sourcing while continuing to provide quality products to its customers, has for some reason landed in the cross fire of the federal gestapo.
Though Gibson has not violated any laws, and has gone above and beyond mandated requirements for sourcing sustainable wood and other materials for its instruments, the heavy hand of a bloated and out-of-control government has decided to unlawfully target the company for extinction.
According to a recent press statement made by Henry Juszkiewicz, Gibson's Chairman and CEO, armed marshals stormed the company's Nashville, Tenn., and Memphis, Tenn., manufacturing facilities on August 24, and proceeded to evacuate the buildings, shut down production, order all employees to go home, and steal more than a million dollars worth of rosewood and ebony that had been legally imported from India.
"It is extremely troubling," stated a calm and collected, but obviously shaken, Juszkiewicz during a recent press conference. "What is more troubling is that the Justice Department's position is that any guitar that we ship out of this facility is potentially an obstruction of justice, and to be followed with criminal charges."
US officials have actually refused to tell Gibson what it allegedly did wrong, and why the raid was conducted. The company was never notified of any potential violations prior to the raid, and no official charges were ever filed. By all appearances, the government simply decided one day to unlawfully storm the company's manufacturing units with loaded weapons, and is now attempting to destroy one of the last honest American manufacturers in existence.
"It is not illegal, it was exported legally, endorsed by the Indian government, it was Forest Stewardship Council recognized wood," stated Juszkiewicz concerning the stolen wood. "We're not in the wrong. We haven't actually been charged with any wrongdoing. And yet our entire operation has effectively been noticed to be shut down."
美國政府官員並不覺得他們甚至再需要一個理由去進行突襲
US government officials don't feel they even need a reason to perform raids anymore
The fact that the US federal government is refusing to disclose why it raided Gibson, as well as its added failure to press any proper legal charges against the company, suggests that there is truly no legitimate reason at all. Every guitar manufacturer imports rosewood and ebony from India and various other countries -- and many do not even have the same high quality standards as Gibson -- and yet, for whatever reason, Gibson has become the government's chosen target, despite the fact that it has broken no laws and has never been convicted of any crimes.
In today's America, in other words, government officials do not even need a legitimate reason to target a company, seize its goods, and shut it down. In total desecration of the rule of law, the federal government simply targets whomever it wants to these days, without reason or cause, and sends in its taxpayer-funded minions to perform the execution. In this case, the target is a leading US manufacturer of musical instruments.
While many other US instrument manufacturers have outsourced production to other companies, Gibson has hired 580 American employees in the past two years alone, which build its guitars domestically. It is one of the few major US companies that still produces a tangible, valuable product within the country's borders, and one that is led by a humble and forthcoming CEO who has chosen to stick his own neck out on the line in defense of his company and his employees.
But apparently none of this matters to the corrupt federal government which, ironically, is charged with defending and protecting companies like Gibson, not raiding and terrorizing them.
Be sure to watch Juszkiewicz's roughly 30-minute press conference here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_-t...
如果你擁有一部吉他，根據損壞萊西法你亦可能成為聯邦調查局目標
If you own a guitar, you too could be targeted by the Feds based on corrupted Lacey Law
Though federal officials have ordered that Gibson stop manufacturing and selling guitars, Juszkiewicz has instructed his employees to continue operations, indicating that he alone will take personal responsibility for any potential repercussions. Ceasing production indefinitely at the arbitrary command of federal officials, especially without a valid reason, would destroy the company.
So for the time being, Gibson is still manufacturing and distributing guitars, and waiting to see how the government responds. It is also trying to seek justice for the stolen wood, which was certified as legal and sustainable, though it has yet to make any considerable progress in this endeavor.
In the meantime, those who own Gibson guitars, and potentially even guitars of other brands, may want to prepare themselves for potential targeting by the federal government as well. The vague wording of the US Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Lacey Act of 2008, which is the law that was somehow used to warrant the Gibson raids, places all guitar owners and resellers in the cross fire of potential federal scrutiny.
"According to [The Lacey Act], if you bought a guitar from us and you resell it, you are criminally liable," stated Juszkiewicz. "Everyone who touches the product, the store owner who sells that guitar, is criminally liable. It doesn't matter whether you knew or not that there was some issue here. It's a pretty dangerous precedent in my opinion."
Coverage in the Calgary Herald adds that guitar owners who do not have proper documentation for their instrument could potentially face its confiscation if the Feds feel as though something about the guitar is in violation of the Lacey Act.
It does not matter if the guitar was produced in full accordance with the law -- if the government decides that some aspect of the guitar is in violation of the Lacey Act, it could theoretically seize it or any other wood-containing instrument at airports, country borders, and other areas, and even arrest the instrument owners in the process.
"Most people would say you have to know you did something wrong to do something wrong. This law says no, you don't have to have done anything wrong to be going to jail," added Juszkiewicz concerning the Lacey Act.
So there you have it. The US has literally devolved into an unbridled police state where the federal government freely raids companies, arrests innocent individuals, and performs other acts of domestic terrorism for absolutely no reason at all. The enemies of freedom that now run our government presume guilt rather than innocence, and they deny the constitutional protocols of due process that they are tasked with upholding in the process.
"People assume that if you're gonna be investigated by the federal government that you're guilty," stated Juszkiewicz about the lunacy of what his company now faces. "We can't even say that we're not guilty of this because we're just guilty of something that they can't tell us yet. Think about that, how do you respond to that?"

吉布森吉他的行政總裁是一共和黨捐助者;民主黨的競爭對手使用同樣的木材
CEO of Gibson Guitar a Republican donor; Democrat competitor uses same wood
By Andrew Lawton -
Fri Aug 26, 1:17 pm
On Thursday, the iconic Gibson Guitar Corporation issued a press release stating that government officials raided their Tennessee manufacturing facility over warrants concerning the legality of the importation of wood purchased from India that they use in their world famous guitars. The wood–which is certified and regulated by the Forest Stewardship Council–is not illegal, but rather subject to a domestic law in India frowns upon the processing of this wood by non-Indians. (Gibson uses American labor for the processing.)
Gibson’s press release claims that, while this incident marks the second raid of their facility in around two years, this is the first of the raids to cost the company time and resources, as they needed to shut down operations. It seems as though this was all for naught.
The release read:
The fact that the government would issue warrants based on their interpretation of another country’s laws is laughable–and scary–in and of itself, but that they would demonize an American, non-unionized (coincidentally, I’m sure) company for something that isn’t even a crime (especially not in the American lawbooks) is a gross misjustice. Keep in mind that the Indian government itself wasn’t involved in the Gibson warrants and raid.
This unfortunate event begs the question, Why Gibson?
Putting aside the presumably misguided motivation to enforce another sovereign nation’s laws, why would a homegrown American company be the target of the Department of Justice in the first place?
It’s worth pointing out that Henry E. Juszkiewicz, Gibson’s Chief Executive Officer, is a donor to a couple of Republican politicians. According to the Open Secrets database, Juszkiewicz donated $2000 to Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN07) last year, as well as $1500 each to Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN). Juszkiewicz also has donated $10,000 to the Consumer Electronics Association, a PAC that contributed $92.5k to Republican candidates last year, as opposed to $72k to Democrats. (The CEA did, however, contribute more to Democrats in the 2008 election cycle.)
When warrants as ridiculous such as these are issued and executed, there appears no other reason than because the company or individual at hand is being targeted, not because there is any sort of wrongdoing. As a company, Gibson is a legendary. They’ve done nothing wrong, except, apparently, deigning to have a Republican CEO.
The plot thickens, however.
One of Gibson’s leading competitors is C.F. Martin & Company. The C.E.O., Chris Martin IV, is a long-time Democratic supporter, with $35,400 in contributions to Democratic candidates and the DNC over the past couple of election cycles. According to C.F. Martin’s catalog, several of their guitars contain “East Indian Rosewood.” In case you were wondering, that is the exact same wood in at least ten of Gibson’s guitars.
The Gibson facility wasn’t raided over allegations of tax evasion, charges of embezzlement, or even something as drab as child labor. Not even close. It was raided over what the DOJ deems an inability to follow a vague domestic trade law in India (one that apparently the Indian government didn’t seem too concerned about enforcing) regarding a specific type of wood. Not illegal wood, just wood with obscenely specific procedural guidelines.
Stand with Gibson: They have the Law on their side, just not the government.

Gibson’s press release claims that, while this incident marks the second raid of their facility in around two years, this is the first of the raids to cost the company time and resources, as they needed to shut down operations. It seems as though this was all for naught.
The release read:
The Federal Department of Justice in Washington, D.C. has suggested that the use of wood from India that is not finished by Indian workers is illegal, not because of U.S. law, but because it is the Justice Department’s interpretation of a law in India. (If the same wood from the same tree was finished by Indian workers, the material would be legal.) This action was taken without the support and consent of the government in India.
On August 24, 2011, around 8:45 a.m. CDT, agents for the federal government executed four search warrants on Gibson’s facilities in Nashville and Memphis and seized several pallets of wood, electronic files and guitars. Gibson had to cease its manufacturing operations and send workers home for the day, while armed agents executed the search warrants. Gibson has fully cooperated with the execution of the search warrants.
The fact that the government would issue warrants based on their interpretation of another country’s laws is laughable–and scary–in and of itself, but that they would demonize an American, non-unionized (coincidentally, I’m sure) company for something that isn’t even a crime (especially not in the American lawbooks) is a gross misjustice.

Stand with Gibson: They have the Law on their side, just not the government.

On September 17th, Anonymous will flood into lower Manhattan, set up tents, kitchens, peaceful barricades and occupy Wall Street for a few months. Once there, we shall incessantly repeat one simple demand in a plurality of voices.
9月17日，匿名將湧入曼哈頓下區，搭建帳篷、廚房、和平路障及佔領華爾街幾個月。一旦在那裡，我們將以眾多的聲音無休止地重複一個簡單的要求：
We want Freedom
我們要自由
北約將蘇爾特夷為平地犯大屠殺
軍方車隊現身紐約市街頭
Keiser 報告：赤背對綠背
匿名2011年11月5日黑Facebook
今天佔據華爾街（作證 - 針對操縱組織核心集團的憤怒）
工會將加入佔領華爾街抗議
“明日之後”這電影其實是否項目藍光束的真正任務？

Baphomet在流行文化 (3)

Baphomet In Popular Culture
Secret Arcana
Translation by Autumnson Blog
Mostly due to the influence of Aleister Crowley and Anton Lavey on popular culture, references to Baphomet can be found throughout popular culture. In some cases, such as with heavy metal bands, the references are rather clear and unequivocal – these bands in no way conceal the influence of these schools of occultism on their imagery. Here are some examples:
大多是由於Aleister克勞利和安東 Lavey在流行文化上的影響 ，Baphomet的引用可發現於整個流行文化。在某些情況下例如重金屬樂隊，所引用的是相當清晰和毫不含糊 - 這些樂隊絲毫不掩飾在他們的圖像上這些神秘主義學校的影響力。有一些例子：
Death Metal Band Behemoth – Cover of Zos Kia Cultus
死亡金屬樂隊巨獸 - Zos Kia Cultus的封面
Death metal band The Black Dalia Murder – Album cover of Ritual.
死亡金屬樂隊黑達莉亞謀殺 - 儀式的專輯封面。
Marilyn Manson – Anti-Christ Superstar album cover
瑪麗蓮夢露 - 敵基督超級巨星的專輯封面
Rammstein’s Pussy refers to the androgyny of Baphomet. The second guy from the right also does the “As Above So Below” hand sign.
Rammstein的小貓是指Baphomet的雌雄同體，從右邊的第二個傢伙亦做出“如上因此如下”的手勢。
In mainstream (“corporate”) pop culture the references are a lot more vague and concealed. Aimed at a younger crowd, the references are existent but, probably not recognized and understood consciously by most of the audience. Here are some examples.
在主流（“企業”）流行文化中，引用是更多地較為模糊和隱蔽。針對年輕的一群，引用是存在的，但大多數觀眾自覺地可能地無法識別和理解。下面有一些例子：
Lady Gaga加加夫人
Pop singer Kerli.
流行歌手Kerli
Screen shot from the popular online game Ragnarok.
來自流行網上遊戲仙境的屏幕截圖
Album cover of “Baphomet” by Kiichi
由喜一的“Baphomet”專輯封面
Many more obscure references can be found by those “who have eyes to see”.
“有眼看的人”可以發現更多的模糊引用。
總結
In Conclusion
Baphomet is a composite creation symbolic of alchemical realization through the union of opposite forces. Occultists believe that, through the mastery of life force, one is able to produce magick and spiritual enlightenment. Eliphas Levi’s depiction of Baphomet included several symbols alluding to the raising of the kundalini – serpentine power – which ultimately leads to the activation of the pineal gland, also known as the “third eye”. So, from an esoteric point of view, Baphomet represents this occult process.
Baphomet是一個合成的創作，象徵著煉金術通過相反力量聯盟的實現。神秘學者相信，透過生命力量的掌握，一個人能夠產生麼法和精神啟蒙。 Eliphas列維的 Baphomet描寫包括了幾個符號，暗指昆達里尼 - 蛇紋石力量 - 的冒起，那最終導致松果體、也被稱為“第三只眼”的活化。所以，從深奧的角度看，Baphomet代表這神秘學的過程。
However, over time the symbol has come to signify much more than its esoteric meaning. Through controversies, Baphomet became, depending of the point of view, a representation of everything that is good in occultism or everything that is evil in occultism. It is, in fact, the ultimate “scapegoat”, the face of witchcraft, black magick and Satanism. The fact that the symbol is rather monstrous and grotesque has probably helped propel the symbol to its level of infamy as it never fails to shock organized religions while attracting those who rebel against them.
Since gaining widespread recognition in popular culture, the image of Baphomet is now used as a symbol of anything regarding occultism and ritualism. In corporate-owned mass media, which has ties with secret societies, the figure of Baphomet appears in the oddest places, often to audiences too young to understand the occult reference (Secret Arcana’s sister site Vigilant Citizen documents the occurrences of Baphomet and other occult symbols in music videos, movies and fashion). Is Baphomet used in pop culture as a symbol of the power of the occult elite over the ignorant masses?
After centuries of myths, hoaxes, propaganda and disinformation on both sides of the spectrum, can we truly answer the the original question posed by this article: “Who is Baphomet?”. Is it a symbol of Satan or of spiritual enlightenment? Is it a symbol of good or evil? The answer lies within the symbol itself: It is both. In Egyptian mythology, Toth Hermes was a mediating power between good and evil, making sure neither had a decisive victory over the other. Baphomet represents the accomplishment on this cosmic task on a very small scale, within oneself. Once perfect equilibrium is attained on a personal level, the occult initiate can point one hand towards the heavens and one hand towards the earth and pronounce this hermetic axiom which reverberated through millenniums: “As Above, So Below”.
