It comprises 80,000m². By the mid-1980s, this bioweapons section of Fort Detrick was receiving nearly $100 million per year, and this was only one of many sections.

Then, as late as 2000, we had Project Bacchus designed to determine the feasibility of constructing an anthrax production facility in a foreign country while remaining undetected. There were other of these programs of course, all with foolish names and all designed to assess the dissemination of infected insects and other lethal pathogens into civilian populations. They were kept very secret since they were illegal in domestic law and contravened international law and many weapons treaties that other nations signed with the US in good faith. In addition to Fort Detrick, the US military has a bioweapons ordnance plant at Vigo, Indiana, which was a massive production facility that specialised in biological pathogens, and capable of producing 275,000 bombs containing botulinum or one million anthrax bombs per month. The fermenter tanks at Vigo contained 250,000 Neutrophil immune cell engulfing anthrax bacteria gallons, or about one million litres, making it, according (Image: Volker Brinkmann) to reports, by far the largest bacterial mass-production facility in the world.

The division of the hour into 60 minutes is a legacy of the Babylonian astronomers, who used a sexagesimal system, that is, a base-60 framework, to study the heavens, and decided around 300 CE that all 24-hour periods should be of equal length.4 The Babylonians, in turn, borrowed their base-60 number system from the Sumerians, who may have used it as early as 5,000 years ago. But the concept of splitting the hour into 60 minutes and minutes into 60 seconds was likely inspired by The tuning fork creates only one, pure frequency Claudius Ptolemy who, around 150 CE, in his treatise

34 • NEXUS www.nexusmagazine.com APRIL – MAY 2020 Why Down-tuning or Up-tuning a Musical Instrument Changes its Timbre When proponents of 432Hz tuning say that their instruments sound "softer" than when tuned to 440Hz, or when 444Hz adherents say that their instrument feels "brighter" than when tuned to 440Hz, these are not merely subjective statements, but very real. Stringed instruments, such as the piano, cello, violin, guitar and harp, are manufactured to very precise string weights to achieve the optimum timbre of harmonic balance. If we down-tune a piano that uses 440Hz-designed strings, many of the higher harmonics will be reduced in amplitude, resulting in an overall softer timbre. The manufacturing calculations take into The Persian scholar, Al-Burini, circa 1000 CE consideration the concert pitch, string length, string density, string diameter and Almagest5, subdivided a circle into 360 degrees and tension.6,7 While some people may prefer the softer tonal subdivided each degree into 60 parts minuta prima, or quality, the manufacturer's precise specifications would "first minute", and the second segmentation, partes be skewed, having spent countless hours developing the secondae minutae or "the second minute" that became instrument to produce its optimum sound at 440Hz known as "the second". However, it was not until the tuning. Middle Ages that scientific studies reached a level of The manufacturer's precise tuning specifications would sophistication requiring a short period of time also be greatly altered by up-tuning, resulting in a measurement that the second was needed and brighter timbre, due to the higher harmonics becoming implemented. In all likelihood it was borrowed from more prominent. These principles apply to all stringed Claudius Ptolemy's geometry by the Persian scholar, al- instruments.

Music Medicine The question often arises: does one particular concert pitch offer greater healing benefits than others? Music therapy is a concept first espoused by Pythagoras of Samos around 2,500 years ago. He believed that music could be used in place of medicine and that it contributed greatly to health.10 It is now a clinical discipline and focuses on, for example, supporting patients with depression or relieving anxiety during the pre- and post-operative phases of a patient's hospitalisation. It is generally defined as an intervention Giuseppe Tartini, 1692–1770, violinist and composer in which "the therapist helps the client to promote health, mixtures of frequencies that occur naturally within any using music experiences and the [patient/therapist] musical instrument, regardless of our choice of concert pitch.

In a nutshell, music cannot bring dead blood cells back to life but it appears that it can repair the membranes of red blood cells that are in the transitory phase, a mechanism involving access to dissolved oxygen, thus resulting in them being counted as "live" by the automatic cell counter. In contrast, the transitory cells in the quiet environment and total absence of music are counted as dead after 20 minutes.

For each category of music and each concert pitch the sound level averaged 85 dBA. Following each 20-minute experiment, a red blood cell count was carried out for the blood from both the quiet environment and musical environment.

If it turns out that only 432 Hz creates this effect, it will open new avenues of research, with implications for musicians and possibly even for medical science. Another piece of interesting research is relevant to this discussion.20 The authors studied the response of infants to a range of musical frequency ratios to test whether or not they had a natural, biological predisposition to simple musical intervals, such as 2:1, 3:2 and 4:3, as opposed to the complex interval, 45:32. They concluded that infants (therefore people) are indeed preferentially sensitive to simple musical intervals, which they suggest may be due to the spectral structure of speech sounds. However, one must remember that the human preference for simple intervals holds true whether the concert pitch is 432, 440 or 444Hz or any other, because the ratios remain unaltered. Therefore, in this context the term "natural" can be applied to any concert pitch. In summary, simply immersing ourselves in music of moderate sound level appears to provide health benefits regardless of our choice of concert pitch. No evidence was found that one particular concert pitch is more natural than any other, regardless of its Excerpts from “The Power of Limits” book by György Dóczi arithmetic elegance. While there will be those who disagree with my conclusions, I remain open to new instruments (whether stringed or otherwise) contains the research, such as that offered by the crystallisation Phi ratio.

With this came a greatly increased demand for poultry and swine, two staples of the Chinese diet, along with the expansion of farms to raise them and the inevitable tons of waste that this brought.

What is Thermotherapy? Thermotherapy is the therapeutic application of any substance to the body that adds heat to the body resulting in increased tissue temperature. Thermotherapy also increases blood flow which facilitates tissue healing by supplying protein, nutrients, and oxygen at the site of injury. Studies have shown that a 1°C increase in tissue temperature is associated with a 10% to 15% increase in local tissue metabolism. The increase in tissue metabolism assists in the healing process by removing the metabolic by-products of tissue damage and provides the environment for tissue repair.

Why Use Far Infrared? The circulatory system is responsible for the delivery of oxygen-rich blood and the removal of wastes. Far infrared rays have been found to have a blood circulation enhancing effect in human skin, eventually inducing an increase in temperature of the body tissues.

In the second half of the nineteenth century, the therapeutic application of sunlight known as heliotherapy gradually became popular. In 1855, Rikli from Switzerland opened a thermal station in Veldes in Slovenia for the provision of helio-therapy3. In 1877, Downes and Blunt discovered by chance that sunlight could kill bacteria4. They noted that sugar water placed on a windowsill turned cloudy in the shade but remained clear while in the sun. Upon microscopic examination of the two solutions, they realised that bacteria were growing in the shaded solution but not in the one exposed to sunlight. In 1904, the Danish physician Niels Finsen was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his work on UV treatment of various skin conditions. He had a success rate of 98 per cent in thousands of cases, mostly the form of cutaneous tuberculosis known as lupus vulgaris5. Walter H. Ude reported a series of 100 cases of erysipelas (a cutaneous infection caused by Streptococcus pyogenes) in the 1920s, with high cure rates using irradiation of the skin with UV light6. Emmett K.

In Although the entire body of evidence on the mechanisms an ironic quirk of fate, this historical time period of action of UBI is very complex, we can attempt to draw coincided with the widespread introduction of penicillin some general conclusions. antibiotics, which were rapidly found to be an even Firstly UBI is clearly an example of the well-known bigger medical miracle therapy. Moreover another major phenomenon called "hormesis" or "biphasic dose success of UBI, which was becoming increasingly used to response". This phenomenon has been well reviewed by treat polio, was also eclipsed by the introduction of the Edward Calabrese from the University of Massachusetts Salk polio vaccine in 195591. UBI had originally been an Amherst73,74. The basic concept states that any toxic American discovery, but then was transitioned to being chemical substance or drug, or any physical insult (such more studied in Russia and other eastern countries, which as ionising radiation, hyperthermia, or oxidative stress) can be beneficial, protective or even therapeutic, provided the dose is low enough. If the dose is increased, the beneficial or protective effects disappear, and if the dose is even further increased, then the detrimental effects of the treatment become very evident. This is clearly shown by Knott's original experiments on dogs that led to the establishment of only 5–7 per cent of total blood volume as the optimal amount of blood to be irradiated. UBI appears to have three broadly different classes of effects on different blood components. In the case of neutrophils, monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells, UBI can activate phagocytosis, increase the secretion of NO and reactive nitrogen species, and convert the DC phenotype from an immunogenic one into a tolerogenic one, thus perhaps lessening the effects of a "cytokine storm" as is often found in Figure 2: Proposed mechanisms of UBI sepsis.

In addition, one can travel by a different means called "gravity in the direction of flight". This is an ultra-fast means of mass transit or private transportation, where you can travel to any place on Earth in less than one hour.

"Gravitationalising" a Magnetic Field Beginning with the very first experiment conducted in May 1987, unusual effects began to occur. But these odd effects occurred randomly. So we made careful observations until we determined their cause. At first, we eliminated the cause, but later established conditions required for reproducing the effects at will. Conditions required for reproducing these effects allowed for the expulsion, capture and accumulation of energy releases into the rotating magnetic fields of the apparatus. Typically, when energy is released from any device or vehicle, whether it's from an Image 1: This photograph shows some of the structural and automobile or plane, the energy gets component changes made to the apparatus over the period dispersed into the environment. That energy of investigation (1986–1999). is lost and becomes a waste product or Inset: Photograph of original experimental apparatus, assembled in May 1987. pollutant. On the other hand, when energy (in this case electrons) is released, captured and accumulated, until it reaches very high proportions or intensities within the rotating magnetic fields, unusual effects begin to occur in the surrounding environment, under certain conditions. As time went on, our team of investigators had many discussions about the experimental effects and their implications, soon referring to some of those effects as "gravitationalising" a magnetic field. Why? While we have learned how to use magnetic fields to accelerate electrons of atoms into linear conductive paths creating an electrical current flow, we have not yet been able to alter magnetic fields so that they additionally cause the nuclei of atoms to accelerate along with the electrons. But when a rotating magnetic field becomes Image 2: This photograph depicts the apparatus prior to the "electrified", it acts upon the total makeup of start of a particular experiment, which was conducted on all atoms and a one-way (linear) movement on January 18, 1996, almost two hours after sunset. all matter objects occurs, similar to an object falling in a gravitational field. gravity and time are eliminated, the entire Universe This causes the magnetic field to act like gravity, opens up to our exploration. keeping in mind magnetic fields can be made much With the use of this new science and technology, stronger than gravity.

The energy injection principal requires energy to be accelerated and induced intermittently into a specially designed vehicle, into the direction of travel and can be compared to pushing a swing at the right moment. The energy injection principal can also be compared to throwing a ball. Energy is induced from the person throwing the ball into the ball's atoms, causing the ball to accelerate in the direction of the applied action. This causes an energy gain to each of the atom's electrons in the ball. This energy gain then causes the ball's electrons to move in ellipses Image 4.

But due to outside forces, such as gravity, its energy becomes stabilised and is subject to the outside force, because the ball has lost its stress field energy and falls to the ground. To keep the ball moving in its flight path, periodic timed energy inducements are required. Perhaps this can be accomplished by somehow catching up to the ball while in flight and throwing it again, just before the ball begins to follow a curved downward path toward the Earth's surface or by inventing a means of energy inducement, using a device that is placed in and affixed to the ball. It is the same device that can be placed in a craft to cause linear acceleration in any Image 5.

Since these electrons have gained rotational energy in their path, this energy is given off and is attracted to the nucleus, creating a locked fixed condition. Since the nucleus and electrons are locked together, the entire atom has no alternative but to move in the applied blocking force direction. The nucleus then receives the energy to the point of its threshold, then gives off its energy to the electrons and the process is repeated, as the electrons reach their threshold and release energy back to the nucleus. If the electron elliptical path is overextended, the threshold is exceeded. Then the electrons escape the nucleus and energy is Image 6.

What the Buddha really taught Buddhism is regarded as a religion which is following the teaching of the Buddha, yet this is not so. Although Ti- betan, Chinese and Zen Buddhism have many of the original discourses of the Buddha among their texts, they also have a large selection of other texts of a different origin; these latter works are the main basis of their teach- ings. The Buddhist groups of south east Asia and Sri Lanka also misrepresent the original teaching – this in spite of having the original Pali texts of the Buddha as documents in their monasteries. David Maurice published a book of English translations of the core discourses of the Buddha in 1962 and then an introductory book on the Buddha’s teaching in 1980. David was an Australian who spent 40 years living in Burma, during this period he learnt Pali the language the Buddha’s discourses were written in. In the 1950’s he became the editor of a magazine called The Light of the Dhamma, dedicated to systematically translate all the Buddha’s teaching into English. These translations were being done by David and several Buddhist monks. David had been very disappointed that the Buddha’s teaching had been misinterpreted by Buddhists all over Asia. In his memory the above two books have been brought back into print in a single volume under the original title The Lions Roar. The translations of the discourses have been left untouched. However the introductory sec- tion has been updated and expanded by the editor as a guide for anyone wishing to put the Buddha’s teaching into practice in the modern world. It is as relevant today as it was 2500 years ago. The original teaching of the Buddha is not a religion – religions are based on acceptance. It is an examination of life, with suggestions by the Buddha as to how best to go about this. Contact Van Klaphake on 02 9602 8589 or 02 6585 8012

Secret History of Australia Conference

Bill Gammage Falsified History I — Landscape Management Author of The Biggest Estate on Earth, Bill Gammage reveals a stunning fact: for over 40,000 years the Aboriginal people of this country had been carefully shaping the land to create a productive and beautiful landscape which the early white settlers most often described as resembling an “English parkland”.

Steven and Evan Strong Skulls that Rewrite History A growing number of ancient mystery hominin skulls have been found in Victoria. In one case the skulls were reburied, thus denying any further research. Two years ago, several similar skulls were found in another location in Victoria, and are being examined by a team of researchers, who believe the skulls have the potential to rewrite human history.

Stella Wheildon (with Allan Euston Williams) Starlore, ETs and Origins Starlore of the Origine (original) people is part of the creation lore (Bootheram). Before patriarchal culture, the southern continent held its ancestral matristic lore since the Alcheringa (the beginning of the Dreamtime) which was several million years and several ice ages ago. Lionel Lauch and Duncan Roads Mysterious Creatures and more For two hundred years, white people have reported encounters with yowies, giant lizards and snakes, “little people”, mountain lions and panthers; and places where people disappear. Now hear the original version. Order via www.NexusMagazine.com (& links to stream) DVDs $29 + postage in Aus; $26.36 + postage worldwide Boxed set $210 +p&p Aus; $190.91 + postage worldwide

Secret History of Australia Conference

Steven and Evan Strong Slater and the Standing Stones Often referred to as the “Aboriginal Stonehenge”, this standing stone formation in northeastern NSW was examined extensively by archaeologists in the early 20th century, only to be covered up and partly demolished in attempts to deflect growing attention. Fresh attempts to have the stone formation recognised, or at least examined properly, are being hindered by government intervention. Bruce Pascoe Falsified History II — Agricultural practices Using early explorers' journals and other evidence, Bruce Pascoe — author of Dark Emu — shows precolonial Aboriginal people were not hunter-gatherers, but had a democracy that ensured peace across a continent which was complete with housing, extensively farmed, skilfully managed and deeply loved. Duncan Roads and Trent Lynwood Interview Aboriginal Prophecy and the End of Days The End of Days is a prophecy that has been long awaited by the Origine people. It is the end of the darkness and a "return" of the spirit of the Dreaming. This epoch-long prophecy is being spoken of now, because it is expected to happen soon... Duncan Roads Challenging Out of Africa Why we need a rewrite of history: LIDAR reveals vast ancient cities under the jungles of Cambodia and Guatemala; artefacts, bones and art challenge "Out of Africa" pushing occupation back from 65,000–100,000 years ago; Kumari Kandam, a semi-mythical sunken landmass that joined Madagascar, India and parts of northwestern Australia.
