'In a future society based on pleasure without moral worries, love is prohibited but casual sex, now called 'engaging', is strongly encouraged. Everyone is kept happy with a legal drug, soma. People are hatched and cloned on conveyor belts to meet the requirements of five different social classes, from ruling Alphas to robot-like Epsilons. Bernard Marx is a different Alpha male with an inclination to thinking. He and a girl called Lenina Disney go visit a reservation of "savages" where they meet a handsome young man John and bring him back to "civilization". John turns out to be the son of the director of the cloning authority, which causes a scandal and makes John a celebrity freak. John falls in love with Lenina but his desire is ruined by his antiquated sexual morale derived from reading Shakespeare. John hates the over-social but anti-emotional civilization, asks to be sent to live in isolation, and gets a job as a lighthouse guard. But even there he can't forget Lenina or escape his celebrity status.' (Record Brother audio stream part 1 & part 2).

Research journalist Kent Daniel Bentkowski talks to Greg Kaminsky (of Occult Of Personality podcast) about Ascended Masters and in particular the character known as Le Comte De Saint Germain (or The Count Of Saint Germain).
'The Count Of Saint Germain has been variously described as a courtier, adventurer, charlatan, inventor, alchemist, pianist, violinist and amateur composer, but is best known as a recurring figure in the stories of several strands of occultism - particularly those connected to Theosophy (in the teachings of Theosophy, he is referred to as the Master Rakoczi or the Master R; in the Ascended Master Teachings he is referred to simply as St. Germain). Some sources write that his name is not familial, but was invented by him as a French version of the Latin Sanctus Germanus, meaning "Holy Brother"'.

Kerry Wendell Thornley met Lee Harvey Oswald while in the United States Marines in 1959. Later that year Thornley was transferred to Atsugi in Japan.
In 1962 Thornley wrote The Idle Warriors, a novel about a disgruntled marine who defects to the Soviet Union. The book was based on Thornley's knowledge of Oswald. The following year Thornley moved to New Orleans where it was claimed he associated with Guy Banister, David Ferrie and Clay Shaw. Oswald was also living in the city at that time but Thornley insisted that the two men never met during this period. The two men were also both in Mexico City in September 1963.
The FBI were aware of Thornley's novel and so after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy he was asked to testify before the Warren Commission.
Jim Garrison later claimed that Thornley and Lee Harvey Oswald were involved together in covert CIA operations. He also argued that Thornley had impersonated Oswald between the years 1961 and 1963. In his book On the Trail of the Assassins (1988) Garrison insists that Thornley was friends with another possible conspirator, Johnny Roselli.
In 1992 Thornley appeared on a television programme, A Current Affair. He confessed that he had been part of a conspiracy to assassinate John F. Kennedy. However, he did not give the names of his fellow conspirators.
Kerry Wendell Thornley died in 1998. He had been working on a book with the journalist Sondra London. The book, Confession To Conspiracy To Assassinate JFK was published in 2000.

Laffoley has participated in over 200 exhibitions, both national and international and in 1990 he became a registered architect. In 1992, during a routine CAT scan on his head, a piece of metal, 3/8 of an inch long, was discovered in the occipital lobe of his brain.

The Book Of The Law is the central sacred text of Thelema, written (or received) by Aleister Crowley in Cairo, Egypt in the year 1904. It contains three chapters, each of which was written down in one hour, beginning at noon on April 8th, 9th, and 10th. Crowley claims that the author was an entity named Aiwass, which he refered later to as a praeter-human intelligence. The book's three chapters delight, mystify and terrify as the Goddess Nuit, the mysterious Hadit and the chilling Ra Hoor Khuit issue their proclamation through Aiwass. This audio recording captures the majesty and drama of the revelation of The Book Of The Law.

'Eerie noises can be heard in audio files made from data collected by the Cassini-Huygens mission to Saturn.
'NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory has posted links to sound files released over the past several years by the mission team, timed to coincide with Halloween. Most are not actually sound recordings, but the result of converting non-audio data like magnetic field measurements into sound using computers.
'The resulting sounds are quite bizarre. One of them, made from data collected near Saturn's moon Enceladus by the Cassini spacecraft's magnetometer, sounds to my ears like an alien spaceship taking off and landing. In reality, it records fluctuations in the magnetic field around Cassini due to the presence of charged particles.' (New Scientist article & NASA audio archive). media-underground.net
