The Temple Mount UFO. Jerusalem, 1/28/11.

by Evan 057 — Categories: ET's ED's & exopolitics, religion, science, technology, video12 Comments

I saw this first video a couple days ago and my first impression was that of utter astonishment.  (If you watch full-screen you can see flashing red lights in the sky after the ‘orb’ flew back up.)

Even though the reactions of the two guys seem so authentic, I quickly became skeptical and considered it to be fake.   Today, more videos, such as those below, have cropped up recording the same event, and again, the people’s reactions are just way to real for this to be simply post editing effects.  Whether it’s alien in origin or some type of human-made, holographic technology, it seems to have actually occurred:

and the following was taken by the other guy from the first video:

and here is all three synchronized:

The video below also was released which has been shown to be a hoax made with this photo.   The other videos still haven’t been throughly debunked, however.

UPDATE:  The exact same event (descending orb, flashing red lights) also occurred at the same time in Utah.  Footage & news report:

and a few weeks earlier this interesting footage was recorded at the same location in Jerusalem.  Notice the tourist in the grey shirt pointing at the object before it comes into frame.

UPDATE 3:  DANG IT!!  Looks like the other 1/28 Dome of the Rock videos are part of a hoax too.  So annoying! >.<

The Cultural Mobius Strip & Psychedelic Mechanics (Erik Davis & James Kent videos)

I found this talk given by Erik Davis at the 2010 Horizons Conference in NYC a very enjoyable and accurate delineation of the psychedelic renaissance landscape:

In the video, Erik describes James Kent’s Psychedelic Information Theory, which you can learn more about from watching his excellent presentation at the 2010 Psychedelic Science Conference in San Jose:

Colombian shaman arrested in TX, charged with Ayahuasca possession

Help Free A Major Indigenous Leader Imprisoned in the U.S.

From http://www.freetaitajuan.org/

On Tuesday, October 19, 2010 while en route to leading traditional Ayahuasca ceremonies in Oregon, indigenous Colombian healer Juan Agreda Chindoy was detained in the Houston International Airport. He was formally arrested by ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) for possession of his traditional medicine Ayahuasca. He is now being charged as a federal criminal and is facing up to 20 years in federal prison. Taita Juan is certified by his community and by the Colombian ministry of health as a traditional healer. He is one of the few remaining indigenous spiritual leaders in the world that holds the ancestral medicinal knowledge of an ecosystem that is rapidly disappearing. Taita Juan is a father, a husband and a godfather to more than 20 children. With more than 3000 supporters from several countries in the world, his life and work have touched many.

UPDATE:  ALL CHARGES DROPPED!!   :D
