My friends and colleagues, let today be a day of joy and auspicious glee for all involved in the One World Conspiracy. After many a years hunting up and down the aisles of marginal internettical lunacy, I have discovered a blog that may indeed be the Unified Theory of Internet Madness.

Focus on your perineum, hose down your aura, and dip your evil-doing teeth into the bounty that is The Pseudo-Occult Media Blog!!!

Never before have maniacs gained so much by reaching so far.

I just came across this short essay on one of my favorite Kubrick films, Eyes Wide Shut. Too often panned, misunderstood, or just not considered, Eyes Wide Shut, is a labyrinthian journey through the deepest mysteries of human experience, it’s an adult-themed fairy tale in the tradition of Grimm that continues it’s kaleidescopic still-life of the human mind, in richer and richer complexities, after each subsequent viewing.

This also reminded me of a series of internet ramblings attempting to tie Eyes Wide Shut to Illuminati world governance and Mind Control. These essays (and there are a ton others to be googled) are fun afternoon reading for those who, like me, enjoy a study of people’s whose compulsion for myopic answers is only outweighed by their inability to comprehend art on a mytho/symbolic/non-literal level.

No doubt there are terrible experiments being played on the mind’s of hapless victims of all ages, sexes, and nationalities, but I have a hard time believing that someone who can’t manage to present their findings on a web page with less than a 20pt font is hot on the case. But perhaps that’s techno-bigotry (and right).

From the New Scientist article:

A US company claims it is ready to build a microwave ray gun able to beam sounds directly into people’s heads.

The device – dubbed MEDUSA (Mob Excess Deterrent Using Silent Audio) – exploits the microwave audio effect, in which short microwave pulses rapidly heat tissue, causing a shockwave inside the skull that can be detected by the ears. A series of pulses can be transmitted to produce recognisable sounds.

The device is aimed for military or crowd-control applications, but may have other uses.
