"For the first time, astronomers have spotted a cosy alien planet that might be hospitable to life. The planet is not much bigger than the Earth, and it enjoys balmy temperatures of about 20° C (68° F) as well as spectacular scarlet sunsets."

Just so you all know, the planet is mine. I plan on selling it on Ebay.

"There's not enough energy in the infrared photons to carry out anything resembling photosynthesis. Liquid water is necessary but not sufficient for life resembling ours."

Tree-sized mushrooms? Some things don't like ultraviolet.

1909 – Meeting of The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, quoted from the minutes of the meeting. “The trustees of the Foundation brought up a single question. If it is desirable to alter the life of a single people, is there any means more efficient than war…. They discussed this question…… for a year and came up with an answer: There are no known means more efficient than war, assuming the objective is altering the life of an entire people. That leads them to a question: How do we involve the United States in a war?

[Written by former U.S. Congressman Norman Dodd, testified that he was invited to study the minutes of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace: Report from Iron Mountain, New York, Dell Pub., 1967].

I don't know whether the quote by Dodd is true or not. However, it has long been known that REPORT FROM IRON MOUNTAIN was a piece of fiction. There never was such a group, it didn't issue a report, and several years ago the author successfully sued a "right-wing extremist" group for republishing the book and violating his copyright.

I wouldn't buy that for a million dollars, but enviromentalists and liberals would.

O.K. So what kind of people would be there? We have black and white people running all around right here for a reason. One color reflects infrared and the other one reflects ultraviolet. It also means one color absorbs infrared and the other absorbs ultraviolet. I am approaching this logically because I forgot this.

Red has a longer wavelength than ultraviolet. Which also means red has a lower frequency than ultraviolet. We know there is a lot of ultraviolet on our equator and people have dark skin there. And not much ultraviolet farther north where infrared is needed.

Could we have a planet there of white aliens? Hiring illegal aliens from other planets to do what they are too lazy to do? Just an exercise between skin color and wavelength. Am I wrong?

Red would be the new white, blue would be the new black.

At least that is how it would look to our eyes. To their eyes it would be black and white.

Just my guess...

“The Report From Iron Mountain was a hoax written by Leonard C. Lewin in 1967 and published by the Dial Press. The idea for the Report came from Victor Navasky. In 1966, Navasky, then editor of the satiric Monocle magazine, read an article in the New York Times on a stock market downturn due to a “peace scare”. This gave him an idea for a report that would get people thinking about a peacetime economy (the hoax came out during the Vietnam War) and the futility of the arms race. With these aims in mind, Lewin wrote the hoax.”

****this is inaccurate and is a signficant lie. It is the government and the author following up, that was mitigating the results for deceptive purposes. Secondly, for a hoax, why are ALL the recommendations in effect. Also, Congressman Norman Dodd did in fact view the minutes of the 1909 meeting, that in fact led us and England to orchestrate WWI. This is documented by quotes and history.

I do mean that the MSM and Wikipedia is either lying or misinformed and have failed to conduct more research. I was not referring to you in particular. The MSM on this is way off track. There is a bigger agenda that is present, and after studing this specific agenda for the past year, being overseas involved in Government contracts, long story short, certain things opened my eyes.....
