1235 Planets Discovered By NASA Kepler By Article Chase Technology 5th April, 2011 Life beyond our planet is not such a fantasy or part science fiction novel when you consider the findings of a prolific planet finding mission hosted by the NASA Kepler Space Observatory – a spacecraft detecting planets orbiting stars. Some 1235 planets and more have been discovered subject to confirmation to date. Photographic evidence of planets crossing their neighboring sun’s have been recorded by the Kepler mission, which is discovering planets faster than at any other point in human history. One of these planets could hold the key to answers that is on the lips of many scientists and theorists around the world, “are we alone in the Universe?” Science tells us that there are probably as many planets in our part of the Universe as there are grains of sand on our planet, which in many scientific minds translate as ‘life on Planet Earth is definitely not just a fluke.’ So what of the planets currently discovered by the Kepler team? The question is answered with a shrewd “we just do not know,” but theoretically the probability of one planet holding the answers to potential life is quite high. Whether life on another world is primitive bacteria or intelligent beings the fact remains that some of these planets have the potential to have life just from the position in relation to neighboring stars (if the chemistry is right.) The amount of planets being discovered just from the data fielded has yet to be properly assessed, but the possibilities are seemingly limitless. Small worlds orbiting giant stars thousands of times the size of our sun, to giant planets revolving around small suns the imagination can go wild. In an interview with Space.com David Rowe who produced the inset graphic of some of the planets discovered to show science and the world a little more detail about the discoveries, he stated "The graphic itself has been great to show to people. There is lots of interesting astrophysics that one can present," Rowe, a member of the Kepler team at NASA's Ames Research Center and the SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) Institute. “My favorite one so far is that planets can be just as big as some of the smallest stars." The graphic actually shows our own sun in relation to sizing and how it looks in relation to the other planetary discoveries. Our own Earth and Jupiter can be seen sweeping across the sun, which helps show just how large or how small some of the stars and planets are. Apparently 54 of the 1235 planets that have been discovered by the Kepler team are within what is termed the ‘Goldilocks-Zone’, which theoretically suggests a planet that distance from a star could hold liquid H2O (water), and an abundance of other atmosphere building chemicals. So in principle it is not just blowing smoke when suggesting that alien-life could be just on our own doorstep in the Universe. The Kepler spacecraft is tuned so that it looks at one point in space, looking for slight changes in light around stars, this has produced the results that the Kepler team has been theorizing about for many years. After Kepler’s data has been recorded about a possible planet (exo-planet) the information is then confirmed by astronomers using different telescopes. NASA sent the Kepler craft into orbit in 2009 and expects the telescope to keep transmitting data and staring into space until November 2012.

Thou hast power only to act not over the result thereof. Act thou therefore without prospect of the result and without succcumbing to inaction. The mind acts like an enemy for those who do not control it...Perform your obligatory duty, because action is indeed better than inaction...Sever the ignorant doubt in your heart with the sword of self-knowledge. Observe your discipline. Arise. The Bhagavad Gita
When I was a kid the "White Coats" solemnly assured us that planets were very very rare and it would be unlikely to find too many other Solar Systems like our own. Of course in the 1950's airliners were all propeller driven until the 707 came on the scene. The 4 engine, all propellers, Constellation was regarded as one of the great achievements since it had the largest capacity of any airliner up to its time. Putting a man on the moon was still considered "pie in the sky". The interesting thing about scientific consensus and our worldview is not to let ourselves be limited by what we know now. That will change, and with it the universe in which we live. really, its much more pathetic than the witch doctors. if you don't know whats in your own neighborhood, its adolescent hubris to tell everyone you know whats outside of it, in spite of your local ignorance. like little babies playing....pat them on the head, tell them to go to walmart, where they can be with their own kind, and impress the mushroom people.

In many ways that is often the case. It comes down always to Clarke's Law of Revolutionary Ideas: Every revolutionary idea - in Science, Politics, Art or Whatever - evokes three stages of reaction. 1. "It is impossible - don't waste my time." 2. "It is possible, but it is not worth doing." 3. "I said it was a good idea all along."

if there are no coincidences, then the only conclusion left is that its all a dog and pony show. then, do you find the cheat codes and write your own script, or let the archons and assorted 4thD riff raff do it?

But will "HE" turn it into vino? "The person who agrees with you 80 percent of the time is a friend and an ally — not a 20 percent traitor" - Ronald Reagan
The first step in breaking free is to do as you have already done and that is we live under a regime of intense information management. It was actually my interest in archaeology, combined with a lecture I attended in the mid 70's, that began my wake-up. Oh, there were other factors - let us just say that from an early age I was taught to think for myself and not robotically agree with the prevailing "wisdumb". Most people do not realize the extent of the information control. No piece of information is allowed into a major newspaper or on the Tee Bee if it cuts across the social control paradigm. A lot of people mistakenly believe that it is just information about the actions of Jews but it extends to vast fields of information - particularly in science and history. You first have to "get" the viewpoint of the controllers and that is knowledge is only useful if it enhances their power and control. I repeat: The viewpoint of the controllers is that knowledge is only useful if it enhances their power and control. Thus science simply for the sheer joy of discovery and understanding has no meaning to them and in fact discoveries of new knowledge can, by them, be viewed as very threatening and something to be suppressed. Thus entire fields of knowledge have been suppressed and actively manipulated so that the vast herd "thinks the right way". This holds true in Physics, Anthropology, Biology (all of those Microbiologists that have died, many under suspicious circumstances, - over 200 in the last ten years can be best understood as suppression of threatening, to the controllers, knowledge) (as well the assassination of the scientific and engineering intelligentsia in Iraq in order to remove the knowledge base which would allow them to rebuild), Archaeology, Chemistry, and on and on. Knowledge suppressed because it might be a game changer threatening complete social control by the Psychiatric elite who work under the auspices of the Rothschilds and their cronies. Once someone "gets" that and also comes up the line far enough to look at the scale the controllers, the Banksters and Psychiatrists, are now working at can they see the entire envelope of control.
It really does not matter. As long as we can keep jerks like Neocon Ambassador to the U.N. out of the White House, we will be O.K.

Compared to the knowledge that this planet, and those in power have, this is about 9000 years in the past. The powers that be know, and have always known the true history of the human race, and will ALWAYS lie, and keep it forever shrouded in mystery. 54 planets with water on them. Wow, fantastic. Will we ever go to them? Some will, but for the most part the only people who give a shit are the ones who feel that they are forever trapped as slaves on this one. WE ARE TRAPPED ON A SLAVE PLANET. This notion that somehow, some day God coming back to this little world, to make everything right, judge everyone accordingly and free those slaves and send them to heaven is pretty laughable as more than 144,000 people in this world have suffered indignity and horror at the hands of the very people God supposedly appointed to watch over us. It's all a fucking lie, and a joke on the human race that we talk about being free people, but at every goddamned turn the truth is, we are NOT free at all. Even on this site, there are those people who watch, read and take the names down of those people who they think are a threat to the status quo, and yes there ARE people who do that on every political forum. We are NOT free to think, or do as we wish, and this planet is a trap and a holding pen for all. The power elite control ALL of the news, all of the history, and they control the past, present and future of knowledge. It's how they've stayed on top and in power for so long. Cloning is also an example of science that none of us will ever get to experience, but the uber elite already do. Are you going to tell me that 4 generations or Rothschilds look absolutely identical? Who has the time to watch the grand experiments that have been conducted on this planet since 1913 unfold? I started to think about things completely differently about 3 days ago when I saw something on the web that made me think about where all of this is headed. There are two truths. The truth that they show us, which is false, and the truth that inside we instinctively know, and should pursue. We are pursuing truths that benefit only those who keep oppressing us on a global scale, and they need our devotion and enslavement to those ideas that they have fed us over the last 9000 years. It needs to stop. If we are to be free, all of this must pass away.
