A Monkey’s Tale

Thanks to the reader who sent in this passage with accompanying cartoon originally posted on Godlike Productions, a humorous analogical commentary on Stanford and her following:

“Imagine if you will, a bunch of monkeys trying to survive on a tropical island. Most of the monkeys live in trees and they spend much of their day foraging for bananas. But then there are a few monkeys who decide to live on the beach because they believe that someday, an endless supply of bananas will be come from the ocean. According to monkey legend…

===============================================
“The God of all monkeys, Ooh-ah, knows of the suffering endured by good monkeys. Ooh-ah in his boundless love, will save them. A fresh, endless supply of bananas shall appear, floating, by the sea, washed upon the beach, on the 3rd day following the midnight dance of red beach crabs, in the dead calm of seas resting after its forces have lashed the shores for a full month. This fruit will only bear to those monkeys who wait in readiness by the beach. The time is near. Ooh-ah, Ooh-ah, Ooh-ah.”
===============================================

Their beach is inhospitable. It is washed away intermittently, sandy, salty, intense sunlight, they battle the elements, survive on fewer bananas… but they stay. Their convinction is steadfast, that endless bananas await them.

Biologically, in the game of survival and evolution, which monkeys will prosper, and survive long and well enough to pass their genes onto the next generation? What will become of the hopeful monkeys on the beach?”

Amitakh Stanford as the monkey god Ooh-ah, and her devout following beneath.

Doubt cast on Stanford’s claim of “significant increase” in alien activity

It was claimed that alien activity in the skies would increase significantly in the months from September to November in Stanford’s article Heartstrings #2. Much of that period has now passed, so it is an opportune time to check whether the predicted increase in alien activity actually happened. The writer did not notice any alien activity in those months, but did others? See page here.

“White House: No contact with aliens, but we’re looking”

A recent statement by the US government directly challenges the guts of Stanford’s story:

“The US Government has no evidence that any life exists outside our planet, or that an extraterrestrial presence has contacted or engaged any member of the human race”

“In addition, there is no credible information to suggest that any evidence is being hidden from the public’s eye.”

Stanford adherents would argue that the US government must be lying. But the government openly addresses this in the quote in saying there is simply no credible information of a cover-up.

When there is no evidence of alien contact, and when the US government categorically states there has been no alien contact, maybe in fact, there hasn’t been, and Stanford’s fantastical alien stories are just that.

Decision-making with the heart

A new poem of Stanford’s titled “Follow your heart” is broad and general, obviously meant for the beginner or those who have long taken to the Stanford mindset, offering little new it seems but some run-of-the-mill Stanford doctrine for guidance, and reassurance.  Reflections here.

More evidence to support Darwin’s Theory of Evolution, or Stanford’s “fiction”

In Stanford’s essay, Heartstrings #3, Darwin’s theory of evolution is dismissed as fiction. Yet the missing link in progression of species, that until now may have undermined the theory, seems to have been found, as described in the Telegraph article “Caveman from 2m years ago may be missing link” (Sept, 2011).  Being able to trace evolution of Homo Sapien back millions of years through fossilized creatures would seem to provide a remarkably strong case against Stanford’s “science fiction” claim.

To quote Richard Dawkins: “One thing all real scientists agree upon is the fact of evolution itself. It is a fact that we are cousins of gorillas, kangaroos, starfish, and bacteria. Evolution is as much a fact as the heat of the sun. It is not a theory, and for pity’s sake, let’s stop confusing the philosophically naive by calling it so. Evolution is a fact.” 

Sunscreen tablet in 5 years defuses Chiappalone’s prophecy of alarming increase in skin cancer rate

In his essay “Review of Prophecies“, Chiappalone notes that “skin cancer is increasing at an alarming rate”.  Yet a recent article in the Guardian, “Sunscreen pill could be available within five years, scientists say” (August 2011), suggests that a tablet could prevent sunburn in humans, providing protection against harmful UV rays in a way similar to that used by corals.  This would presumably ultimately result in a major decrease in skin cancer rate.

Science is bad, and foreseen Korean bloodshed with new base

Stanford in her most recent essay foresees the move by the US to set up a military base in South Korea raising tensions and leading to Korean bloodshed, and expresses her dislike of science in promoting in people disillusionment with spirituality.  Naturally, unseen aliens are involved in both.
