Terence McKenna’s Final Earthbound Interview
In this last video interview before his untimely death, Terence McKenna describes Novelty Theory to director John Hazard with an elaboration of its core principles involving hyper-complexification and the compression of Time. He holds forth on the correspondences between the structure of the DNA molecule and the Chinese I-Ching, then shows how his notion of an Archaic Revival leads from the theories of mind and the art movements of the early 20th century to the Shaman as the quintessential figure of the 21st century, with psychedelic substances being the bridge between these worldviews.

Mike Rugg’s DNA Project Update CryptomundoMike Rugg of Bigfoot Discovery Project gives the latest on efforts to break down the DNA from samples believed to have come from Bigfoot evidence gathered at several sites around North America. Rugg explains the difficulties emerging from an ongoing DNA analysis being conducted at a laboratory in Texas and announces a separate effort is about to begin. Rugg’s call for more Bigfoot samples is presented in video format, and the latest report on the progress at the Texas laboratory, headed up by Melba Ketchum, indicates some surprises have surfaced in the analysis her team is performing, as seen in Sasquatch DNA Project Update.

Guy Rundle ’From Cold war to Cyberwar: Power, the State and the Wikileaks Effect’.
This is the first lecture in a series of five, as part of The Wednesday Lectures – Hosted by Raimond Gaita.
WACA will be posting videos of each of the Wikileaks lectures and would like to thank the Melbourne Law School for granting us permission to film the entire series.
Details of the Wikileaks Series of The Wednesday Lectures :
8 June – Guy Rundle ‘From Cold war to Cyberwar: Power, the State and the Wikileaks Effect’
Two decades after the Berlin Wall came down, and a decade after 9/11 became the pretext for a relentless attack on citizenship and civil liberties, a series of releases by the Wikileaks website threw the operation of secrecy and state control of information into chaos. From the Icelandic rebellion against financial crisis, to the Arab Spring, both the quantity and quality of information released has changed the relationship between state, citizen and information.
These momentous events allow us to rethink the inherited privileges and assumptions of state and corporate power, and to ask if a new relationship can be created between global citizens, states and international organisations – indeed, it causes us to ask how it could not be.
Guy Rundle is currently the UK correspondent for Crikey and a regular contributor to The Age, Sydney Morning Herald and many other publications. A former editor of Arena Magazine, and a writer of several stage shows for Max Gillies, his most recent book is The SHellackling, on the rise of the US ‘Tea Party’.
15 June – Raimond Gaita ‘ Power and Consent’
This is the second lecture in a series of five, as part of The Wednesday Lectures – Hosted by Raimond Gaita. At the heart of democratic ideals is the contrast between legitimate and illegitimate persuasion. To a large extent, the difference is marked by the ways that forms of persuasion respect – or fail to respect – what Simone Weil called our “faculty of free consent.” The lecture will explore what we should make of the distinction and what its implications are for political action when democratic governments become more secretive, more authoritarian and more reliant on spin.
Raimond Gaita is Professorial Fellow in the Melbourne Law School and The Faculty of Arts at University of Melbourne and Emeritus Professor of Moral Philosophy at King’s College London. He is a Fellow of the Australian Academy of the Humanities. His books include: Good and Evil: An Absolute Conception, Romulus, My Father, A Common Humanity: Thinking About Love & Truth & Justice, Breach of Trust: Truth, Morality and Politics and, as editor and contributor, Gaza: Morality Law and Politics and Muslims and Multiculturalism.

6 July – Helen Pringle ‘Gimme Shelter: The Power of Secrecy and Silence in Democracy’
This is the fifth lecture in a series of five, as part of The Wednesday Lectures – Hosted by Raimond Gaita.
This talk offers an appreciation and defence of the power of secrecy and silence in a democracy. It is often assumed that secrecy shelters domination and that silence provides a license for coarse exercises of power by government or business.
Breaking the silence and the triumph of a principle of general transparency are not only the apparent aims of the Wikileaks project, but form a broader injunction to publicise the smallest details of every aspect of our lives. Pringle argues that this is not an emancipatory project: a general breaking of silence shatters the shelter within which our intimate lives are conducted, and in turn guts public life of its standing and dignity.
Helen Pringle is in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at the University of New South Wales. Her research has been widely recognised by awards from Princeton University, the Fulbright Foundation, the Australian Federation of University Women, and the Universities of Adelaide, Wollongong and NSW. Her main fields of expertise are human rights, ethics in public life, and political theory. Dr Pringle is currently working on a project concerning the place of pornography within considerations of free speech, entitled Practising Pornography. She is also involved in an international research project on ethnography and sexual slavery in early colonial Queensland.

TSA AIRPORT SCANNERS RADIATION CANCER X-RAY SKIN CHERTOFF.
The new airport scanners being used by the TSA are machines that use a type of X-Ray usually filtered out in medical machines because they are so readily absorbed by the body. The new machines have been rushed into use thru a recommendation of the former Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff. His company subsequently got a big contract with the largest manufacturer, Rapiscan. The machines are not as good as a metal detector when it comes to seeing a hidden gun but they were bought to see underwear bombs. one of the problems is that they may not do their job well and will irradiate an entire population certainly causing some cancers. Further the machines are extremely mechanically complex and any error or failure could lead to an unintended very high does of radiation. Since the machines apparently do not check each dose nobody would know that the machines were giving each victim a carcinogenic dose. If you burn easily in the sun or are prone to cancer or have skin cancer in your family you might be well advised to not only get a pat down instead, but avoid the area within 2 yards of the machine. That’s because radiation is being scattered out of the machine and may be leaking from behind it, unknown to the TSA agent. The TSA agent is also in danger of overexposure and the effect of X-Ray exposure is cumulative, so each dose gets a person closer to cancer and other illnesses which may not show up for many years. Almost no research or testing has been done, contrary to the statements of Janet Napolitano. The few scientific peer review research papers that have been written make a case for the exposure being higher than stated. They also predict that the X-raying of an entire population will eventually precipitate some fatalities. At our site AfterthePress.com we are uploading, and will have links to more information about the machines and real research papers from qualified scientists.
