![]() ![]() "If everyone could see the sensor and video data I witnessed, our national conversation would change," Graves added. “My testimony is based on information I’ve been given by individuals with a long standing track record of legitimacy and service to this country, many of whom also have shared compelling evidence in the form of photography, official documentation, and classified oral testimony to myself and many of my various colleagues,” said Grusch, who said he has “taken every step I can to corroborate this evidence over a period of four years while I was with the UAP task force and do my due diligence on the individual sharing it.” Throughout the hearing, he also acknowledged he had never seen the phenomena personally. In his testimony Wednesday, Grusch underscored what has been for some a red flag in the reporting process of the Debrief story: that neither he nor Kean personally saw documents or photographs of the alleged craft. As I reported back in June, the Times passed on it, while both Washington Post and Politico weren’t able to turn the story around at the speed that the reporters wanted. Kean and Blumenthal’s latest UFO dispatch, however, appeared to run up against different editorial challenges. “What concerns me is there is no oversight from our elected officials on anything associated with our government processing or working on craft believed not from this world.” That 2017 report, Fravor said, “opened the door for the government and public that cannot be closed,” leading to the Whistleblower Protection Act under the NDAA. ![]() ![]() The report alleged that the US government was concealing information related to its possession of “intact and partially intact craft of non-human origin”-information about which “has been illegally withheld from Congress.” Grusch went on to claim that the government had even retrieved “dead pilots” from “nonhuman exotic-origin vehicles that have either landed or crashed.” The story published in the Debrief was written by journalists Leslie Kean and Ralph Blumenthal, both of whom helped break the eye-popping 2017 UFO New York Times report about a defunct secret Pentagon program founded to investigate “unidentified flying objects.” Grusch made headlines last month as the source of a seemingly bombshell report in The Debrief, a little-known science and defense website. ![]()

![]() ![]() The German emigrant comes into a country free from the despotism, privileged orders and monopolies, intolerable taxes, and constraints in matters of belief and conscience. Many well-educated Germans who fled the failed 1848 revolution found the United States more politically free than their homeland, which they believed to be a hierarchical and aristocratic society that determined the ceiling for their aspirations. He added that, "if they attained Paradise, they would move on if they heard of a better place farther west". As John Murray, 4th Earl of Dunmore, the colonial Governor of Virginia, noted in 1774, the Americans "for ever imagine the Lands further off are still better than those upon which they are already settled". Historically, the Dream originated in colonial mystique regarding frontier life. The meaning of the American Dream has changed over the course of history, and includes both personal components such as home ownership and upward mobility as well as a global vision for cultural hegemony and diplomacy. Younger generations were also less likely to believe in the American Dream than their older counterparts. In 2020, a poll found only 54 percent of US adults thought the American Dream was attainable for them, 28 percent believed it was unattainable for them personally, while 9 percent rejected the idea of the American Dream entirely. Evidence indicates that upward economic mobility has declined and income inequality has risen in the United States in recent decades. ![]() īelief in the American Dream is often inversely associated with rates of national disillusionment. The American Dream has also been criticized as a product of American exceptionalism, as it does not acknowledge the hardships many Americans face, namely in regards to the legacies of American slavery and Native American genocide, as well as other examples of discriminatory violence. In 2015, only 10.5 percent of American workers were members of a labor union. Some critics point out that American focus on individualism and capital results in materialism, consumerism and a lack of worker solidarity. Throughout American history, there have been critics of its national ethos. ![]() It states that the Constitution's purpose is to, in part, "secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity". Proponents of the American Dream often claim that its tenets originate from the United States Declaration of Independence, which states that " all men are created equal" with the right to " life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness". ![]() The term "American Dream" was coined by James Truslow Adams in 1931, saying that "life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement" regardless of social class or circumstances of birth. The American Dream is the national ethos of the United States, a set of ideals including representative democracy, rights, liberty, and equality, in which freedom is interpreted as the opportunity for individual prosperity and success, as well as upward social mobility for oneself and their children, achieved through hard work in a capitalist society with few barriers. In this role, it signified new opportunities for Americans and evolved into a symbol of the American Dream. For other uses, see American Dream (disambiguation).ĭuring the mid-19th to the early 20th-century of the United States, for many immigrants, the Statue of Liberty ( Liberty Enlightening the World) in New York Harbor was their first view of the country. ![]() ![]() ![]() However there is a fly in the ointment in that there are - in this case - two good guys loose in the building trying to spoke their plans. The bad guys claim to be a international terrorist group in order to avoid detection of their real motive. The plot is: Tall high rise is taken over by terrorists, this building have a brand new state of the art electronic security system, that allows you to monitor and control the building from 1 central location. You might want to watch the film if you are masochistic or have nothing better to do (like watching paint dry?). If you are a man, the only thing that will hold your attention are the scenes where Anna Nicole Smith shows off her transplants. Imagine that you put Barb Wire in a skyscraper, after the Die Hard model, add incredibly stupid dialog, and some free swinging 48" (or however big Anna Nicole Smith's mammaries are) appendages. Lots of stuff gets blowed up real good! Get the pony keg and the nachos, dude! ![]() Now that's some red-blooded American entertainment. I would suggest a double feature for a night of viewing, this film and David Heavener's KILL CRAZY(see my review of that film as well). I feel that this movie is best enjoyed under the influence of several adult beverages. Anyone familiar with the work of Andy Sidaris will be in familiar territory here. Everything about this film screams: "Don't take me seriously!" On that level, the discriminating fan of bad action films will enjoy this heartily. There are a ton of explosions on offer, which are nicely photographed, but are so (I'll risk using the word again) gratuitous that the plot (most obvious Die Hard rip-off ever) can't be taken seriously for more than a nanosecond. From Anna's non-existent acting, to the bad scenery-chewing performance of the actor playing the lead terrorist (just what country is he supposed to be from, Badaccentia?), this is prime Badfilm. You'll laugh until tears flow from your eyes, not believing the sights and sounds assaulting your being from the screen. ![]() Check the gratuitous shower scene about 10 minutes into the movie if you don't get me. If you turn the number sideways, you'll see why I gave this movie an 8. ![]() ![]() We launched Ameva to demonstrate that brands can leverage synthetic biology to turn carbon-negative ingredients into high-performing products.” But we’re also producing molecules for skin that are better for you, so you can put something much more sustainable and healthier on your body instead of petrochemicals. “It made sense to clean up the isoprene part of the rubber supply chain rather than the entire supply chain. “We are working throughout the supply chain,” Dugar says. The company offers refillable bottles and even offsets emissions from the shipping of its products. Today, in addition to isoprene, Visolis is selling skin care products through the brand Ameva Bio, which produces mevalonic acid-based creams by recycling plant byproducts created in other processes. ![]() ![]() Visolis has since patented other chemical conversion processes that turn mevalonic acid to aviation fuel, polymers, and fabrics.ĭugar left his consulting job in 2014 and was awarded a fellowship to work on Visolis full-time at the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab via Activate, an incubator empowering scientists to reinvent the world. From there, he developed a chemical catalysis process that converted mevalonic acid to isoprene, the main component of natural rubber. After graduation, he took a consulting job at a large company, spending his nights and weekends renting lab space to continue trying to make his sustainable rubber a reality.Īfter 18 months, by applying engineering concepts like design-for-scale to synthetic biology, Dugar was able to develop a microbe that met 80 percent of his criteria for making an intermediate molecule called mevalonic acid. He participated in the MIT Clean Energy Prize and worked with others at MIT to prove out the idea. Everything from the clothes we wear to the furniture we sit on is often made using petroleum.”īy analyzing recent advances in synthetic biology and making some calculations from first principles, Dugar decided that a microbial approach to cleaning up the production of rubber was viable. “It was about replacing petroleum not just as a fuel but as a material as well. “I wanted to work on something that could have the largest climate impact, and that was replacing petroleum,” Dugar says. The experience inspired him to start a company. He also took classes at the MIT Sloan School of Management on sustainability and entrepreneurship, including the particularly influential course 15.366 (Climate and Energy Ventures). That was an insight I had about 10 years ago at MIT.” Finding a pathįor his PhD, Dugar explored the economics of using microbes to make high-octane gas additives. That allows us to not only reduce climate change but start reversing it. That means our production can be carbon-negative depending on the emissions of the production process. ![]() “Generally speaking, most of that material at the end of its life gets recycled, for example to tarmac or road, or, worst-case scenario, it ends up in a landfill, so the CO2 that was captured by the plant matter stays captured in the materials. “Our process is carbon-negative because plants are taking CO2 from the air, and we take that plant matter and process it into something structural, like synthetic rubber, which is used for things like roofing, tires, and other applications,” Dugar explains. Visolis has already partnered with some of the world’s largest consumers of isoprene, a precursor to rubber, and now Dugar wants to prove out the company’s process in other emissions-intensive industries. “Carbon-negative” is a term Dugar uses a lot. So in everything from personal care to apparel to industrial goods, our platform is enabling decarbonization of manufacturing.” Tires can be carbon-negative, personal care can lower its footprint - and we’re already selling into personal care. “We started with isoprene as the main molecule we produce, but we’ve expanded our platform with this unique combination of chemistry and biology that allows us to decarbonize multiple supply chains very rapidly and efficiently,” Dugar explains. The startup Visolis, founded by MIT alumnus Deepak Dugar, is using synthetic biology to decarbonize the production of everything from jet fuel to rubber to skin care. ![]() ![]() ![]() This diversity of experience in software and client needs has resulted in Mark being asked to be a presenter at the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB), SIGGRAPH and also makes him a sought after freelance author for 3D Artists Magazine, 3D World Magazine and Micro Filmmaker Magazine.
