			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">I just came across this totally insane post on a forum:</p>
<blockquote style="text-align: justify;"><p>Have you been abducted by an alien? If so, have you ever invoked the name &#8220;Jesus&#8221; in an attempt to frighten off the alien? What were the results?</p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align: justify;">What&#8217;s really interesting here is these juicy answers:</p>
<blockquote style="text-align: justify;">
<h4><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Answer 1</span></h4>
<p>Yes, but I do not remember.  Missing time/waking up in strange places in my house/clothes on backwards&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>&#8211;And someone actually answering to this comment a little further in the post:</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">That&#8217;s a symptom of <strong>multiple personality disorder</strong>. No kidding. Most people with MPD have no idea about their condition or their other personalities. Usually as a result of ritual abuse as a child but something not consciously remembered. If you recall having an abusive childhood it may be a clue. Grow up in the military? Grow up in a religious home? Headaches? Migraines?</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<h4><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Answer 2</span></h4>
<p>Not abducted but visited, they werent physically but if i closed my eyes i could see energy in a shape of an alien.</p>
<p>What they did to me was: i felt a spot on top of my head that went down to my brains and then the bottom part of my brain began shaking a bit like it was being cleaned or something (i was in bed and awake), <strong>i gues they made some kind of hole to get to my brains.<br />
</strong><br />
After that they did the same on a different spot (between my eyes) and that went with a horizontal line towards my brain again, i get the feeling they placed something there, it felt like a square plate.</p>
<p>And after that they send me a message through feeling not words that it was done <strong>and they waved with theire hands and then they left.</strong></p></blockquote>
<blockquote style="text-align: justify;">
<h4><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Answer 3</span></h4>
<p>Over a period of years I have &#8220;worked&#8221; with them, involving much prayer and meditation. I went through a long period where I was able to show them visually, through mental pictures, how terrifying it is to be treated that way. I also invoked the name of Jesus, saying &#8220;If you do not come in the name of Jesus, I demand that you leave&#8221; or &#8220;if you come in the Christ consciousness, I welcome you.&#8221; <strong>There were 2 or 3 instances where they literally dissolved into thin air when I invoked the name of Jesus</strong>. I took to sleeping with a Bible under my pillow and wearing a cross, and setting the intention before sleep, that any entities who were not of the Christ consciousness were not welcome. It has evolved to the point where I &#8220;hear&#8221; my name being called as though from a distance a couple of hours before sleep that night, if they are planning to arrive that night so it takes the edge off of having them just show up anytime.</p>
<h4><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Answer 4</span></h4>
<p>I had two major experiences. One it was in Florida. I was comming out of Blockbuster from renting a movie, when in the parking lot i looked up and saw a huge circular orange light, it seemed that time stood still. I actually do not remember anything else after that, only that I had a dream in which i was told that they which there were more people like me on Earth, it would be a better place.<br />
The second one was a dream, I remember I was being held against my will on a metal table. I remember all being dark and I heard a voice asked me? Are you not afraid we might hurt you?. I answered them, no because I believe in GOD and as I finish saying that the dream stopped.</p>
<h4><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Answer 5</span></h4>
<p><strong>I have been abducted and I am in contact with a group of beings not from this planet atm. </strong></p>
<p><strong>I was picked because of my family line has been watched for a very long time</strong>. Everyone in my family on my mothers side has had interactions with ET&#8217;s.</p>
<p>I mean in the same room looking at each other face to face.</p>
<p>Yes there is such a thing as sleep paralysis(not caused by ET)&#8230;however aliens can paralyze you while you are standing and it is a totally different experience than that of sleep paralysis.</p>
<p>The only time they paralyze you is to make sure you do not harm them or yourself. Being paralyzed is never fun but it&#8217;s not painful.</p></blockquote>
<p>There are just a couple of answers I hand picked to be honest. I say it&#8217;s completely crazy, what do you think? Share your thoughts&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Wow, this really is incredible and I&#8217;m proud to announce that Daily Common Sense is already reaching 200,000 visits for this year. I launched the blog in January this year and didn&#8217;t expect to have so many visitors at the end of my first year.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I would like to thank every single one of you for taking part in discussions and making DCS a success. Now I know the blog isn&#8217;t updated regularly, but trust me guys I&#8217;m on it. It&#8217;s not that I&#8217;m not working on the website, it&#8217;s more that I&#8217;m working on things we don&#8217;t see. I see great potential for DCS and I am currently figuring out what would help it grow bigger and also how I could interact with you guys more easily.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you have any suggestions or anything that could improve the future of this blog, please let me know! The blog is only sleeping a little bit&#8230;</p>

<p>The project is a &#8220;space elevator,&#8221; and some experts now believe that the concept is well within the bounds of possibility &#8212; maybe even within our lifetimes.</p>
<p>A cable anchored to the Earth&#8217;s surface, reaching tens of thousands of kilometers into space, balanced with a counterweight attached at the other end is the basic design for the elevator.</p>
<p>It is thought that inertia &#8212; the physics theory stating that matter retains its velocity along a straight line so long as it is not acted upon by an external force &#8212; will cause the cable to stay stretched taut, allowing the elevator to sit in geostationary orbit.</p>
<p>The cable would extend into the sky, eventually reaching a satellite docking station orbiting in space.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s been quiet lately&#8230;Well it&#8217;s because I want to go in a different direction. Daily Common Sense has been associated with the 2012 scam/hoax or whatever you want to call it and I want to change that a little bit. You know, I think it&#8217;s great that people like my articles about 2012, pole shift and all that stuff, but I feel like I&#8217;ve covered it all and want to move on. I receive a lot of emails and comments about &#8220;What do you think about that 2012 site?&#8221;, &#8220;What do you think about that pole shift site?&#8221;, &#8220;What do you think about that 2012 theory?&#8221;, &#8220;What do you think about that video?&#8221;, etc. I feel very good about that fact that people turn to me to get some advices and I&#8217;m very flattered, but I as I said, I want to move on.</p>
<p>I opened the Daily Common Sense forum recently and people are starting to use it a little bit. That was part of my strategy to bring DCS to another level.  You guys can really discuss on that forum and you&#8217;ll probably get an answer from the community faster than an answer by email from me! <img src='http://www.dailycommonsense.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I&#8217;m still figuring out the direction this will all take, but I will definitely try to write about other subjects!</p>

</a></p>
<blockquote><p>John McCain doesn&#8217;t use e-mail. So it was downright odd to see one of his aides hold up a BlackBerry on Tuesday and claim that the Arizona senator somehow deserves credit for its existence.</p>
<p>&#8220;He did this,&#8221; economic policy adviser Douglas Holtz-Eakin told reporters, referring to a BlackBerry, according to a report on Politico.com. &#8220;Telecommunications of the United States is a premier innovation in the past 15 years, comes right through the Commerce Committee. So you&#8217;re looking at the miracle John McCain helped create and that&#8217;s what he did.&#8221;</p>
<p>This may join the ranks of the-Internet-is-too-hard-to-use statements personally made by the Republican candidate, including this remarkable admission from July: &#8220;I am learning to get online myself, and I will have that down fairly soon, getting on myself. I don&#8217;t expect to be a great communicator, I don&#8217;t expect to set up my own blog, but I am becoming computer literate to the point where I can get the information that I need&#8211;including going to my daughter&#8217;s blog first, before anything else.&#8221;</p>
<p>And then there was the rather sad claim, captured on video, from a campaign representative that &#8220;John McCain is aware of the Internet.&#8221; Plus McCain&#8217;s statement early this year that: &#8220;I am an illiterate that has to rely on my wife&#8221; for the Internet, presumably meaning such taxing matters as visiting a Web site.</p>
<p>Holtz-Eakin&#8217;s unfortunate improvisation is likely to add to the narrative of a presidential candidate out of touch with technology, just as Al Gore&#8217;s improvident boast about &#8220;creating&#8221; the Internet reinforced suspicions that the vice president liked to exaggerate his accomplishments.</p>
<p>[&#8230;]</p>
<p>The McCain campaign fell into that trap this week. If Gore could take credit for &#8220;creating&#8221; the Internet, then why can&#8217;t ex-Senate Commerce Committee Chairman McCain claim credit for &#8220;creating&#8221; the BlackBerry, never mind that it was developed by a Canadian company? Or Wi-Fi, which the McCain campaign also seemed to do this week? Or, for that matter, every computer and technological gadget used today? McCain, the father of the iPhone, anyone?</p></blockquote>
<p>Of course the adviser wasn&#8217;t referring to the BlackBerry itself, but it doesn&#8217;t change the fact that John McCain isn&#8217;t aware of what&#8217;s happening in the technology world today and I guess it wasn&#8217;t that different 15 years ago&#8230;</p>
<p>Oh and there&#8217;s also the fact that Research In Motion is a Canadian company.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>First, I want to appologize for not posting as often as I used to be, I&#8217;m really busy at the moment and don&#8217;t have much time to investigate new scams! That being said, if you don&#8217;t already know, the first attempt to circulate a beam in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will be made tomorrow, September 10.</p>
<p>There are a lot of fears surrounding the LHC and it&#8217;s for a good reason: it&#8217;s one of the most complex machine ever built and could be able to spawn mini black holes. It looks a little scary I know, but I wrote a post a couple of months ago about the <a href="http://www.dailycommonsense.com/hadron-collider-and-black-holes-why-it-isnt-a-treat/">LHC and why it shouldn&#8217;t be a threat</a> and it explains a lot of important things. (See that I use &#8220;should&#8221; here because it&#8217;s so complex, even Stephen Hawkins could be wrong! ). If you haven&#8217;t read the article I suggest you do and if you&#8217;re too lazy, here&#8217;s a straight to the point explanation of why you shouldn&#8217;t fear:</p>
<blockquote><p>While it is totally possible for the collider to generate a black hole, it wouldn’t result in a doomsday scenario simply because we have to put everything in perspective. A black hole generated in the collider would be too small to have any sort of influence. Mangano, a member of the CERN group studying the safety of the collider doesn’t deny the possibility that the collider could spawn a black hole, but he says the energy would be concentrated in a space thinner than a human hair. That’s simply too small to even have a slight influence on us. That would be a spectacular thing though, because black holes are still a mystery to scientists.</p>
<p>There’s also the other fact that the energy created by smashing protons and lead ions together might not produce enough energy to create a black hole. Energy created by the collider can reach 14 trillion electron volts, but it is not widely accepted as being enough to spawn a black hole.</p></blockquote>
<p>There you go, we&#8217;ll see tomorrow if everything went right!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some weeks ago I received a comment from a man asking for proofs and evidences that the Purple Tesla Shield is a scam (<a title="Tesla Shield" href="http://www.dailycommonsense.com/tesla-purple-energy-shield-scam/" target="_self">Read my original article about the Tesla shield for more infos</a>). I must admit the man asked the proofs in a rather rude way, so let&#8217;s hear his rational thoughts:</p>
<blockquote><p>why are all you negative &#8220;bashers&#8221; wasting your time reading this stuff &#8212; spending large amounts of time &#8220;blogging&#8221; about it - YET not one of you has any legitimate defense, nor have you proved ONE single FACT as to why this technology is FALSE &#8212; So what&#8217;s your argument?  I&#8217;d like to hear some FACTS not just hot air and negative OPINE &#8212; IDIOTS.  And NO I&#8217;m not from Life Technology &#8212; I&#8217;m a person with common sense that YOU all NAY SAYERS have not appealed to in the least intelelectuallyl &#8212; PRESENT YOUR ARGUMENT AND FACTS or SHUT YOUR PIE HOLES.</p>
<p>Oh, and who&#8217;s the jackass who posted this as a &#8220;scam&#8221;???  What&#8217;s your argument buddy? where are your FACTS &#8212; PROVE IT or SHUT UP.  There IS real technology like this, and minerals, metals etc. are NATURAL SUBSTANCES just like food, water and other elements the body needs to defend itself so WHY is it so hard to believe that there is &#8220;technology&#8221; (READ:  applications of science and nature) that can perform what some find incredible?) &#8212; Let&#8217;s move out of the dark folks into the light.</p></blockquote>
<p>All right, here&#8217;s your shining moment buddy. You know how I love to post hate comments I receive and you also know how it makes me laugh. First of all, I just want to answer the easiest question that man asked:</p>
<blockquote><p>Oh, and who&#8217;s the jackass who posted this as a &#8220;scam&#8221;???</p></blockquote>
<p>That jackass, is me. You know, nothing very surprising here, it&#8217;s my blog.</p>
<h3>The first obvious scam about the Purple Tesla Shield</h3>
<p>This for me, is the absolute proof that this little thing is a complete scam. There are no way anybody can say this thing works after reading what&#8217;s coming. Here&#8217;s the lie from Life Technology that tells it all:</p>
<blockquote><p>The specialist bioactive outer shell of The Tesla Shield™ was developed by Nikola Tesla and Ralph Bergstresser. The bioactive outer shell of The Tesla Shield™ is created by the Tesla/Bergstresser process and allows the device to resonate with the cosmic energy particles known as tachyons. The Tesla Shield™ emits a positive tachyon field with a radius of approximately 10 meters which is capable of penetrating any material substance or living organism.</p>
<p>The bioactive outer shell of The Tesla Shield™ has a unique crystal lattice structure which is identical to that of rubies and sapphires which share the same chemical composition. Coincidentally, rubies are highly prized in many parts of the world for their healing properties, particularly in India where they are known as Power Stones and are commonly worn by men to enhance their health, vitality and strength.</p></blockquote>
<p>So you say the outer shell is a bioactive shell developped by Nikola Tesla and Ralph Bergstresser and that it has a unique crystal lattice structure? Man, please&#8230;The outer shell is in fact an Aluminium anodized dog ID holder that can be bought at a price of 8.99$ for a pack of 6 on amazon.com! That for me, is a scam my friends. Here&#8217;s the link if you want to build your own Tesla Shield: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Aluminum-Anodized-CONTAINER-HOLDER-GEOCACHING/dp/B000P91E4C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=sporting-goods&amp;qid=1219592260&amp;sr=8-1" target="_blank">Dog ID Holder (Tesla Shield outer shell).</a></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-226" title="dog_id" src="http://www.dailycommonsense.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/dog_id.png" alt="Amazon anodized dog id holder" width="500" height="139" /></p>
<p>It has no such thing as a unique crystal lattice structure, it&#8217;s an aluminium container! That&#8217;s enough to convince me this thing is a scam, but let&#8217;s dig a little more.</p>
<h3>Zeuzite</h3>
<p>We&#8217;ve talked the outer shell, so let&#8217;s see what inside the Tesla Shield</p>
<blockquote><p>The internal module consists of a pair of harmonically coupled Zeusite™ microsphere resonators and an Ethero-Magnetic™ caduceus coil. Before final assembly at our laboratory, The Zeusite™ microsphere resonators are psychotronically programmed with specific frequencies which promote the health and wellbeing of the mind body and soul.</p>
<p><strong>Zeusite™.</strong></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>Zeusite™ is a unique proprietary material developed by Life Technology™ as a result of our research into novel materials which have the inherent capability to mitigate the effects of electromagnetic radiation EMR.</p></blockquote>
<p>You know why Zeuzite is a unique proprietary material developped by Life Technology? So they don&#8217;t have to tell you what this is!! I mean common: &#8220;a pair of harmonically coupled Zeusite™ microsphere resonators and an Ethero-Magnetic™ caduceus coil&#8221;. What? I&#8217;m sorry but it doesn&#8217;t mean anything. It&#8217;s just a bunch of pseudo scientific words put all together.</p>
<h3>The Lost Cubit</h3>
<p>I love that part because it&#8217;s filled with probably one stupidity every two words. I don&#8217;t even know where to start. Let&#8217;s start with that:</p>
<blockquote><p>Aside from the Zeusite™ microsphere resonators, The Tesla Shield™ internal module also incorporates a Quantum Microvortex™ orgone generating caduceus coil. This specially designed Quantum Microvortex™ orgone generating caduceus coil utilises the sacred Lost Cubit measurement.</p></blockquote>
<p>Ok, so from Wikipedia, we learn about Orgone that:</p>
<blockquote><p>Orgone energy in its full sense was seen as a universal life force flowing through all things, and responsible for almost all observable phenomena; an omnipresent force in nature that could account for a wide variety of phenomena including, according to sceptical critics, &#8220;the color of the sky, gravity, galaxies, the failure of most political revolutions, and a good orgasm.</p></blockquote>
<p>Riiiight. So, I guess we have to assume this is all true, especially when many modern day psychiatrists and psychoanalysts consider orgone to have no basis in science or medicine.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s assume this Microvortex orgone generating caduceus coil is something we can believe in, it uses the sacred Lost Cubit measurement. That&#8217;s where the fun begin. Here&#8217;s how the cubit lost is calculated:</p>
<blockquote><p>The Lost Cubit is derived from the sum of the polar and equatorial circumferences of the Earth divided by the speed of light. The Lost Cubit therefore relates to cosmic harmonics in a special way. Due to its dual ability to resonate with cosmic energy frequencies and earth energy frequencies, The Lost Cubit is the secret key to extraordinary health and extreme longevity.</p></blockquote>
<p>Do you know what distance divided by speed gives? time. If you drive 2 miles at 1 mile per hour, it will take you 2 hours. So we get a time and now you want us to relate that time measurement to an harmonic? When speaking of harmonics we have to either talk about frequencies or wave lengths. Time is surely related to a frequency, but we have to go a little further than just saying because we divide the equatorial circumferences of the Earth by the speed of light, it relates to cosmic harmonics. Put a little more meat in there because it&#8217;s a relation you have to prove me for me to believe you.</p>
<p>I also have a lot of problems with such a conclusion: &#8220;Due to its dual ability to resonate with cosmic energy frequencies and earth energy frequencies, The Lost Cubit is the secret to extraordinary health and extreme longevity&#8221;. Ok&#8230;Why? Why is it such an easy conclusion? I mean, I could easily say: &#8220;Due to it&#8217;s dual ability to resonate with cosmic energy and earth energy frequencies, The Lost Cubit will make you an evil being and destroy everything around you&#8221;. Why? Because it resonate with cosmic energy frequencies. I know, but why? Don&#8217;t you listen to me? It resonate with cosmic energy frequencies. I&#8217;m sure you get it, right?</p>
<h3>The frequency of DNA</h3>
<p>From the Life Technology website, we can read:</p>
<blockquote><p>The Lost Cubit has a natural resonant frequency of 177 megahertz which corresponds to the frequency of DNA, thereby facilitating DNA repair and the capability of consciously controlled DNA activation and ascension. It is becoming more widely accepted by scientists that DNA acts as an antenna for light energy, and therefore the harmonic frequencies of light and The Lost Cubit in particular are vitally important aspects of the equation.</p></blockquote>
<p>What&#8217;s the frequency of DNA? I didn&#8217;t know DNA was oscillating. I didn&#8217;t know my DNA was going through time cycles, repeating a specific pattern every 1/(177*10e8) seconds. I&#8217;m sorry but even by Googling DNA and 177 Mhz I didn&#8217;t find anything.</p>
<h3>Have you tried it?</h3>
<p>No, I haven&#8217;t tried it. <a href="http://www.dailycommonsense.com/life-technologys-answer-to-my-tesla-shield-review-proposal/">Life technology turned down my review proposal</a> and I&#8217;m not going to pay 200$ for this thing!</p>
<h3>That&#8217;s enough</h3>
<p>Ok, that&#8217;s enough, I hope you all get the big picture. I tried to provide to facts and scientific arguments, but it&#8217;s hard when a device such as the Tesla Shield has nothing scientific.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m proud to announce that Daily Common Sense now has its own forum! I added a link in the navigation bar for the forum section, but you can reach it at the following address: <a href="http://www.dailycommonsense.com/forum/" target="_self">Daily Common Sense Forum</a>.</p>
<p>I must admit I mainly created the forum because of 2<a href="http://www.dailycommonsense.com/2012-explained-why-it-shouldnt-be-feared/">012 Explained</a>, which at the time of writing has 735 comments! It really is a pain to load the article now because of all the comments in there and I&#8217;m slowly moving things to a forum instead. I&#8217;m not closing the comments yet but there will surely be a time where it won&#8217;t be possible to post a comment in that specific article. I receive thousands of first time visitors to that single article every week and I think it&#8217;s a pain for a first time visitor to load that page. A total turn off.</p>
<p>So there you go, continue to comment in here I really appreciate it, but the forum is a good way to exchange with others and also to reach me! <img src='http://www.dailycommonsense.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Enjoy!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Feeling a little lost? Where&#8217;s your old daily common sense? It&#8217;s gone! I felt like it was time for a change and I was really sick of the old theme, so I changed it. I don&#8217;t know if you guys like it better, but I certainly do. It&#8217;s much more lightweight and clean and I&#8217;m giving more space to what&#8217;s really important: the content.</p>
<p>I also changed the logo a little bit as you can see, so it can fit with the new look. It&#8217;s much more sober and elegant and it&#8217;s a little something I could easily put on a t-shirt&#8230;hint, hint.</p>
<p>One new feature I really like is that this new theme now supports &#8220;Gravatar&#8221;. What the hell is Gravatar? You will notice in the comment section that next to your name a picture will appear. If you don&#8217;t have a gravatar account, the default gray picture will appear. If you want a custom picture to show on the page, simply head to <a title="Gravatar" href="http://www.gravatar.com" target="_blank">Gravatar </a>and upload your own! This little image will not only be valid for my blog, but also for every other blog you comment on that has this feature enabled! Isn&#8217;t great? Yep, I know.</p>
<p>OK, I won&#8217;t write a 3 pages post about the new look of the website, you&#8217;ll discover it on your own. There might be some issues with it so feel free to comment if you are having some difficulties! Time to go to bed now, I&#8217;ve worked on this little thing all night&#8230;</p>
