Video: Shellac - Why Melted Bugs On Candy And Lemons Fuel A $167 Million Industry


Shellac is a natural resin that comes from tiny insects harvested off tree branches in India. Indians have valued the bug for 3,000 years for its versatility. Once processed and melted, shellac can be used as a powerful red dye, a glossy wood finisher, and a shiny coating to citrus fruit and candies such as jelly beans, Whoppers, and Junior Mints. But the farmers who have depended on these miniature bugs for generations say their crops are at risk.

Video: Optical Illusion: Is the Horse Walking Toward or Away?


This is an example of how fickle perception can be.  You can literally see two different realities occurring at the same time with a little shift in the way you view some things.

Video: I Build Tiny Cars Out of Old Fridges


CLASSIC cars have been reenvisioned as miniature versions and collected in a ‘dwarf car’ museum. Ernie Adams, of Maricopa, Arizona, has been creating his incredible scaled-down replicas of full-size cars since 1965, starting with his version of a 1928 Chevy two-door sedan. The original car, known as ‘Grandpa Dwarf’, was made out of nine old refrigerators and is still running today. Since then, Ernie, now in his late-70s, has made hundreds of 11/16th scale dwarf cars, from racers to cruisers – all fully drivable and road-legal. One of the gems of his collection is his take on the 1949 Mercury two-door coupe, which he built entirely from scratch using flat sheet metal.

  • The Mysterious Human Heart
    New evidence suggests the heart is not a pump.
  • The Miraculous Nature of Water
    The stated mission of modern science is to dominate and control nature. It was born of the philosophies of Francis Bacon who suggested we could learn “to command nature in action”, and of René Descartes who wrote that mankind could become “the masters and possessors of nature.” This was science flipped on its head because the previous scientific philosophy saw nature as a perfect creation of god to be observed and understood. Take for instance, water. Without water, we would not exist. And so the true value is in understanding the nature of water so that we can flow with it, not control it.

  • The Cubli: A Cube That Can Jump Up, Balance, and Walk
    The Cubli is a 15 × 15 × 15 cm cube that can jump up and balance on its corner. Reaction wheels mounted on three faces of the cube rotate at high angular velocities and then brake suddenly, causing the Cubli to jump up. Once the Cubli has almost reached the corner stand up position, controlled motor torques are applied to make it balance on its corner. In addition to balancing, the motor torques can also be used to achieve a controlled fall such that the Cubli can be commanded to fall in any arbitrary direction. Combining these three abilities -- jumping up, balancing, and controlled falling -- the Cubli is able to 'walk'.

  • What is the Betz Mystery Sphere?
    Alien Probe, Sentient Machine, Nuclear Weapon, or Junk? What is the Betz Mystery Sphere? In the Spring of 1974, a large brush fire swept across the property owned by Antoine and Gerri Betz. While assessing the damage, they noticed something very out of place. Lying in the smoldering grass, was a highly polished, metal sphere. This became known as the Betz sphere or the Betz orb. Terry Betz, Antoine and Jerri's 21-year-old son, went to pick up the sphere. Although it was only 8-inches in diameter, it was extremely heavy. Then the Betz family did something with the sphere that would change their lives forever. Something that the family would come to regret. They brought it home.

Don't Think Mind Control Is Real? Watch This!


These amazing videos reveal just how much is known about how to manipulate our behavior without our even knowing it. The topic of mind control is usually reserved for the category of "conspiracy nuts" but these videos show you just how real it is. After watching these I'll be amazed if you still feel it's just wild theory.  And I'll be amazed if you still feel that corporations, the media and yes, even our government are not using these techniques on us daily to condition us into going along with just about anything they want.
