THE DEHUMANIZATION of Planet Earth continues as we make way for Humanity 2.0. In the news this week: Treating depression with emojis, biometric tattoos report your condition, robots programmed with free will, and robots for search and rescue (funded by the Defense Department)—or to replace a spouse who might one day get all your stuff in a divorce.

Also: Mass cloning of animals in China for food and pets, social media replacing actual human contact, and multiple murder at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs.

MEET THE new Slenderman—an evil clown named Laughing Jack.

A 12-year old Indiana girl, diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder, is being held at a juvenile detention center after allegedly stabbing her 50-year-old stepmother to death and setting their apartment on fire. Why did she do it? To please Laughing Jack.

Her case is eerily similar to the Slenderman murders in Wisconsin last year. We speculate on the spiritual causes behind this tragedy and discuss the concept of the tulpa, essentially an imaginary friend that comes to life.

Also: What's the deal with the new short film produced by Pepsi, Black Knight Decoded? It uses the myth of the Black Knight satellite to float a message of global unity (and membership in a galactic brotherhood).

WE'RE ALL going to live forever. Transhumanists just want to do it without dying. Today we discuss the drive for immortality through technology, which to us—living forever with unregenerate hearts—sounds like a recipe for Hell on Earth.

We also discuss several stories related to Russia: Putin's goals in the Middle East, a possible partnership with Israel to develop the Leviathan natural gas field, the ongoing investigation into the crash of Metrojet flight 9268 in the Sinai, Russian programmers plant viruses on sensitive Pentagon computer networks, and the founder of Russia Today (RT) found dead in Washington, D.C.

Also: SETI searches for radio noise from the "alien megastructure", secret military activity in the ocean near L.A., and all 20 of the "Worst Small Cities in America" are in California.

AN ASTEROID will fly by Earth on Halloween at only 1.3x the distance of the Moon. If that wasn't eerie enough, the asteroid, nicknamed "Spooky", has been identified by astronomers as a dead comet — and it just happens to look like a human skull.

Also: Comet Lovejoy spews alcohol and sugar into space; robots that can read your emotions; IS claims responsibility for tragic Russian airliner crash; insect-sized drones; and Putin positions Russia as the defender of Christendom.

A CREEPY new video featuring a hooded character, dressed like a medieval plague doctor, presents a dark puzzle that apparently threatens U.S. President Barack Obama. As of today, nobody seems to know who created the video and what it really means.

Also: More evidence of intrigue at the Vatican, UN initiative adopted by several US cities targets right-wing extremists, Parliament of World Religions pushes universalism, and Shiite Muslims commemorate 7th century Battle of Karbala with bloody self-flagellation.

RUSSIA AND Iran have sent troops to a battle for Syria’s largest city, Aleppo. (So has Cuba, according to some reports.) There are a couple of implications to this battle, which began yesterday: Since Aleppo borders on the “Islamic State-free zone” proclaimed by Turkey and the U.S. last month, will the NATO allies have a problem when Russian tanks roll in?

More significantly, the IS-free zone (which is definitely not IS-free) includes Dabiq, the village where the Islamic State believes it will fight a climactic battle against the forces of Rome (Christendom) before they go on to establish the global caliphate. How will the IS respond?

Also: Mindfulness makes converts even in Christian churches, a recommendation for Annie Jacobsen’s history of DARPA (The Pentagon’s Brain), and scientists claim they can make Christians disbelieve in God — with magnets.

WE TEND not to be alarmists when it comes to Christian persecution. We’ve had a pretty good run in the United States over the last couple centuries.

But things have shifted in recent years and it’s getting ugly. Think what you will of Kim Davis (the Clerk of Rowan County, Kentucky, who has refused to comply with the Supreme Court’s ruling on same-sex marriage and issue marriage permits to gay couples), some of the criticism she’s received is chilling—for example, equating her actions with sharia law.

Lest we forget, the Islamic State marked the Supreme Court’s ruling by throwing four gay men off a rooftop and tweeted the pictures under the hashtag #lovewins. THAT is what sharia looks like. And frankly, some supporters of same-sex marriage are getting close to advocating sharia-type penalties for people who don’t share their worldview.

Also: Blood Rave in Amsterdam; Cicada 3301; remembering Operation Blackjack; the “gospel” chorus that sang for Hillary; and living forever as a virtual social media profile.

News! Sharon and Derek will be at Chuck Missler’s 10th annual Strategic Perspectives Conference! Featured speakers include Tom Horn, Gary Stearman, Joel Richardson, Bob Cornuke, Joseph Farah, and LTC Bob Maginnis. Details and registration at Koinonia Institute.

IT’S SURPRISING how often otherwise respectable news outlets publish stories with little verification. Some are difficult to take seriously, such as the alleged werewolf prowling the streets of Ceilândia, Brazil, and some are intended mainly to raise questions (especially about human origins), such as the “Stonehenge in space” report about Comet 67-P.

We also discuss Buzz Aldrin’s interesting expense report for Apollo 11, advances in genetics that could lead to really creepy mind control, the Blue Moon Murders in Escambia County, Florida, and how Black Hat hackers have figured out how to get your washing machine to spy on you.

By the way: Derek was almost right about the Philae lander on Comet 67-P. The probe is looking for organic molecules (which means anything with carbon atoms), but the request of Professor Chandra Wickramasinghe to include a test for microbial life was denied during the planning stage of the mission 15 years ago.

TRANSHUMANISTS AIM, generally speaking, to fulfill the promise made in the Garden: You shall be as gods. Today we discuss a variety of memes and news items related to the topic: A new theory of memory storage in the brain, research on connecting our brains to the cloud (and to a hive mind), and occult themes in the Johnny Depp film Transcendence.

AS THE classic rock song goes, “Time keeps on slipping, slipping, slipping…into the future…” Thanks to quantum physics. it seems those lyrics might not be technically correct.

A recent experiment with helium atoms demonstrated that, at the quantum level, time may run backwards, and reality does not even exist until it is observed. Some New Age teachers take this as confirmation of the Law of Attraction, or mind over matter — much to the annoyance of quantum physicists.

Also: MERS and Avian flu continue to spread (and Ebola in West Africa is not quite dead); the Bilderberg Group meets this weekend; “Contact in the Desert” spreads the ancient alien gospel; California moves to eliminate personal belief exemptions for unvaccinated children;  and a child dies in Mexico, apparently sacrificed to Santa Muerte.
