Topics covered on today's episode of Mind Set Daily "Malaysia Airlines Flight 370: Is There a Bermuda Triangle Connection?" As officials from several countries, and dozens of planes and boats, scour the South China Sea and the Bay of Bengal for the mysteriously missing China-bound Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 with 239 people aboard, some people are wondering if there might be some connection to the Bermuda Triangle. Flight 370's disappearance is a genuine mystery for now, but just because it has gone missing doesn't mean that anything unexplained or supernatural happened to it. The search area is vast and remote, and ocean currents can scatter debris great distances. The fate of Flight 370 is unknown for now, but an explanation could surface any day, literally. Just think about it... "Frack, Rattle and Roll: Does Hydraulic Fracturing Play a Role in Quakes?" How much of a role does hydraulic fracturing play in the startling rise of quakes in the middle of the U.S.? What’s definitely suspicious is the astounding increase in earthquake activity in parts of the central and eastern U.S.—the same areas that have taken part in the fracking boom. So induced earthquakes are definitely one more reason to worry about the rapid spread of fracking. But their are other concerns—potential groundwater contamination, spills and accidents and stress on small town infrastructures. Until Next Time... Support Mind Set Central Subscribe or donate

Topics covered on today's episode of Mind Set Daily "China Begins Openly Use Drones to Spray Chemtrails" It has been well reported that China’s cities have some of the worst pollution problems in the world, with smog so thick that it is hard to see through. The Chinese government’s solution is actually to use drones that will disperse chemtrails into the air. They claim that the chemtrails will actually work to disperse the pollution, but there is very little actual basis for these claims, and little is known about possible side effects that these chemicals can cause.   "Newly Found Megalithic Ruins in Russia" An incredible discovery that was recently made in Russia threatens to shatter conventional theories about the history of the planet. On Mount Shoria in southern Siberia, researchers have found an absolutely massive wall of granite stones. Some of these gigantic granite stones are estimated to weigh more than 3,000 tons, many of them were cut “with flat surfaces, right angles, and sharp corners”. Nothing of this magnitude has ever been discovered before. So how in the world did someone cut 3,000 ton granite stones with extreme precision, transport them up the side of a mountain and stack them 40 meters high? According to the commonly accepted version of history, it would be impossible for ancient humans with very limited technology to accomplish such a thing. Could it be possible that there is much more to the history of this planet than we are being taught? Find out more by visiting by listening to this episode and visiting the article links.

Topics covered on today's episode of Mind Set Daily "Biotech is Creating GMO Human Babies" With the human race slowly being killed off by GMO food, environmental poisons, petroleum, plastics, chemtrails, pharmaceuticals, vaccinations, radiation, and weaponized warfare, the powers that be are working on new strain of stronger ‘humans’ to carry on our existence. Forget designer babies with specific gene preferences determined by parents. It is called transhumanism and scientists in the UK and US have already submitted proposals to legally create GMO babies. Actually, GMO human embryos have already been created. Techno-eugenics, you might call it – a way to appropriate humanity for the use of an elite class. If you want Big Pharma and Biotech companies to be able to own every square inch of you – right down to your DNA – then this is a great advance in technology and medicine. The babies you make will not be your own, and the DNA in your own body will be patented by some corporation that has the same rights as a person. It's a brave new world, just think about it... "Facebook is Buying 11,000 Drones" Facebook is in negotiations to buy a drone manufacturer with the aim of using its high-altitude autonomous aircraft to beam internet connections to isolated communities in Africa and around the world. The social networking company is one of the main backers of the internet.org project, which aims to connect the large parts of the world which remain offline. Today, only 2.7 billion people – just over one-third of the world's population – have access to the internet. Listen to this episode and visit the article links to find out more!

Topics covered on today's episode of Mind Set Daily "Chinese Man Becomes First To Sue Government Over Severe Smog" A man in a smog-ridden northern city has become the first person in China to sue the government for failing to curb air pollution. A resident of a northern China Province submitted his complaint to a district court asking the city's Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau to "perform its duty to control air pollution according to the law". He is also seeking compensation from the agency for residents for the choking pollution that has much of northern China, this winter. It was unclear whether the court would accept the lawsuit.   "Native American Tribe Adopts Its Own Bitcoin Clone" Payu Harris, a Bitcoin developer and activist at the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota, made a promise last year to continue his tribe's struggle against the United States. "My family fought and died on this soil,” Harris said in a recent interview, surveying the land of his tribe, the Oglala Lakota Nation. “Suddenly the story of Custer’s Last Stand wasn’t just words on a page but something deeply personal. I looked at how things were for the tribe now and suddenly had an idea about how we might fix it." That fix is a Bitcoin clone called MazaCoin, which Harris hopes his people can use to sidestep the federal government, and lift themselves out of poverty. Although exactly how that might happen is unclear. Harris convinced chiefs to accept it as the official national currency; it's the first time native people have launched their own crypto-currency.

Topics covered on today's episode of Mind Set Daily "No Mars for Muslims?" Martian colonization is a risky proposition. So risky, in fact, that a group of Islamic leaders in the United Arab Emirates issued a religious ruling saying Muslims should not go to the Red Planet. The General Authority of Islamic Affairs and Endowment (GAIAE) ruling compares a Mars mission to suicide, and says that those who attempt it can expect the same consequences in the afterlife. In fact, GAIAE went so far as to claim that those seeking to escape God's judgment on Mars would be unable to do so, saying: "This is an absolutely baseless and unacceptable belief because not even an atom falls outside the purview of Allah, the Creator of everything."   "Melting Snow Delivers Deadly Shocks" As winter's snow slowly melts, people may be happy to see that sidewalks are finally free of ice and slush.

Topics covered on today's episode of Mind Set Daily "Does America Need a Bacon Intervention?" Has America's obsession with all things bacon gone hog wild? U.S. bacon sales climbed 9.5 percent in 2013 to an all-time record of almost $4 billion. Much to the alarm of cardiologists nationwide, America now seems to be completely wrapped up in bacon — not unlike many of its favorite foods: Virtually any item that can be consumed — and many that can't — now comes in a bacon-infused style.   "Brain Implants that can Restore Memories and Experiences" DARPA, at the behest of the US Department of Defense, is developing a black box brain implant — an implant that will be wired into a soldier’s brain and record their memories. If the soldier then suffers memory loss due to brain injury, the implant will then be used to restore those memories. The same implant could also be used during training or in the line of duty, too.

Topics covered on today's episode of Mind Set Daily "Is the Loch Ness Monster Dead?" A veteran custodian of Loch Ness monster sightings is concerned that Nessie has not been seen in well over a year, and may be gone, according to a news report. This is the first time in nearly 90 years that such a lengthy lag in sightings has occurred. But fear not, monster lovers and Inverness Tourism Board: If history is any indication, eventually there will be more sightings of Nessie, whether they exist or not. There are enough things in the lake that can be mistaken for a monster, including large fish, strange waves, and even the occasional hoax, to keep the sightings going and the tourist dollars coming.   "Vein Scan Payment System Launched" We live in a world where the security of our finances is just as important of a concern as the security of our homes. Identity theft, fraudulent payments, and accidental misuse of funds are all realities in our fast paced economy. In recent years however, technology has played a huge role in securing financial assets. PINs and security codes have been the status quo for basic financial security, but two friends in New Jersey are taking that concept a step further by using vein scans to confirm a person's identity to secure financial transactions. It’s called Pulse Wallet and it is a point-of-sale register and biometric payment terminal. PulseWallet lets customers link their credit cards and other payment methods to their palms so they can leave their wallets at home. Will that be cash, credit or palm? Just think about it...

Topics covered on today's episode of Mind Set Daily "Android Robocops to Patrol Crime-Riddin Areas" The local neighborhood watch may be beefing up its robotic arsenal if a new technology startup gets its way anytime soon. In a bid to make local communities safer and give local law enforcement agencies more tools to fight crime, California-based Knightscope recently unveiled a line of K5 robots that it believes will “predict and prevent crime with an innovative combination of hardware, software and social engagement.” The new K5 units have a look that resembles R2-D2 from “Star Wars,” but their casual design masks a highly advanced robot that its creators hope will drastically cut down on crime. "Cancer-Sniffing Glowing Fruit Flies" A lot of animals have an amazing sense of smell, so they can often pick up things that even sensitive odor sensing machines might miss. We already know that dogs and even bees have an impressive ability to sniff out diseased cells, but now a group of scientists in Germany have genetically modified fruit flies so their antennae glow if they smell cancer cells.

Topics covered on today's episode of Mind Set Daily "Visions of Life Before Conception" While Christian theology denies such a thing is possible, the concept that life precedes physical fertilization is a given for people who believe in reincarnation. But is such an idea learned? Or is it based on an innate feeling about our own immortality?

Topics covered on today's episode of Mind Set Daily "Lawsuit Alleges NASA Is Failing To Investigate Alien Life" You may recall, NASA recently announced that a strange rock had somehow "appeared" in front of its Mars Opportunity rover. The explanations for the mystery rock were straight-forward: maybe some kind of nearby impact sent a rock toward the rover, or, more likely, the rover knocked the rock out of the ground and no one noticed until later. The lawsuit, filed recently in a California court, is aimed at NASA and its Administrator, Charles Bolden, requesting that the agency "perform a public, scientific, and statutory duty which is to closely photograph and thoroughly scientifically examine and investigate a putative biological organism. The "rock," according to the lawsuit, was there the whole time, it just grew until it became visible. "The refusal to take close up photos from various angles, the refusal to take microscopicimages of the specimen, the refusal to release high resolution photos, is inexplicable, recklessly negligent, and bizarre," according to the suit. "Chinese Social Media Prays for ‘Little Bunny’ Moon Rover" Troubled Jade Rabbit module becomes social media sensation.

Topics covered on today's episode of Mind Set Daily "Google buys artificial intelligence start-up DeepMind" In an apparent move to feed its smart-hardware ambitions, Google has bought an artificial intelligence startup, DeepMind, for somewhere in the ballpark of $500 million. Considering all of the data Google sifts through, and the fact that it might be getting into robotics, it's not completely absurd that they'd want some software to give a robotic helping hand. But the other part of this story is a little stranger: the deal reportedly came under the condition that Google create an "ethics board" for the project. "Who Died in Your House?"

Researchers used the K computer in Japan, currently the fourth most powerful in the world, to simulate human brain activity.   "Hollywood Figures Spied for CIA" It’s well known that Hollywood loves a good spy story. But what is also true, according to a new book by a former senior CIA official, is that movie makers regularly do some real-life spying. “The CIA has long had a special relationship with the entertainment industry, devoting considerable attention to fostering relationships with Hollywood movers and shakers—studio executives, producers, directors, big-name actors,” John Rizzo, the former acting CIA general counsel, wrote in his new book, “Company Man: Thirty Years of Crisis and Controversy in the CIA.” Find out more by listening to this episode!

The "crop circle" was not an astronomical calendar forewarning of an impending comet, but instead a drawing of the company's new processing chip.  A small team of British crop-circle artists created the complex pattern expertly and without detection. It was a great publicity stunt, and one that left many people wondering how experts could have been fooled. Find out more by listening to this episode! Support Mind Set Central Subscribe or donate
