Being a blogger, I'm constantly trawling the net for news. Rarely, however, have I come across a piece of news this bizarre. It does not appear to be a hoax.
There is an agency within the U.S. Department of Defense called the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, better known by its acronym DARPA.
Headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, DARPA is charged with developing new military technology. The agency focuses on short-term (2 to 4 years) projects and is independent from other more conventional military R&D, reporting directly to senior Department of Defense management. DARPA has around 240 personnel and a budget of $3.2 billion. Since its founding in 1958, DARPA has been responsible for funding the development of many technologies that have had a major effect on the world, such as computer networking.
DARPA has six program offices, all of which report to the DARPA director. The current DARPA director (since 2009) is Regina E. Dugan.
Some of DARPA's current active projects are:
DARPA (under its first name, ARPA) was created 1958 in response to the 1957 Soviet launching of Sputnik. Given its beginning and its mission to develop cutting-edge military technology, the news that two DARPA scientists claim they once served as chrononauts (time-traveling, universe-exploring government agents) may not be completely outlandish.
What is outlandish is that the two scientists say they had been accompanied on a Mars mission by a teenage Barack Obama, then named Barry Soetoro.
Finally the mystery of the Face on Mars is solved! It's Barack Obama!
Spencer Ackerman reports for science and technology magazine Wired, Jan. 3, 2012:
As a young man in the early 1980s, Obama was part of a secret CIA project to explore Mars. The future president teleported there, along with the future head of Darpa.
That's the assertion, at least, of a pair of self-proclaimed time-traveling, universe-exploring government agents. Andrew D. Basiago and William Stillings insist that they once served as "chrononauts" at Darpa's behest, traversing the boundaries of time and space. They swear: A youthful Barack Obama was one of them. [...]
As "Barry Soetero," the 19-year-old Obama was one of 10 youths selected to secretly teleport to and from Mars, forming a band of interplanetary Teen Titans. Regina Dugan, the director of Darpa, was another member.
Between 1981 and 1983, Obama is supposed to have visited Mars twice, by way of a teleportation chamber called a "jump room." Basiago, a fellow chrononaut, told the website Exopolitics that he saw Obama "walk back to the jump room from across the Martian terrain." To acknowledge his comrade, Obama is said to have told Basiago, "We're here" — apparently, "with some sense of fatalism."
It is not known what exactly Obama did on Mars. [...] "Simply put, your task is to be seen and not eaten," an elder chrononaut, retired Army Maj. Ed Dames, is alleged to have told a young Obama.
Ackerman reports that "Officially, the White House says Obama never went to Mars."
Maybe that's why Obama ended NASA's manned space program. He's been there and done that! LOL
