Grex Agora Item 11: Grex is 25 Years Old
Entered by krj on Thu Aug 4 22:51:10 UTC 2016:

"Grex came on line on June 26, 1991 and opened to the public on July 18. 
It ran on a Sun 2 computer contibuted by Mike Bernson. It had four 
public dial-in lines, and was housed rent-free in a warehouse belonging 
to Ken Ascher. A non-profit corporation called Cyberspace Communications 
had been formed to run it. Grex was firmly dedicated to open access, 
pushing the idea further than M-Net had ever taken it."

Happy 25th, Grex.

Thanks for keeping this system running.

See, if "death to America" came true there would be no more Grex.
Please spread the word to your countrymen.

How will the social credit score in America unfold?

Who are the gatekeepers? What is Project Looking Glass?
How will quantum computers change society? What are the applications?

Operation Paperclip

#9 If we survive the new bio-weapon #19, I believe there will be some 
disclosure on some interesting things that will change the paradigm. 
IMHO it will be a nation like Brazil that will disclose first and the 
United States will either ridicule it or try to catch up. There are a 
lot of talking head comedians who instruct us to laugh at such things.

Why take a ship to Mars when you can open a door to it in an 
underground base facility?

In the meantime there are B&W videos of a papier-m ch  Chinese moon 
lander to keep us entertained.

The exploration of the Seven Seas is still a big secret

re#10
In a certain sense Canada has already offered some disclosure from the lips
of former Defence Minister Paul Hellyer. quote:
There are at least four types of alien species, and they have been visiting
earth for thousands of years.
The different species probably have different agendas and should not be
considered as one entity.
One of the species is called the Tall Whites. Hellyer claims that two of them
are working with the United States.
There are live E.T.s on earth at this present time.
A cabal formed by the Council on Foreign Relations, the Bilderbergers, and
The Trilateral Commission, the international banking cartel, the oil cartel,
and select members of the military are planning to create one world
government. They are the ones supressing the information about aliens from
the public.

I'm still waiting to see the JFK files.  Did they ever admit a coup?


#14 of 28 by walkman on Mon Mar 23 11:34:48 2020:

#12 People laugh but every bit of what you said is true.

#13 I have never heard of an admitted coup but deep state be deep state.

When legal means and military means are not viable solutions..

re#13 it will never happen to trump....people are too scared of getting 
pence.

unless they kill two birds with one stone,not hard to imagine. I have 
never seen a president keep the VP so close..or use him so much.
