Astronomers discovered that the HAT-P-7 planetary system includes at least two giant planets and one companion star.

The discovery of a previously unknown companion, HAT-P-7B, to the central star, HAT-P-7, as well as confirmation of another giant planet, HAT-P-7c, orbiting outside of the retrograde planet HAT-P-7b offers up new insights into how such planets may form.

Astronomers used the Subaru Telescope to discover the first evidence of a retrograde orbit of an extrasolar planet back in 2008. Since this discovery, they pursued a question to try and explain HAT-P-7b’s origin, which sits about 1,040 light years away from Earth in the constellation Cygnus.

The astronomers took high contrast images of the system with the High Contrast Instrument for the Subaru Next Generation Adaptive Optics (HiCIAO) to develop a more complete picture of it.

They first discovered two companion candidates around the system in 2009, and measured their proper motion over a three-year period until 2012. They confirmed that one of the two candidates is a common proper motion stellar companion to HAT-P-7, known as HAT-P-7B.

The team confirmed a long-term radial velocity trend for the system, indicating that the existence of another giant planet, HAT-P-7c, was orbiting between the orbits of HAT-P-7b and HAT-P-7B.

They believe that the existence of the companion star, and the newly confirmed outer planet are likely to play an important role in forming and maintaining the retrograde orbit of the inner planet via the Kozai mechanism.

Norio Narita of National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ), and his colleagues, suggests that the companion star first affected the orbit of the newly confirmed outer planet through the Kozai mechanism, causing it to tilt.

When the orbit of that planet inclined enough, HAT-P7c altered the orbit of the inner planet through the Kozai mechanism, so that it became retrograde. This orbital evolution of the planet is one of the scenarios that could explain the origin of retrograde/tilted/eccentric planets.

The team demonstrated the importance of conducting high-contrast direct imaging observations for known planetary systems to check for the presence of outer faint companions. The findings provide important clues for understanding the origin of a variety of planetary systems.

  • The NSA goals for targeting individuals to become a “shooter on the shelf”:

    • Isolation and sensory deprivation

    • Complete breakdown of their happiness until they reach despair

    • Removal of personality, ego, and sense of individuality through depatterning and humiliation

    • Fragmentation of personality through torture

    • Desensitization to violence through imagery and example

    • Reprogramming fragmented personalities through hypnosis and psychic driving.

    Harassment Objectives

    by: Julianne McKinney

    In his book, Psychiatry and the CIA: Victims of Mind Control, Dr. Harvey Weinstein quotes the following passage from a book entitled, Battle for the Mind: A Physiology of Conversion and Brainwashing, by William Sargant (Greenwood Press, Westport, CT, 1957):

    “‘By increasing or prolonging stresses in various ways, or inducing physical debilitation, a more thorough alteration of the person’s thinking processes may be achieved. …If the stress or the physical debilitation, or both, are carried one stage further, it may happen that patterns of thought and behavior, especially those of recent acquisition, become disrupted. New patterns can then be substituted, or suppressed patterns allowed to reassert themselves; or the subject may begin to think or act in ways that precisely contradict his former ones.

    “‘…If a complete sudden collapse can be produced by prolonging or intensifying emotional stress, the cortical slate may be wiped clean temporarily of its more recently implanted patterns of behavior, perhaps allowing others to be substituted more easily.’”

    Dr. Weinstein then comments: “The parallel with [Dr. Ewen] Cameron’s theory of differential amnesia is striking, and the relationship to brainwashing is abundantly clear.”11 Dr. Cameron, employed by McGill University’s Allan Memorial Institute in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, between 1943 and 1964, conducted brainwashing experiments upon select, non-volunteer psychiatric patients on behalf of the CIA. Dr. Weinstein’s father was one of Cameron’s victims.

    Sargant’s theorems and Cameron’s associated experimental findings appear to be the driving force behind the harassment and experimentation now being reported to this Association. All of these individuals are being subjected to a series of overlapping circumstances which apparently are meant to induce and sustain long-term extremes of stress. All of these individuals have been effectively isolated. Unethical psychiatrists and physicians are involved in the majority of these cases. Mind-altering prescription drugs are being used for clearly non-therapeutic purposes. Evidence of LSD use is also beginning to surface (one of Cameron’s favored mind-altering substances). And “psychic driving” techniques—Cameron’s pet brainwashing method—are involved in all these cases, to a much greater and more potentially effective degree where auditory input is involved.

    The long-term objectives of these harassment and experimentation campaigns appear to be quite fundamental; viz.,

    (1) induce a sense of perverted “loyalty” toward the very agencies engaged in the individual’s harassment, to confuse his or her priorities where the possibility of obtaining legal redress might be concerned;

    (2) redirect the targeted individual’s feelings of hopelessness, anger and frustration toward racial and ethnic groups, and toward select, prominent political figures, to include the President of the United States; and

    (3) force the individual to commit an act of violence, whether suicide or murder, under conditions which can be plausibly denied by the government.

    An operation’s ultimate success apparently hangs on this latter objective. We have successfully obstructed this process in a number of cases now being investigated.

    Some ways to be targeted.

    SILENT INTERROGATION

    Simply joining Alcoholics or Narcotics Anonymous can lead to mental evaluations for your prospects of becoming a “shooter on the shelf”. By examining your past traumas by Remote Neural Monitoring during these meetings they can determine your likelihood for successful trauma based mind control. The targeting of these type meetings and their mistrust and alienation of present or past drug abusers and alcoholics has been mentioned on other TI websites. These RNM abuses were a major source of information in the 90′s. Imagine joining a group to over come addictions and being rewarded with this type of torture and abuse. Only this warped and evil group of satanists would do such a thing. If a judge sentences you to attend AA or NA meetings, jail would have been better. The NSA can target these types of meetings and get a free opening to your past memories and traumas with pictures and sound and level of chemical emotion. Heaven forbid you ever have psycho-analysis in today’s world. Job interviews are also mined for data and often led on both sides by computer targeting needs. Most TIs are targeted for much less, like just for your name and what it may mean to someone. Most people just got the wrong job and fell into this nightmare.

    Here are some private sector jobs that can lead to this torture:

    1) Autozone/AllData

    2) Aramark

    3) ATT and all telecom companies Verizon,Sprint, etc…

    4) All cable and satellite companies

    5) Major churches and church leaders

    6) Post Office,FedEx,UPS,Etc…

    7) All airline jobs

    8) All computer companies,SCIENCE OR RESEARCH

    9) All community leadership positions

    10) Anyone on tv, radio, internet, song writers and movie script writers and newspaper reporters and all cameramen.

    Do you now get the sense we are all in the “matrix” and can be targeted anytime for any reason?

    More and more people are being targeted everyday.

    May the Lord protect us all and end this torture.
