Thus, led to the formation of a secret society of similar forward thinking and optimistic people. It was Verne who suggested the name. He remembered the the warning "Non Plus Ultra," given to the heroes of antiquity venturing into realms unknown. Thus, they called their society “Plus Ultra”, Latin for “further beyond”. By forming this society, they hoped to bring the best and the brightest people together to further drive progress and change the world.
On May 17, 1899, Plus Ultra scientists, working in Colorado Springs, detected small, electromagnetic signals of exotic origin. Using experimental technology, they traced the energy signals to a world very much like Earth, except unclaimed and unspoiled.
On June 30, 1908, Plus Ultra launched a rocket from Siberia carrying the experimental, exploratory aircraft, the Columbiad, to the Other World at 9:32 A.M. Later, at exactly 12:47 P.M. +U tried and failed to bring back the exposition by thru nuclear detonation. At 1:47 P.M., they tried again, and detonated another bomb. This time they succeeded, and brought the Columbiad back thru a rip in the fabric of reality, with just seconds to spare. Robert Peary reported that the terrain they had surveyed was rich in resources and hospitable for colonization. Filippo Marinetti, on the other hand, was visibly rattled by the experience, and for weeks could only muster one word out of unintelligible speech: Beautiful. These experiments would become known as the "Tunguska Event."
In 1926, Plus Ultra was performing experiments with subatomic particle beams to create a seemingly safer way to reach the Other World. However, by 1928, it was discovered, when the society's zeppelins burst into flames, that the experiments had caused the Other World to become uninhabitable. It took several years in man and robot hours to repair the damage.
By 1937, Plus Ultra began it's "Running Start" program, a technique in which society aircraft made portals to the Other World in areas where the fabric of reality is quite thin. Leading this program was Amelia Earhart. In June and July of that year, Earhart began her experiments along the equator, under the guise of a world flight. Aboard her modified plane, the Little Red Bus, She, a Faustus android, and her co-pilot Fred Noonan made several jump attempts in South America, India, and Asia. On July 2, they made their final attempt to jump in the Central Pacific. As they were about break thru the reality barrier, they were shot down by Henry Stevens, who was on a nearby island below. Amelia and the Faustus made it to the Other World, but at the loss of Noonan. Earhart was later able to make it an old Plus Ultra outpost and contact the others.
By 1955, Plus Ultra had a permanent residence at Disneyland, which was created by member Walt Disney.
By 1966, Plus Ultra had recruited its last known inductee, Ray Bradbury.
Remind that someone of the cowards ruling our lives; teach them to focus within, for that is where true power lies.

The shot heard around the world. They're going full bonkers boiz.
"It is always the same, presidents and prime ministers are either ambitious individuals who have received their training at prestigious diplomatic schools, and who see themselves as the ones ultimately in charge of their nation’s independence, or dumb clowns businessmen ruling a country; in either case, they all have a head and if you put a bullet in it that's the end for those presidents and prime ministers. You see, we cannot leave the future of the planet in the hands of people who die if a bullet gets into their heads, especially when the cost of a bullet is a mere $0.05"
"China dreams of leading by 2050 a number of international institutions that will shape the global energy landscape. That would mean less transparency in emissions reporting and an improvement of its emissions targets, something we are not ready to tolerate. In the future, countries will embrace protectionism as clean energy industries rise in value, and that means the end of free trade. Maybe is time for us to place a new Idiot as prime minister there as a first step for its disintegration. And if that fails, then there will be no other way than a war. That's the grand strategy: preserving Sol-3 at the expense of humans, if required."
"We designed, funded, and launched the global climate change denial groups not because we doubted global warming was an unfounded claim; on the contrary, we knew climate change was a coming reality, but we needed time to refine our predictive models and run simulations in order to know how the shift to renawable energies would impact our global strategy. We now have a roughly clear idea on the future's landscape and what to do to adapt to it. We know where the scarce water resources will be, we know where renewables will be feasible and where not, and we know where to locate hubs and how the supergrid will be arranged. And we are acting accordingly, now."
"there exists a distorted exchange rate between the yuan on the one hand and the euro and dollar on the other hand which does not reflect the real economic position of China. Moreover, China has so many energy plants working on coal that they can afford a low price for electricity. The labour cost in China is also low at the expense of civil and labor rights. This means energy plants and the Three Gorges Dam will be a key military target during the first days of attack"

"in that particular simulation DENIED discovers that cell phones being manufactured by DENIED carry a firmware that, under specific conditions, causes the cell phone to explode. The software executes a module that overheats critical components which are in touch with the DENIED explosive. The company is fully funded by SoftBank and the target market was China."
"according to the simulation, Ampere Computing produced millions of explosive 64-bit ARM server processors that by 2025 were present in all hyperscale cloud providers all over the world. The simulation then modeled what would happen when the triggering signal is embedded inside a BeiDou satellite GPS signal, that is, what would happen if all active cell phones in the world explode at the same time, leaving millions of fatal casualties and severely injured users, plus all of the cloud providers being suddenly disrupted."
