Trump Recognized Golan as Israeli, by Decree. Israel's Never Had a Better Friend

Penny at Penny for your thoughts - 17 hours ago
*That's right. Reality altered with the swipe of a pen.* *Reuters has adapted it's language for the new 'reality'* *U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday recognized Israel’s 1981 annexation of the Golan Heights in an election boost for visiting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, prompting a sharp response from Syria, which once held the strategic land. * *With Netanyahu looking over his shoulder (and gloating) at the White House, Trump signed a proclamation officially granting U.S. recognition of the Golan as Israeli territory - a dramatic shift from decades of U.S. pol... more »

Refrigerants not required: Flexible metal cooling prototype demonstrates extreme efficiency

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 19 hours ago
This is a mechanical system. Yet the only energy actually needed in theory is that needed to move air as the actual contraction, expansion cycle can be rigged to offset each other. It will still be a largely mechanical device, so it will wear out but we know how to work with that. Now throw in a centrifugal air splitter to separate a hot and cold portion as well. Then perhaps we can develop a potential two step system as well. On the other hand a 20 degree centigrade range is well within the operating range of both home heating and home cooling. We would actually be happy ... more »

It's irrational to both worship and completely distrust a thinker

People like Weinstein hide their fanatical desire to silence thinkers into some "flattering" mumbo-jumbo Peter Thiel has hired Eric Weinstein as a part-time economist, part-time talking head about science – someone who produces far-reaching and emotionally loaded statements about the value of science, its future, the relationship between scientists and the establishment and, as we will see... the need for the majority society or the rich to conquer the scientists' brains and turn the scientists into obedient slaves.

Why the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons is strongly opposed to mandatory vaccines

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
To start with mandatory vaccination will be imposed on victims suffering from a suppressed immune system and we do not know how detect that. That is a terrible idea. Otherwise the coverage needs to actually be minimized rather than maximized because of the real adjutant problem. What we do have is a formally back water industry that has now been rushed into the market with both historic and current evidence of scientific corner cutting. Using adjutants as placebos is outrageous. Otherwise though, we are winning. It will just take a little longer. *Why the Ass... more »

Grand Jury Filing Over Use of Explosives on 9/11 ‘Names Names’ of Who May Have Blown Up Towers

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
This is hard confirmation that the Federal government is engaged in a proper investigation of the demolition of the three towers. Unsurprising, of course, since Trump is a builder and is in fact an expert observer of demolition sites. It is obvious then that he immediately removed roadblocks to investigation just as he did with the Pedophile problem. We may well get an announcement as part of the upcoming cycle of major disclosure and arrests. More likely he will spare the BUSH family until after the 2020 election. History will have all the facts regarding JFK and 9/11. ... more »

First Contact 1947 IS-BE Chpt13 A Lesson In The Future

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
One important item is elucidated here. The IS-BE use various forms of synthetic bodies in order to operate in third tier matter environments. Thus we have a best explanation for the Greys in particular and by extension all other bodies we do encounter. The reptilians are also likely synthetic and inasmuch as we observe the same apparent hierarchy as we observe with the greys and others, they all conform to similar social norms. Otherwise we are all IS-BEs trapped on earth and meddled with by trouble makers. Terraforming Terra may change all that. *Chapter Thirteen* *A Lesso... more »

Qanon Muellar Report in - Blockade Removed

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
The Mueller report has landed and the most important takeaway is that there will be no more indictments. Considering what has come out, it is lean pickings for the opposition but it certainly carried on for two years providing ample cover for the INVESTIGATION. We still have not read the report but that no longer matters at all. Now the full weight of media attention world wide will be on the INVESTIGATION that must ultimately end in the formal arrest and prosecution of one Barack Obama. Leading up to all that will be a cascade of major arrests and possibly even public mass a... more »

The Sugar Conspiracy

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
This is more or less a tale of fashion rather than science or industrial conspiracy. The meta stats informed us that sugar was a problem from almost the beginning and none so compelling as the health effects of wartime rationing. The first rule of all science should be to ask what exactly do the big numbers say? . They are usually out there and they provide direction. Folk medicine associated diabetes with an excess of sugar. These were received truths long before science ever showed up and they typically reflected observations of the apparent big picture. That holds equally tru... more »

First Contact 1947 IS-BE Chpt 12 A Lesson In Immortality

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
More insight and it all conforms perfectly to my cloud cosmoloogy. The real addition is that we have many IS-BEs. I also suspect that such a being will produce multiple aspects of itself in order to populate its universe as well. That seems to be what is happening. It then follows that absorption back into hte IS-BE may not be that attractive to some aspects who may then opt to become separate IS-BEs and create their own universe. Once again, empirical infinity is a very large number. Yet it is not infinity as we understand mathematical infinity. *Chapter Twelve* *A Les... more »

First Contact 1947 IS-BE Chpt10 A Lesson In Biology

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
This item is at least a stand alone and covers an area in which we are also comfortable with and particularly separate from the rest. What we learn is that the creation of life forms became a business a long time ago. In fact the narrative here is completely mirrored by our own biochemical industry. At the same time our own evolutionary narrative is debunked as it should be once you understand the inherent self creation of the spirit or IS-BE and it is that which creates third tier matter life. Again we are provided a narrative understandable in our terms. This is what we natu... more »

100 million Americans have chronic pain. Very few use one of the best tools to treat it.

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
We already know that the automatic nervous system is influenced by your cognitive brain. Not in the way of actually giving orders, but in setting up conditions. After all you need to learn somewhere that a snake is dangerous and this needs to set up your instincts to flee. It all happens somewhere else other than your cognitive mind. Thus psychology turns out to be effective. Simply identifying the connection allows you to train out of the problem. I have personally taken the first two Landmark Courses which explores all this while achieving a 94% satisfaction rate from those... more »

First Contact 1947 IS-BE Chpt 11 A Lesson In Science

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
As usual, there is a lot here. We are admonished to understand spirit and its critical importance to understanding our observed physical universe. We are not told that spirit itself is physical as second tier matter while we live as third tier matter beings. Again this is only understood now through my Cloud Cosmology. From that perspective, all this works completely with zero dissonance. Consider how unlikely that actually is. In the meantime we learn we are on our own to eliminate the Amnesia machine although the Domain advent has loosened this somewhat. It will obviously ... more »
