2-15-20 In late 2013, more than 50 of the world’s most eminent scientists severely criticised the research Ron Fouchier and colleagues at the Erasmus Medical Centre in Rotterdam, who have been developing mutant varieties of the H5N1 bird-flu virus that are far more dangerous to humans. The scientists wrote that the research was designed to make the virus fully transmissible between humans, and clearly had a dual civil-military function. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/geopolitics-biological-weapons-part-2-efficiency-deployment

Ancient Antarctica Pyramids?
There are said to be pyramids on Antarctica. But they could also just be mountains (how disappointing if true?). The theory is up there with the hollow Earth, flat Earth, and a lot of Ancient Alien theories. Some also say that it's not a pyramid at all, but a snow covered mountain on Antarctica. But what fun would that be? Enter the Piri Reis Map, made in 1513 by the Ottoman admiral/cartographer Piri Reis.

Democrats hate people love the earth
California hasn't built any new water storage facilities to tide Californians through droughts since the 1970s. The population of California has nearly doubled in that same time frame. Why?

But what's important, the snail darter surviving, is being protected by California Democrats. Oddly they're using very capitalistic reasoning.

General Flynn, an American hero, was forced to plead guilty to lying to the FBI after he was nearly driven into bankruptcy paying for his defense lawyers and, allegedly, after the FBI threatened to go after his son. His "lie" occurred in a meeting with the FBI that he thought was about coordination. He wasn't told that it was in fact an interrogation as part of the FBI's war on Trump. The agents who interviewed him wrote that they didn't think he was lying. Remember that since he didn't know he was being interrogated he had no reason to research all of his answers.
