A Solution They Do Not Want You To Know?

greencrow at Greencrow As The Crow Flies - 21 hours ago
*Dana Ashlie's Video August 16th, 2019* *Please Read the Notes Below* *Prior to Viewing* Folks, the first thing I want you to note about this post is that Dana Ashlie's video was made on *August 16th, 2019.* That's *before* the plandemic/scamdemic hit the fan. The reason the contents are pertinent at this time is because of the threats made by Dr. Fauci and others that *there will be a "Second Wave" of the Pandemic, likely in the fall. * I believe, along with others such as *"Amazing Polly",* as expressed in her most recent video, that the perpZ are blackmailing and extorting the ... more »

Midnight Meme Of The Day!

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 21 hours ago
*by Noah* Tonight's meme is a simple historic graph from the now badly and deliberately damaged Center For Disease Control that shows us what happened here in America with the flu pandemic of 1918-1919. The curve went down after several months, WW1 ended and people got tired of being cooped up so out in the streets they went. "No need for social distancing, Yay!" Then, of course, the very predictable happened and things got even worse than they had been before. In October alone,160,000 died, maybe more. Sane people see the graph as a warning. However, Republicans, as evidenced by ... more »

The Most Unusual Society in History

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
Not quite of course, but it sounds good. There were ample systemic issues that drove reform efforts. The problem with reform is that stupid people think that problems can be corrected by hiring a lot of friends to go manage it all. Do that often enough and you have an impractical mess. This item tackles the easy stuff and that notes that the top two thirds did just fine. That was never the problem and is not the problem today.. The real problem of all economics is the outright elimination of poverty itself for the lower third in a manner which also eliminates their exploi... more »

Bold New Theory Offered for Source of Tunguska Blast

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
Yes of course. We have zero evidence of blast debris, so then we have NO blast debris. But we do have a high speed asteroid passing through. This asteroid was a remnant of the impactor that was targeted to hammer the Ice Cap around 12,900 BP. That object was certainly broken up but also delivered several massive asteroids as well, one recently discovered in Greenland. Thus a small or even quite large asteroid skimmed through out athmosphere and passed on. At seventy miles per second or therabouts, a huge shock wave would be produced whose energy would easily have produced a... more »

Obama, Biden Oval Office Meeting On January 5 Was Key To Entire Anti-Trump Operation

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
The whole sorry enterprise has been laid bare. the arrests will be a relief. We knew a long time ago and so did everyone imnportant. This long dtrawn out reveal is meant to educate the whole Americal public an\d eliminate simple denial as a faux degfense. Understand that MIL INTEL has had it all from day one. The difficulty was that none of this could be produced in a court of law. Thus we have had three years of drama and nonsense played out before our eyes to maneuver perps into the light.. *Obama, Biden Oval Office Meeting On January 5 Was Key To Entire Anti-Trump O... more »

Patriotic Vaccines: The Divided Coronavirus Cause

The water conservation law and irrationality of the fight against drought

Luboš Motl at The Reference Frame - 21 hours ago
Thank God I could switch back to the "classic Blogger" user interface. Yesterday, Pilsen and much of Czechia has received an inch of rain, after several dry weeks. Quite generally, people say that Czechia tends to suffer from drought. That's partly because people have forgotten about the 1997 and 2002 floods; and they just sometimes mindlessly parrot the whining. I am confident that the plants have looked incredibly green and healthy for years; there is no clear sign of drought in the landscape that you could see by eyeballing. The Great Bolevec Pond In average, Pilsen should receive... more »

So What Was The Russia Hoax Really About?

Francis Menton at Manhattan Contrarian - 22 hours ago
* Have you been thinking lately that the more we learn about the Obama administration’s Russia hoax, the less sense it makes? For years now, the working hypothesis of conservative pundits has been that the narrative of Trump campaign collusion with Russia was a Deep State plot from the likes of Brennan/Comey/McCabe/Strzok to weaken and potentially remove Trump from office — a “soft coup,” if you will. * That hypothesis was always hard to understand — why would such high ranking officials take big risks with such a transparently ridiculous narrative with little chance of succeeding? —... more »

Nick Davies, Clare Cornes, Graeme Sheriff at The National Interest - 22 hours ago
*Nick Davies, Clare Cornes, Graeme Sheriff* *Public Health, World* [image: Reuters] Less use of cars will benefit the environment, as well as the health of citizens. COVID-19 has radically changed our travel habits in just a matter of weeks. Walking and cycling are up, as people enjoy their daily exercise or take essential journeys they might otherwise have made by public transport.

10,000 Rounds in 27 Minutes: Why The M2 Browning Was Such A Beast

Warfare History Network at The National Interest - 22 hours ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, * From its inception, the M2 Browning .50-Caliber Machine Gun has been considered one of the deadliest (and highest produced) weapons ever made. *Here's What You Need To Remember:* When one thinks back to the weapons of mass destruction that emerged in the 20th century, usually the atomic bomb or poison gas come to mind. But when you tally up the deaths from the world’s wars over the past hundred years, the simple fact is that atomic and chemical weapons created only a handful of casualties compared to more conventional means, such as disease o... more »

Why Coronavirus Is an Opportunity to Transform the Global Food Trade

Rhonda Ferguson at The National Interest - 23 hours ago
*Rhonda Ferguson* *Security, World* [image: Reuters] Now, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the fragility of the globalized system of trade in food is apparent again. For the second time this century, the interdependence of the global food supply is in sharp focus. In the first instance, the economic crisis of 2008 created high food prices and pushed an additional 100 million people toward hunger. For many, though, that crisis neither began nor ended in 2008. Now, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the fragility of the globalized system of trade in food is apparent again. In addition to con... more »

How Did the U.S. Navy Lose Its Last War Zeppelin?

*Warfare History Network* *History, Americas* [image: USS Macon (ZRS-5) Flying over New York Harbor, circa Summer 1933. U.S. Naval Historical Center Photograph.] The 785-foot-long dirigible USS Macon was the pride of the Navy’s Lighter Than Air Program in the late 1920s and early 1930s. It is sometimes difficult to understand just how immature aviation was in the 1920s and 1930s. Everything about flying was new. Planes sported two sets of canvas-covered wings, had limited navigational ability, and had significantly less ocean-going range than a traditional destroyer. After thei... more »
