Breaking Development: Arizona Audit Preliminary Report To Be Delivered NEXT WEEK
I am posting this today because it is likely to be very timely. What is extremely clear is that this is also not over. The stage is been set to properly count all ballets legally cast last November. what is described here is a technical process that is impossible to thwart. Q has stated that all ballots were additionally watermarked, but this work is going well beyond all that. At some point, the current military government will have the evidence necessary to reinstate the Trump Administration. Other sources pointed to this happening about now.

Britney Spears and the Age-Old History of Men Policing Women’s Trauma

How Can We Mitigate Wildfires?
We can mitigate it all by ending poverty on a global scale. This provides a necessary labor bank of four hour work shifts every work day that can be ddedicated to forestland grooming. this allows fuel rich forests to be completely mitigated, particularly close by any housing. It does not sound like much, but done right, it also produces twice as much merchantable timber and a steady stream of wood chips eaxily converted now to biochar. Surpluses of both can even be put back into the forest to establish walking paths and growth hot spots.. *How Can We Mitigate Wildfires?* Bil... read more
Three Volcanoes Are Erupting Simultaneously in Alaska
I am not fond of things that can go bang in the northern Hrmisphere. It has caused real problems in the past, but it is also possible that none of thgem were caused by this terribly impressive and scary string of volcanoes. Of course Indonesia has dominated the equator. My point is that the arctic can turn into a mess and Northern europe shut down in terms of agriculture which has already happened three thousand years ago. So this potential bad boy bears watching and tracking. It is the extyreme case for contingency planning. *Three Volcanoes Are Erupting Simultaneously in A... read more

Chet Raymo, "The Ring of Truth"
*"The Ring of Truth"* by Chet Raymo "In Salley Vickers' novel, "Where Three Roads Meet," the shade of Tiresias, the blind seer of the Oedipus myth, visits Sigmund Freud in London during the psychoanalyst's final terrible illness. In a series of conversations, Tiresias retells the story of Oedipus- he who was fated to kill his father and sleep with his mother- a story at the heart of Freud's own theory of the human psyche. At one point in the conversations, as Tiresias and Freud discuss the extent to which our lives are fated, the question of immortality arises. Freud says of Oedipu... read more

America vs. China: Could an Accident Spark a South China Sea Showdown?
*James Holmes* *U.S. Navy, Asia* It's not a trivial or hypothetical question. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Better to think ahead now than improvise later under hothouse conditions.
