A few years ago, a large underwater volcano I'd never heard of, erupted. 
The eruption was so massive that it literally added an extra 10% of water to our atmosphere...



From PhyOrg: New study disputes Hunga Tonga volcano's role in 2023–24 global warm-up

The volcano, Hunga Tonga, is in the South Pacific, Southeast of Fiji, part of the Tonga Islands...

At the time a proportional explosion of climate activists descended upon mainstream and social media... they proclaimed the horrors to befall us... global warming - but even more so - because of the common wisdom that "H2O is a greenhouse gas"...

So effective the climate warning was, that even the perniciously ubiquitous "wiki" features the 'establishment'-sanctioned assertions..., assertions as "fact"...
 

You forced me to make a new thread by  closing the other one.

Yeah obviously the photo as even gayer, yet he still be wearing mascara go watch interviews.

Also what a shit choice for a vp aside from his mascara hillbilly ways.

Klass 'modus operandi':

Quote:Hendry objected strongly to Klass's modus operandi, which Hendry argued was based on suppressed and distorted evidence, unscientific reasoning, ad hominem attacks, smear campaigns, character assassination, scientific bait and switch tactics, and seemingly refusing to evaluate evidence that conflicted with his preconceptions.

Quote:In the history of the study of UFOs, Philip J. Klass takes the title as the leading debunker of the subject. For forty years, his name was practically synonymous with the idea of UFO skepticism. He was regularly cited throughout the mainstream media as an authoritative voice on the subject, and his work helped to stifle acceptance about the reality of UFOs. But Kathleen Marden has investigated the background of Philip Klass and found it to be highly questionable.. Without a doubt, Klass's knowledge of the UFO subject was superficial, but his relentless smear campaigns and personal attacks against leading UFO researchers more than made up for that. To this day, Klass is lionized by the skeptical community, but in fact has left them with a shameful legacy. Kathleen's research on this subject is highlighted in her recent book, Fact, Fiction and Flying Saucers: The Truth Behind the Misinformation, Distortion, and Derision by Debunkers, Government Agencies, and Conspiracy Conmen, which she co-authored with the late Stanton T. Friedman.

The Curious Frog


While at his last niche forum, well on its way to The Lily Land of Defunctdom just like all the others before it, he was made privy to ATS, but guess what? Yup, you guessed it!! There was however mention of a second forum, and the metaphorical frog hopped from the one slowly sinking lily pad to the next.

The 'frog' was just hoppily browsing, and although the layout of the new 'pad' was quite delightful, what really did it for him was the view counters.

Quote:Charles Fort was an early-twentieth-century thinker and writer often credited with "inventing" the supernatural, or the paranormal, by creating a neutral category for anomalous observations, discoveries, and experiences.

Before Charles Fort, anomalies were typically explained away, or else absorbed into pre-existing explanatory frameworks like religion and mythology. Thanks to his efforts, they can now be set aside for further research, even if they're still often ignored in mainstream science.

Last year at this time we were having news reports of cocaine being found at the White house. Since then, there has been no movements as to who it belonged to, nor has there been any words as to who brought it into the White House. Now with Cheatle gone we won't find out anything. I'm going to take us back with links to stories (mostly from Soldier of Fortune via Susan Katz Keating), but first there was this video by Penguin 6;



Then came the stories: (July 12th '23)
EXCLUSIVE: Fingerprints Found on Cocaine Bag at White House, Security Sources Say – Soldier of Fortune Magazine (sofmag.com)

Quote: Officials at the White House know who handled a packet of cocaine that was found inside the Executive Mansion, and have confirmed that finding via fingerprint evidence, according to sources with direct knowledge of the investigation. 
 
“We know who handled it,” one security source said. “We’ve known since last week.”
 
Two sources disclosed the name of the person who is believed to have handled the packet. Soldier of Fortune is withholding the name pending official confirmation.
Agents with the U.S. Secret Service found “suspicious white powder” inside the White House on July 2, prompting an emergency evacuation while tests were performed on the powder. A lab test proved that the white substance was cocaine. 
 
Another test brought back a hit on fingerprints, the security source said.
 
The results came in quickly on the fingerprints because the sample was sent to a unit that gets results within 24 hours. 
 
Soldier of Fortune on Wednesday filed formal Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests with three agencies that are likeliest to know about the fingerprint results. The agencies are the Washington, D.C. Fire and Emergency Medical Services Department; the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia; and the U.S. Secret Service.

Quote: 
Representatives from the Secret Service, meanwhile, will meet on Thursday morning with the House Oversight Committee to discuss the cocaine incident, according to Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi. 
 
The committee chairman, James Comer (R-KY) last week asked Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle to provide “a staff level briefing” on the cocaine issue by July 14.
“The presence of illegal drugs in the White House is unacceptable and a shameful moment in the White House’s history,” Comer wrote in his July 7 letter to Cheatle.
In the letter, Comer did not mention fingerprints.
 
Federal rules regarding FOIA requests gives the agencies until Aug. 1 to respond to the request from Soldier of Fortune.

Quote: Dear Director Cheatle: July 7, 2023 The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the details surrounding the discovery of cocaine in the White House. This alarming development requires the Committee to assess White House security practices and determine whose failures led to an evacuation of the building and finding of the illegal substance. The Committee requests the U.S. Secret Service (USSS) provide additional information.

The presence of illegal drugs in the White House is unacceptable and a shameful moment in the White House’s history. According to a senior law-enforcement official, the cocaine was found in a storage facility that is “routinely used by White House staff and guests to store cell phones.”1 According to reports, USSS agents discovered a suspicious white powder inside the White House, prompting an evacuation of White House staff and personnel.2 The substance has since been confirmed to be cocaine.3

This incident has raised additional concerns with the Committee regarding the level of security maintained at the White House. In order to assist the Committee with its investigation, please provide a staff level briefing on this matter by July 14, 2023. You may contact the Committee at (202) 225-5074 to schedule the briefing.

The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the U.S. House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.

Quote: The investigation is closed, but questions remain. Soldier of Fortune reported last week that according to sources with direct knowledge of the investigation, officials know who touched a packet of cocaine that was found July 2 inside the White House. The Secret Service says there is no proof, and closed the investigation for lack of evidence. In order to clear up the disconnect, we posed several questions via the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to a number of government agencies, including the FBI.
 
The main issue centers on fingerprints.
 
Sources with direct knowledge of the investigation told Soldier of Fortune that a forensic test brought back a positive hit on fingerprints.
The Secret Service said no hit was found, and cited tests by the FBI.
 
“The packaging was subjected to advanced fingerprint and DNA analysis,” the Secret Service said last week in a statement. “Both of these analyses were conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s crime laboratory given their expertise in this area and independence from the investigation.” The FBI crime lab found nothing, according to the Secret Service.
 
But the FBI – which publishes many statements per day, including those regarding cocaine trafficking in the District of Columbia – has not issued an official press release about the cocaine packet. If such a press release exists, I haven’t found it.
 
I have questions for the FBI, and posed them via the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). 

Quote: 
The cocaine packet that was found this month inside the White House was handled by someone in the Biden family orbit – but not the First Son, sources told me.
 
“It wasn’t Hunter,” according to a security contact with direct knowledge of the investigation.

Quote: 
The media scrum since I wrote my initial story has been intense. The response from security contacts has been, too.
 
“They won’t like that you know who brought in the coke,” one said. “Watch your six.” 
 
It wasn’t a threat, but a warning. 

I’ve seen several outlets and commenters around the web discuss how Trump’s shooter was in a BlackRock (BR) commercial - this BR is somehow involved with the attempt on Trump’s life.

I don’t think that BR was involved and the fact the shooter was in a commercial is pure coincidence. Lots of people have been in random videos. My wife randomly ended up in a music video once, for instance. She doesn’t know the artist and they needed someone so there she was.

Point being that the shooter could have ended up in that shoot for all kinds of reasons that are entirely benign.

However, since many on the interwebs have looked to somehow tie BR into it I have to at least explore that angle for a moment.

For it to “make sense” that BR was somehow involved in this plot to shoot Trump, I think the “plan” or “story” would look something like this:

BR decides to do commercials and highlight teachers. Makes sense for their business and gives them a good guy image.

They probably viewed a dozen creatives and finally what you saw in the video was the winner. They found a teacher that fits the narrative and went to the school to shoot the footage.

The marketing creative called for the use of students. Again, like the teacher, they needed students who fit the mold. Some combination of students were identified.

This is where things change.

We know they used real students as the shooter proves that. Some process was deployed to get the students. Some looked the part and since they didn’t have to do much that’s really all thats needed.

If you’re a HS student, you probably want to be “cool” and more visible - being in a commercial could be a feather in your cap. Even if not true, there was likely the interest in being in the commercial exceeded the number of people the commercial needed.

If you’re BR, you likely background check a number of students before putting them in the commercial.

And that is the connection.

All BR had to do was have a member of the “team” join as a “consultant” to “get to know” the students involved. This consultant could be directly connected to who wanted someone recruited. You’ve already don’t a background and probably have some assistance from .gov because you’re looking for students that meet the right criteria to being them in to be used in many ways not by BR but by someone who might want Trump shot.

This would be incredibly easy to add a “contractor” for this purpose under a whole bunch of false pretenses that are very believable.

If BR did a series of commercials like the one that contained the shooter, they could have background information of hundreds of impressionable teenagers.

Once the right student(s) is identified, they can be further tested/screened. How do they behave? If we give them small amounts of information do they talk about it online? Trustworthy? Reliable?

Note: The shooter had a very very small social media presence.

From there the individual gets an unglamorous job that doesn’t have a lot of upward mobility and in the background train and prepare them for this occasion. Brainwash the shooter with “inside information” and threats of action against non-compliance.

A puppet assassin who is not a well known or visible individual and of unnotable repute, if you will.

So, BlackRock’s job was the intake specialist (in this story). To be fair, they have something to lose by having Trump get back in office - never mind all of the institutions connected to BR that rely on BR to facilitate their agendas (at least in part).

That may also mean there’s more like the shooter (or were). It’s a program of sorts.

To sum it up, the radicalization starts by putting someone who is of the right combination of things in a commercial, make them feel special and then turn them into a useful tool as you need them.

And when they fail, eliminate them.

While that’s a logical and somewhat believable story that doesn’t have many theatrics or much hyperbole to it, I still don’t think that’s the case - or really anything like it.

The fact the guy was in a commercial is just a coincidence. Nothing exciting unless you’re a member of upper BR leadership. :)

The Secret Service officials encouraging Donald Trump’s campaign to stop scheduling large outdoor rallies and events

He has had dozens and dozens of campaign events outdoors since 2015 and now they want him to stop because of thier failures in Butler Pa?

Not sure waht the best answer here is but we know DJAT can get huge crowds outdoors I don't think the DNC likes the optics of it all, DJT gets huge crowds let's see if Harris can draw well.

Are we going to build him a bulletproof golf cart, let him ride to the stage, and get in a bulletproof box?

needless to say I am skeptical AH

Quote: The Secret Service is urging Donald Trump’s campaign to avoid scheduling large outdoor rallies and other events with big crowds after the tragic event on July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania. Sources say the Secret Service shared their concerns about large outdoor rallies with Trump’s campaign advisers. Now, Trump’s team is looking for indoor venues like basketball arenas that can hold thousands of people. According to someone close to Trump, the campaign isn’t planning any large outdoor events at the moment. A Trump campaign spokeswoman declined to comment, and a Secret Service spokesman said the agency does not discuss its protective methods.

This has been bugging me for a while now. Here is a side by side of Joe Biden through the years:



Heres another one:



Do you see what I see? How does one’s earlobe completely change? And yet even more:



From this last collage of photos, we can deduce his ear changed from ‘free’ to ‘attached’, sometime between 2017-2019. Yes, we have plastic surgery as an option. However, from what I’m seeing, his ear lobe is larger than before and ‘attached’. Why would they attach an ear lobe during surgery, that doesn’t look anything like his other ear? Now, I do know this is possible to have from birth, as Frank Sinatra had the same opposite ear features. But Biden wasn’t born this way. It changed several years ago. Not to mention, his whole look changed, and I don’t attribute the change to old age. I also think his eyebrow bridge changed from having deep set eyes, to almost no bridge.

Here is a link to ear types:

A heavily loaded B-17 was lucky to cruise at over 180 knots. The German fighters were were speeding along at up to 340 to 452 in a dive depending on the model and year.... so without fighter coverage/escort our massive fleets of bombers were sitting ducks. I had friends who flew the 17s and the B-24s.. None expected to live through the war. 


I also had a friend who flew BF-109s during WW2 who said he tried not to fly through a tight bomber formation as it was mostly suicide

No surprise that Biden dropped out of the race and with Kamala Harris, who is about as useful as a screen door on a submarine leading the democratic ticket, it will be even harder for them to cheat her into office.
 Tulsi Gabbard has a comment or two about Harris; interesting.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/...rops-Biden endorsed his vice president, Kamala D. Harris, to replace him as the Democratic Party’s standard-bearer 

well it had to happen
Its been an unusual few years and just as unusual run up to an election
Guess if they had have stopped Trump, Biden may have had a chance

it was clear Biden wasn’t in charge of the US, makes me wonder who is

My heart from color was born to you, my heart came from the world you knew most.

I really liked the heart you gave my soul. It beat to new tunes every three seconds.

One day time changed and my heart changed colors. You left this world and my heart is now broken!

Today we use ballistic data and high speed imagery to put to be some of the myths and conspiracy theories around the attempted assassination of Donald Trump.

Literary Plaques/Graphics


In one thread we combine literary pieces and music, and this thread combines literary pieces and graphics. I will admit though, I'm likely going to miss the music here, but I suppose I still could work a track in on some of these.

I've done similar before, writing and then stumbling my way around the GIMP interface. The idea resurfaced after a friend was creating these extraordinary images using AI and some text prompts that I was supplying.

I do recall things of the sort hanging on my wall as a kid, and as usual, most of the writing is insane, but not all of it.

It is a long article and very disturbing for those who believe in human rights. I am kinda like Mao in one respect as rights with regards human history seem to be gained/granted by pointy weapons or out of the barrel of a gum.. https://lists.theepochtimes.com/links/E3...M39lHVFZsN

Quote:[Image: https://ecp.yusercontent.com/mail?url=ht...x.vD9Q--~D] =leftDark Anniversary Offers Hope On this day 25 years ago, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) launched the brutal persecution of Falun Gong, a peaceful spiritual discipline that includes meditative exercises and moral guidance centered on the principles of truth, compassion, and tolerance.

With millions illegally detained, hundreds of thousands imprisoned, and more 5,000 documented deaths, the CCP's campaign to eradicate Falun Gong continues to this day. The Chinese regime has been credibly accused of killing practitioners to harvest their organs. Meanwhile, the CCP's repression has extended beyond its own borders, with instances of a sabotage, violence, and intimidation documented across several continents.

But there is a bright side to the sobering anniversary. Falun Gong practitioners around the world have persisted amid the repression and use large-scale global events on July 20 to expose the persecution and the CCP's lies.

Two additional Israeli laws scheduled to come into effect on June 1 will also affect the PA’s financial situation: the Law for Compensation of Victims of Terrorism and the Law to Compensate Victims of Hostilities. Both will entitle victims of terrorist acts to claim compensation from the PA, to be taken from all PA funds over which Israel has control, including tax revenues. Naturally, this legislation could lead to lawsuits against the PA amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars, potentially causing its economic collapse.

https://www.washingtoninstitute.org/poli...orcing-its

The PA has been steadily losing ground ever since. Today, a staggering 87 percent of Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza believe that the PA is corrupt, 78 percent want Abbas to resign, and 62 percent believe that the PA is a liability. This loss of popular legitimacy has had real-life implications. Even before the current war in Gaza, areas of the West Bank were practically ungoverned. The international community, appalled by the PA’s corruption and dealing with competing crises elsewhere, reduced aid. Diplomatically, outside powers continued to treat the PA as the legitimate representative of the Palestinians. But in reality, world leaders have largely given up on it.

Moneys are spent on non-existent entities, and here’s the best example: “salaries and raises were paid to employees of an airline company that no longer exists on the ground.”

https://www.cfr.org/blog/corruption-pale...-authority

Despite a general ban imposed on the entry of Palestinian laborers into Israel following the October 7 Hamas attacks, tens of thousands of permit-carrying workers from the West Bank have been entering Israel on a daily basis, according to a new report.

https://www.timesofisrael.com/amid-osten...el-report/

The mainstream media is raking up another glaring failure by ignoring the situation in the West Bank. If Israel's policies tip over the Palestinian Authority and the fragile security situation, the West Bank will fall into the hands of terrorist organisations.

Nor does economically punishing the West Bank make sense policy-wise. Apart from giving Palestinians a financial incentive to support terrorism, Israel faced a sudden worker shortage.

Israel is strategically digging itself into a deeper hole with fewer escape avenues. Does Israel wish to end the two-state solution by unleashing anarchy in the West Bank? Valid arguments can be made concerning how the two-state solution hasn't been a viable policy option for decades. But there are sounder ways to make that point, furthering the existing security issues in that part of the world.

(Yes...I'm a dork).

This is pretty much what the left leaning liberals have resorted to..."WHATEVER!"...and waving their hand in front of your face.  "WHAT-EVER!!"

"Don't care...whatever!"

"Not listening...whatever!!"

"Really, DUDE...it doesn't matter..WHATEVER!!"

People will willingly throw themselves down a hole, just to trip up the candidate Trump.  They don't even care, if their life is worse...they HATE him THAT much.

Fine!!  Elect the "OTHER" guy...without KILLING his opponent...PLEASE!.  Do it FAIRLY, and do it on you're OWN

Can you imagine, even for ONE moment how some of us "conservatives" feel?????  You almost "celebrated" Trump being shot, AND you were disappointed it wasn't worse.  Can you not see how CRAZY this mentality is???

Anyone who supports this mentality has lost their minds!  I don't even care if it would have been Biden...it's WRONG!!!!!!!!

I want NO candidate to die...and some of you,, don't lie, think the opposite!!  DOOM on you~!~

You know who you are.  DOOM...on YOU!

This morning at 0415am I started getting notifications that the WORLD was melting down.  Hmmmm...too bad...too bad y'all put your "eggs" all in one basket...don'tcha' think?

Most people never see "Falcon" software on their computers, nor should they.  BUT, for those who run this application, it is central to a Windows PC to booting up.  Thus...it cannot be fixed from the inside...it requires a human "touch" for EVERY PC. 

Why?  Well, because CrowdStrike is IN the middle of your OS booting up, and when it gets corrupted...well... you're screwed.

SO...Yeah...they found the problem, and NO....it's NOT a virus...BUT...if your company runs this secretive software, then you are CRIPPLED...until some physical person touches YOUR computer and installs the "fix"  This is NOT easy.  It involves every PC, every machine running windows.  Why?  Because a "restrart" doesn't fix the problem..it requires "SNEAKER-NET"...which is where we ALL started.

Think about this for a moment.  I beg you.

Another media legend has passed today, Lou Dobbs, passed away, he was 78 years old.
