I shared a house with one pirate, remember those baby screams...

As corporate law likes the maritime jurisdiction, its a boat that sails this world. Much easier to get away with genocide before the internet age, those stories sill continue hundreds of years on. The idea of raising a family in the carpark/tent city of Gaza is going to have a dark side for a while.

I ain't a spook, but know that feeling. Fighting that fear is where the real trade craft is. Acceptance of our mortality helps. Till then, live a good, strong, moral life, something you can rest in peace in. As best we can.

In understanding pirate rules these days, Vinny Eastwood is one being candid about matters. Its a tough job he has, Got some of that MK, disassociation, perfect possession as he flows with his story telling. Gotta work on a start tag line, but does kinda fit. A dark place to laugh at those jokes.

This thing is bigger that Vinny. For one voice as a lighthouse in the dark, he is kicking goals.

A New Why Files is about to drop in about an hour of me posting this;

Enoch's dire plea sung,
Giants and Watchers heed not,
Floodgates unleash wrath.

Ark sails through chaos,
Survival on mountaintop,
Noah, a rebirth.

Myths weave through the Earth,
CIA veils ancient proof,
Noah, not of Earth.

Alien Abductions in the Book of Enoch and the Search for Noah's Ark

Enoch warned the Giants and the Watchers of the world. Repent or feel God's wrath.

They ignored his warning.

The floodgates of Heaven burst forth and water rushed over the Earth, destroying everything.

The only thing to survive is a single vessel, a huge ship: the Ark.

5 months later, the waters recede and the Ark made ground on a mountaintop. A man named Noah emerged, and civilization began again.

Some version of the Noah's Ark story exists in almost every religion and every culture on Earth.

But did Noah and the Ark really exist?

There's evidence that they did.

So much evidence, that it was classified by the CIA for almost 50 years.

But why classify it? Well, there are two problems with the Noah's Ark story. One, the Ark is much older than anyone thought. And two, the man named Noah? He wasn't a man. At least, not a man from Earth.

This is a topic from the heart, so please bare with me. I lost my husband of 8 years six months ago to stage 4 colon cancer. We had no idea he had cancer, but he was sick, and we thought it was everything but that. His first doctor's visit we were told that if he didn't start Chemo immediately, he would be put on hospice that day. So, of course we agreed that Chemo was his best option and the doctor's seemed to give us hope that though he couldn't be cured his life can be extended.
His first few rounds of Chemo were devastating, but after a few months his numbers seemed to go down or at the least the growth process was still... for the moment. We finally thought that there really was a way for him to live longer, even though he was told 5 years would be his limit, but that it seemed possible.

After about 6 months, his numbers were fluctuating, and we weren't sure what to do. His medication for pain was elevated, but it wasn't to much. About 8-10 months later, he lost his voice, and Chemo was again starting to take a toll, he lost about 60 lbs, he was about 280, and we could really start to see a decline.

Let's jump a bit more, as to not make this to long, and go to the point of why I am making this thread. After about a year and a half in, he was told that the Chemo was no longer working and they gave him 2 more rounds, with 2 types of Chemo, now he had lost about 100 lbs, and about 2 months he was told nothing was working anymore, and he had to go into hospice. At this point he was on about 20 medications including, oxy, morphine (pill), liquid morphine and fentanyl. He no longer ate, only drank Ensure, and slept 80% of the time.

He passed away June 2, and it was a slow agonizing death, he weighed about 120 lbs, and he passed in the hospital, I was right by his side. Now here is the issue I have been having since he passed.

Did we make a mistake in starting Chemo? He would have had months to live, but he wouldn't have died the way that he did. Being a part of this community, we discuss so many things, but knowing Big Pharma is b.s., knowing that people can and are used a guinea pigs, knowing that there are far to many thoughts about death, and what happens afterwards, possibly of course.

He was not a part of what I have come to love about research, so he didn't really know what was going through my head, while watching what he wanted and being torn about what I have learned. I wasn't going to bombard him with info concerning my real thoughts on this, especially because he was also religious, and I am agnostic, what was I supposed to say.

So I will end with this. Knowing what many of us know, even if not believed but are aware of, would your choice if you didn't have one, be directed by what you have learned, shared, and been informed of if the time came? I never really considered it myself, and have written a living will, but many of my choices will I am sure be swayed by what I have learned over the years, and be misunderstood by those who don't subscribe to my thoughts and research.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I thought maybe by asking those in our community their thoughts, that I in fact may see things in a different light.

Peace, NRE

The Case for Sasquatch by Bob Gymlan 

Always enjoy Bob Gymlan's videos
from the video transcript

  I think it is worth taking some time to discuss what we know about primates and see how that supports
or refutes the probability feasibility and possibility of an unverified primate in North America and other parts of the
world.

I'm just kidding, I have the same number and everything.

So, we're back to the good ol fashioned conspiracies, wild, weird, and left of center paranormal over here? I like it, I like it a lot.

I think that's why a lot of my thread starting died out elsewhere..... nothing really got traction or a good discussion without politics.

Super stoked. I'm going to have to start looking through my old drafts of "what could've been" and see what I can put up here for discussion and dissection.

Thanks for the invite, it feels good to be onboard!

Wasn't sure where to put this cryptozoology seemed the best fit

Caves supposedly dug by giant sloths 10,000 years ago in Brazil...

I suppose 10,000 years ago giant sloths were much more active, not saying sloths did some of the digging bu that looks finished off by somebody or something else

I was recommended to check this out by my boss the other day, so I gave it a try and I think I only made it like 15 minutes in (out of a whopping 2 hours 21m) and it gave me the distinct impression the director wanted to give a very Stanley Kubrick kind of feel but with the usual modern trappings of film. The whole premise (gleaned from reading the description on IMDB) basically was a Y2K styled event and just did not seem to come across very well due to a slow start and some disjointed dialog.

Has anyone else watched it further or to completion and found it to improve further in?

Figured I should go ahead and secure my username at least, now to find time to actually post...

Perhaps the single most reason I ended up on ATS, I can remember finding a link and downloading it on my shitty little modem. It took hours one chapter at a time, though I was and still am incredulous by the whole claim, story, or concept. The story the formatting the tone made me search for more information and opinions. Leading me eventually to ATS, looks like they added a lot of new chapters in this revised and updated revision.  

Reads like a schlocky sci-fi/alien story used to love that shit and probably still do...

our story begins

Quote:The following article comes from the ‘TC TECHNICAL CONSULTANT’, Nov.-Dec., 1991 issue:

“The death of a journalist in West Virginia, plus the jailing of an alleged CIA computer consultant in Washington State may be elements of a much wider scandal that could have serious implications…

“What started out as an investigation of an apparent case of pirated software has grown to be a project involving hundreds of journalists all over the world.

“The dead journalist, Joseph Daniel ‘Danny‘ Casolaro was found dead August 10th in a motel room in West Virginia. His wrists were slashed seven times on each wrist and a suicide note was found nearby. The only manuscript of his book, with accompanying notes, WAS MISSING.

“The book, provisionally titled ‘The Octopus‘, was meant to be an explosive expose of misdeeds by the Justice Department under the Reagan administration. Time Magazine also reported that Casolaro’s research centered on gambling and attempted arms deals at the Cabazon reservation near Indio [California].

“Indeed, the scope of Casolaro’s investigation was so large that anyone of a large number of areas of research could have been the trigger for a possible hit.

“While authorities declared his death a suicide, his relatives definitely stated that Casolaro’s mental state was sound, indeed upbeat, after the completion of his book.

Sometimes we need to know what legislation miht be relevant to the topic, its not official source, but its kept up-to-date mostly.

Hope it could be of use.

Its been far to long, hope I can find a new home, its been a while.

Diets do not work.  Neither do diet pills.  Same goes for all those food plans.
Not unless you make changes to the way you eat after you get to goal weight.
Trust me on this.

And all those "fad" fixes.  Wiring your jaw shut.  Stapling your stomach.  How does that help when you were consuming vast numbers of calories and your body got used to that.
Then your body gets used to way fewer calories and goes into starvation mode...and you stop losing weight consuming too few calories.
Yo yo diets, anyone?

These current new stories about celebrities and diet pills just goes to show the rich fall for these get thin quick plans just like us regular folk.

Was watching this earlier and was shocked when it said 1.2 million people per year die in India from respiratory illness from the filthy air.

Literal mountains of garbage.

He claims he got salmonella filming this.

The most feces I've ever seen chillin' in public.

The skull of a colossal sea monster has been extracted from the cliffs of the Jurassic Coast in Dorset, UK.It belongs to a pliosaur, a ferocious marine reptile that terrorised the oceans about 150 million years ago.The 2m-long fossil is one of the most complete specimens of its type ever discovered and is giving new insights into this ancient predator.The skull will be featured in a special David Attenborough programme on BBC One on New Year's Day.

[Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDMIFXW5QB0]


The Pliosaur, with its massive frame and fearsome appearance, reigned supreme in the seas approximately 250 million years ago. This extraordinary creature, belonging to the order Plesiosauria, was a true marvel of evolution. Its name, derived from the Greek words "pleion" meaning "more," and "sauros" meaning "lizard," perfectly captures the essence of this colossal predator.

Imagine a creature that reached lengths of up to 50 feet, sporting a streamlined body and powerful flippers that propelled it gracefully through the water. Its elongated neck, equipped with a set of razor-sharp teeth, struck fear into the hearts of any unfortunate prey that crossed its path.

One of the most striking features of the Pliosaur was its enormous head, housing a set of formidable jaws capable of delivering a bone-crushing bite. With teeth that measured up to a whopping 12 inches in length, this apex predator was more than capable of tearing through flesh and bone, making it a force to be reckoned with.

But what truly sets the Pliosaur apart from its underwater counterparts is its adaptability. With its streamlined body and flipper-like limbs, it was built for speed and agility, allowing it to chase down its prey with astonishing efficiency. Its ability to regulate its buoyancy gave it the freedom to explore various depths of the ocean, making it a truly versatile predator.

In addition to its physical prowess, the Pliosaur possessed a remarkable intelligence. Recent research suggests that this ancient reptile had a complex social structure, with evidence of nurturing behavior and maternal care. Imagine a world where these colossal creatures swam in family groups, protecting their young and working together to secure their next meal. It's a fascinating insight into the social dynamics of an extinct species.

Missiles from rebel-held Yemen miss a ship loaded with jet fuel, is it me or are TPTB just going to wait till the Houthis are actually successful in attacking a ship?

Doesn't one blown-up ship spike oil prices? Is that the goal here, or does TPTB want the attack so they can justify going to war and ridding the Saudis of the thorn in their side? 

https://apnews.com/article/yemen-houthi-...51f096268f

Quote:DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Two missiles fired from territory held by Yemen’s Houthi rebels missed a commercial tanker loaded with Indian-manufactured jet fuel near the key Bab el-Mandeb Strait on Wednesday, a U.S. official said. It is the first time they target an energy shipment heading to the Suez Canal.

An American warship also shot down a suspected Houthi drone flying in its direction during the incident, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence matters. No one was hurt in the attack, the official said.

The assault on the tanker Ardmore Encounter further escalates a campaign by the Iranian-backed rebels targeting ships close to the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, and also widens the international impact of the Israel-Hamas war raging in the Gaza Strip.

The Marshall Islands-flagged tanker was traveling north toward the Suez Canal in the Red Sea, satellite tracking data analyzed by The Associated Press showed. The vessel was on its way from Mangalore, India, and had an armed security crew aboard it, according to data transmitted by the ship. Those guards apparently opened fire to drive off skiffs loaded with men trying to board the vessel, the private intelligence firm Ambrey said.

Hello ladies & gentlemens


I got intel about this place ....   This is  best invention since sliced bread! 

The one moment that kicked me hard


[Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qf_aMyy8aSQ]

Hey, crazy time with this next generation war going on and the information battlescape of public opinion. I like the name of the site. I did not sign up with rogue nation, but can see the importance of such things as the flack from ignorance can take its toll.

Pushing the boundaries against the official narrative can be a dangerous place to be, plenty of examples of what happens when one rocks the boat too hard. Doing nothing is also a risky place as those with an advantage exploit their position. It is a fine line knowing when to hold them, fold them, walk away or run.

Some good voices got silenced with Darko, some long overdue upgrades also happened. The politics of reality is a dark and ugly place at times. As freedom of speech is valued, it does give common sense a chance to find some way out of the mess and find a better way. To hit the ban button due to a different perspective just keeps us all in the dark. It is ok to not agree with another perspective, it opens up a blind side to not even know that perspective exists.

In going through the T&C's, 3 Data mining prohibition looks unrealistic as AI and bots are gaining capability to soak up as much data as they can. Having places like this just might help the algorithm find a clearer picture of reality from all the woke censorship going mainstream? As for personal member details, try and keep them protected. With the internet designed to communicate, don't expect it.

13. Self harm also raises some questions. As a mod I can see that is an easy one to delete, not my problem. As for providing some support when having too many red and black pills, there is some experience around here. Mental health is tricky, especially with some of the topics going around at times. Not a lot of professional psychological support services, some battle hardened veterans in dealing with the head bangers. I don't know, some comments to consider. The rest of the T&C looks good.

The ATS family offered a beacon of hope as it kept topics like 9/11 alive as so many websites caved to the political and economic pressures behind the scenes. Plenty of arguments as families do, sure I will be disagreeing with someone soon.

Some things never change.  One of those things for me, and maybe for many of you, is the ability to make cure and/or clever avatars.
I'm all thumbs, or wrong left brain/right brain situated for artistic endeavor with size limits.  

Therefore, I am here to start a thread where the art-challenged can get a shiny new avatar....
And make the first request.

Can someone here please size this Christmas avatar for me:

Hello all!
Despite my username, I am staring down the barrel of birthday #60 (I was a still youthful 39 yrs old when I joined ATS - it's been a rough 10 years!)

I do a lot more reading than posting these days, and have a deep appreciation for a great many longtime members of ATS, many of whom seem not to be around there much anymore...

I joined Rogue Nation during one of the ATS 'glitches', but I find it a bit overwhelming 'user-wise' so not sure how often I'll 'visit' here -

- But, I am grateful for the opportunity to join the "Deny Ignorance" forum and thank you to KKLOCO from ATS for the link over there, which brought me here.
