  We assume too much
Posted by: Leftiris - 05-07-2024, 04:23 PM - Forum: Rant - Replies (4)

This is something we all do, but it seems as time goes on we are living in a world where we assume way too much.

I see this in our discussions on social media all the time. Two people talking, one says something the other doesn't agree with, and so the assumption battle begins. And so many times, just because two people have a different opinion on something they automatically assume the other is crazy, or stupid, or whatever. Are we all doctors? Psychics? Why do we think we are qualified to judge another human being so quickly and harshly, simply because they believe in something you don't? This is not intelligence. There's a 99.9% chance you're wrong in your assumption, and yet I will see people fight to the death that theyre right, when in fact they are dead wrong.

Im sure you've all had someone, if not many many people assume things about you that were way off. I certainly have. And it's always so concerning how wrong people can be, and yet be so convinced they know what they're talking about.

But they're wrong. And these same people will go around telling other people this assumption.....and then they'll believe it. Some times for life!

I cannot even begin to write out the words that can describe how idiotic we all can actually be.


I know I've done it, and am guilty here.


We need to stop. We're just not as smart as we think we are.

If we were.....none of us would be in the mess we are all in.

We really need to stop assuming so much. It does not exude intelligence.

That it is all. Carry on. Beer

  VPNs haven't been useful since 2002
Posted by: Maxmars - 05-07-2024, 03:52 PM - Forum: Propaganda Mill - Replies (24)

I offer this under the heading "Mildly paranoid, but still real."

As it is reported, ever since about 2002 a vulnerability, referred to as "TunnelVision" existed within all VPN traffic which has not yet been directly addressed, and until now, not spoken of...  Why not? I don't know.

From ArsTechnica: Novel attack against virtually all VPN apps neuters their entire purpose
Subtitled: TunnelVision vulnerability has existed since 2002 and may already be known to attackers.

I resent the term "novel" for a number of reasons. First this means that for over 20 years, everyone who thought themselves protecting their privacy was NEVER a reality.  Second, the report "hints" that the vulnerability may be known to malicious actors... which leads me, at least, to presume that they "know" and "have known" - along with the very architects of DHCP protocols who inexplicably created the protocol which allows all VPN traffic to be redirected to whatever address they wish, unencrypted.  Stop right there... we can't be certain that this was an intentionally implemented design feature for the benefit of "someone somewhere"... (there, I have theoretically protected "the man.")
 


Researchers have devised an attack against nearly all virtual private network applications that forces them to send and receive some or all traffic outside of the encrypted tunnel designed to protect it from snooping or tampering.

TunnelVision, as the researchers have named their attack, largely negates the entire purpose and selling point of VPNs, which is to encapsulate incoming and outgoing Internet traffic in an encrypted tunnel and to cloak the user’s IP address. The researchers believe it affects all VPN applications when they’re connected to a hostile network and that there are no ways to prevent such attacks except when the user's VPN runs on Linux or Android. They also said their attack technique may have been possible since 2002 and may already have been discovered and used in the wild since then.



It's an odd technical way to completely erase the functionality of the 'service' that so many have spent many millions on over the years... their 'peace of mind' has apparently only a notional value of "appearance."
 

The attack works by manipulating the DHCP server that allocates IP addresses to devices trying to connect to the local network. A setting known as option 121 allows the DHCP server to override default routing rules that send VPN traffic through a local IP address that initiates the encrypted tunnel. By using option 121 to route VPN traffic through the DHCP server, the attack diverts the data to the DHCP server itself.


Leviathan Security researchers mention in their work that ...
 

Pushing a route also means that the network traffic will be sent over the same interface as the DHCP server instead of the virtual network interface. This is intended functionality that isn’t clearly stated in the RFC. Therefore, for the routes we push, it is never encrypted by the VPN’s virtual interface but instead transmitted by the network interface that is talking to the DHCP server. As an attacker, we can select which IP addresses go over the tunnel and which addresses go over the network interface talking to our DHCP server.

[bolding is mine]

Here's a video explaining the vulnerability...

  Mysterious blobs inside Earth triggered plate tectonics
Posted by: putnam6 - 05-07-2024, 08:52 AM - Forum: Fragile Earth - No Replies

If this theory is true wouldn't it make life as we know it on Earth extremely rare throughout the universe and galaxies beyond?
If plate tectonics require planetary-sized collisions, wouldn't it require more than orbiting in a Goldilocks zone to establish our kind of life?


Mysterious blobs inside Earth triggered plate tectonics

https://www.washingtonpost.com/science/2...tectonics/

Quote:Some 4.5 billion years ago, a Mars-sized object smashed into the nascent Earth, spinning off our moon. Now a team of scientists proposes this giant impact did even more: The collision left behind mysterious blobs within Earth’s interior that may have helped kick off plate tectonics — the geologic process that fuels earthquakes, volcanoes and generally allows life to exist on our planet.
The idea, fleshed out with computer modeling in a new study in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, is an attempt to answer one of the most fundamental questions about our home world.
We live on the only planet known to have a surface made up of rocky plates that slide around and crash into each other at boundary zones as the superhot interior churns. This subterranean drama usually goes unnoticed on human time scales, except when an earthquake strikes or a volcano erupts. But most experts agree this process is absolutely essential to life as we know it because it helps the planet cycle carbon, which is important to keeping the climate habitable.
What experts don’t agree on is how plate tectonics started.

 
One theory — published in the journal Nature last year — offers an explanation, but also raises a few eyebrows. It suggests that after the moon-forming object slammed into our planet, bits of it ended up intact in Earth’s interior.
The new paper takes this idea a step further: Around 200 million years after the impact, these submerged blobs could have helped create hot plumes inside Earth that disrupted the nascent surface, breaching the crust and allowing circular slabs to sink — a process called subduction.
This process, the authors say, could explain why the oldest minerals on Earth are zircon crystals that appear to have undergone subduction more than 4 billion years ago. What’s more, they suggest it might have contributed to the rise of modern plate tectonics.

  'The real action is in the reaction'.
Posted by: Karl12 - 05-07-2024, 02:40 AM - Forum: Social Issues & Civil Unrest - Replies (6)

Realize the majority of folks on these boards will already be well aware of concepts like 'Hegelian Dialectic' and 'pressure from above and below' but suppose it's always nice to be reminded now and again.

Apparently 'the real action is in the reaction' and although the vid below is quite an old one did think it sounded insanely relevant these days.







Quote:Management by crisis:

The first step (thesis) is to create a problem.

The second step (antithesis) is to generate opposition to the problem (fear, panic and hysteria).

The third step (synthesis) is to offer the solution to the problem created by step one: A change which would have been impossible to impose upon the people without the proper psychological conditioning achieved in stages one and two.

The one below about 'regime change' and well funded, non governmental foundations sponsoring activist groups, agitators and agent provocateurs to create massive civil unrest also sounded rather familiar.

  DEW attack in Canneto di Caronia?
Posted by: Karl12 - 05-07-2024, 12:25 AM - Forum: General Conspiracies - Replies (49)

Given all the recent hullabaloo about claims of 'directed energy weapon' was put in mind of this series of anomalies a few years ago in the Sicilian seaside village of Canneto di Caronia.

After a spate of over 300 unexplained fires at the end of 2003 (spontaneous combustion of electrical goods, beds, sofas etc.) the National Government deployed an investigative task force who evacuated the residents and then began constant 24 hour monitoring with specialist equipment.

In the vid below the head of the team Francesco Venerando explains how they discovered that USB drives and computers were malfunctioning; cars were locking and unlocking on their own and that compasses didn't work (wherever you put them).

The team also discovered massive, repeated pulses of electromagnetic energy (which they concluded they were not caused by natural events) and speculated that the intense EM bursts were responsible for generating the fires and perhaps part of some kind of secret military experiment.

Just as the team's data was suggesting the origin of these bursts were coming from off the coast 'in the ocean' their investigation was abruptly shut down by the Italian Government.



• Lead Investigator Francesco Venerando:

Video:



Quote:Locals blamed supernatural causes for the many unexplained fires in their small village, however after further investigation secret military experiments could be the cause of all the strange occurrences.




• Photos / Claims of arson:

Video:

https://youtu.be/lN6A-bSZ_bc





Previous 2008 research by Internos:


• Since January 2004, something of very strange is happening to Canneto di Caronia, a small town located in Sicily, Italy. Here's a quick list of the unexplained phenomena occurred so far in Canneto di Caronia: all stuff witnessed, reported, observed, caught on camera etc..

List:

Quote:UFO sightings


TV, refrigerators, washing machines, mixers etc. that switch on by themselves.


Cell phones charging their batteries spontaneously, even when unplugged.


Boats, Cables, beds, sofas, chairs, cookers, vacuum cleaner, TV, refrigerators, washing machines, cables catching fire spontaneously, even when unplugged.


Air conditioners literally melting spontaneously


Car glasses imploding


Car glasses found with small, perfectly rounded holes, as being hit by some invisible bullets


Aubergines coloured like rainbows


Plants burst into flames selectively, on a squared area


Unexplained magnetic fields peaks detected


Pen drives getting erased spontaneously


Compasses … loosing their orientation


Automatic gates opening and closing randomly


Car alarms ringing with no reason, and randomly


Mysterious death of animals, both from ground and sea.




Could be nothing but turns out that the U.S. Naval 6th Fleet regularly performed their exercises in the seas north of Canneto di Caronia and there's an article below which suggests the activity was ongoing up until the summer of 2014.

Powers of between '12 and 15 gigawatts' are being discussed.



Quote:Mysterious Spontaneous Combustions Return to Sicilian City

In 2007, an Italian newspaper published a leaked government report which blamed the fires on “aliens” because they were “caused by high power electromagnetic emissions which were not man-made and reached a power of between 12 and 15 gigawatts.”

And now the spontaneous combustions are back again and increasing in frequency. Starting in late summer 2014, residents reported unexplained fires in furniture, stacks of folded clothes and a car. As a result, the poor citizens of Canneto di Caronia have been evacuated again while firefighters put out blazes and look again for causes.

This time, suggestions include UFOs, a Tesla-type Magnifying Transmitter, ghosts or evil spirits or even a troubled young person who is pyrokinetic. Sicily’s council member for health and safety Vittorio Alfieri thinks the cause is “an entity” that transfers “from one house to another.”

Or something else?

Link





The 15 GW figure is also stated by official lead investigator Francesco Venerando in the first video (around 3:10).

Apparently hundreds of explosive bursts of E.M. energy were discovered each lasting only a fraction of a second.

Any thoughts on this one as it does sound rather unusual to say the least.

Cheers.

  Israel/Hamas Ceasefire framework?
Posted by: Maxmars - 05-06-2024, 07:01 PM - Forum: Current Events - Replies (6)

I almost hesitated to bring this thread, and I'll tell you why:

1) It's easy to "propose" anything,
2) It's easy to 'accept' anything that your adversaries won't or can't,
3) Media producers will say literally "anything" to get your attention,
4) There is little consistent reporting on this matter,
5) No one is saying anything "informational" about the "proposal" other than it exists.

It started with an errant (and since then removed) headline that a 'ceasefire' had been achieved... poor editing.  Then, a flurry of almost identical verbiage appeared across several news outlets... ("approved" news) which only said that third parties had secured a "sound workable" response from someone in HAMAS... (no names.)  

Since then it has simmered down a bit but here is a stereotypical piece from a US News source...

From Fox News: Hamas says they approve framework for cease-fire agreement with Israel
 


Hamas has agreed to a cease-fire agreement framework put forward by Egypt and Qatar, the terrorist group announced in a Monday statement.

The White House and State Department could not confirm the agreement as of press time, but a Hamas spokesperson confirmed it to Fox News Digital. Israel has not announced its stance on the framework. If it is approved, however, it would bring an extended pause to the fighting that has raged in Gaza for seven months.



I resent the needless insertion of granting the "terrorist" group a "spokesperson."  If they ARE a terrorist group are we supposed to care to "negotiate" with them?  Clearly this is a disconnect.  The establishment will not openly accept Hamas as a legitimate body of government (I get it) ... but it continues to honor them as if they were.... disconnect.  Politics... I get it.
 

"The fighter brother Ismail Haniyeh, head of the political bureau of the Hamas movement, had a phone call with the Qatari Prime Minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdul Rahman Al-Thani, and with the Egyptian Minister of Intelligence, Mr. Abbas Kamel, and informed them of the Hamas movement’s approval of their proposal regarding the ceasefire agreement," the Hamas statement reads.


I'm left still waiting... WHAT proposal is it?  Do we get to know?  Is it secret or something?

Assuming that Israel knows little more about this "proposal" than I do... It's no wonder they can't comment or commit on it.

Where is the 'reporting' on this?  Nothing more than a press release that could be little more than propaganda fodder?  Really, is the press that incapable of actually working the story?  Or is that not allowed anymore?

If someone is posting content that is not their own authorship, should they have to disclose it?  Or can they post AI generated walls of text and claim it as their own and not reveal that they aren't the real authors?

  Montana Sheriffs - UFOs And Mutes.
Posted by: Karl12 - 05-06-2024, 01:42 PM - Forum: Aliens & UFOs - Replies (13)

Plenty of very strange UFO statements from police officers over the years and thought this was a pretty fascinating interview with Montana Sheriffs Keith Wolverton and Pete Howard discussing UFOs and mutes.


Video:

Are UFOs Real? Listen to These Montana Sheriffs.





Quote:
 

Quote:• "We hope the information conveyed in this video will inspire others to realize that the UFOs being seen in our skies are real, and they merit our curiosity and our attention."

Interviewers:

Dr. Richard O'Connor, M.D.

Dr. Joan Bird, PhD.



Cigar and disc shaped objects are being described (as well as some extremely strange animal mutilations) and the government cover-up aspect is also brought up as Sheriff Howard relates a very strange UFO incident where radar scrolls were 'confiscated'.

 
Quote:• "The Colonel looked me right in the eye and said 'we don't have a clue, we don't have anything that can fly like that'.. and then it wasn't long after that that a couple of cars of security guys came in and took the radar scrolls."

Montana Sheriff Peter Howard.


Would say if you're interested in UFOs then the full video is well worth a watch and would be interested in any opinions on the content of it.

  Two lifeforms merge in once-in-a-billion-years evolutionary event
Posted by: K218b - 05-06-2024, 12:19 PM - Forum: Science & Technology - Replies (5)

https://newatlas.com/biology/life-merger...organelle/

Quote:Scientists have caught a once-in-a-billion-years evolutionary event in progress, as two lifeforms have merged into one organism that boasts abilities its peers would envy. Last time this happened, Earth got plants.

A species of algae called Braarudosphaera bigelowii was found to have engulfed a cyanobacterium that lets them do something that algae, and plants in general, can’t normally do – "fixing" nitrogen straight from the air, and combining it with other elements to create more useful compounds.

The phenomenon is known as primary endosymbiosis and it happens when a microbial organism engulfs another one providing it with energy, nutrients, protection, and in return it gains a function or functions that it didn't previously have. This is the leading evolutionary theory on how eukaryotic cells have come to exist from prokaryotes.

The first time primary endosymbiosis happened around 2.2 billion years ago it resulted in the creation of mitochondria, the power source of a cell. An archaea (procaryotic cell) permanently enslaved a purple non-suphur bacterium from the class of alpha-protobacteria becoming an integral part (organelle) of the cell.

The second time this happened around 1.6 billion years ago one of these evolved cells captured a photosynthetic bacterium known as cyanobacterium which later became what we now know as a chloroplast, an organelle that plant cells have. Very important for the process of photosynthesis as it happens in chloroplasts.

From the two very rare but extremely important mergers we had the creation of all complex life forms and from the second one the creation of plants.

  The Great Paradox(es)
Posted by: CCoburn - 05-06-2024, 06:13 AM - Forum: Psychology, Philosophy & Metaphysics - Replies (4)

A Paradoxical Fork in the Road


When existence is reduced to a most fundamental extreme there remains two choices unless of course there is a third that for some reason I am not currently privy:

1.  Something from nothing. (absurdity one)

2. Ever-flowing time. (absurdity two)

The first proposition attempts to resolve the problem of infinite regression in the form of a spatiotemporal negation, but is this absolutely necessary? And is it possible that it may just be a periodic/sporadic spatial negation in the presence of never-ending time?

The second proposition hypothesizes that time may not require a beginning from which to progress forward, but that there may exist some unknown eternal anomaly that somehow governs time in a way that transcends conventional logic and reason?

A God anomaly could most certainly be the case in either proposition, but in proposition one there would be an emergence factor constituting a primordial anomaly whereas in proposition two time would be indistinguishable from eternity thus rendering this "eternal anomaly".

Any preferences here or other possibilities unintentionally overlooked?

Apparently these objects are being seen all over the world this past week. I have never seen an object like this before in my life as I have been looking at UFO's since 2018 and uploaded 300+ images and enhanced them. This one clearly delineates a Star Shape. It does have the wispy "ionized" atmosphere surrounding the object as all UFO's have. 

I DON'T believe this is some sort of classified USA space project.  

As you know on and off I have tossed religion into the mix. I am not a zealot but a sign from God? 

Check it out as I am sure many more videos of these things are out there. This one was over California. That is one state that needs its evil Governor to be removed.

  Earth Angels
Posted by: Leftiris - 05-05-2024, 05:09 AM - Forum: Paranormal Studies - Replies (17)

I'd like to switch gears from my first posts and write about the other end of the spectrum. In my travels throught this life I have learned as much about angels as I have demons. What I have found is, angels walk among us.

Most of us reading this believe in the spiritual forces of this world. Most of us have come to the realization that demons and evil spirits walk among us; and are a monumental influence on our lives. We know there are evil and malevolent forces at play here, and it is all around us. 

But, did you know that there are also angels walking among us as well? These are angels who have made a choice to come to earth, be born as humans, live human lives, and do the Lord's work. You could even say these are the Lord's covert op spies, working in the same shadows as the evil is. People you work or go to school with. People who are easily forgotten, and yet can make such a profound difference in a strangers lives. These earth angels will not be highly successful people. They will be hidden right in front of your eyes. They will be servants. Salt of the earth types. Humble people. Here to do a mission. To help mankind progress to the next level. To teach and show love. To balance the darkness with light. 

Often times these are the "black sheep" of a family. People that even seem like "screw ups" to the rest of the world. They are often peculiar and awkward, not quite fitting in, but at the same time able to socialize and rub elbows with anyone. They are able to hide in plain sight, because the world will be looking for someone who is successful and popular and worldly. This is how the Lord is able to hide these angels right before our eyes. Demons are the ones who are "successful and loved by the world." 

This is a sad and hard truth. The world glorifies that which is evil. The dark forces are what rule this particular world, and are a part of everything we see. They rule over everything. But, there are angels working here as well. We just don't recognize them.


There are scriptures to back this claim. This is all a matter of faith. If someone doesn't believe in demons, then they are not going to believe in angels. Even most "Christians" don't consider how much demons and evil spirits are all around us. Much less consider that there are angels, in human form, having a human experience to help mankind along the way. 


The Hindus have a word for it: Bodhisattva.
Pretty much the same thing the Bible quotes. That when giving to the poor, we very well may be entertaining angels.

You very well may have one of these "earth angels" in your family...

Then again, you very well might be an earth angel yourself. They will have no memory of their former selves while in this realm. Only a chosen few figure this out. Either way they are here to help. To love. To help guide the lost (back) to paradise. They are here to serve, and do the Lord's will. 



I never ask or expect people to believe me. I simply plant the seeds. Something for you to ponder.

Thanks, DI.

  The Mandela Effect
Posted by: CCoburn - 05-05-2024, 05:04 AM - Forum: The Gray Area - Replies (66)

The Mandela Effect : fact or fiction?


The Mandela Effect is a phenomenon where various groups of individuals seemingly recall past events, symbols, words, and titles et cetera as documented or transpiring differently than how they are actually recorded in the present day. The title comes from the 'supposed' false memory of many believing that Nelson Mandela died in prison during the 1980s where in fact this is actually contrary to how this information is actually documented in the present day. Nelson Mandela never died in prison, or so 'they' say.

Examples of this phenomenon resonate differently with different individuals, and oddly enough the titled phenomenon is actually an example of one that does not resonate with me as much as some of the others.

And here are a few examples of this phenomenon that actually do resonate with me:

1. Interview With - THE - Vampire. I saw this movie more than once, and I recall the title as being Interview With - A - Vampire.

2. Moonraker. Dolly NEVER had braces in any of the scenes, but I seem to recall a scene with her smiling at Jaws with her 'braces' twinkling in the light.

3. The word dilemma. Many, including myself seem to recall this as being spelled dilemna, and I have no idea why many would have recollection of such an oddly spelled word.

4. Mr. Rogers' theme: it's a wonderful day in THIS neighborhood. I grew up with this and I recall it as it's a wonderful day in THE neighborhood.

These are just a few and the examples are many, and it's kind of reminiscent of other phenomena such as ghosts, UFO sightings, or any other widely documented paranormal phenomena where there may in fact exist truth but often times mixed together with a plethora of lies, mistaken identity, or any other inadvertent or intentional false reports or claims, but it's like they say, it only takes one truth to prove any phenomenon.

It can also be worthy to note that with this Mandela Effect that many of the changes seem to not make nearly as much sense as the recollected original and in some instances maybe even to the point of borderline laughable.

  Things that go bump in the night
Posted by: Leftiris - 05-04-2024, 01:55 PM - Forum: Paranormal Studies - Replies (3)

I had planned on posting on something else for my second OP, but something interesting kept occurring today and so I thought I would let you all play with it.

I have lived in this house for over 15 years now. Since day one we have had supernatural experiences here in the house. Everything from ghosts walking around to doors flying open, and some slamming shut, to whispers cold spots lights flickering things going missing then reappearing. A bunch of people, including myself have been awoken by something that was very angry and wanted to hurt us bad holding us down. This has not happened to any of us anywhere else but here, and this was way beyond sleep paralysis (for one we could all move. just couldnt get up) and each account was exactly the same. We have all experienced something that cant be explained in this house.

I did a cleansing a while back, and got rid of everything that was here ( i think) and we havent had any occurences in quite some time, nor have we felt any presences here at all.

However, there has been this knock going on lately.

And it's a new thing. Never had this hear, until recently.

And it knocks.

All over the house.

You'll hear it, and go to investigate. The sound will draw you to an area of the house. You'll almost track it down, and 'knock'......all the way at the other end of the house.

It knocks on the roof. It knocks on the walls. It knocks on the outside walls. It knocks from underneath the house. I dont hear it inside. I hear it all over the house. Different places each time. No consistancy. I have tried and tried to track down the source of this knocking, but every single time it turns into this game of, every time I get close it goes to a different section of the house. 


I think, whatever I kicked out, wants back in....


I just grin and chuckle. It drove me crazy for a minute. Then I realized it was just some ghosts little game. Knocking all over the damn house!

Anyone else have any experience with something like this?  It's a trip.

  Evidence Man Never Landed On The Moon - Documentary
Posted by: Nerb - 05-04-2024, 01:29 PM - Forum: Space - Replies (42)

Here is a superb documentary covering so many of the conspiracies regarding the (apparent) Moon Landings.

Many questions are asked and scrutinised with evidence from many different sources covering so many of the traditional conspiracies and then some. It's a long one at 3 hours 34 minutes but very well worth the time for those serious about understanding truth and taking in the evidence to find it.

I'm sure some folks here have a theory or two and perhaps they will be focused on in the documentary subject matter and perhaps you will also, like me, have a whole bunch more theories afterwards to put to those who still believe Man actually did walk on the Moon. I think modern technology and evolved critical thinking are finally catching up to the old technology and spoonfed information that never got scrutinised too much at the time in favour of the amazing news of the event.

A very thorough and professional documentary to watch. Enjoy.

  International sactions against Russia failing
Posted by: xpert11 - 05-04-2024, 07:55 AM - Forum: War In Ukraine - Replies (4)

"Russia’s economy grew by 3.6 per cent in 2023 and is projected to expand by over 3 per cent in 2024."

Much of this success relies on the expansion of the military-industrial complex. Russia has bolstered fiscal revenues and used them to stimulate the domestic economy. Export controls have not yet resulted in decisive choke points or disruptions in supply chains.

https://twitter.com/ElbridgeColby/status...5043038349

[Quotes from the source article appear in that Twitter thread.]

An argument existed for placing international sanctions against Russian energy exports. However, that project was feasible over a ten-year timeline and was not a direct measure to end Russia's war in Ukraine.

The war in Ukraine will be decided on battlefields, with logistics and ending the patterns of static land warfare and limited counterattacks. Returning to battlefield mobility and breaking the back of enemy forces is yet to occur. Granted, a Lend-Lease arrangement would have been confined to supplying equipment and not restoring manoeuvre. 

The international policymakers whose religious type belief in sanctions replaced material aid to Ukraine are outright fools. The U.S. never leveraged their commitment to supply Australia with nuclear-powered submarines against that country supplying more than token assistance to Ukraine.

Another issue is the U.S.-led sanctions regime and limited aid to Ukraine are in a policy vacuum. I don't think there is a "good outcome" from the war in Ukraine. The defeat of Russian forces in Ukraine might trigger unintended consequences. A second Russian Civil War or extreme Russian political instability would be disastrous.

Alternately, Russia returns to launch another onslaught against Ukraine after 6 - 10 years.

However, a peace deal involving Ukraine ceding territory to Russia invites further trouble. Russia would be emboldened to resume its war against NATO or make a move against the Baltic States, which are NATO members.

Moreover, none of those matters appear to influence the International community's approach to Ukraine. Threading the needle to argue for the destruction of Russian forces in Ukraine while reducing the risk of future wars would have been extremely tough but a step forward for policymakers.

It's a good car and fun to drive at 354lbs of torque, and I drive it a lot. Been exploring the backroads of Maine a lot for the past few years, and kind of took up backyard mechanic along with the driving as a hobby.

Been having a lot of mishaps lately though. Ignored the scheduled spark plug change and had one fail and fried an ignition coil and it took two separate tows from AAA to get the car home. Replaced one ignition coil and all six plugs side gapped to .037 and all was good again - maybe even better.

Went out this afternoon for a ride and on my way back the TPMS lit up and I got out and saw that the front left tire was losing air. I carry a bicycle pump with a gauge with me just for this reason. I was able to get 20lbs in it which lasted for a few miles and I'm about 20 miles from the house.

Stopped at a quick stop and they happened to have a can of Fix-A-Flat and then I was able to get 36lbs in it which lasted for a few more miles. I noticed at this point that there was a puncture on the inner wall. Tried to get some more air in it and went for a couple more miles but the tire was getting chewed up pretty close to the rim so I had to stop and call AAA with about six more miles to go.

This is my third flat tire in the past year. The protocol lately is to take the wheel to Town Fair Tire for a remount and balance it myself with a bubble balancer I bought at Harbor Freight. Most places don't do a good job balancing so I started doing it myself.

  Opinion: California drought manmade intentionally
Posted by: Maxmars - 05-02-2024, 11:00 PM - Forum: Fragile Earth - Replies (5)

The source for this thread is an opinion piece.  That means that it will pretty much be ignored by most people who aren't interested in opinions.

But the information relayed seems very real and quite worthy of consideration.  Especially since California advocate journalists and activist whine about the climate most, and loudest.

Source The Epoch Times: California’s Perpetual Drought Is Manmade and Intentional
 


...Over several decades, the public has been deceived into voting for water bonds that have little new water in them—phony promises to build new water storage and aqueducts. About 12 percent of bond funds are spent on new water storage. The rest of the bond funds have been squandered on scores of local and special-interest environmental projects, e.g., tearing down four Klamath-area dams—killing fish to save them—and opposing substantial new water projects, e.g., raising Shasta Dam and building Auburn Dam.
Further, by California law, water must be equitably distributed, pumped “equally”—half to human beings (if you count agriculture) and half to fish (the water-short Pacific Ocean, 187 quadrillion gallons). During the big rains of 2024, about 90 percent of the water was flushed to the Pacific through the gills of perhaps a half dozen delta smelt.


Water management for a population on the edge of a desert is crucially important... but not important enough to threaten commerce it would appear.  Damn the citizens, we have profit to make.
 

As I have said before, California wastes tens of billions of dollars’ worth (at a conservative $100–$200 an acre-foot) of precious fresh water to save handfuls of delta smelt and “restore” salmon runs where salmon never ran before.


I thought some might like to backcheck these statements, or at least register them in their internal databases of memory.

  "RATE" system query to consider.
Posted by: Nerb - 05-02-2024, 04:59 PM - Forum: Board Questions & Business - Replies (1)

Just a quickie, but does anyone else think that adding a negative option to the "RATE" system might create the opportunity to misuse it for anyone who becomes disgruntled or maybe have a beef with another member?

It would be possible for someone to give negative ratings to all posts made by a single member or en-masse to lots of members and falsely destroy the positive aspect in profiles that everyone sees. That can't be good, surely.

Even ATS only had a positive application in the star system used there. There was no negative rating possible.

How about the chance to give a positive rating as normal and instead of the opposite, why not the chance to give a raspberry or something not directly related but equally apparent that shows something negative in it's own right.

For me, it makes the whole system seem open to possible misuse or is there an aspect I'm missing? Do "negative" ratings appear alongside the "positive" ones, thus showing the balance between the two or is it as simple as +1 or -1?

Also, these ratings aren't apparent to individual posts yet are they? Just the member's overall reputation details.

I think this maybe needs early consideration or clarification before it gets set in stone long time.

Thoughts?

  The Power and Mystery of the Third Eye
Posted by: Leftiris - 05-02-2024, 12:15 PM - Forum: Psychology, Philosophy & Metaphysics - Replies (5)

This is something I have been studying and learning through experience for quite some time now. If we are to have any type of spiritual experience or journey we must find and walk through the seat of the soul, aka The Third Eye. The third eye is believed to reside in the pineal gland in the middle of the two hemispheres of the brain. The pineal gland is part of the enocrine system. Your pineal gland consists of portions of neurons, neuroglial cells and specialized secreting cells called pinealocytes. The pinealocytes create melatonin and secrete (release) it directly into the cerebrospinal fluid, the fluid that flows in and around the hollow spaces of your brain and spinal cord, which then takes it into your bloodstream.

Since the pineal gland was the last of the endocrine glands to be discovered — and scientists still aren’t fully sure of all of its functions — the pineal gland has long been a “mysterious” organ. The pineal gland was commonly called the “third eye” for many reasons, including its location deep in the center of the brain and its connection to light via the circadian rhythm and melatonin secretion. Many spiritual traditions believe it serves as a connection between the physical and spiritual worlds.

I believe, as well as many others, that even Jesus spoke about the third eye in scriptures.

In the Christian religion there is a Bible verse that states, “The light of the body is the eye; if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light” Matthew 6:22 (10). This verse can be interpreted in many ways, but some believe it to relate to the soul of the third eye. Another example is seen in Ancient Egyptian culture. The Eye of Horus is a sign of prosperity and protection, which has often been referred to as the third eye. The Eye of Horus structure shows a resemblance to the part of the brain that seems to encompass the pineal gland. Ancient Egyptians were one of the first cultures to have many art and medical findings.

I am going to include this video to assist me with this broad topic.


The beginning of any spiritual journey starts with the opening of the third eye. Meditation is a doorway to this. I have also learned the use of frequencies in assisting with meditation and  also the decalcification of the pineal. gland.
The third eye is where all astrolprojection or remote viewing take place. It is where visions and dreams come from. It is the seat of the sub-concious mind and even where psychic abilities come from; or where they get there power from. Once my third eye was opened and I started to explore the spiritual realms things like my sense of intuition were heightened. You can get to a place where you can even read peoples thoughts; if the thought is powerful enough. You start to feel the world around you in a more profound way. Opening our third eye unlocks our minds and sets us free, not only from the chains of the flesh, but the binds that our spirits are currently wrapped in. This body is a prison and we can break free through our minds. We are spiritual beings having a human experience, and once we realize this our souls can move on to the next level of consciousness. 

"The Kingdom of Heaven is Within Us." "If your Eye is clean then your whole body is clean."

This is what that Man was saying to us.

I have learned the use and power of frequency as well in this spiritual journey. There are certain frequencies that assist in the decalsification of the pineal gland. The 963hz frequency is great for the decalcification. 432hz is great for healing and getting your mind and body in tuned with the frequency of the universe. 

Frequency has been a weapon used against us. We can learn to use it to heal and undo some of that damage. This assists us in our spiritual journey as well. Mind. Body. Spirit.


I hope this OP has brought some insight to you about your third eye/pineal gland. May your journey be full of enlightenment as you prosper&grow through your cosmic journey.  Cool

Wonder how many USOs these are going to cause.

They are command and control platforms, and autonomous. 

Makes me think they will be motherships to release other smaller drones like the Air Force has admitted to be working on.

Stunningly beautiful.

  In for a wild ride
Posted by: Leftiris - 05-02-2024, 09:23 AM - Forum: Introductions - Replies (5)

Greetings and salutations to all those who deny ignorance.

I am an old school conspiracy theorist and one who has spent a lifetime searching for truths.

Someone once asked, "What is truth?" 

One of the greatest questions of all time...

I'm here to search for and uncover the truth with people who aren't buying into the bullspit promises of this "New World Order," and all these lies and propaganda we have lived under our entire lives. I'm here to expose the lies and manipulations of evil. In all it's forms. I have studied our enemy, and it's weapons, in depth.

I am a highly spiritual person who has uncovered some of the secrets of the spiritual realm, and plan on sharing some of what I have learned in my search for knowledge, wisdom and truth. I hold a vast knowledge of our spiritual journeys through this particular realm.  I find it important to pass on to others the tools necessary to break free from the chains this world throws on us all, and so I am here.

I am a humble person because i have been humbled. The life I have lived has been a difficult one to say the least. There is a lot that I can understand and empathize with. I know pain and suffering. But, I also know joy and victory. I know what it is like to be blind to the deceptions of evil. I also know what it feels like once your eyes are truly opened.

Spiritual awakening is the key to breaking free from this proverbial "matrix." 

To all those who have taken the "red pill," lets see how deep these rabbit holes go together.

I'm happy to be here and look forward to discussing, sharing and learning with you all.
