Girl discovered a secret hatch and stairs that led to a creepy room

 In the US, the girl was cleaning her closet, which she was going to use as a recording booth. However, there she made an unexpected and chilling discovery.

Julia Henning from Los Angeles has been living in her home for about three years, which she assumed she knew very well. One day, while cleaning, she noticed a hatch in the closet, which the girl raised and saw a wooden staircase leading into the darkness.

This frightened her, and therefore she turned to a medium, who, as she hoped, would help her.

However, the specialist went down only a couple of steps and immediately got back up, because he allegedly could not continue further. The medium also said that he felt something.

“The house is clearly inhabited,” Julia says.

After this discovery, the girl complained of intriguing consequences. In particular, she began to have strange dreams.

Her fears were confirmed by a friend who came to visit and complained of a deterioration in well-being. In addition, sometimes at night her alarm goes off for no apparent reason....<<<Read More>>>...

As renewable energy goes into meltdown in Europe, the UK ramps it up

 Things are not going as well for the Net Zero Zealots in Europe as hoped, proving that no amount of drivel can negate cold hard facts. However, the UK seems hellbent on marching forwards and charging consumers for net zero schemes regardless of the costs.

To go some way to understanding why Net Zero Zealots’ fantasies are just that – fantasies – a paper published yesterday by Net Zero Watch describes the results of a review of the computer code inside NASA’s Model E climate simulation. It shows that, far from being based on basic physics, in many places, the model incorporates crude corrections to make the output look vaguely reasonable. 

 In other words, the world’s climate policies are based on computer simulations of the atmosphere that are thoroughly flawed.

Flawed computer simulations can only result in flawed policies – rubbish in, rubbish out...<<<Read More>>>...

UK report recommends a 50% REDUCTION in emissions by 2030 – green tyranny incoming

 More fear narratives and BS globalist reporting which is based on ZERO evidence. 

Their agenda relies on this utter BS creeping out into the general public arenas. They rely on telling the dumbed down humans what they plan to do next. 

These moronic gullible useless eaters then go along with it, as they know nothing else but slavery and compliance....

++++++++++++++++++

A report from the United Kingdom has recommended a 50 percent reduction in consumption-based greenhouse gas emissions by the year 2030.

The report titled "The Future of Urban Consumption in a 1.5 C World" put forward this recommendation. It was first published in 2019 and re-emphasized four years later. The C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group, the Arup Group and the University of Leeds were the ones responsible for this paper.

The report highlighted the urgency of reducing what it calls "consumption-based emissions," stressing that these must be slashed by at least 50 percent by 2030. It identified food, construction, clothing, vehicles, aviation and electronics as key sectors that require rapid action. To achieve this objective, it outlined limitations on meat and dairy consumption, clothing purchases, and air travel.

A separate study conducted by the three entities zoomed in on how food consumption in the C40 group of cities is also a significant driver of climate change. The said study titled "Addressing Food-Related Consumption-Based Emissions in C40 Cities" was presented at the EAT Forum in the Swedish capital Stockholm.

The study presented at Stockholm claimed that in 2017, food represented 13 percent of the total consumption-based emissions in the world's largest cities. It warned that this could rise by 38 percent by 2050 if no action is done...<<<Read More>>>...

Chromotherapy Guide: What is Color Therapy and How It Heals Your Body

 Chromotherapy, also known as color therapy, colorology or simply cromatherapy, is an alternative method of treatment, which uses the effects colors have on us to alleviate certain conditions. For that reason, it’s also often referred to as color therapy or color light therapy. The treatment utilizes the chi that exist within differently colored lights, crystals, gemstones, and plants to have a positive effect on the individual. The vibrations of each color affect the mood, emotions, and even the physical health of the individual receiving treatment.

 This type of vibration medicine is effective, because color exists as a form of light, which means it’s a variation of electromagnetic energy that can be used to effect changes in a living being. Each color used in chromotherapy has unique healing properties, so each person’s treatment is different. The colors used will depend on what condition they’re seeking to alleviate.

If you have doubts that this type of color therapy works, just look at the effect that the sun has on all of us. Particularly, a lack of sunshine can cause people to experience seasonal affective disorder, or SAD, which leaves the individual feeling lethargic, depressed, or anxious. When color therapy is used in these instances, those depressive symptoms are often reduced or alleviated altogether....<<<Read More>>>...

Common Courtesy

 We often feel that we don’t have the time or energy to extend ourselves to others with the small gestures that make up what we call common courtesy. It sometimes seems that this kind of social awareness belongs to the past. Yet when someone extends this kind of courtesy to us, we always feel touched. Someone who lends a helping hand when we are struggling with our groceries makes an impression because many people just walk right by. Even someone who simply makes the effort to look us in the eye, smile, and greet us properly when entering a room stands out of the crowd. It seems these people carry with them the elegance and grace of another time, and we are always thankful for our contact with them. Common courtesy is a small gesture that makes a big difference.

An essential component of common courtesy is awareness and common sense—looking outside yourself to see when someone needs help or acknowledgment. As a courteous person, you are aware that you are walking into a room full of people or that your waiter has arrived to take your order. Then, awareness leads to action. It is usually quite clear what needs to be done—open the door for the woman holding the baby, move your car up two feet so another person can park behind you, acknowledge your sister’s shy boyfriend with a smile and some conversation, apologize if you bump into someone. A third component is to give courtesy freely, without expecting anything in return. People may not even take notice, much less return the kindness, but you can take heart in the fact that you are creating the kind of world you want to live in....<<<Read More>>>...

Pfizer vaccine batches in the EU were placebos, say scientists

Scientists have uncovered startling evidence that a substantial portion of the batches of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine deployed in the European Union may in fact have consisted of placebos - and that the German regulator knew this and did not subject them to quality-control testing.

The scientists, Dr. Gerald Dyker, Professor of Organic Chemistry at the Ruhr University Bochum, and Dr. Jörg Matysik, Professor of Analytical Chemistry at the University of Leipzig, are part of a group of five German-speaking scientists who have been publicly raising questions about the quality and safety of the BioNTech vaccine (as it is known in Germany) for the last year and a half.

They recently appeared on the Punkt.Preradovic online programme of the German journalist Milena Preradovic to discuss batch variability. Their starting point was the recent Danish study showing enormous variation in the adverse events associated with different batches of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, or BNT162b2 per its scientific codename...<<<Read More>>>...

No emergency coal-fired power to keep lights on this winter thanks to the usual combination of psychopaths who decide it happens and brainless lunatics who make it happen

\\\\\The National Grid Electricity Systems Operator (ESO) has confirmed it will have no coal-fired power as back-up this winter, if needed, to help keep the lights on.

There were five contingency units to call on last winter as the energy market reeled from the impact of Russia’s war in Ukr\aine.

They were warmed up several times and used during March when a cold \snap hurt wind generation.

The ESO had said earlier this month, at the publication of its early winter outlook report, that it remained in talks with EDF and Drax about keeping their coal-fired generation on its standby contracts.

But it said on Wednesday: “At the request of government in March 2023, the ESO has undertaken discussions with the operators of two winter 2022/23 contingency coal plants to establish whether these arrangements could be extended for a further winter.

“These discussions have now concluded. Both operators have confirmed that they will not be able to make their coal units available for a further winter and have begun the decommissioning process.”

That process was down to government policy...<<<Read More>>>...

New wave of COVID-19 infections driven by omicron sub-variants hits China

 WHATEVER! More fear porn to scare the life out of the petrified human sheeples. Those of the human herd who are up to date with their death jabs and still walk around shops wearing masks. They will never wake up to the truth ... 

+++++++++

A new wave of Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) infections, primarily driven by the XBB sub-lineage of the B11529 omicron strain, has hit mainland China. The communist country has been seeing an increase of COVID-positive people since April.

The Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention reported that as of June 11, there were 2,777 severe COVID-19 infections and 164 deaths. It noted that all recorded cases were caused by the XBB sub-lineage of omicron – with the top three strains identified as XBB.1.9, XBB.1.5 and the Arcturus XBB.1.16 variant.

According to the Epoch Times, several doctors in different hospitals were among those who suffered. A physician at the Beijing Anzhen Hospital named Dr. Bai posted on Chinese social media that he had been reinfected with COVID-19. Bai and a director of the hospital he work at, who was suffering severe symptoms, were both infected by their patients.

Meanwhile, a doctor in Heilongjiang province with the pseudonym Li Yu said: "There are a lot of people being reinfected with COVID-19 and hospitalized. Some elderly people died after being infected."...<<<Read More>>>....

Aliens: Extra-Terrestrial or Trans-Dimensional Beings?

 Are aliens extra-terrestrial? Ufologists, contactees and abductees presume that they are. This presumption is based on the theory that alien-astronauts visited the Earth in ancient times to establish off-world colonies and engineer the process of human evolution.

Since the aliens supposedly come from worlds other than our own, or so the theory goes, it follows they must be extra-terrestrial.

However, there is little evidence for believing this. To date, not a single ufologist, contactee or abductee can present credible evidence to support the view that aliens are extra-terrestrial. Evidence of a kind, however, does exist for an alternate theory about the ontological nature of alien entities.

This is the view that aliens are trans-dimensional entities inhabiting the myriad layers of alternate dimensions that interpenetrate the Multiverse, ‘in’ the world as we know it and yet not really ‘of’ the world....<<<Read More>>>...

 

Could AI Point Us to What It Means to be Human?

 Maybe we don’t have so much to worry about?

“LLMs (Large language models) aren't even as smart as dogs, says Meta's AI chief scientist” -- the ZDNET headline.

And according to Meta's AI chief scientist, Yann LeCun, He says:


“LLMs (like ChatGPT) are not truly intelligent because LLMs cannot understand, interact with, or comprehend reality and only rely on language training to produce an output.”

So why have Ais captured our imaginations and begun to frighten us?

I believe it’s because they simulate the intellect – and only the intellect – but we have given the formative mind so much power. As Eckhart Tolle has often pointed out, we identify so strongly with the mind that we have disconnected from many other aspects of being.

LeCun also said not to fear an AI takeover because “there is no correlation between being smart and wanting to take over.”

But who or what is that wants to take over? We can often sense it in our bodies, like when we have a fight or flight experience. There is a survival instinct in us that makes us want to protect ourselves....<<<Read More>>>...

Sixteen years ago, the United Nations was told that chemtrails are bad for agriculture and bad for natural resources

In 2007, Dr. Rosalind Peterson gave a presentation at the United Nations in which she stated that chemtrails form man-made clouds that trap warmth in the atmosphere, exacerbate global warming, contribute to long-term climate change, and affect natural resources and agriculture. Chemtrails are not a “conspiracy theory,” they are fact – they know and they have always known.

Dr. Rosalind Peterson was California President and co-founder of the Agriculture Defense Coalition (“ADC”). The ADC was formed in 2006 to protect agriculture from a wide variety of experimental weather and atmospheric testing programs. Dr. Peterson also founded California Sky Watch in 2002, when she began researching atmospheric testing and weather modification programs. She passed away in 2019.

She was a Keynote Speaker at the United Nations (“UN”) 60th Annual DPI/NGO Conference on Climate Change held on 5-7 September 2007 at the UN Headquarters in New York. The conference was given the title ‘Climate Change: How It Impacts Us All’.

At the Conference, Dr. Peterson spoke about agriculture and the negative impacts of experimental weather modification programs on tree and plant health, increasing UV Radiation, aviation impacts on climate, and other important issues. Afterwards, she also presented her UN PowerPoint Presentation to colleges, universities and interested groups.

“We are in a global drumbeat right at the moment talking about climate change and global warming. One of the things that is affected by climate change is agriculture. But some of what we are seeing is man-made but man-made in a different way than you may guess,” she began.

“Weather modification programmes – experimental ones, done by private companies, done by the United States government, done by states across the United States – are underway. There are more than 50 of them in operation across the United States. All of these impact agriculture because they change the micro-climates needed for agriculture to survive.

“There are programmes around the world – international corporations are modifying our weather all the time. And they’re modifying it in ways that cover thousands and thousands of square miles. Most of it is chemically altered so what happens is that we are putting chemicals – ground-based chemicals that are shot into the air or chemicals coming from aeroplanes – that change or modify our weather....<<<Read More>>>...

Overcome Half-Empty Consciousness

 We are all familiar with the metaphorical story of two people looking at the same glass and one perceiving it as half-full while the other sees it as half-empty. As much as we’ve heard this, it’s still a valuable exercise to really observe our minds and notice whether we are engaged in half-full or half-empty thinking. People will refer to themselves as being of one type or the other as if it was a permanent characteristic, but we are all capable of shifting into a half-full consciousness if we simply make the effort.

When we look at our lives with half-empty consciousness, we perceive a lack and think that the other half of what we want is missing. We are coming from a position of expectation and entitlement. On the other hand, when we look at our lives as half-full, we perceive fullness. It is as if we recognize that our cup could be fully empty and so we are grateful for what we see as bounty — not something we expect or believe we are owed but a gift. In half-full consciousness, we count our blessings. When we look at our lives, we see all the elements that are in place and all the things we do have. This doesn’t necessarily mean we don’t seek more, but we seek from a place of fullness, instead of from a place of lack. This fullness draws positive energy into our lives and often attracts more abundance.

If you would like to begin to make the shift into half-full consciousness, try imagining your life as an empty glass — this is your life without all the people you know, the work you do, your home, or your current state of physical well-being. This is just an empty, open space waiting to be filled. Once you have that feeling of openness in your mind, begin filling it with all the people, things, and places that make up your life. You may be surprised to find your glass overflowing. (Daily OM)

Top 10 reasons “climate change” is a complete HOAX and Ponzi scheme run by the globalists and DC Democrats

 Everyone remembers the first Al Gore world tour promoting fake global warming, talking about how the shorelines of America would all recede as the great glaciers of the world melt and the oceans rise. 

We heard fibs about the ozone layer and trapped greenhouse gases. Even statistics of the hottest years since 1935 made it seem as though every human might be bursting into flames soon if we don't stop all the cows from farting and start car-pooling in the H.O.V. lanes on the highways. 

Once everyone realized the sun isn't getting hotter, and the world's ice isn't melting, Al Gore and his conspiracy theory cohorts changed the name to "climate change," so that every hurricane, tornado, and weather "event" could be blamed on those pesky gas-guzzling, hamburger-chomping humans (taxpayers the globalists want to rob)....<<<Read More>>>...

Legal challenges that could open the Covid vaccine floodgates

 As the accretion of legal safeguards built up over centuries to protect the governed from abuses of power has been eroded by legislation, and finally overridden by capricious declarations of ‘emergency’, it requires creative lawyers to pierce the cage of interlocking pseudo-legal stratagems put in place to prevent any accountability and reckoning.

As we know, regulators and manufacturers of ‘vaccines’ have been shielded from liability for death or injury from these experimental drugs unless they were aware of the damage that might foreseeably be caused by them, which would constitute wilful misconduct. Proving this is the challenge.

Three first-of-a-kind cases in Switzerland, the US and Germany are attempting to do precisely that, and if successful, could trigger a cascade of similar cases.

The Swiss case is a criminal complaint against the country’s regulator of medicines, Swissmedic, filed in July 2022 by Philipp Kruse, co-president of the Swiss Bar Association, on behalf of a group of plaintiffs.

The complaint alleges that Swissmedic repeatedly violated its due diligence obligations under therapeutic product law because...<<<Read More>>>...

Metallic spherules are discovered on the ocean floor by Avi Loeb’s expedition

Experts continue to search for evidence of the existence of extraterrestrial life. Harvard scientist Avi Loeb, who is leading an expedition to search for interstellar remains, has announced the discovery of tiny metal balls at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean associated with the first recognized interstellar meteorite IM1.

The IM1 meteorite that exploded over Papua New Guinea in 2014 was the precursor to the sensational Oumuamua meteorite discovered in 2017. However, Loeb and his team suggest that IM1 may have a different origin.

Their theory is that these objects may be the result of an artificial construct from a highly advanced alien civilization. The main goal of scientists is to collect enough meteorite fragments to confirm or disprove this hypothesis.

As a result of recent research, Loeb’s team found traces of small metal wires on the ocean floor. However, the most exciting thing about this discovery is the discovery of tiny metal balls.

Using an X-ray fluorescence analyzer, the scientists were able to determine that these balls were composed mainly of iron with magnesium and titanium added, but did not contain nickel. According to Loeb, this composition is “anomalous” compared to human-made alloys....<<<Read More>>>...

We have less than two years before AI becomes a security problem we can no longer control, MP says

Writing in The House last week, Member of Parliament for Bournemouth East Tobias Ellwood said:

“When an AI-controlled unmanned aerial vehicle ‘killed’ its human handler in a simulated test, eliminating the operator for daring to interfere with its mission objectives, we should worry.

“But when security minister Tom Tugendhat (a rare round peg in a round hole) warns us that AI is moving too fast for even the ‘finest clerks’ in Parliament to regulate – Westminster, we have a problem.”

We have less than two years before AI becomes a security problem we can no longer control, Mr. Ellwood said. AI is the ultimate force multiplier with a capacity to totally reshape the rules of war.

What happens if private corporations and governments designing and controlling AI use it, not for wars between nations or to defend innocent citizens, but instead against defenceless citizens to advance a global agenda?

We agree with Mr. Ellwood when he said: “by any measure our world is becoming more dangerous not less” – although possibly not entirely for the same reasons. As for the drones, perhaps it is time for citizens to become handy with a slingshot....<<<Read More>>>...

Wearing skirts, sunglasses or boots could land drivers with a £5k fine

 Wearing skirts, sunglasses or boots behind the steering wheel could land drivers with fines of up to £5,000, say motoring experts.

The items are among seven the experts identified as common clothes or accessories many of us wear while driving that could actually be putting us at risk of breaking the law, getting points on our licence and a hefty fine.

You could find yourself with a £100 on-the-spot fine and three penalty points for careless driving if you wear inappropriate clothing that restricts you from manoeuvring correctly

If the incident goes to court, the penalty could go up to a £5,000 fine, nine penalty points and even a driving ban.

No, carbon dioxide is NOT a pollutant and it DOESN’T control the planet’s temperatures

 The Light, an "uncensored truth" magazine based out of the United Kingdom, published a powerful exposé this month all about the alleged climate crisis, which its editors say does not exist.

Entitled "No climate crisis: carbon dioxide has zero effect on temperatures," the piece blows to bits the myth that carbon dioxide, a natural substance that all plants need in order to produce oxygen so we can breathe, has absolutely nothing to do with planetary temperatures.

Using two graphs and less than 300 words, the front-page story demolishes the climate hoax, exposing it as a sinister tool for stripping humans of their basic freedoms, including the right to work, travel and access public places.

Under the guise of promoting "ecological responsibility," the globalists and their roving bands of climate fanatics aim to shift the world away from freedom and tradition into the tyrannical hands of corporate greed and control.

"The climate hoax is an attack on farming and food production – documentaries bemoan the methane production of cows, while the growth and transportation of soya beans destroys rainforests and requires an immense amount of water," the article states.

Exceptional volumes of sea ice are a headache for climate alarmists

While corporate media reports that it’s too late to save Arctic Sea ice, it seems the Arctic has other plans. Greenland’s snow and ice gains are proving exceptional and cherry farmers in British Columbia, Canada, are warning record low temperatures could reduce their yields.

As recently as three weeks ago, The Guardian and The New York Times reported ‘Too late now to save Arctic summer ice, climate scientists find – Climate crisis’ and ‘A Summer Without Arctic Sea Ice Could Come a Decade Sooner Than Expected’ respectively. Both articles report on a paper published in Nature Communications which used data from 1979-2019 to “demonstrate the importance of planning for and adapting to a seasonally ice-free Arctic in the near future” due to a future of “ice-free Arctic in September.”

Spiritual father of trans movement Dr John Money, his twisted experiment in the 1960s – and the tragic deaths of the twin boys whose lives were ruined: How his harrowing true story is a cautionary tale for our times

 On May 4, 2004, David Reimer drove to a supermarket car park and, still sitting in the car, pulled out a shotgun and killed himself.

At 38, he ended a life that had been so full of pain and anguish that some who knew him were only surprised he had battled on for so long.

From when he was only a few months old until into his teenage years, David had been subjected to a perverse, cruel and disastrously misguided experiment by a celebrated sex psychologist who was determined to show the world that he could transform a boy into a girl.

The academic concerned — John Money — is often hailed as the spiritual father of today’s trans movement. His research underpins the central claim we hear so often nowadays: that while biological sex may be innate, ‘gender identity’ — a term that Money helped to popularise, along with coining the term ‘sexual orientation’ — is ‘socially constructed’.

From this stems the great modern progressive dogma: that sex is irrelevant and what truly matters is which gender a person ‘feels’ they are....<<<Read More>>>....

Cover-up? U.S. Navy says it detected Titan sub implosion DAYS ago

 Secret underwater microphones designed to detect enemy submarines were the first to detect the Titan tragedy. And they did so days ago just hours after the submersible began its voyage, pointing to a coverup.

The United States Navy began listening for the Titan almost immediately after the sub lost communications with its support ship, according to a U.S. defense official. Not long after that, the U.S. microphone system picked up what was thought to be the sound of an implosion near the debris site.

Following the detection, officials reported the findings to the commander on site, which was later suspected to be the sound of the OceanGate Expeditions vessel being destroyed.

"The U.S. Navy conducted an analysis of acoustic data and detected an anomaly consistent with an implosion or explosion in the general vicinity of where the Titan submersible was operating when communications were lost," a senior U.S. Navy official told The Wall Street Journal in a statement.

"While not definitive, this information was immediately shared with the Incident Commander to assist with the ongoing search and rescue mission."

Two witnesses tell Nicola Bulley's inquest they 'heard a scream' at the time the mother-of-two was last seen - as experts rule out third party attack and say ice-cold water could have killed her in seconds

 Deception Warning! Cover up. Bollocks. Lies. No way did she fall into the water and die immediately of the freezing cold water. Having been there and seen the bank she is supposed to have fallen into, and the non-flowing water she is claimed to have fallen into. This is a huge distraction. Lies, lies and more lies!!

+++++++++++++++++

A scream like someone gasping in shock was heard by two witnesses when mother-of-two Nicola Bulley is feared to have slipped to her death, an inquest heard today.

Both tennis coach Veronica Claesen and nurse Helen O’Neill told Preston's County Hall the noise rang out from the banks of the River Wyre just after 9.30am.

The inquest heard this morning the icy water in January this year when the tragedy happened could have killed Ms Bulley in just 25 seconds when she fell in and drowned.

This afternoon Ms Claesen said she had heard 'a very short scream', adding: ‘My immediate thought was someone having a bit of fun at the back of the graveyard'.

She described it as sounding like ‘an element of surprise’, clarifying that it was ‘an inhale scream and not an exhale scream’ and giving a gasp in demonstration.

Ms O’Neill, who had been having breakfast when she heard it, had mistakenly put it down to girls playing.

She said: ‘It wasn’t an alarming noise. It was over in a couple of seconds.’

Professor Michael Tipton, a world-leading expert on the effects of falling into cold water, gave evidence about how a typical response to plunging into a river where the temperature was 10C or below was to 'gasp' and inhale one or two litres of water.

Commenting on Ms Bulley's build and the heavy outdoor clothing she was wearing on the day she went missing, he said: 'It would only take one or two breaths to cross the lethal dose for drowning.' Someone in that situation would have around 25 seconds before they lost consciousness, he said, experiencing 'very rapid incapacitation'. Police diver Matthew Thackray said photographs shown to the hearing of the riverbank above which Ms Bulley was last seen showed there was a steep 'cliff edge' into the water where she fell....<<<Read More>>>....

It wasn’t “bird flu” that killed wild birds in Europe last spring, it was radiation sickness

 Sounds totally true to me. It fits the globalists sick agenda. They hide their actions behind smoke and mirrors. They have their media weapon spout utter lies that make 'happenings' suit the narrative of their agenda.

++++++++++++++++++

All over the Earth, birds – symbols of freedom and joy – have been disappearing, and unless we stop killing them, they will never more enliven our skies and imaginations.

They are terns, seagulls, avocets, gannets, skuas, guillemots, puffins, oystercatchers, ducks, geese, godwits, pheasants, magpies, sanderlings, storks, cranes, pelicans, herons, swans, loons, sparrows, pigeons, red-winged blackbirds, owls, cormorants, grebes, dunlins, crows, ravens, bald eagles, hawks, falcons, vultures, all of them vanishing from the landscapes of our homes, forests, sea coasts and minds. It rarely makes the news, and a world grown accustomed to ever-dwindling resources and diminishing life has not been paying attention.

The warning of a Silent Spring, sounded sixty years ago like a trumpet’s blare, has shrunken from a year-round emergency to the almost-meaningless ritual of Earth Day, celebrated just once a year.

But last spring, during May and June, the world was awakened to shocking tales and heart-rending photographs of dead seabirds littering their breeding grounds all over the Northern Hemisphere, nowhere so vividly as in the De Petten Nature Reserve on the island of Texel in the Netherlands, where the corpses of Sandwich terns littered the ground as if they had fallen dead out of the sky in mid-flight:

“It is striking: the areas with colonies that were heavily affected by bird flu last year remained vacant this year, including those of Waterdunen (ZL), Wagejot and De Petten on Texel (NH), Griend and De Putten near Camperduin (NH)” – wrote Ruud van Beusekom of BirdLife Netherlands.

Everyone is assuming that the birds nesting successfully this year have acquired immunity from the H5N1 influenza virus. But the areas chosen this year by the birds are lower-radiation areas....<<<Read More>>>....

IMF “working hard” on new global CBDC platform to replace dollar and other national currencies

 Fearmongering narratives to 'prepare' the useless eaters to believe that the global elite are going to be successful in something they no longer are able to undertake. Their control is lost, their influence still exists through their media weaponry.

They want you to believe they will be successful, so their dark intention and black enchantment works and you manifest this future outcome for them.

They have no control or power. They manipulate you to give them your power.

Cease to be fearful of these vermin!

+++++++++++++

 If the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is successful in unleashing a new "global Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC ) platform," as managing director Kristalina Georgieva says the group is currently "working hard" on, then soon the world's entire money supply will be controlled by a "group of unelected bureaucrats."

Right now, the various currencies of the world are, for the most part, already controlled by unelected, private central banking cartels. A new IMF CBDC, however, would unify them all into one cashless cryptocurrency that everyone will be forced to use in order to buy and sell.

"If we are to be successful, CBDCs could not be fragmented national propositions," Georgieva declared at a policy roundtable discussion with Bank Al-Maghrib in Rabat, Morocco about CBDCs.

"To have transactions more efficient and fairer, we need systems that connect countries. In other words, we need interoperability. For this reason, at the IMF we are working hard on the concept of a global CBDC platform to trade and to manage risks."...<<<Read More>>>>

Tryptophan in Interstellar Space: A Clue to Extraterrestrial Life

Having an understanding and acceptance of the flat earth model, and the unlikelihood of space being as they say it is, makes scientific claims like the one in this post difficult to digest.

"Space" is not how they claim it is. We perceive space as an endless ocean of waters above us. What we see as stars above us, is more than likely the effect of different sound frequencies within an endless ocean that surrounds our lands within a sealed firmament. 

For space to be the vacuum as they claim it to be, means it has to be a sealed unit with confining boundaries. As a sealed unit, it is therefore impossible to enter into.

Tryptophan is one of the 20 amino acids that are essential for life on Earth. It is a building block of proteins and a precursor of important molecules such as serotonin and melatonin.

Tryptophan is also rare in the universe, as it is easily destroyed by ultraviolet radiation and cosmic rays. Therefore, finding tryptophan in interstellar space is a remarkable discovery that could have implications for the origin and distribution of life in the galaxy.

A team of researchers led by Susan Iglesias-Groth from the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) in Spain has reported the detection of tryptophan in a molecular cloud complex called Perseus, where stars and planets are formed. The team used data from the Spitzer Space Observatory, a space telescope that operated from 2003 to 2020 and observed the infrared spectrum of the sky.

The researchers focused on a stellar system within Perseus known as IC 348, which is an active star-forming region with hundreds of young stars and protoplanetary disks. They analyzed the infrared spectra of IC 348 and compared them with laboratory measurements of tryptophan....<<<Read More>>>...

Mind, Matter and the Danger of Subjectivism

 It has often been claimed that the material world plays a subordinate role and must take a back seat — behind mind and spirit, or even behind the supernatural world.

However, this move carries dangers since it threatens to steer the gaze inwards a little too much. Thus, Goethe rightly remarked that "Know thyself" is often no good advice: rather, he argued, we urgently need to look into the mirror that other people hold up to us. The trick here is to distinguish between those individuals who are well-disposed toward us and who themselves are far along in their development, and those who are pursuing their own destructive agenda and threaten to draw us into their downward spiral.

No, withdrawing into our own minds is not a solution and quickly leads to irrationality and subjectivism....<<<Read More>>>...

UK MPs must challenge WHO’s power and money grab, APPG says

 At the beginning of last week, the Pandemic Response and Recovery All-Party Parliamentary Group (“APPG”) heard how, if adopted, the World Health Organisation’s (“WHO’s”) proposed Pandemic Treaty and amendments to the International Health Regulations (“IHR”) risk handing the international advisory health body unprecedented powers to declare pandemics, lockdowns and mandate vaccines, with the force of international law.

Speaking to APPG members were Dr. David Bell, a clinical and public health physician with a PhD in population health and former WHO scientific and medical officer, and Professor Garrett Wallace Brown, Chair in Global Health Policy at the University of Leeds and Director of the WHO Collaborative Centre on Health Systems and Health Security...<<<Read More>>>...

Going Deep

 There are times when life urges us to seek more. Small changes may fail to alleviate stagnancy or frustration, and we may need to examine our lives and ourselves more deeply to find the right place to start. Everything we need for success and joy lies within. But so often, life’s debris accumulates, building layers around our core that make it difficult to access the truth that resides there. To reach what we wish to access, we must dive below these layers to the deepest parts of ourselves.

The first layer can be found in our minds. Our to-do lists and busywork are usually less important than we think, so we must look past them to examine the thoughts that matter most to us. The next layer can be found in our hearts, where past hurts and disappointments can sometimes cover up our vulnerabilities, as well as the truth of who and what really stirs the love within us. We can choose to go even deeper, to our center. If we can go beyond anything that has affected us to the point that it blocks us at the gut level, we can reconnect with our power, our raw instincts, our organic yeses. Here, at the core, lies our truth. Our core is our foundation that supports us and what we’d like to build our authentic life upon.

When we examine ourselves to these depths, we are able to find what we wish to bring to the surface and what we wish to let go. When we remember what lies beneath our layers, we can look at what was floating on the surface, causing blocks and pains, and understand the purpose that they served. Oftentimes, it is the built-up debris that causes us to go deeper, so we can search for the truth. Go deep, live life from your truth within, and watch your innate beauty manifest outward....<<<Read More>>>...

Oh – they’re using Fahrenheit again (sounds more scary): ‘New heatwave to roast Britain – charts turn black in 92F blast.’ Wow, oh no. Ahhhh! 15-minute cities, I say

 

Weather maps have turned a radioactive orange and black ahead of the weekend as forecasters anticipate sweltering temperatures above 30C. The Met Office has triggered health alerts for much of the UK and has warned Britons to take care as the scorching heat looms. 

While the agency has predicted that temperatures could crack official heatwave parameters, the uncomfortable highs may not last long.

In its latest update, the forecasters said that central and southern England could become the first regions to experience an official heatwave this year.

Chris Almond, the Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist, said that, after Thursday’s widespread thundery, wet weather, the country would transition to a “more typical weather pattern” over the weekend.

Mr Almond said Saturday would hit the high 20C range, remaining largely pleasant.

Brian Gaze, chief forecaster and founder of The Weather Outlook said temperatures could rise to 28C....<<<Read More>>>...

Technocrats and their politicians lead us down a path to sickness and death

Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook and Instagram parent Meta has now admitted that they incorrectly censored information about the pandemic under pressure from governments. In an interview with podcaster Lex Fridman released on 8 June Zuckerberg said:

Just take some of the stuff around covid earlier in the pandemic where there were real health implications, but there hadn’t been time to fully vet a bunch of the scientific assumptions … And unfortunately, the establishment kind of waffled on a bunch of facts and asked for a bunch of things to be censored that, in retrospect, ended up being more debatable or true.

So how did government departments come to censor social media, deleting factual information and genuine scientific debate? The answer reveals a lot about the ignorance of politicians and the media....<<<Read More>>>...

Against presentism

Who isn't, you say? Hardly any "ism" these days has much of a scholarly following. Yet presentism besets us in two different ways: (1) the tendency to interpret the past in presentist terms; and (2) the shift of general historical interest toward the contemporary period and away from the more distant past. Although the first propensity was implicit in Western historical writing from its beginnings, it took a more problematic turn when the notion of "the modern" began to take root in the 17th century. Over time, modernity became the standard of judgment against which most of the past, even the Western past, could be found wanting. The second trend, the shift of interest toward the contemporary period, clearly has a connection to the invention of modernity, but it did not follow as much in lockstep as might be expected. As late as the end of the 19th century, and in some places even after that, students in history expected to study mainly ancient history and to find therein exemplars for politics in the present. Ten or fifteen years ago, survey courses routinely stopped at World War II. French historians still refer to history in the 16th-18th centuries as histoire moderne; for them "contemporary history" began in 1789, and until recently, it stopped about the time of World War I, the rest of the 20th century being consigned to the province of journalism rather than historical scholarship. I believe that the 20th century should be part of historical scholarship and teaching, of course, but it should not crowd out everything else.

There is a certain irony in the presentism of our current historical understanding: it threatens to put us out of business as historians. If the undergraduates flock to 20th-century courses and even PhD students take degrees mostly in 20th-century topics, then history risks turning into a kind of general social studies subject (as it is in K-12). It becomes the short-term history of various kinds of identity politics defined by present concerns and might therefore be better approached via sociology, political science, or ethnic studies. I'm not arguing that identity politics have no place in historical study; women's history, African American history, Latino history, gay and lesbian history, and the like have all made fundamentally important contributions to our understanding of history. It is hard to imagine American history in this country without some element of national identity in it. And present-day concerns have helped revivify topics, such as imperialism, that needed reconsideration. But history should not just be the study of sameness, based on the search for our individual or collective roots of identity. It should also be about difference. World history, for example, should be significant not only because so many Americans have come from places other than European countries but also because as participants in the world we need to understand people who are hardly like us at all....<<<Read More>>>...

Apple starts to embrace artificial intelligence, installs AI-powered features in iPhones

 Apple is now transforming into an artificial intelligence (AI) company.

For many years, the Cupertino, California-based tech giant has been quiet about AI. In fact, InfoWorld reported that during the Worldwide Developers Conference 2023, Apple CEO Tim Cook managed to talk for over two hours in a global keynote without mentioning AI.

But that is starting to change with AI-powered features and other updates being installed in iPhones. According to an article published in the Atlantic, the AI updates are to be rolled out using an incremental approach.

Apple's much-maligned autocorrect feature is getting upgraded by AI using sophisticated language models. According to reports, this update won't just check against a dictionary but will also be able to consider the context of the word in a sentence. For example, it won't suggest "consolation" when you mean "consolidation," because the technology would know that the words don't mean the same thing.

Another small tweak that would be rolled out will be on the Photos app as announced earlier in June. For example, it will be able to automatically recognize the phone owner's dog the same way it recognizes people who frequently appear in the pictures.

Also, AirPods will be able to adjust to background noise based on the users' listening via "Adaptive Audio." For example, the Apple earpods might automatically lower the volume of your music when you start talking to the barista at a coffee shop and then raise it when you stop. Apple said it will use machine learning to understand your volume preferences in general and optimize your listening experience...<<<Read More>>>...

Actors Are Already Selling Digital Clones of Themselves for $500. Are Stars Next?

 Getting digitally cloned was easier than Devin Finley expected it to be. The voice-over artist, who also works as a model and bar manager, entered a studio in Manhattan last spring and read a script from a teleprompter.

Across the room, a man with a large camera working for Hour One, a Tel Aviv–based video agency specializing in providing clients with lifelike virtual humans, filmed Finley from the waist up. Over Zoom, a director offered instructions about how much to move his hands. He was done in less than an hour.

When Finley first learned that he could license his virtual twin, he had reservations. He was skeptical that a digital double, as the nascent sub-industry calls it, could capture his personality. He also disapproved of A.I.–generated avatars eventually taking jobs from people. Then again, the situation enabled the impossible. “You can be in two places at one time,” he said, and the new income stream meant that “as you get older or you’re on vacation, your avatar is still virtually making money for you,” possibly speaking a language he has never learned, without ever aging beyond 36.

And so Finley accepted an initial payment of $500 and signed a contract giving Hour One a certain number of credits to book his twin in videos used for marketing, product tutorials, online training, employee onboarding, and more. If he was in high demand, Hour One, which lists Nvidia, Microsoft, and DreamWorks among its clients, would buy more credits from him.

“It’s a new technology—either you hate it or you love it,” Finley said. So long as the company kept its promise to keep him out of political, sexual, and malicious content, he was open to loving it....<<<Read More>>>...
