Three News Sites In 5 Minutes Post Biden Halo Photos, Mind Manipulation! World Political News.

I have noticed that world news is constantly posting Biden with a halo photos all over news sites for the past month. At first I thought just a coincidence, but today I notice CNN, Fox News and Reuters all have halo Biden photos pasted on the front pages of their news sites. 

 

This is very similar to the CIA Project MKUltra, which is the code name given to a program of experiments on human subjects that were designed and undertaken by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, some of which were illegal. I am really thinking that the CIA and NSA is involved with the fall of Trump and the rise of Biden. This is clearly a team involvement, meaning many news sites, many social sites all got together to try to not only black ball President Trump and take his power from him, but to also instill a sense of saint hood or angelic qualities about Biden himself. Mind games, mental manipulation, subliminal suggestions, all meant to control the publics perceptions of Trump and Biden. Worst of all...they are winning. The public of the world, not just America is buying it. Its working, but worst of all, it was so easy for the CIA to do. Remember when the CIA had President John F Kennedy killed to get him out of the way and that way the CIA and the USA could stay at war? Yeah...same thing, but different tactics. America is now a Marxist state, democracy as we knew it is gone. 

 

The worst part of it all, I analyzed the photos and they have been manipulated. Biden was cut out, made into a png formate, then pasted on a blurred background of his banner, so that his head was deliberately placed there to make this halo effect. These photos were then put up for sale for use on sites such as Shutterstock, Shutterfly, Adobe, istockphotos, and many other sites which journalists flock to to buy stock photos of Biden. The photos were manipulated! I can 100% confirm that.

Strange FM Radio Signal Discovered Coming from Jupiter's Moon Ganymede

Strange FM signal (Wi-fi) discovered coming from one of Jupiter’s moons Ganymede which is Jupiter’s largest moon.

NASA recently extended the life of two of its planetary discovery missions, including the Juno mission to Jupiter. Now it’s come to light Juno has discovered an FM signal emanating from one of the gas giant’s moons, Ganymede. 

According to NASA, (Never A Straight Answer) the discovery is not an indication of extraterrestrial life, but it is fascinating nonetheless, given it’s the first time it’s been discovered coming from the celestial satellite.

This is a rare report. Its not often we get raw footage of a UFO from Thailand, but this is some great steady video of a black sphere. The sphere is not a perfect sphere but more like two cake bowls put together...and even has a rim around its middle. Such UFOs have been reported worldwide, but usually near power lines. You can really hear the surprise in the peoples voices as they watch this black object and try to figure out what it is. It's a UFO, no doubt about it.

Strange FM signal discovered coming from one of Jupiter's moons

Ganymede is Jupiter’s largest moon

By Chris Ciaccia | Fox News

NASA recently extended the life of two of its planetary discovery missions, including the Juno mission to Jupiter. Now it's come to light Juno has discovered an FM signal emanating from one of the gas giant's moons, Ganymede.

The discovery is not an indication of extraterrestrial life, but it is fascinating nonetheless, given it's the first time it's been discovered coming from the celestial satellite.

"It’s not E.T.," Patrick Wiggins, one of NASA’s ambassadors to Utah, said in comments obtained by ABC 4. "It’s more of a natural function."

• 'CREATURES' IN JUPITER'S CLOUDS? NASA'S JUNO SPACECRAFT CAPTURES IMAGES THAT STUN THE INTERNET

The spacecraft, which launched in 2011, happened to be traveling across Jupiter's polar region at a speed of 111,847 mph when it crossed the radio source, known as a "decametric radio emission," or simply Wi-Fi. It saw the radio emission for only five seconds, but it was enough time to confirm the source.

According to NASA, the decametric radio waves have frequencies between 10 and 40 MHz, but never above 40 MHz. "Electrons spiraling in Jupiter's magnetic field are thought to be the cause of the radio noise we hear," the space agency added.

Scientists have known about radio waves on Jupiter since the mid-1950s, but this is the first time the phenomenon has ever been seen emanating from Ganymede.

The findings were recently published in the scientific journal Geophysical Research Letters.

While notable, this is not the first time scientists have discovered strange occurrences on Ganymede. In 2018, researchers observed "extraordinary" electromagnetic waves, also known as "chorus waves," thanks to the Galileo Probe spacecraft.

Jupiter’s moon Ganymede has long fascinated astronomers—as it is the largest of the planet’s moons. In 2015, NASA's Hubble Space Telescope spotted evidence that Ganymede has an underground ocean.

• OCEAN ON JUPITER'S MOON 'COULD BE HABITABLE,' RESEARCHERS SAY

Juno has made a number of discoveries about Jupiter, including capturing remarkable, never-before-seen images, as well as a "snow-white" oval storm.

The Juno mission launched in 2011 and was scheduled to stop functioning in July 2021 but will now continue until September 2025 or the end of its life, whichever comes first. Not only will Juno continue to observe the gas giant, but it will also look at the planet's rings and its moons, including "close flybys" of Ganymede, Europa and Io. 

Citizen scientist Kevin M. Gill created this image using data from the spacecraft's JunoCam imager.

Europa, the sixth-largest moon in the solar system, is home to an ocean that "could be habitable," researchers have previosly said.

In August 2019, NASA confirmed it would send a mission to Europa to further explore the celestial body.

The catch is that controlling a super-intelligence far beyond human comprehension would require a simulation of that super-intelligence which we can analyse. But if we're unable to comprehend it, it's impossible to create such a simulation.

Rules such as 'cause no harm to humans' can't be set if we don't understand the kind of scenarios that an AI is going to come up with, suggest the authors of the new paper. Once a computer system is working on a level above the scope of our programmers, we can no longer set limits.

"A super-intelligence poses a fundamentally different problem than those typically studied under the banner of 'robot ethics'," write the researchers.

"This is because a superintelligence is multi-faceted, and therefore potentially capable of mobilising a diversity of resources in order to achieve objectives that are potentially incomprehensible to humans, let alone controllable."

Part of the team's reasoning comes from the halting problem put forward by Alan Turing in 1936. The problem centres on knowing whether or not a computer program will reach a conclusion and answer (so it halts), or simply loop forever trying to find one.

As Turing proved through some smart math, while we can know that for some specific programs, it's logically impossible to find a way that will allow us to know that for every potential program that could ever be written. That brings us back to AI, which in a super-intelligent state could feasibly hold every possible computer program in its memory at once.

Any program written to stop AI harming humans and destroying the world, for example, may reach a conclusion (and halt) or not – it's mathematically impossible for us to be absolutely sure either way, which means it's not containable.

"In effect, this makes the containment algorithm unusable," says computer scientist Iyad Rahwan, from the Max-Planck Institute for Human Development in Germany.

The alternative to teaching AI some ethics and telling it not to destroy the world – something which no algorithm can be absolutely certain of doing, the researchers say – is to limit the capabilities of the super-intelligence. It could be cut off from parts of the internet or from certain networks, for example.

image captionElon Musk, chief executive of rocket-maker Space X, also fears artificial intelligence

The new study rejects this idea too, suggesting that it would limit the reach of the artificial intelligence – the argument goes that if we're not going to use it to solve problems beyond the scope of humans, then why create it at all?

If we are going to push ahead with artificial intelligence, we might not even know when a super-intelligence beyond our control arrives, such is its incomprehensibility. That means we need to start asking some serious questions about the directions we're going in.

"A super-intelligent machine that controls the world sounds like science fiction," says computer scientist Manuel Cebrian, from the Max-Planck Institute for Human Development. "But there are already machines that perform certain important tasks independently without programmers fully understanding how they learned it."

"The question therefore arises whether this could at some point become uncontrollable and dangerous for humanity."

• The research has been published in the Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research.

ASTROPHYSICIST SAYS IT’S LIKELY WE CAN TRAVEL THROUGH WORMHOLES

Vatican Secrets: Manuscript reveals humans have supernatural powers

Human beings possess supernatural powers , but are largely ignorant of it. An ancient manuscript reveals it and even reveals the secret .

The divine Matrix is the energy network that connects our entire universe, it is made up of a network of many filaments similar to those present in our brain.

In 1944, Max Planck, the father of quantum theory, stunned the world when he said that there was a place where there was only pure energy, where all things have a beginning and are simply “E”.

According to researcher Gregg Braden , who has been dedicated to this type of study for more than 20 years, recent discoveries highlight the evidence that the Matrix that Planck spoke of really exists and that is the divine Matrix. Planck affirmed that this Matrix has its origin in the stars, in the rocks, in the DNA, and in life and in everything that exists.

Microscopically there is nothing physical, everything is vibration, everything is the effect of condensed energy. We live in a universe full of vibrations and our bodies are and are made up of those vibrations of energy that we constantly emanate.

Planck already approved, through quantum physics, that we are all connected through our own vibration. On the other hand, scientific experiments showed that our DNA changes with the frequency produced by our feelings and emotions, that is, vibrations. This shows us a new way that has the energy to connect with all of creation.

This powerful energy appears to be a tightly woven web that connects all matter and at the same time essentially influences this web of creation through our own vibrations. The experiments found that the highest energy frequencies that exist are those of love, and these impact the environment, they do so in a material way, producing transformations in our DNA and in our closest environment. This has a deep meaning, and it is that we have much more power than we imagine.

We have always heard about that power that we possess, mainly through the Bible, but that information has never passed to the public in a close way so that the same human being creates that power that it has, but has been abolished by the Church, hidden by the Church to make us weaker and more malleable. Everything has changed since they discovered a manuscript of the great code of Isaiah and other Essene texts, such as that of the caverns of Qumran, in the Dead Sea, in the year 1946.

Attributed to the prophet Isaiah, it seems to have been written more than 2,000 years ago, the text describes everything that quantum science began to understand only a few years ago, that is, the existence of many possible futures for each moment of our lives and that the most of the time we choose unconsciously. Each of these futures is in a state of rest, waiting to be awakened with our decisions made in the present.

The Isaiah code accurately describes these possibilities, in language we are now beginning to understand. Isaiah describes the science and from the declaration of the manuscript, with simple and clear examples, Gregg Braden makes reference to us that there was a technology widely used in ancient times, which was dispersed in the fourth century, as a result of that disappearance and of the destruction of the Rare Books or relegated to the mystery school were lost in time.

Now after the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, all the information is reappearing again for humanity. The scientist and researcher speaks of a very simple technology, universally known by the name of prayer. This sentence, applied correctly, would give us the possibility of obtaining extraordinary things in addition to the human imagination that also plays its role. But of course who knows how to use it correctly?

The manuscripts found in the Dead Sea are of considerable importance to sleeping humanity. Nowadays, many live at the mercy of the spiritual forces of the fashionable religions, of the New Age movements, giving the power of their destiny to the hands of any other being, except for themselves. The manuscript that has been discovered explains how we can choose the future that we wish to consciously experience, revealing the keys to our role as creators of our reality.

Among these keys are the instructions of a lost model of prayer, which quantum science attributes the power to heal our own body, bring lasting peace, and prevent great climatic tragedies that humanity could face in a short time.

Gregg Braden says that little by little we are accepting the possibility that there is a new fully accessible energy field and that our DNA is able to communicate with photons through this field. The key to obtaining a result, among the many possibilities already existing, lies in the ability we have to feel that our choice has already been created and is happening at this moment.

Viewing prayer in this way as a feeling leads us to find the quality of thought and emotion that produces such a feeling. From this perspective, our prayer based on our feelings ceases to be something to be obtained and becomes something to accept and the desired result that is already being created.

In the time of the Essenes, words were the strongest and most powerful that we had for that reason, the Church and the powers that be, covered this manuscript, to enslave and continue to dominate the entire world. Where are these manuscripts? We don’t know, but we try to get closer to the truth, because the truth is the only thing that will set us free.

According to Greenewald,  around 10,000 Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA) reports were required to obtain the PDFs and the process was an excruciatingly long one. He scanned the documents by hand. 

“Around 20 years ago, I had fought for years to get additional UFO records released from the CIA,” Greenewald said in an email to Motherboard. “It was like pulling teeth! I went around and around with them to try and do so, finally achieving it. I received a large box, of a couple thousand pages, and I had to scan them in one page at a time.”

According to a blog announcing the archive, the CIA created a CD-ROM containing previously released records as well as those the Black Vault was attempting to unseal. To ensure the Black Vault has as complete a record of CIA documents as possible available, it purchased this CD-ROM in mid-2020. 

The Black Vault blog notes that the CIA claims that this represents all its documents on the file, but there may be no way to verify that and other documents may be out there. 

“Researchers and curious minds alike prefer simplicity and accessibility when they look at data dumps such as these,” Greenewald said. “The CIA has made it INCREDIBLY difficult to use their records in a reasonable manner. They offer a format that is very outdated (multi page .tif) and offer text file outputs, largely unusable, that I think they intend to have people use as a “search” tool.  In my opinion, this outdated format makes it very difficult for people to see the documents, and use them, for any research purpose.”

According to Greenewald, there have been thousands of downloads within the first 24 hours of the release. From a dispute with a Bosnian fugitive with alleged E.T. contact to mysterious midnight explosions in a small Russian town, the reports definitely take readers for a wild ride. Some of the documents are crisp and clear while others are nearly indecipherable. 

One of the most interesting documents in the drop, Greenewald said, involved the Assistant Deputy Director for Science & Technology being hand-delivered some piece of information on a UFO in the 1970s. 

The first UFO information to be declassified under FOIA laws came in the 1970s and early 1980s. After this, Greenewald said it was exceptionally difficult to obtain information from the government regarding extraterrestrial phenomena. 

“Plain and simple, the public has a right to know!” Greenewald said. “When I began researching nearly 25 years ago at the age of 15, I knew there was something to this topic.  Not because of viral internet hoaxes. Not because of back door meetings wherein I can’t tell you who, but I promise it was mind-blowing information. No, none of that. It was simply because of the evidence that I got straight from the CIA. And the NSA. And the Air Force. And the DIA. I feel I am achieving what I set out to do. Easy access, to important material, for people to make up their own minds on what is going on.”

The CIA did not respond to a request for comment.

Astronomers have a new measurement for the distance of quasar J0313-1806, making it the new record-holder for the most distant quasar known. We’re seeing it just 670 million years after the Big Bang, or more than 13 billion light-years away.

Keck Observatory and NSF’s NOIRLab both announced on January 12, 2021, that astronomers have located an object that sets a new record for being the most distant quasar and thus the most distant supermassive black hole. They said they’re seeing the quasar – labeled J0313-1806 – just 670 million years after the Big Bang, or more than 13 billion light-years away. It’s estimated to be some 1,000 times more luminous than our Milky Way galaxy, which is why we can still see it across such a great distance. This object is thought to be powered by what’s now the earliest known supermassive black hole in our universe, weighing in at more than 1.6 billion times the mass of our sun. Astronomers released this result this week at the January 2021 virtual meeting of the American Astronomical Society.

A paper outlining the new work has been accepted for publication in the peer-reviewed Astrophysical Journal Letters and is available in preprint format on arXiv.org.

• The 2021 lunar calendars are here! Order yours before they’re gone.

The astronomers didn’t just investigate the quasar’s distance; they also found a high-velocity wind apparently flowing from the central supermassive black hole at some 20% of light-speed.

When astronomers first began seeing quasars in the 1950s, they gave them a name that means quasi-stellar (star-like) radio source. In other words, radio telescopes first spotted them, and the first optical telescopes saw them as point-like, like stars. But by the 1960s and ’70s, quasars’ spectra had revealed them to be exceedingly distant. And astronomers wondered how such distant objects could emit such copious amounts of radiation and still be visible from so far away.

That’s when the idea of quasars being powered by supermassive black holes began to take hold. Now, as explained by Keck Observatory, quasars are seen as:

… the feeding frenzies of colossal supermassive black holes … the most energetic objects in the universe. They occur when gas in the superheated accretion disk around a supermassive black hole is inexorably drawn inwards, radiating light across the electromagnetic spectrum.

The amount of energy emitted by quasars is enormous, with the most massive examples easily outshining entire galaxies.

Quasars are typically so distant that astronomers don’t speak of their distances in light-years. A distance in light-years can only be inferred, not measured directly. What can be measured is the object’s redshift, which correlates to its distance. Quasar JO313-1806 has a record-setting redshift of z = 7.64.

Astronomers who made this new measurement said that the presence of such a massive black hole so early in the universe’s history challenges theories of black hole formation. Feige Wang, a NASA Hubble fellow at the University of Arizona and lead author of the research paper, explained:

Black holes created by the very first massive stars could not have grown this large in only a few hundred million years.

In addition to weighing the monster black hole, the Keck Observatory and Gemini North observations uncovered an extremely fast outflow emanating from the quasar in the form of a high-velocity wind traveling at 20% of the speed of light. Astronomer Jinyi Yang at the University of Arizona – a co-author on the new paper – commented:

The energy released by such an extreme high-velocity outflow is large enough to impact the star formation in the entire quasar host galaxy.

The astronomers said this is:

… the earliest known example of a quasar sculpting the growth of its host galaxy, making J0313-1806 a promising target for future observations.

The galaxy hosting J0313-1806’s is undergoing a spurt of star formation, producing new stars 200 times faster than the Milky Way. The combination of this intense star formation, the luminous quasar, and the high-velocity outflow make J0313-1806 and its host galaxy a promising natural laboratory for understanding the growth of supermassive black holes and their host galaxies in the early universe.

Wang added:

This would be a great target to investigate the formation of the earliest supermassive black holes. We also hope to learn more about the effect of quasar outflows on their host galaxy, as well as to learn how the most massive galaxies formed in the early universe.

Astronomers Feige Wang and Jinyi Yang, both of Steward Observatory at the University of Arizona, helped measure the distance for quasar J0313-1806, the current record-holder for the most distant quasar known in our universe.

• Bottom line: Astronomers have a new measurement for the distance of quasar J0313-1806, making it the new record-holder for the most distant quasar known. We’re seeing it just 670 million years after the Big Bang, or more than 13 billion light-years away. The astronomers also found a high-velocity wind apparently flowing from this quasar’s central, supermassive black hole at some 20% of light-speed.

The urban forest of the future: how to turn our cities into Treetopias

We are and will continue to plant more street trees, urban groves and informal clusters of trees in our parks and green spaces. Treetopia has begun.

 by Alan Simson

 

The 21st century is the urban century. It has been forecast that urban areas across the world will have expanded by more than 2.5 billion people by 2050.

The scale and speed of urbanisation has created significant environmental and health problems for urban dwellers. These problems are often made worse by a lack of contact with the natural world.

With research group the Tree Urbanistas, I have been considering and debating how to solve these problems. By 2119, it is only through re-establishing contact with the natural world, particularly trees, that cities will be able to function, be viable and able to support their populations.

Future cities

The creation of urban forests will make cities worth living in, able to function and support their populations: Treetopias.

This re-design will include the planting of many more urban trees and other vegetation – and making use of new, more creative methods. Although we didn’t fully realise it at the time, the 1986 Hundertwasserhaus in Vienna, a building that incorporated 200 trees in its design, was the start of more creative urban forestry thinking.

This has been carried on in Stefano Boeri’s Bosco Verticale apartments in downtown Milan, which incorporates over 800 trees as part of the building. Similar structures are being developed around the world, such as in Nanjing in China and Utrecht in The Netherlands.

The urban forest needs to be designed as a first principle, part of the critical infrastructure of the whole city, not just as a cosmetic afterthought. We know for example that in 2015, urban forest in the UK saved the NHS over £1 billion by helping to reduce the impact of air pollutants. In 2119, we may well look back on this present time as the equivalent of the Victorian slum.

Trees can create places which can greatly improve our health and well-being. Our urban forest can give us the spaces and places to help manage our mental health and improve our physical health. Research has indicated for example that increasing the canopy cover of a neighbourhood by 10% and creating safe, walkable places can reduce obesity by as much as 18%.

Cities built on trees

As rural areas become less productive as a result of climate change, cities – which previously consumed goods and services from a large hinterland – will have to become internally productive. Trees will be at the centre of that, contributing to the city energy balance through cooling, regulating and cleaning our air and water flows, and ensuring that our previously neglected urban soils function healthily.

Urban forests could also provide timber for building. We have a history of productive woodlands in the UK, yet alternative construction materials and a growth in an urban population with less knowledge of forest management means that the urban forest is rarely viewed as productive. We are now recognising the potential productivity of the urban forest, as campaigns to stimulate homegrown timber markets and achieve more efficient management efficiencies are proving to be successful.

Furthermore, economic growth is still deemed to be the prime symbol of the effectiveness of a city, but we need to be equally aware of other invisible values. This will open up new approaches to governance. Governance needs to embrace all forms of value in a balanced way and facilitate a new vision, considering how trees can help create liveable cities.

New opportunities

As the urban population rises, we need to get better at understanding the breadth and diversity of the values held about our urban forest. Individual people can hold several distinct values at once, as urban forests may contribute to their wellbeing in different ways.

The current guardians of our urban forest, mainly local authority tree officers, spend much of their time managing risks rather than maximising the opportunities of trees. They often receive complaints about trees and tree management, and it can sometimes be difficult to remember that people do care about trees. We need to develop viable partnerships between tree managers, community members and businesses to support trees in our cities.

Although the canopy cover of cities worldwide is currently falling, this is not the case in Europe, where it is increasing. Many European countries are acknowledging the fact that we have over-designed our towns and cities to accommodate the car, and now it is time to reclaim the public realm for our people – either pedestrians on foot or on bicycles.

Creative developments like the Hundertwasserhaus are not the only answer to creating Treetopia. We are and will continue to plant more street trees, urban groves and informal clusters of trees in our parks and green spaces. Treetopia has begun.

During the course of my many Chupacabra investigations on Puerto Rico (from 2004 to 2018), barely a day went by when I didn’t hear at least one story of the chupacabra’s vampire-like attacks on livestock and other animals. And I can’t tell you how many times the words “blood” and “draining” (or “sucking”) were used in the very same sentence. Certainly,  I uncovered a number of stories from people who claimed their dead animals were subjected to necropsies, and which confirmed that massive blood loss had occurred. The problem, however, was that I was never able to secure even a single, official necropsy report to validate those claims. On the other side of the coin, I have heard more than a few stories suggesting the assumed, huge loss of blood was actually due to the blood of the dead animals sinking to the lowest parts of the victims’ bodies, after death. What appeared to have been evidence of a significant loss of blood may, then, have really been be due to nothing more than wild, and uninformed, misidentification. And on the issue of misinterpretation, it’s important to understand the biology and processes involved in those creatures that do dine on blood.

When it comes to the matter of animals that ingest and digest blood (a process called hematophagy), you might be surprised just how many there are. The long list includes bed-bugs, lampreys, Torpedo snails (a type of sea-snail), fleas, horseflies, and Geospiza difficilis septentrionalis – the “vampire finch” of the Galapagos Islands, which happens to be the only known bird on the planet that supplements its diet with fresh blood. Of course, the most famous of all the blood-drinking animals is the bat. More specifically: the vampire bat. There are no less than three kinds of vampire bat: the hairy-legged, the white-winged, and the common vampire bat, all of which have their origins in the New World. Interestingly, and just like the chupacabra, the white-winged vampire has a particular liking of the blood of goats.

Just like its horror-movie counterpart, this particular breed of vampire prefers to spend its time in places dominated by just one thing: darkness. Caverns, tunnels, abandoned buildings, and caves are among the most favorite abodes of the vampire bat. To say that the vampire bat is a unique creature is not an understatement. It uses what are termed thermo-receptors – sensory neurons – to identify those parts of potential prey where the blood is closest to the surface of the skin and easily accessible. In terms of its attacks, and again just like its fictional, horror-movie-based counterparts, the vampire bat very often feeds on creatures that are sleeping, as this makes them far less likely to fight back. The brain of the vampire bat – and primarily the inferior colliculus, which controls how the brain interprets sound – is particularly honed to allow it to detect an animal that is specifically in the sleep-state.

There are other parallels between vampire bats and the likes of the characters in True Blood and The Strain. To survive, they have to keep drinking blood. Studies have shown that vampire bats cannot go for more than approximately forty-eight hours without a significant amount of the red stuff flowing through their systems. Perhaps most fascinating of all is what happens when a vampire bat fails to find fresh blood. It will approach another member of the colony and, in a fashion that is still not fully understood, give a sign that it is in dire need of food. The other bat, in response, will regurgitate tiny amounts of its own, recent intake of blood, thus providing its fellow-vampire with much-needed nourishment. Now, we come to the most important aspect of the life and feeding activities of the vampire bat. If it shatters some cherished assumptions, that’s too damned bad, but – contrary to what many people believe – vampire bats do not suck blood. Ever. Instead, when a bat lands on its sleeping prey, it makes a tiny incision, with its razor-sharp teeth, that provokes the flow of blood – in much the same way that blood flows to the surface of our skin when it’s cut. The bat then proceeds to lap the protein-rich blood, rather than suck it.

That’s the truth of the matter. As for the Chupacabra, so far no evidence of specific blood-sucking has ever been found. Only in the domain of friend-of-a-friend-type tales.

SpaceX returns to Starship program roots with new ‘test tank’ prototype

It’s now clear that SpaceX is preparing to return to the roots of its Starship program with the latest in a series of one-off ‘test tanks’ meant to qualify upgrades to the rocket’s design and production.

Likely known as Starship SN7.2, the hardware will be the first standalone tank built and tested by SpaceX since SN7.1 was successfully pressurized to failure in a process known as burst testing in September 2020. Following in the footsteps of SN7.1, a simple test tank fully focused on qualifying a change in the steel alloy used to build Starships, SN7.2 was somewhat more complex, swapping one of two smooth forward domes with a thrust dome and adding a ‘skirt’ section.

Built out of the same steel alloy as SN7.1, SN7.2 went through similar testing but included the use of a hydraulic ram designed to simulate the thrust of one, two, or three Raptors on the ‘thrust puck’ those engines would otherwise attach to. Starship test tank SN7.2 appears to be quite similar to SN7.1 – but with one or two crucial differences.

SpaceX is gearing up for another round of destructive Starship tank testing to qualify design and manufacturing upgrades.

The first difference, as noted above, is a reduction in the thickness of the steel rings that make up the outer walls and structure of SN7.2’s barrel-like tank section. SpaceX is believed to have reduced that skin thickness by 25% (4mm to 3mm) in an apparent effort to begin a weight reduction process necessary for Starships to eventually achieve their optimal payload goal of ~150 metric tons (~330,000 lb) to low Earth orbit.

From some angles, SN7.2’s steel rings do appear slightly flimsier or more liable to warp from the heat of welding than other test tanks in the SN7 range, but the differences are rather subtle. Regardless, a reduction from 4mm to 3mm steel rings could likely cut 5-10% from an orbit-capable Starship’s empty weight. When every gram of Starship mass reduction translates directly into an extra gram of payload, it’s safe to say that SpaceX is just getting started.

It’s unclear if a successful SN7.2 test campaign will result in similar reductions to the steel that makes up Starship tank domes and noses. SN7.2’s forward and thrust domes appear to be more or less identical to almost all prior Starship prototype hardware.

Aside from thinner steel skin, it’s also possible that SpaceX will attempt to hit two birds with one stone and test a second unproven change on SN7.2 – namely an upgraded ‘thrust puck’ design. That new puck design first appeared on a November 2020 shipment from SpaceX’s Hawthorne, CA headquarters. Referring to the cone-like structure Starship’s three central Raptor engines attach to and are fed propellant through, the new design simplifies plumbing complexity by allowing Starship’s fuel and fuel header tanks to attach directly to and feed methane through the puck.

SpaceX’s upgraded thrust puck design is likely to debut on Starship SN15 or a fourth SN7 test tank. 

(NASASpaceflight – bocachicagal)

SN10’s thrust puck appears a bit more complex, although it accomplishes the same task. 

(NASASpaceflight – bocachicagal)

It’s unclear which thrust puck design SN7.2 has settled on, though SpaceX’s decision to make SN7.2 an engine section test tank arguably points towards the new puck. Regardless, SpaceX will almost certainly install a skirt section – two reinforced rings – underneath SN7.2 once the tank is welded together, giving it the hold-down clamps needed to secure it to a launch mount while simulating Raptor thrust.

The Irish Origins of Civilization… The Druid's Influence

The Irish Origins of Civilization… The Druid’s Influence

COAST TO COAST AM INSIDER Archived Show – Appearing during the first three hours, alternative historian Michael Tsarion discussed his latest work on the Irish origins of civilization including the influence of the Druids on language and religion.

He asserted that the destruction of these people, known as Druids, served to minimize their wide-reaching historical influence. Their legacy, however, can be seen in symbolism found in modern times, appropriated into many works, including architecture.

Real Disclosure! They Were Here Before Us & Come From Inner Earth

In This (LARP) Live Action Role Playing game we compile the Data from ancient Cuneiform tablets, Statues Tens of Thousands of Years Old in India and Scriptures from around the World to present the possibility, some Species labeled as Aliens actually come from here and live within the Earth, not Outer Space.

A highly evolved, physically and mentally advanced species that has lived since the dinosaurs and continued to Evolve underground and in Space, sometimes on the Surface also, they fit in great, because their Physiological makeup allows them to look like us and others, similar to how the chameleon adapts to its surroundings. It appears they are running out of resources down there and want to conquer the Above Ground Realm, with its inhabitants which they label as Surface Rats or Surface Flies. They need to Terra-form the planets atmosphere though, to be comfortable up here and are using various Programs, which you and others pay for to achieve the results which better serves their needs.

Frequencies, Genetic Manipulation & Hi Level Technologies are used together to keep the Surface Flies in Order with a limited sense of Reality. Even the way most people think, limits them to a fraction of their God-spark potential, in a Devolution process which reminds me of slugs in sludge, slithering slowly in stinky slime. Remember this is for Entertainment Purposes and a LARP.

Proof we live in a simulated universe? You decide, But Scientists Say 50-50 Chance, Jan 13, 2021, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: January 13, 2021 00:01:06
Location of sighting: Earths Sun 
Source:  Helioviewer

Scientific America article:

• https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/do-we-live-in-a-simulation-chances-are-about-50-50/

I was looking at Helioviewer for the most recent sun photos and found something that really intrigued me. A glitch of two suns uniting to become one. Sure this is a glitch, but the real question is...a glitch from the satellite, or a glitch from a simulated universe? Yes, I do believe it has a high chance of being evidence that we live in a simulated universe. Even Scientific American states, "Do we live in a simulation? Chances are about 50–50." And then Scientific America makes one final statement deciding on a conclusion about us living in a simulation, "Maybe we are living in base reality after all—The Matrix, Musk and weird quantum physics notwithstanding."

 

All I am saying here is please consider the possibilities that what we see and what we are told exist might be something totally different. If 50% of the worlds scientists are on the edge about this...then there is defiantly something to the theory.

TicTac UFO over Albertville, Alabama 14-Jan-2021

Another daytime UFO sighting. This one was filmed over Albertville, Alabama on 14th January 2021.

Witness report: 

Was out looking at sunset and was panning around sky looking at chem trails when I turned around it was just there. When I say just there, I mean no sound at all,no chem trails. Headed in a straight path. At first it made my phone kind of glitch and I zoomed in. Could tell it looked like a tic tac and I saw no wings. As I followed it with my phone it seemed to just disappear. As I was showing in my video, all the planes were leaving chem trails and I wanted to show that. I panned back around to where I had initially saw the craft, another one had appeared in what looked like the same place. Again,no chem trails or sound. It also made my phone glitch and disappeared to what looked like in the same place as the first one.

Daytime UFO filmed over Bangkok, Thailand 26-Dec-2020

New footage filmed on 26th December 2020 about this strange object flying across the sky above Bangkok in Thailand.

Witness report: 

I was standing on 31th floor of building and look on sky above and i saw this. Its very far above from 31th floor i dnt think its a drone. Its in a city where there are none of military bases. I was waiting it to come down if it was a drone but at the end it keeps going up in the sky and disappear in the cloud. Can you check whether it is ufo or not.
