I quote: "We reevaluate the evolution of the GrIS since LGM and obtain a loss of 1.5-m ... more »
Beware Third Choices
Hillary Clinton is a flawed candidate. All presidential candidates are. I have argued in this space that, given who Donald Trump is, voting for a third party candidate is highly dangerous. I have pointed to the history of Wiemar Germany as a cautionary tale. Gerry Caplan points to recent American history to make the same case: The most infamous case in recent history was 16 years ago, when Ralph Nader argued that Al Gore was no worse than George W. Bush. Nader got a derisory 2.74 per cent of the vote, just enough to ensure Gore’s defeat. The world got Bush and Cheney, the U.S. inv... more »
Aliens Built World’s First Airport In Iraq 5000 BC
Iraq’s transport minister says aliens built the world’s first airport in El Naciria, southern Iraq 7,000 years ago to launch missions to other planets. Kazem Finjan claims “ancient aliens” helped establish the space station to explore the solar system. He told a packed conference that seven thousand years ago interplanetary missions were being launched from southern Iraq. “The first airport that was established on planet earth was in this place. It was constructed 5,000 years before Christ.” RT.com reports: Getting ever so slightly sidetracked during a press conference to announce... more »
Bill Clinton Caught Groping Young Intern
Uncovered ABC footage shows a younger Bill Clinton groping a young assistant at the back of a moving vehicle. Some may say that the former U.S. president may have instinctively moved his hand to protect the female passenger in the vehicle. Others may say that Bill is a gentleman and was discretely fixing the young lady’s skirt. Of course there may be more to the story than meets the eye Subject Politics reports: As you’ll see in the uncovered ABC footage below, Bill was caught on camera GROPING an assistant before realizing the camera was actually on!

US Army Chief Issues Stark Warning To Russia
In comments directed at Russia, US Army Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Milley issued a warning to America’s enemies on Tuesday, saying they was ready to “destroy” any foe, anywhere, at any time. “We will beat you harder than you have ever been beaten before“ Infowars reports: “I want to be clear to those who wish to do us harm….the United States military – despite all of our challenges, despite our [operational] tempo, despite everything we have been doing – we will stop you and we will beat you harder than you have ever been beaten before. Make no mistake about that,” said Milley. The ... more »

The science deniers’ greatest hits
By Paul Homewood http://climatechangedispatch.com/the-science-deniers-greatest-hits/ From Climate Change Dispatch: “And yet, it moves.” Thus muttered Galileo Galilei under his breath, after being forced by the Inquisition to recant his claim that the Earth moved around the Sun, rather than the other way round. The public vindication of Copernican heliocentrism would have […]
The Economy: "Why the Feds Will Lose Their War on the Markets"
*"Why the Feds Will Lose Their War on the Markets"* by Bill Bonner "The markets continue to dawdle. Not much conviction in either direction. We’ve already looked at the War on Poverty, the War on Drugs and the War on Terror. So let’s move on…using our new lens to look at another of the feds’ fake wars. *Dirty War: *No war was ever officially declared against the markets. But for four decades the feds conducted covert operations…a dirty war in which they’ve tried to mislead, obstruct, and suppress market forces. They used fake money, fake savings, and fake interest rates to confuse ... more »
Storing excess energy in trains
A recent blackout on Australia has been blamed on the irregular sources of energy, especially the wind turbines, by some people including the prime minister. Others disagree. Whether or not a particular problem such as this one should be blamed on "renewables", it's clear that their irregularity brings a serious problem for the grids, a problem that may very well beat the advantages. An obvious way to fight against the irregularity is to store the extra energy and use it when the wind isn't blowing or when the Sun is not shining. Every physical system in Nature carries energy so ... more »
The Real Reason the US Can't Separate Moderates from Al Qaeda in Syria
*October 6, 2016* (Tony Cartalucci - NEO) - The US has attempted to direct attention away from the fact supposed "moderate rebels" it has been supporting are now openly aligned to designated foreign terrorist organizations including Al Qaeda, Jabhat Al Nusra, and the self-proclaimed "Islamic State" (ISIS) by focusing instead on the alleged "humanitarian crisis" unfolding amid final operations to restore security to the northern Syrian city of Aleppo. *Syria Already Controls the Vast Majority of Aleppo* The operation however, headed by Syrian forces and supported by its allies incl... more »
Genesis for the New Space Age with John Leith - Intro
I will be posting a chapter each day here. There are twenty. This item has been written off as fiction and portions of the material can best be understood as interpolations of fiction in order for the mind to temporarily accept the unacceptable. However, a year ago i rejected the whole idea of a hollow earth as preposterous. Yet today, my deeper understanding of my cloud cosmology has led me to seriously consider the conjecture as plausible. Recall cloud cosmology is based on the consequences of my published mathematics which also expanded the foundations of mathematics itself ... more »
Bitter Melon – Kills up to 98% of the Dangerous Cancer Cells and Stops Diabetes
Essentially the juice has the same effect as chemotherapy without the problems. Add one more to our inventory of contracancer indicated herbal solutions. It all adds up to an efficacious protocol that can cure cancer. It means stimulating and fully restoring health to the body and the immune system. Yet that describes most recovered patients. Maybe we have something there? We need to master the art of preparing this melon. . *Bitter Melon – Kills up to 98% of the Dangerous Cancer Cells and Stops Diabetes* *http://humansarefree.com/2016/09/bitter-mel... more »
Healing with Sound in Ancient Temples: 111hz

Empty Fat Deposits Effortlessly?
This tale is highly unbelievable. A google search actually provides little additional help so we can take as a starting point that this is all bunkum. Yet it would be wonderfully helpful if our bodies could simply dump stored fat on demand. This is worth while. Better it should not be impossible either. If you can get fresh linseed, do stay near the toilet or the joke will be on you. The other problem is that once a cell accepts so much fat, it continues to encourage later collection which is not helpful. Changing that coding would be even better. Have fun with all this.... more »

Stable AdS flux vacua must be supersymmetric: a conjecture
Famous physicists Hiroši Ooguri and Cumrun Vafa proposed a new branch of the Swampland program in their new paper Non-supersymmetric AdS and the Swampland In 2005, Cumrun Vafa coined the term swampland to describe would-be theories or their low-energy effective field theory limits that look consistent according to the rules of effective quantum field theory but that are banned according to the more stringent rules of string theory or quantum gravity (which are ultimately equivalent concepts) i.e. that have no realization within string/M-theory. The swampland (TRF) is the "larger" b... more »
Deadly attack in north-east Kenya per BBC News
This BBC report http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-37571205 includes this; 'Militants have carried out frequent attacks on the Mandera region, which borders Somalia. They target people who are not from the local area and security forces, Kenyan papers say.' A) terrorists not militants B) do you think they target kufr not Muslims? C) what's the point of the phrase 'Kenyan papers say'? Is the targeting in dispute?

"In The Time Of Your Life..."
"In the time of your life, live- so that in good time there shall be no ugliness or death for yourself or for any life your life touches. Seek goodness everywhere, and when it is found, bring it out of its hiding-place and let it be free and unashamed. Place in matter and in flesh the least of the values, for these are things that hold death and must pass away. Discover in all things that which shines and is beyond corruption. Encourage virtue in whatever heart it may have been driven into secrecy and sorrow by the shame and terror of the world. Ignore the obvious, for it is unwort... more »
"A Look to the Heavens"
“Seen as a seagull and a duck, these nebulae are not the only cosmic clouds to evoke images of flight. But both are winging their way across this broad celestial landscape, spanning almost 7 degrees across planet Earth's night sky toward the constellation Canis Major. *Click image for larger size.* The expansive Seagull (upper left) is itself composed of two major cataloged emission nebulae. Brighter NGC 2327 forms the head with the more diffuse IC 2177 as the wings and body. Impressively, the Seagull's wingspan would correspond to about 250 light-years at an estimated distance of 3... more »
