Greg Hunter, "Elite Closing Down Truth Tellers"
*"Elite Closing Down Truth Tellers"* By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com "Economic expert and journalist Dr. Paul Craig Roberts says the ideas of the elite are awful, and they want to suppress free speech to get their policies instituted. Dr. Roberts explains, “The agendas of the elite are hidden. They are not something the American people would support. The elite are fearful that their cover stories are so thin that if truth can be shown on their agendas, they will be discredited. They will lose their abilities to impose their agendas. So, they are closing down truth tellers in order... more »

Not As Scary As It Seems: Planet At Risk Of Heading Towards “Hothouse Earth” State
This is scaring some people - because they describe dramatic things that could happen like floods tens of meters deep, and the world too hot for humans. Most of this is for far into the future. The sea rising 10s of meters would be thousands of years into the future - many of the news stories didn’t make that clear. read more

Has Bill Gates’ superyacht been converted into a pandemic operations centre, and is Angela Merkel spending her hols there supervising the Ebola false flag?

Red Toothy Humanoid Appears in the Night
There could be millions of these about and we would never know. The observation was crystal clear and the reaction normal. Sleep is no explanation and the physical disturbance confirms the reality of the event. It could be Earth derived reptilian from the description, but the lack of eyes is says otherwise.

We already understand that intelligent creatures can appear and disappear themselves in front of you by altering your perception.

Menacing Bigfoot in Kentucky
I do not think that this was truly menacing but it was confrontational as the truck had come back up the road after it. Like the big Apes, the big foot will confront, make noise and trow things to discourage you. It will not actually attack. Much of that could be from well learned respect. Observe that it understood what a hand gun was. The Big foot has always had the advantage of us in its ability to observe us and our behavior. Thus they normally avoid contact as that is safest. Assume also that stories of contact has been passed down among them.. * Menacing Bigfoot ... more »
Incident Above Earth
What is bizarre here is that an extraction was done and the individual was taken from an hotel room with witnesses and placed back in his own home. As with thousands of abduction reports, medical procedures were undertaken We also establish that the craft was in Earth orbit.

"AN ANTI-CONCEPT IS AN an artificial, unnecessary and rationally unusable term designed to replace and obliterate some legitimate concept."

So-called "hate speech" is an anti-concept witch-doctored up to obliterate free speech. The process is working.
