10 Days of Darkness Starts Now, No ATM, Credit Cards, Internet?
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
Right now the instrument of declaring an insurrection has been signed as of this past weekend. The potential now exists for heavy civil unrest coming from paid communist agents acting under the names of Antifa and BLM. This can lead to disruption of the communication system. Meantime the tech crowd is massively censoring folks. The worst, if it occurs should last several days. Inasmuch as all forms of legal redress to massive voter fraud has been rebuffed, the military has taken over governance applying military law. This means military tribunals for all traitors. Meanti...
Earth Isn't the Only Ocean World in the Solar System
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
It is pretty clear that planet formation also includes the production of water as well. I will go a lot further than that. Most of that water is subsumed in the planet's crust in most cases. Without an atmosphere, any surface water is disassociated into free hydrogen which may well escape. That explains the smaller inner planets. Yet not so as we get further out. As I have also posted, my own Cloud Cosmology suggests that all our planets are in fact hollow shells built around a central 'star' which produces a steady stream of elements to form up the crust and this crust nat...

DTP vaccine from Bill Gates killed 10x more African girls than disease itself
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
Someone finally looked at the meta statistics and the problems we had with DTP translated into continuing programs in Asia and Africa. Whatever evidence we have had for some vaccines, we find that jumping to a new vaccine protocol is not safe at all. Worse than any of this, why have we not run a placebo based vaccine program folded into the real deal in order to confirm safety? The reason i bring this up it happens to be an excellent and safe schema. If we vaccinate one million people and ten percent get the carrier fluid alone, then ninety percent are vaccinated.

Has 2020 Ended as the Warmest Year on Record?
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
Please observe that our chart is showing a steady temperature increase since 1980. That is forty years. Looks pretty. The gain claimed is around one degree. This is not unusual though and fully recovers the loss induced by the Little Ice Age. during this era, we are also watching the arctic open up to conditions not seen 1000 AD. what this all tells us is that we have moved from minus one half degree to plus one half degree. This is actually beneficial and takers us back to superios conditions experienced during the middle ages. Ther remains zero evidence that this has any...
The Other Rotation - Gold-To-Crypto Flows Accelerate
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
In case you have not noticed. Bitcoin has not gone away. nor has gold and for the same reason. No one can swamp the market. It is also true that Bitcoin is way more convenient to work in than gold. All the obvious negatives have worked out of the markets as well. Thus long term conversion into bitcoin must continue as nothing else really matters least of all market volitility. Sooner or later this will all become generational and Gold can slide back to been a preferred commodity. What i do know now is that i can dump earnings into bitcoin in Zimbawe when earned and then at...
Scientists use microwave oven to turn coal into graphite
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
This is really unusual. It also looks to be cost effective as well. We are looking at the high volume production of nano sized graphite dust from finely ground coal. i suspect fine size detetrmines the graphite particle size. Inasmuch as graphite and coked coal is extremely difficult to crush, this happens to be a viable route to produce small particle size ahead of actual conversion to graphite. Thus, we may have a useful bulk source of industrial graphite. imagine a titanian graphite concrete structure. stuff like this becomes imaginable at least. *Scientists use micro...
3 Reasons Why Neuroplasticity is Life-Changing
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
This is from the arrowsmith newsletter. It is confirmation of something that I had suspected but did not know how to approach proof. It tells us that learning a new language drives brain growth through additional wiring. The big take home is that education needs to focus on language training in particular. The immediate corrollory to this is that mathematics is in fact a language. This is not trivial. It tells us that IQ improvement is best served by mathematics training. Memory mastery is nice but it can allow you to pass course after course without getting smarter. In ...

Will Vaccines Affect the Duration of England’s Lockdown?
Peter Sivey, James Gaughan, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Peter Sivey, James Gaughan* *Coronavirus, Europe* It’s hoped that the new lockdown regulations, including school closures, will allow time for the vaccine program to get underway. England has gone into a tough lockdown to halt spiralling COVID-19 hospitalisations and relieve pressure on its health system. The prime minister, Boris Johnson, has said the new lockdown will last at least seven weeks, but it’s safe to assume that, with many hospitals near capacity, it will stay in place as long as is needed to suppress the threat of the NHS being overwhelmed.

Federation Failures
Geoff, The Australian Climate Sceptics Blog - 23 hours ago
*Federation Failures* *by Viv Forbes* Colonial Australians voted for Federation for four key reasons – Defence, Foreign Affairs, Quarantine and the maintenance of Free Trade between States. Our Federation is failing in all four areas. In Defence, we send our soldiers into un-winnable foreign wars, and then spurn and short-change the veterans who come back. The media and some top brass have smeared all soldiers because a few have been accused of war crimes (probably while attempting to stay alive themselves). And while the Indo-Pacific prepares for war, we play gender games and ...

Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 1 day ago
On January 6, 2021, thousands of Trump supporters rallied in Washington, DC at the White House with President Trump and then marched to the Capitol as the presidential election was being certified. Some of them entered the Capitol illegally, either with the assistance of police, as the police passively allowed them to enter or by breaking in through windows and doors. Some of them sought out and threatened lawmakers and ransacked offices. I speak with longtime DC organizer, Brian Becker, who is the national coordinator for the ANSWER Coalition about the events of January 6, the ri...

"A Stock Market Crash Of 80% This Year?"
CoyotePrime, Running 'Cause I Can't Fly 2 - 1 day ago
*"A Stock Market Crash Of 80% This Year?"* by Epic Economist "The entire U.S. economy is crumbling, but stock markets are still recording a frenetic bull run led by investors' euphoria surrounding tech stocks. However, massively overvalued tech stock prices are forming a bubble much like the dot-com bubble of the 1990s, and we all know how things ended up back then. Several experts are alerting to the unsustainability of the markets, especially since these extraordinary prices are backed on delusional projections for the upcoming performance of our struggling economy. A stock marke...

Will Joe Biden Close Guantanamo Bay?
War News Updates Editor, War News Updates - 1 day ago
*WNU Editor:* President-elect Joe Biden committed to the closing of Guantanamo Bay 10 years ago. But will he actually close it? Much of the Democrat base wants to close it, and with Democrats in control of the US government there is really no excuse for Biden to close it. My money is that it will be closed in the coming months, and some of the detainees at this prison will be brought to the U.S.. What happens after that will be court cases, law suits, and the very real possibility that some of these terrorists will be released.
