"Hang In There..."

noreply@blogger.com (CoyotePrime) at Running 'Cause I Can't Fly - 21 hours ago
"Using time, pressure and patience, the universe gradually changes caterpillars into butterflies, sand into pearls, and coal into diamonds. You're being worked on too, so hang in there. Just because something isn't apparent right now, doesn't mean it isn't happening. It's not until the end do you realize, sometimes your biggest blessings were disguised by pain and suffering. They were not placed there to break you, but to make you." - "The Angel Affect" "What the caterpillar calls the end of the world the master calls a butterfly." - Richard Bach

"No Moment Can Be Saved For Later"

noreply@blogger.com (CoyotePrime) at Running 'Cause I Can't Fly - 21 hours ago
*"No Moment Can Be Saved For Later"* by David Cain "Last week I went for my midday walk first thing in the morning, because by noon it was supposed to be hot and muggy. The feel of that particular morning was so sublime and strange I have nothing but clichés to describe it with. It was the day before school started, and the neighborhood was both supernaturally quiet and uncannily beautiful. The sky was orange and still, and the air was so thick it seemed to filter out traffic noise, leaving a soundtrack of only birds. September-stage trees and gardens glistened in July-like morning... more »

Face-off: What If Japan and China’s Best Naval Warships Went to War?

Kyle Mizokami at The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Asia* [image: By Hunini - Own work, CC BY-SA 3.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=32452542] Who would win? *Key point:* Japan's navy is very advanced, but China has done an excellent job of catching up. The People’s Republic of China Army Navy (PLAN) is experiencing an unprecedented rise in ships and capabilities. China is building virtually every class of warship, from aircraft carriers to corvettes simultaneously, and in some cases, by the dozen. Of particular note is the Luyang III or Type 052D–class destroyer. Designed to provide a... more »

Lead-Based Paint Found in Half of all Inspected Schools

Marilynne R Wood at The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Marilynne R Wood* *Environment, Americas* [image: Reuters] Lead-based paint is being found in roughly half of schools that do inspections, a federal report reveals. With all the emphasis that has been placed on making sure children are safe from the hazards of lead-based paint at home, similar efforts would seem just as important for America’s schools. After all, outside of the home, young children spend the majority of their day – 6.8 hours a day – at school. Yet a new federal report found that an estimated 15.2 million children in the U.S. go to schools in school districts th... more »

A Confederate Statue Graveyard Could Help Bury the Old South

Jordan Brasher at The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Jordan Brasher* *History, Americas* [image: Reuters] The idea behind relocating monuments is to dethrone dominant historical narratives that, in their traditional places of power, are tacitly endorsed. An estimated 114 Confederate symbols have been removed from public view since 2015. In many cases, these cast-iron Robert E. Lees and Jefferson Davises were sent to storage. If the aim of statue removal is to build a more racially just South, then, as many analysts have pointed out, putting these monuments in storage is a lost opportunity. Simply unseating Confederate statues fro... more »

Can All These Experts Be Wrong? What Is Really Behind the Recent Wave of UFO Disclosure Reports?

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
Many of those experts are aging out and no longer care much about decades old secrecy oaths. They simply want to share knowledge that rightly belongs to us all. They also see others getting it all on the record while been completely ignored so it is safe enough. There exists one man alive today, in his nineties, who was perfectly placed to be completely briefed on the subject. That is Paul Helyer who was Minister of Defense in Canada during the mid sixties. He also held rank during WWII and was thus a natural colleague of all the USA military leadership. In the last decade he ... more »

Robert F Kennedy was assassinated by Thane Eugene Cesar

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
This item is more for the record as I have scant doubt, after piecing together the events surrounding the assassinations of both JFK and MLK and thus fully understanding the driving motive of preventing a real investigation, that RFK could never be allowed to reach the Presidency. What this all confirms is that the whole scene in LA was crawling with CIA types. Sirhan Sirhan was the obvious patsy who pled guilty under duress and is not relevant. Caesar does fit nicely the profile of a CIA foreign based operative who could disappear overseas while the heat died down. There wou... more »

“After sleeping through a hundred million centuries we have finally opened our eyes on a sumptuous planet, sparkling with color, bountiful with life. Within decades we must close our eyes again.

This is how I answer when I am asked- as I am surprisingly often- why I bother to get up in the mornings.” - Richard Dawkins

*“12 Steps to Fulfillment”* by Paulo Coelho “When Joseph Campbell, today’s most famous scholar of mythology (and author of the excellent “The Power of Myth"*) created the expression “follow your blessing,” he was reflecting an idea that seems to be very appropriate right now.
