Floating Brawlers: Britain's Aircraft Carriers Could Take a Serious Punch
*Warfare History Network* *Security, * The British carriers were able absorb great punishment and remain afloat; however, the Americans were able to put larger numbers of planes in the air during the early, critical stages of the War in the Pacific. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The landing decks were to be covered with 3-inch armor plates, while the hangar walls were to be built with armor plating 4 inches thick. The ships’ magazines and their vital machinery were to be protected by a 4-inch armor belt below the waterline. When one thinks of carrier warfare in World War II... read more

Chinese intelligence leader turns: What a difference a defector makes
This is a total disaster for the CCP. Much of what is reported here is known to me because I expected as much since 1980 and knew where to look and find. Yet it was all conjecture missing names and details that would make it all actionable. My point is that if I could do this, then MIL INTEL was doing a lot better simply because they have thousands of trained eyeballs. That is why we have been at WAR for the past five years and in low level conflict much longer. Now it is possible to completely turn on the CCP INTEL apparatus. You can turn operatives or use them.

New method converts carbon into graphene or diamond in a flash

It also means that we can reform many other materials as well. how about silicon graphene. *New method converts carbon into graphene or diamond in a flash* *By Michael Irving* *June 21, 2021* *Researchers have developed a way to use "flashes" of electricity to con... read more
A Cheaper Method for Hydrogen Based Fuels
This is lovely work and likely overdue. Just how any of this can be manufactured remains to be seen. Amorphous metals are potentially valuable. The problem is simply the manufacturing cycle. Nickel by itself is vaporized and sublimated onto a spinning wheel to produce a ribon. This ribbon is central to modern drive motors for cars. That took decades to perfect. now we have an oxide blend to play with. No indication here on potential efficency. *A CHEAPER METHOD FOR HYDROGEN-BASED FUELS * 22 JUN, 2021 *https://www.lightsource.ca/news/details/a_cheaper_method_for_hydrogen... read more
Real-Life Mermaid & Underwater Humanoid Encounters
We do not know what these folks saw, but it is all recent. What it does do is explain the historical genesis of the mermaid mythos. It is possible to see a living meremaid. These reports are eyewitness confirmations which are naturally rare. Not so long ago, i dismissed most reports as fanciful. Thousands of eyeballs later, i have slowly pieced together a huge complex mosaic of both rare lifeforms and a lot of lifeforms intelligent enough to operate beside us without us the wiser.
