Corey Goode: Prime Directives, Cosmic Law, and our Part in Planetary Liberation
This is an alternate read whose sourcing is impossible. It draws upon ample alternative narritives equally unsourced. Have fun. There is now a huge narritive describing underground caverns housing millions. from this it appears most individuals spend most of their time in hibernation. Few are seen been productive. Again, nothing truly rules out possibility. I am more finding the build as under developed at best. Assuming these reports are all generated by remote viewing, then there may be some reality involved as well. We are far from having confirmations. I still have o... read more
Deagel's 2025 Forecast For Massive Depopulation Is Unfolding Before Our Eyes
At this point it is claimed that half of the global population has been vaccinated. I am not so sure that this is true but will be claimed anyway by the proponents. As a direct consequence the overall death rate is increasing and this is mostly from circulatory problems arriving far earlier than reasonable. We have identified more than one agency in the Vaccine cocktail. The effect is progressive after an initial surge of damage which does kill a few. It is then followed by a slow rise in death rates that is expected to last for several years. Again we are now slowly getting... read more
An Industry Insider Just Revealed The Truth About What Is Really Behind The Shortages At Our Local Supermarkets
right now we are facing a contrived shortage put on likely by the CCP NAZI combine. Last week i saw only seven ships in our harbor for the first time in years. So unlikely unless deliberately done. Some one is spending a lot of money to create this faux shortage. This is a strategic maneuver of really stupid people. It is also late in the game and is readily redressed when the shoe drops. We do face short term inconvenience. again this is a show in which the enemy is made to play out all their tools in order to be fully discovered. Our supply alternatives are way deeper ... read more
Volodymyr Salo: 19-year-old Ukrainian student gets Pfizer mRNA injection behind his family’s back, dead seven hours later
Seven hours. that is what it took for a jab to outright kill a young healthy student. Most likely this was a poorly mixed blend or something like this that improperly dosed him. Whatever happened he got a dose of bloot clotting that simply killed him a few short hours after he had the jab. This is a really scary story because there is no conceivable alternative explanation. It was almost immediate. This single event is sufficient to ever allow a single other dose to be applied. So why are we doing this? *Volodymyr Salo: 19-year-old Ukrainian student gets Pfizer mRNA injec... read more

Chinese Fighter Aircraft are Making Waves on the Export Market
*Sebastien Roblin* *L-15, China* Countries in South America, Africa, and elsewhere are considering China's L-15 fighter that first entered service as a trainer. *Here's What You Need to Know:* Built by Hongdu in Nanchang, China, the L-15 Falcon resembles an adorably abbreviated Super Hornet or F-16. The L-15 prototypes first flew in March 2006 and entered service in limited numbers in 2013 as a subsonic Advanced Jet Trainer designated the JL-10. Flying a high-performance jet fighter is a physically and mentally demanding skill that requires a lot of practice—but each hour flying ... read more
The U.S. Navy's Super F-14 Tomcat Wasn't Meant to be
*Peter Suciu* *F-14 Tomcat, United States* The Super Tomcat was proposed as a lower-cost alternative to the Navy Advanced Tactical Fighter, but could have led to a host of even more advanced Tomcats. *Here's What you Need to Remember: *Described as an "Evolutionary" upgrade of the F-14, the ST21 (Super Tomcat for the 21st Century) would have added more fuel capacity and even an active electronically scanning array (AESA) radar that had been developed for the canceled A-12 attack aircraft.

These Five Cold War Stealth Fighters were Stunning Failures
*Robert Farley* *Stealth Fighters, World* It is some solace that even the worst of these aircraft were able to make useful contributions, even as technology changed around them. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *In USAF service the Starfighter had a higher incidence of accidents than any other Century series fighter, but the problem was much worse for Canada and Germany. The accidents had a plethora of causes, but in general single-engined fighters with small wing area will suffer a disproportionate number of incidents.

*Ethen Kim Lieser* *SR-71, * The SR-71 has made history many times over, including the famous photos of it shooting fireballs.

Although plans for an emergency Allied invasion were in place as early as 1942, the requisite skill, power, and political support did not exist for an endeavor of this magnitude until June 1944.

Russia Loves Its Su-57 Stealth Fighter, But It Doesn't Have Many
*Robert Farley* *Russia Su-57, Eurasia* With respect to other buyers, the Russians may eventually find export customers, but few seem interested at this point. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Can Russia’s aviation industry produce a sufficient number of fighters of sufficient reliability to have a significant strategic impact? The answer remains very much in doubt, but depends to great extent on whether the Russian economy recovers, and the Russian Air Force submits sufficient domestic orders to make producing the fighter a worthwhile risk.

YouTube - Further Controlling the COVID-19 Vaccine Narrative
For those of you that have read George Orwell's 1984, one of my favourite books, Winston Smith, an employee at the ironically named Ministry of Truth, is responsible for destroying history that is inconvenient to the Party.

In its latest move to destroy any narrative that doesn't follow its preferred version of the pandemic and accompanying vaccine rollout, YouTube, a subsidiary of Alphabet, Google's p... read more

Atmospheric Evolution on Hot Super-Earths

I suppose you could say Greg Matloff knew, at least to the point that he helped Buzz Aldrin and John Barnes come up with a plot scenario involving a planet that fit the description in their novel *Encounter with Tiber* (Grand Central, 1996), which was getting published just as the hot Jupiter 51 Pegasi b was being discovered.

US War Plans with China Taking Shape
*September 30, 2021* (Brian Berletic - NEO) - The US and its allies continue beating the drums of war in regards to China, but how serious is this? Will it really lead to war, or is it merely posturing meant to give the US the most favorable position on the other side of a fully ascendant China? A critical inflection point identified by US war planners for years is approaching, where China’s economic and military might will irreversibly surpass the US and the center of global power will likewise irreversibly shift from West to East creating a global balance of power unseen for ce... read more
