"A Look to the Heavens"
“These three bright nebulae are often featured in telescopic tours of the constellation Sagittarius and the crowded starfields of the central Milky Way. In fact, 18th century cosmic tourist Charles Messier cataloged two of them; M8, the large nebula left of center, and colorful M20 on the right. The third, NGC 6559, is above M8, separated from the larger nebula by a dark dust lane. All three are stellar nurseries about five thousand light-years or so distant. The expansive M8, over a hundred light-years across, is also known as the Lagoon Nebula. M20's popular moniker is the Trifid. ... read more

World Bank Warns Of 'Human Catastrophe' Food Crisis
*BBC:* *Ukraine war: World Bank warns of 'human catastrophe' food crisis* The world faces a "human catastrophe" from a food crisis arising from Russia's invasion of Ukraine, World Bank president David Malpass has said. He told the BBC that record rises in food prices would push hundreds of millions people into poverty and lower nutrition, if the crisis continues. The World Bank calculates there could be a "huge" 37% jump in food prices. This would hit the poor hardest, who will "eat less and have less money for anything else such as schooling". In an interview with BBC econom... read more
Triangular Craft on Aircraft Carrier Deck and a Video from Scotland
As you all know, I have been reporting on triangular-shaped UFOs over the last several weeks. I have speculated that some of these sightings might be of military or experimental aircraft. I found a photograph of just such a triangular-shaped object on the deck of an aircraft carrier. Studying the photograph, it looked somewhat photoshopped to me because it didn’t seem the shadows quite matched. Digging a little deeper, it seems that this is a faked photo. We need to circulate this widely to make sure that all know the photograph is faked. The photograph is a fake. But are some... read more

Revisiting the Pickton Farm: Fact and Fiction
I recently saw a crazy video about the Pickton farm on Rumble that made two good points. I will set aside the crazy and address those two points. Justin Trudeau is a slimy little b*tch. His ties to Communism and the World Economic Forum are no secret. Globalism is Communism. It represents slavery and the complete destruction of civil liberty. His latest campaign is to completely destroy the freedom of the press because globalists are obsessed with censoring everything. The Pickton Farm is a separate matter and since this is our crib, I will address it. After the testimony of Janic... read more

Will we protect Finland's border and not our own?
"Should Finland join NATO, the United States, under Article 5 of the NATO treaty, would be obligated to go to war with the world’s largest nuclear power to retrieve Finnish lands that an enraged Russia might grab. Moscow has already indicated that, should Sweden and Finland join NATO, Russia will introduce new nuclear weapons into the Baltic region. Why is it wise for us to formally agree, in perpetuity, as NATO is a permanent alliance, to go to war with Russia, for Finland? Given the war in Ukraine and concomitant crisis in Eastern Europe, it is understandable why Stockholm and Hel... read more
