to hold steady the sacred fire
1) Thus by the serpent philosophy of the egalitarian way of all equality among all evolutions you find that lightbearers have no sense of their worth or mission or of their God-determi­nation at inner levels to lead all people out of the control of fallen angels. Therefore they are lured into these alliances at all levels of crime and entanglements, and the seed of light is diluted: it is overcome, it is betrayed. And we will discover as we see in my transmission to you this day of a necessary knowl­edge that this does result in the watering- down of the total planetary Christ consc... read more

Nature Erases Pulses of Human CO2 Emissions
Those committed to blaming humans for rising atmospheric CO2 sometimes admit that emitted CO2 (from any source) only stays in the air about 5 years (20% removed each year) being absorbed into natural sinks. But they then save their belief by theorizing that human emissions are “pulses” of additional CO2 which persist even when particular […] read more

*Full screen recommended.* Dan, iAllegedly 6/16/22: *"The Fed Rate Hikes Have Finally Killed the Banks -* * Real Estate is Crashing"* "The Fed has raised interest rates with the largest single increase in over 28 years. This is absolutely huge for so many reasons. The Fed thinks that they’re going to curb inflation with this increase. In January they said that they intended to bring inflation down and have basically done nothing but watch it go up and raise interest rates a couple of times." read more

Security In Iraq June 8-14, 2022
Security in Iraq remained largely the same from the first to second week of June. That meant very little activity by either the Islamic State or pro-Iran groups and few casualties. There were a total of 12 security incidents reported in the media from June 8-14. That was double the number the week before. The increase was largely due to more attacks by groups aligned with Tehran. Those elements carried out 4 incidents. A convoy working for the U.S. was bombed in Salahaddin, A drone hit Irbil wounding three civilians, while rockets were fired at a Turkish army base and an ... read more

"A Look to the Heavens"
“Riding high in the constellation of Auriga, beautiful, blue vdB 31 is the 31st object in Sidney van den Bergh's 1966 catalog of reflection nebulae. It shares this well-composed celestial still life with dark, obscuring clouds recorded in Edward E. Barnard's 1919 catalog of dark markings in the sky. All are interstellar dust clouds, blocking the light from background stars in the case of Barnard's dark nebulae. For vdB 31, the dust preferentially reflects the bluish starlight from embedded, hot, variable star AB Aurigae. Exploring the environs of AB Aurigae with the Hubble Space Tele... read more
"The Cruelest Joke Of All..."
"The smallest decisions made had such profound repercussions. One ten-minute wait could save a life or end it. One wrong turn down the right street or one seemingly unimportant conversation, and everything was changed. It wasn't right that each lifetime was defined, ruined, ended, and made by such seemingly innocuous details. A major life-threatening event should come with a flashing warning sign that either said ABANDON ALL HOPE or SAFETY AHEAD. It was the cruelest joke of all that no one could see the most vicious curves until they were over the edge, falling into the abyss below... read more

A teensy, tiny glimmer of hope for polar bears
A polar bear in Svalbard, Norway, stands on a melting glacial iceberg. | Paul Souders/Getty Images Global warming is still threatening polar bears, but new research complicates the story. You know the image well: A lone polar bear, stranded on a piece of floating sea ice. Sometimes the bear looks emaciated. It always seems to look sad. Decades ago, powerful images like these came to represent the wrath of climate change. They tell a compelling story: Global warming is melting Arctic sea ice, which polar bears need to survive. Without it, they’ll perish. This is a true story. I... read more

Rural Europe Takes Action
We feel like we are sandwiched between unfair market competition at the bottom and unfair production regulations at the top. The industrial baking industry has all the comparative advantages of size, it uses standardized raw materials and many types of additives. We have all the disadvantages of standards tailored to industrial production. These rules have not been adapted to the possible risks of our small-scale artisanal production methods. With lower production volumes and higher labor costs, we are disproportionately burdened by these over-regulations, which hardly help to fu... read more
Spiritual Leader Sadhguru Takes 100-Day Motorcycle Journey To Save Soil
More than half of the world’s agricultural soils are already degraded, and both scientists and UN agencies agree that the remaining soil will only take us another 40 to 50 years. Yet despite the threat this poses to biodiversity, the climate and global food security, soil health receives less attention than other looming environmental crises. That’s why yogi, mystic and visionary Sadhguru has set off on a 100-day, 30,000 kilometer (approximately 18,641 mile) motorcycle journey to save soil. “Everybody knows the problem. Everybody generally knows what is the solution, but they’ve ... read more
3 Anti-Inflation Alternatives to Raising Interest Rates
A deafening silence defines “debates” among U.S. leaders about stopping or slowing today’s inflation. Alternatives to the Federal Reserve’s raising of interest rates and curtailing money supply growth are ignored. It’s as if there were no other ways to rein in price increases except to add more interest costs to the already excess debts of workers and small and medium businesses. Were the last two and a half years of the deadly Covid-19 pandemic, plus the economic crash of 2020, not sufficient enough burdens on Americans without piling on the additional burden of inflation that has... read more
