F+gatth The typical procedure followed at Maimonides was for the percipient (or subject) to arrive at the laboratory in time to meet the agent -- a person who would spend much of the night focusing upon the contents of an art print. The percipients task was to dream about this art print ever though it wo+..tld tie selected once the percipient was isolated from the agent. The percipient would also meet the two experimenters who would explain the procedures. (On a few occasions, the art print was Gelected randomly, was not removed from the sealed envelope, and no agent was used. The percipient was simply instructed to attempt dreaming about the art print.) After electrodes were attached to the percipient's head for the monitoring of brain waves anc eye movements, the percipient would have no further contact with the anent until the following morning. Ar, experimenter threw dice that, in combination with a random number table, provided a number that corresponded to one on a sealed envelope containing an art print. The envelope was opened once the anent reached his or her arivate room in a distant part of the building. This, art print became the target or, which the agent focused during the course of the night (Ullman & Krinpner, 1978). The experimenters took turn'a monitoring the percipient's sleep. Toward the end of each period of rapid eye movement (REM), the percipient was awauened nv an experimenter via intercom and described any dream content that could be recalled. These comments were tape recorded as was a morning interview in which the percipient associated to his or her dream recall..

There was also a nearly significant gaily difference (c=2.54, df=5,336, p=.03). There were neither gender by day or gender by group by day interactions. The group by day interaction was significant (p=.01) for the absolute AA values as well. Six of the experimental days involved the testing of two subjects rather than one. To determine if this slight modification in procedure may have altered the geomagnetic contribution to the psi effect, additional analyses were completed on those days (cases) where only one subject was tested.

Quote:A new teacher was trying to make use of her psychology courses.

She started her class by saying, 'Everyone who thinks they're stupid, stand up!'
After a few seconds, Little Larry stood up.
The teacher said, 'Do you think you're stupid, Larry?'
'No, ma'am, but I didn't like to see you standing there all by yourself!' �

Larry watched, fascinated, as his mother smoothed cold cream on her face.
'Why do you do that, mum?' he asked.

'To make myself beautiful,' said his mother, who then began removing the cream with a tissue.

'What's the matter, asked Larry 'are you giving up?'

Larry's class were on a field trip to their local police station where they saw pictures tacked to a bulletin board of the 10 most wanted criminals.

One of the youngsters pointed to a picture and asked if it really was the photo of a wanted person.

'Yes,' said the policeman. 'The detectives want very badly to capture him.
Larry asked, "Why didn't you keep him when you took his picture ? "

Little Larry attended a horse auction with his father.
He watched as his father moved from horse to horse, running his hands up and down the horse's legs and rump, and chest.

After a few minutes, Larry asked, 'Dad, why are you doing that?'

His father replied, 'Because when I'm buying horses, I have to make sure that they are healthy and in good shape before I buy.
Larry, looking worried, said, 'Dad, I think the milkman wants to buy Mom .....'

Quote:November 18, 2024 / Joseph P. Farrell



It's interesting to watch the world-wide meltdown and responses to Mr. Trump's re-election, and one of these I think might  - and I stress, might - be taking place in Germany. That country, it seems, has established it's own space command, according to this story from 2021 shared by M.D. As the article makes clear, Germany is certainly not alone in doing so, following the USA and France, and one must assume similar command structures in China, Japan, and Russia. The real question for me is why Germany is doing this. The article outlines the usual reasons, but also, to my mind, hints at something else:

Germany establishes new military space command

What I find intriguing about all these European powers' space commands is the curious fact that with all the Europhoria surrounding NATO and the EU, one would think that some sort of integrated command structure would be in the offing. One may certainly assume that is the goal, and that such cooperative arrangements already are in place for the various major European powers to share space information. Nonetheless, the space commands remain separate, and now Germany has joined the club, spinning off space matters from the command structure of the Luftwaffe.  So why does Germany want a space command?

The article lists the usual reasons:

Quote:The military is “responding to the increasing significance of space for our state’s ability to function, the prosperity of our population, and the increasing dependency of the armed forces on space-supported data, services and products,” the ministry said in a statement.

The rest of the article is pretty much the standard boilerplate of reasons for the command:

Quote:As with NATO, the emphasis for ASOC was more on space as a defensive domain, with the aim of protecting German systems and further investing in space situational awareness, according to the German Institute for International and Security Affairs.

Berlin is not alone in its efforts to create a separate military space entity. The U.S. Space Force was established in late 2019 as a separate military branch under the Department of the Air Force, and now boasts a separate budget line from the Air Force and its own representation on the Joint Chiefs of Staff, with Chief of Space Operations Gen. Jay Raymond. While initial Space Force personnel were transferred in from space-related units within the Air Force, the nascent service will soon welcome its first — and soon to be former — Marines, soldiers and sailors.

So there you have it: Germany is establishing its space command to protect crucial space assets that are necessary to the functioning of the German state. In other words, the reasons given are exactly the same reasons given by every other power expanding their military presence in space: the military is needed to protect the space lanes just like navies are needed to protect the sea lanes.

But I suggest that the first statement in the article gives away much deeper motivations, motivations that in Germany's case make a great deal of sense, especially given the economic setbacks the country has experienced in the wake of America's sanctions war against Russia, its attack on the Nordstream pipeline, and so on: the Germany economy is suffering, and as everyone knows, the German economy is the locomotive of Europe. To paraphrase a statement usually applied to the USA, when the German economy gets a cold, the rest of Europe gets pneumonia and the flu. It's that first quoted line from the article that has me thinking along a very different line of high octane speculation. Here it is once again:

Quote:The military is “responding to the increasing significance of space for our state’s ability to function, the prosperity of our population, and the increasing dependency of the armed forces on space-supported data, services and products,” the ministry said in a statement.

Note that this is actually an official statement of the German Defense Ministry. and one of the reasons listed for the establishment of the space command is to ensure "the prosperity of our population." For a country with an export-driven economy that is being crippled by the American sanctions regime against Russia, and therefore with a large heavy industry manufacturing base, if that nation wants to protect and preserve that heavy industrial base, it must find some way to do so. In Germany's case, it has been government policy since the end of the Second World War to keep its heavy industry, tool and die industry, and manufacture capability within German territory. This has been done by a variety of measures including subsidies. More typically, nations resort to tariffs to protect their industrial plant and manufacturing, as indeed we're hearing from the incoming Trump administration.

But in Germany's case, this route is not really feasible. The second route available to preserve a heavy industrial plant is also well known, and I submit that this may be what we're looking at here: massive military spending. In this case, space affords an opportunity for all sorts of spending to stimulate the economy and put those heavy industries to work. It provides a way for Germany to say to the USA "Look, we're doing our part; we're contributing to the defense of space assets. We're anticipating threats and being proactive in response." And so on. And the other geopolitical reality is also I work: the American empire is rapidly fraying at the edges, and cannot continue forever, and this is apparent to everyone, particularly to everyone in the capitals of America's allies: London, Paris, Rome, Tokyo...and Berlin. The bottom line is, no matter what sorts of pressure Mr. Trump may put on Europe to "do its fair share" in its own defense, the European powers are going to have to do that anyway, and the first and most vital priority is space.  Germany established this command in 2021... but now has even more pressing economic reasons to "beef things up".


It's this combination of (1) economic circumstance and opportunity and (2) geopolitical reality that is at work here behind all the standard boilerplate in 2021, imagine it now. And that "economic" factor I suspect looms large in the calculus of other space powers including the United States: the "little spats" in the Ukraine or Palestine, gruesome though they are, are hardly big enough to keep multi-trillion dollar military industrial complexes running. Truly spectacular and gigantic threats are needed...

... enter space commands, and all the UFO narratives being pushed recently, and now officially recognized and acknowledged, by governments.

The trouble is, when fabricating threats in the form of space false flags, don't be surprised if the genuine article actually shows up... And no, I don't mean just China....

See you on the flip side...

Quote:Nah, do not believe everything you read. As a German resident and politically interested person, I can assure you that the once known and envied giant is close to a financial collapse due to over-the-top, incomprehensible, foolish monetary support of:

– Muslim and African immigrants filled with hate towards the country that nurtures them, illiterate, Islam crazy and knife wielding, depending on social welfare.
– the EU. A bottomless money pit.
– Bike paths in Peru (non-existent, no joke) and similar useless development aid projects around the globe.
– Germany’s own political so-called elite and its direct environment.
– Lack of tax income since industries are fleeing the country.
– Countless German NGOs that function as messengers of positive propaganda regarding the political direction.
– Ukraine, which, after the war is over and the American retreat, will remain in Germany’s uphold until all money’s gone for good.

Summa summarum:
Germany is financially unable to conquer space.

Side effect:
Washington gets rid of the only western economic competitor.

As I've been saying...
 The world, as we know it, is about to change, for all of us. 
I think it would be unwise to get too comfortable right now in the promises of man.

The reset is coming soon.

Life As You Have Known It Will Never Be The Same Again…



Ready Or Not, An Apocalyptic Global War Is On Our Doorstep
November 14, 2024 by Michael

Have you noticed that there has been a lot of talk about “peace” and “safety” recently? After all of the war that we have witnessed in 2024, I would love for 2025 to be a year of global peace. But right now global events are taking us in the other direction very rapidly. An apocalyptic global war is on our doorstep, but most people in the western world are still in denial about what is happening right in front of our eyes.

 
On Thursday, the head of the Iranian Army warned that his nation will soon deliver a “crushing” blow to Israel…

In a Thursday meeting with family members of Major Sajjad Mansouri – who was reportedly killed during the Oct. 26 Israeli strikes – Commander-in-Chief of the Iranian Army Major General Seyyed Abdolrahim Mousavi promised a “crushing” blow to Israel.

“We will determine the time and manner of our response. There will be no hesitation when the time comes, and our reply will surely be crushing,” he said according to Tehran-based news outlet Iran Front Page News, echoing threats issued by Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei earlier this month when he said Tehran would issue a “crushing response.”

Similarly, Deputy Commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Ali Fadavi on Thursday said, “The entire world will bear witness as the complete downfall of the Zionist regime fulfills the triumph of righteousness over falsehood.”

Of course Israel has already promised that it will respond to any attack by hitting Iran even harder than it did last time.

In fact, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is suggesting that Iran’s oil fields could be a target…

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hinted that the IDF would hit Iranian oil fields should Tehran make good on its threat to launch another ballistic missile attack on Israel.

“Another attack on Israel would simply cripple Iran’s economy,” Netanyahu said in an unusual English-language message he directed at the Iranian people.

Can you imagine what that would do to the price of oil?

Israel’s defense minister wants to go a step further. He is publicly suggesting that now is the time to wipe out Iran’s nuclear facilities…

Grossi’s comments came during a news conference Thursday and just three days after Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz on Monday said that Iran was “more exposed than ever [for] strikes on its nuclear facilities.”

“We have the opportunity to achieve our most important goal – to thwart and eliminate the existential threat to the State of Israel,” he added.

If Israel goes after those nuclear facilities, there will be no turning back.

Both nations would start pummeling one another until only one side is left standing.

Meanwhile, the IDF is now bombing Syria on a daily basis…

Israeli attacks on Syria have become daily, and now the United States is ramping up its own attacks in the northeast of the country as well.

On Thursday Israeli warplanes launched attacks on two residential buildings in the Damascus suburbs – one in Mazzeh and the other in Qudsaya, which lies west of the capital. Regional reports said that many people were killed, and Syrian state SANA posted photos of bombed-out apartments.

Israeli Army Radio in a rare acknowledgement appeared to confirm the Israeli attack while claiming the fresh attacks targeted the Syrian headquarters the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) group, which is fighting alongside Hamas in Gaza, and has held Israeli citizens captive since Oct.7, 2023.

We really are on the brink of an uncontrollable regional war in the Middle East, and it should deeply alarm all of us that Turkey has decided to officially cut off all relations with Israel…

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced that Turkey has officially severed relations with Israel, according to reports in Turkish media.

News outlet Medya Ege reported Erdogan to have said, “We, as the State and Government of the Republic of Turkey, have cut off relations with Israel. We do not have any relationship with Israel at this point. Period.”

This is such a dangerous time.

Donald Trump will not take office for more than two months, and nobody in the Middle East really cares what the lame duck Biden administration has to say at this point.

I have a feeling that things will soon get really, really crazy in the region.

In Ukraine, Russian forces just launched a very large missile attack against the capital city of Kyiv…

As world diplomacy is working overtime in this transitional period in America, the Russian Federation forces continue in their overwhelming campaign against Ukraine.

After almost four months of ‘saving missiles’, this early morning (13), explosions rocked Kiev as Russia launched its first missile attack on the Ukrainian capital since August.

Kiev citizens have been expecting a missile attack for a while now, worrying that it could deal a new blow to the hobbled energy system and cause blackouts during the winter.

The Ukrainians are extremely concerned about what will happen once Trump gets into the White House, and it is being suggested that Ukraine could actually build “hundreds of nuclear warheads for rudimentary bombs” if U.S. financial support for the war is pulled…

Ukraine has enough plutonium to construct hundreds of nuclear warheads for rudimentary bombs akin to the first atomic weapons dropped on Japan by the US in 1945, a new report has revealed.

A briefing paper prepared for Ukraine’s Defence Ministry said Kyiv could develop small dirty bombs within months if Donald Trump pulls US military aid.

Despite giving up its nuclear arsenal in 1996, Kyiv is still in control of nine operational reactors and has significant expertise on how to build the weapons.

The Ukrainians are losing the war, and I think that they have become so desperate that they would actually use such weapons.

Of course the moment that the Ukrainians use a dirty bomb, the Russians will nuke them into oblivion.

Speaking of the Russians, it is being reported that 12,000 North Korean troops are now assisting the Russian Army as it attempts to retake the Kursk region…

It was revealed last month that 12,000 North Korean troops had been sent to Ukraine to fight on behalf of Russia. Now, they are reported to have been deployed to Kursk as part of the Russian counter-offensive, while Pyongyang this week ratified a landmark new defence pact with Moscow.

The North Koreans also just tested a nuclear missile that has enough range to reach the continental United States, and they continue to threaten to invade South Korea.

We will want to watch North Korea very carefully in the months ahead.

We will also want to watch the situation in Taiwan. Apparently, the Taiwanese government is interested in a “massive $15 billion military weapons deal” once Trump’s term begins…

Taiwan has told the incoming Trump administration it is interested in securing a massive $15 billion military weapons deal with the United States, the Financial Times reported exclusively on Tuesday (November 12).

Taiwanese defense has been brought to the forefront of the world stage amid heightened tensions with China, whose government denies Taiwan’s independence and wants to annex the island nation through war if necessary.

Citing anonymous Taiwanese official sources, the FT said Taipei’s inquiries about a defense deal include interest in procuring the Aegis destroyer, and possibly 60 F-35s, four Advanced Hawkeyes, 10 retired vessels and 400 Patriot missiles.

Needless to say, the Chinese would be absolutely furious if such a deal actually happens.

Our relations with China have been going downhill for quite a while now, and it appears that the incoming administration will have “China hawks” in quite a few key positions…

President-elect Donald Trump has apparently decided to appoint China hawks Marco Rubio and Mike Waltz to the positions of secretary of state and national security adviser respectively.

In addition, Fox News host Pete Hegseth – who once said “China is building an army to defeat America” to the post of defence secretary, while John Ratcliffe is set to be CIA chief. Ratcliffe has called China the top threat to American interests.

This could offer the clearest indication yet of Trump’s intent when it comes to China and Taiwan. While the presidential election winner has called out Taiwan for what he sees as stealing US jobs in the past, chances are he knows the US will have to come to the island democracy’s defence should Beijing invade or blockade.

For a very long time, I have been relentlessly warning my readers about an apocalyptic war with Russia, an apocalyptic war with China, and an apocalyptic war in the Middle East.

Two of those wars have already started, and I believe that it won’t be too long before the third one erupts.

Ultimately, historians will probably regard all of these wars as part of one gigantic global war.

We are the World War III generation, and most people out there won’t even realize what is happening until it is too late to do anything about it.

I have a suspicion that we will see some nuclear detonation in the near future. Someone, somewhere, sometime soon will strike with nuclear weapons. Before the first of this year. That is my prediction. Unnerving, I know.

I'm just glad I know the Lord. Even with the thought of all of this, I am at peace within. May God's will be done, on earth, as it is in Heaven.

If someone were to come along and bring world peace from all of this, I would really wonder what that person was.
Rumors of that Third Temple being built are floating around...

Another sick story coming out of the nations Capital with regards to child trafficking

Now here is a wild situation.

Potentially thousands of rogue illegal miners trapped underground as long as they refuse to surrender to the police in South Africa.

Quote:Mathe added the police have reason to believe the miners could be heavily armed. Hundreds of firearms and thousands of rounds of ammunition have been seized in police operations against zama zama miners since December, along with about $275,000 in cash and $1.75 million worth of uncut diamonds.
