On the face of it more sabre rattling or perhaps gunboat diplomacy from the US but should it go further it seems to me Putin is losing allies quite quickly these days.

Quote:Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA – As he was returning to the US from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, US President Donald Trump told the press aboard Air Force One that an American “armada” is heading toward Iran. That armada is a US carrier strike group led by the USS Abraham Lincoln, which was reported on January 20 as having departed its previously assigned patrol area and was steaming towards the Middle East.

Deploying the carrier has come as a reaction to the rising death toll from the Iranian clerical regime’s crackdown on a nationwide wave of demonstrations. The death toll from that revolt has, according to official government admissions by the government in Tehran, risen to at least 5,000 unarmed protestors having been killed by the security forces, activists said.

However, the actual number of those killed is now suspected of being as high as 20,000 or more. Internal sources in Iran have cited previous estimates in that range. Still, they have usually been aggregate totals extrapolated from information provided by hospitals and medical workers in major cities, then passed on by activists leading the demonstrations.

On Friday, Tehran dismissed as “completely false” Trump’s assertion that his threats of using military force had halted the mullahs’ planned executions of more than 800 protesters that had previously been arrested. Trump had stated that any such killings would be a red line that would force him to launch military action.
“I said, ‘If you hang those people, you’re going to be hit harder than you’ve ever been hit,'” the US president told reporters in the Air Force One press contingent as he returned from the Davos forum. “And an hour before this horrible event, they canceled the hangings, he said. “That was a good sign.”
“I stopped 837 hangings on Thursday, would have been dead, every one of them, mostly young men,” he said on Air Force One.
Referring to the carrier strike group scheduled to be on station today, Trump added, “Maybe we won’t have to use it.” The United States has “a big force going to Iran. I’d rather not see anything happen,” he added, but “we have a lot of ships going that direction just in case.”
In addition to the carrier and its flotilla of support vessels, the US has also dispatched additional aircraft and land-based air defense systems, per statements from Pentagon officials. For its part, the UK said it would send RAF Eurofighter Typhoon jets from 12 Squadron to Qatar, at Doha’s request.

Interesting discussion on some of the wars we the west were ready to fight....Kinda !!

in case you hadn't heard; US ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) has been conducting operations tracing and taking into custody illegal aliens in the Minneapolis area.

these operations have been met with major resistance.  The resisters call themselves 'protesters' but it would be more accurate to call them rioters.  They have been blocking streets, blowing whistles, setting off fireworks, throwing projectiles (like frozen water bottles) and other interference.

its unclear how many of these interferers are native to the twin cities area, and how many are outsiders, even 'professional agitators'.

public officials, including the Governor of Minnesota and the Mayor of Minneapolis, have taken the unprecedented step of encouraging the interference.
personally, I have never heard of government officials interfering with government law enforcement operations.

last week, on January 18, a group stormed into a Christian church, shouting and otherwise interfering with the service.

the US government has arrested three of the individuals responsible.

I'm glad they did.  Churches are open to the public, but they are NOT open forums.  only selected individuals may speak.
this church disruption was totally illegal and immoral.

Taking a page from ESP manuals two alt right stooges switches off their thinking brains and talk about UFO's 



Never heard about Kurt Metzger, he is a funny guy.  It's good seeing two dudes just talking, I actually learned some stuff. Very refreshing.

Two things I have been thinking allot about recently is how some people never seem to make any progress researching the phenomena and how others becomes totally siloed.

Some conclusions I have made is there is a lack of experience and expertise, or skill basically. You guys want to figure stuff out all scientifically and shit but you never learned how to learn.

Firstly you must experiment. Do you remember your science classes from school? Lessons had experiments, you have to do the thing to learn the thing. You can't just read or talk to people. What is the point of just talking and reading? How do you make your conclusions? Even with just the most simple things that seem obvious on paper when you build the model your learn a 1000 new things. There is allot to say about using your body during learning, you can't just use your eyes and read or just listen to someone talk.

You must read allot from allot of source. You cannot just read one page from one author and think you know what's going on, you can't just listen to somebodies take on youtube of a topic. You need to read many books from different authors. I even read the peoples biographies. I'm reading like 20 books at the moment, I never just read one book or one at a time. AI gives you a summary at best, it's very superficial. Even when you tell it to give you more info and to go deeper repeatedly you will have to do this until it gives you as much info as there is in a book. Now why don't you just go read the book...???!

Guess I'm lecturing people know but whatever.

On the topic of lacking experience. Besides from having a photographic memory (yes i know) the thing that's helped me the most is having experiences particularly on the paranormal side. It's very easy for me to go hmm yeah this person is talking about what I have seen myself but there is some differences, oh they don't actually know they were just was reading a paragraph somewhere or it's all just made up.

What's wrong bro? Why are you dumb, just go out and see a ghost or a ufo..yes I know this is ridiculous

Okay so reading Ingo Swann's manual on ESP he is saying the number one way to convince anyone is for them to have an experience. I disagree and it's relevant to the UFO topic.

If you have the experience alone you will never know if it was real, there will always be doubt. You might even dismiss events completely. If I lived alone and didn't have pets I would have checked myself into an institute long ago. ANYTHING I experience while on my own I remain skeptical about.

So find a friend and do stuff together. Go watch the stars at night, play ESP games etc. Get a cat a dog or a bird if you are on your own. I have long since decided the reason for familiars is very much this. If you dog is pissing itself and running for cover then your probably not hallucinating.

"Michael Oswald's film The Spider's Web reveals how at the demise of the empire, the City of London's financial interests created a web of secrecy jurisdictions that captured wealth from across the globe and hid it in a web of offshore islands. Today, up to half of global offshore wealth is hidden in British jurisdictions and Britain and its dependencies are the largest global players in The Secret World of Finance." This is a damn good docu, imo.

Did Moses pen the Pentateuch?
Or, did he have scribes?

Moses, purportedly, inscribed the second set of tablets, himself...
'God', purportedly, inscribed the first set of tablets...
Were they, both, inscribed in the same language...?
If so...was it in what we know as "Hebrew"?

Today, 'Scholars' say that the language we call "Hebrew" did not 'come about' until approximately 1,000 BC.
How long does it take, for a language to become a language?

Another video of the non-existent flying Doritos that has been reported for many years. There are several pictures and discussions of the possible so called, "Black Triangle" which may interest those who are inclined to wonder about such things. Enjoy

Quote:Did an adventurous YouTuber manage to capture images and video of a new American stealth aircraft that’s so classified that we don’t even know what it is? That is the distinct possibility we’re facing as these images captured by the YouTube channel Uncanny Expeditions hit the internet last week.

Quote:URANIUM ENRICHMENT…IN ANCIENT EGYPT!?!?!?

January 19, 2026 / Joseph P. Farrell

We start off this week's blogs with a bang (quite literally) because of an important article that P.T. spotted and shared (with our immense gratitude). In fact, I'm so grateful for this story not only because of its contents, but also because it gives me a reason not to have to blog about geopolitics, finances, the cultural meltdown of the West, Islamunism and New York mayors, &c &c. Except, alas, in this case there are some intriguing geopolitical implications, but we will return to those.

As you can tell from reading the headline to this blog, P.T. spotted an article about the presence of uranium in Egyptian burial mastabas. Now, I've written about this strange presence in Egyptiuan monuments before. See, for example, any of my books on the Great Pyramid-as-weapon hypothesis, or blogs on this site, such as https://gizadeathstar.com/2025/04/the-os...r-reactor/

But this current article goes much farther:

The Pharoah's Curse: New Evidence of Unusual Deaths Associated With Ancient Egyptian Tombs

Now, if this were simply another article reporting on the presence of uranium at various ancient Egyptian archaeological sites, or the latest attempt to hypothesize some scientific basis and explanation for "the curse of the Pharaohs" I would, of course, be interested and intrigued, but I would hardly be as exercised over the article as I am about this one. This article, however, argues that not only was there an intentional presence of uranium at these sites, but that in addition to being intentional, it was also... well, I'll let you read the article from pages 45 to 47 yourself:

Quote:The Book of the Dead also made a distinction between the prior kings of the Old Kingdom versus ordinary mankind who were characterised (in translation) as ‘common folk’ (Faulkner, 1972, Sp. 38B, 42, 65, 69, 161, 182); noting that the transformations of Osiris [into light] were not understood by mankind, because it was an exceedingly great mystery which no man knew. It was an abominable thing not to be disclosed to those who dwell in the swamps. (Budge, 1895, pp. 187, 217, 219; Budge, 1901, Chapt. CLXIII, p. 535). The magic of transformation was not just a secret but a terrible, dreadful thing not to be revealed. The old texts were overlaid with symbolic religious rituals and language in a childlike attempt to imitate the earlier gods, but there remains clear textual and physical evidence of the original literal content. The outcome was vividly recounted in the funerary texts, albeit in personified language. Osiris came forth from the House of the Rising Sun (akhet, horizon), from  the Island of Fire, where his body was filled with magic. Flame went up from the pyramid, causing fear and trembling in those who watched. He rose in the mountain (pyramid) with a double plume of rays of tu rquoise light to the height of heaven, flooding the world with light. The [two] apertures of the sky windows were opened, the sky reeled, the earth quaked (Faulkner, 1969, Utt. 477, 479, 482, 485, 503, 508-510, 536, 584, 604; Faulkner, 1973, Sp. 30, 283, 317,422, 573, 609, 650, 707, 753, 849).


The source of the power of transformation was the invisible ‘efflux’ from the magic offerings. Osiris declared (in the Coffin Texts) - I have power by means of offerings; I go forth by means of the efflux; by means of the magic; take the efflux so you shall not be inert; go forth from the burning fire; I have eaten the magic of the spirits of the magic food; the souls are in me, the shades are in me; I am transformed into mighty spirits; I shine in the sunshine, from the efflux. I am the primeval one; my soul possesses power in its primeval form. (Faulkner, 1973, Sp. 95, 101-2, 246-7, 317, 469, 573, 690, 705, 824, 829, 936, 895). The magic food was detailed as tchefau, light food in the form of cakes and ale (or bread and milk). Cakes of saffron were brought to him [Osiris]; he was given saffron cakes in the coffer; the cakes of saffron are the eye of Horus. (Budge, 1895, Chapt. XVII, pp 52-53, Figure 1). Saffron (yellow) cake was further detailed in a series of Food Spells in the Coffin Texts where the efflux came from magic food of [unknown hieroglyph] in portions of 2-3- 5; the movement of the sunshine was provided in meals of 2-3-5 portions (reversed in the hieroglyphs) (Faulkner, 1969, Utt. 205, 409; Faulkner, 1973, Sp. 191, 209, 211, 212, 217, 218, 587, 659, 667; Figure 2). Yellowcake-235 is recognisable now as the crude ore of uranium-235 (U235), the primary fuel of modern nuclear technology. Crude yellowcake is insufficient to cause a nuclear reaction and must be enriched to a higher concentration, which has the form of a chilled milky liquid. That process was also detailed in the Coffin Texts in recognizable terminology. The food [yellowcake] was made pure, and the milk was restored to its proper level. Osiris declared - I am the son of the Milk Goddess. My mother gave censing of incense (efflux). I suckled my mother (for milk) of the rotting putrefaction (decay). He swallowed the spirits; he received pure offerings whose names and shapes were unknown. (Faulkner, 1973, Sp. 529, 467-8, 335, 306, 1017). Elsewhere the Pyramid Texts presented similar detail - Osiris received the milky fluid from the breasts of Isis; he received the efflux from the cold drink; the efflux of decay; the cold drink is yours, efflux is yours, the powers are in it. (Faulkner, 1969, Utt. 413, 470, 661, 423, 536, 553, 676, 679). (Emphases added)

Now, this is jaw-dropping for several reasons, not the least of which is (1) ancient Egypt (or rather, whatever civilization engendered it) not only had an awareness of radioactive material, but had some, perhaps primitive, perhaps more advanced means, of enriching it.  The article spends much of its time investigating radiation-caused cancers as being an explanation for the "curse of the pharoahs" and the mysterious deaths of people in the archaeological teams investigating ancient Egyptian sites, including burial sites. Additionally, the article mentions a fact about the Great Pyramid that virtually every researcher in the alternative research community who has ever investigated the structure has known for a long time: there appears to have been, at some time in the distant past, an explosion that occurred inside the structure, which left the surface of the granite in the so-called King's Chamber vitrified, and the stones themselves offset from their  careful alignments.

The takeaway is breathtaking: there was an ancient (probably very ancient) technology of isotope enrichment.

We may surmise that this had to be a very ancient technology because as the article also points out, some sort of knowledge was lost in the transition from "divine" or "semi-divine" kings, and the human kings who succeeded them in Egypt, a distinction that clearly emerges in the Egyptian King's list of Manetho. Those divine and demi-god(half human, half "god) kings ruled, according to Manetho's list, tens and hundreds of thousands of years ago, long before conventional academic narratives state that dynastic Egypt came into existence.

There is also something else implied in the article, even more breathtaking, and this brings us to "jaw-dropping reason" number (2): the radioactive material appears to have been involved in some sort of technological version of life extension or "immortality", and in conjunction with the Great Pyramid itself. Exactly what, or how, this occurred neither the article, nor we, know.

We may, however, speculate, and with this speculation we have arrived at our daily nosedive off of the speculation tree's uttermost twig, into the canyon of speculation below, for nuclear reactions involve the creation and manipulation of plasma, and if you've been paying attention lately, there is a highly speculative hypothesis being entertained in some circles that some plasmas might actually be very different, and very strange, forms of life, and moreover, that some of them might actually be intelligent, possessed of kinds of "light bodies".  There is even a version of the hypothesis that maintains that all organic life has some connection to a subtle plasma life which actually enlivens or animates it.  If that is the connection, then it would go a long way to explain why pyramids - at least in Egypt's case - have long been almost subliminally associated with death and immortality. It might also have a great deal to do with why some ancient texts describe the Great Pyramid as a tremendously powerful weapon, and why wars were fought over its possession.


And finally, it might explain why there is so much interest by the great powers to dominate that region. The USSA did, after all, invade Iraq to forestall its development of weapons of mass destruction. As I've argued many times, perhaps that was not as much the lie that people have made it out to be. The lie was only about what kind of weapons of mass destruction they were seeking to prevent Saddam Hussein from developing, for they were not the modern weapons at all, but as I have argued, very ancient ones...

See you on the flip side...

This one comes up often, a sudden gust of wind accompanying all sorts paranormal activity.  

Sometimes I get a breeze during mediation that uhm, slivers around me and gives chills. Slivers, perhaps not the right word but it's definitely tactile, you can feel it go around gently. Maybe a different thread for 'spiritual chills'

A story for today...a couple of months ago meditating in the garden. There was a sudden gust of wind, 'it' blew in and made a little whirlwind coming up from the ground and then whoooosh 90 degrees into a plant. I couldn't see 'it' clearly, it was moving too quick, a flash of light picking up dirt as it blows around. It was a hard knock on the plant, just one branch. About 3-4 feet of the ground.

This is a horrible story... One more reason to never be subservient to idiots.

Quote:Eighteen thousand feet beneath the Philippine Sea, a submersible descends through absolute darkness. The pilot guides the craft toward twisted steel that has rested untouched for seventy-two years. Then the floodlights illuminate something that should not exist. Evidence scattered across the debris field that contradicts everything the United States Navy has told us about the worst disaster at sea in American naval history. For seven decades, the story seemed settled. The USS Indianapolis delivered components for the atomic bomb, got torpedoed by a Japanese submarine, sank in twelve minutes, and nine hundred men spent four days in shark-infested waters before rescue. A tragedy, yes. But the Navy said they knew what happened. Captain Charles McVay was court-martialed and found responsible. Case closed. Except the submersible footage tells a different story. One that implicates not Japanese torpedoes, but American decisions made in classified rooms before Indianapolis ever left port. And what those cameras found inside the wreck suggests the nine hundred men in the water were not just fighting sharks and exposure. They were dying to protect a secret that three admirals and a president decided was worth more than their lives.
