A Trump Lawyer is covering what and should be done to the swamp critters in the DOJ and how so many of the American citizens were wronged by government lawfare. I do hope the political crooks are outed and legally burned..

Looks like a very rare BBC documentary series unseen since 1975 with a young David Attenborough just surfaced, in restored quality.



Travelers' stories have long fueled beliefs in the existence of dragons, giants, sea monsters, mermaids, and magical unicorns in distant corners of the world. David Attenborough investigates these legends to uncover the truth.



All 6 episodes are available to watch on Youtube

His channel has other rare/lost/forgotten nature documentaries along with other long lost random content. He also has an Internet Archive site.

Some newspaper headlines about Donald J. Trump's re-election from around the world.

Quote:An all-out cartel war just exploded south of the border in Mexico and now officials are warning the violence could spill into the United States. A mile from the Texas Mexico border Cartel Gun battles resulted in six people killed and vehicles with Texas license plates burned and shot to pieces - this is all according to state police. Written by: Chris Cappy and Diego Aceituno Edited by: Savvy Studios But there is one other organization that might stand in the way of the cartel - aside from their own factions. The Mexican military has been deployed to stop the war. They’ve been tasked with urban combat in a city with a population of 1 million people, a difficult job for any unit. Squads of soldiers are seen pictured in luxury apartment buildings and homes in the city’s center, some of them bombed out burnt up cartel living rooms. Gun Battles between Mexican soldiers and the cartel have sent locals diving for cover in super markets and cafes. In response Cartel members set fire to vehicles and left them in the middle of the road in an effort to block military reinforcements from reaching the city. Still over 125 armored vehicles have arrived.

I've authored a thread where we discussed things of a very dark nature. We took that discussion deep down the rabbit hole of thought, and it was a hard conversation, but one that I feel was necessary. But, I'd like to flip the script completely, and show the Light that is inside of me, that has guided me through this dark world. A world that is becoming more and more void of love. Soon, it will be in utter darkness, and things like love and compassion will be forgotten completely. 

First off I'd like to say, that loving people who agree with you is too easy. Loving the people in your church is too easy, even if you don't like them. Loving your family is required. 

Loving your enemies takes Christ like strength.

I've been wanting to present this especially to my elders. I've heard a particular rhetoric for far too long, and I'd like to address it. This discussion is mostly for those of Christian faith, but love does not require a religious order, so feel free to jump in.

I'd like to give a couple of examples to lay out my thoughts for you all. I'd like to share a couple of examples of what Loving, or not loving, your enemies might look like.

Imagine I'm an elderly man, living with my elderly wife. We have succeeded in life, have great memories, have built up a nice home and family, and most importantly have built up our faith in Christ God Almighty. Basically we are two elderly folks who have lived a good life, and know our souls are going to heaven when we die.

Me and my wife are sitting on the couch, watching Matlock, when there's a loud bang. A young man has just entered my home, and is going to rob us of our money and jewelry. I have many weapons in the home, so I have a choice.

I could kill this dude, or I can try and save him, or show him mercy. 

Hate will kill this young man in a heart beat. It would be easy to pull that trigger. I an well within my rights. But, am I prepared to take the life of a young, possibly misguided soul, over a few thousands bucks, or so?

If he kills me and my wife we go to heaven to be in paradise. 

If I kill this young man, who is just a teenager who got mixed up in drugs, and has never had the opportunity to "know Christ," If I kill him now, he will probably go to hell (according to my religion).

Or, should I show him mercy, even to the point of "sacrificing my own life" to either try and reach this young man, or simply show him the mercy he may of never received from anyone else before; and maybe just maybe that act of mercy will resonate with that young man,and thus lead him to his own Salvation in the Lord?

Which act shows "love?"

Second example
I'm a middle aged man who is divorced. I get news that my x-father in law is going into surgery and could possibly die.

My X father in law has done nothing but hate me, demonize me, try and kill me, or have me arrested. All this man has done is spew evil and hate and judgement at me.

But, I have Christ in my heart...

Should I be happy that an "enemy" is going to die, and boast in this knowledge and "praise God" that an evil man is about to die?

Or...do I have compassion on my enemy, and pray with the same love, and hope that I would pray in, if it were my own child....or, my own life?

Which of these show love, and which of these show a void of love?

Anything void of love is "evil."

I've learned the answers to these questions. When we take out compassion for others, even our enemies, we are stepping outside of love; outside of The Holy Spirit, and we are stepping into the flesh, and darkness, evil spirits, demonic thoughts and actions.

They do no know how to love, or have compassion, or have mercy, and most of all----they don't know how to show Grace.

Evil will always have a "good excuse" as to why they can kill, steal, or destroy."

There is a monumental difference here. We are either guided by love for others, or we aren't. 

There is no middle ground. There is no such thing as "lukewarm love."

Thank you, Rogue-Nation.

Looks like Trump has won (unless last minute cheats work this time around) Also Senate and Congress has republican majority...

Let the riots and cry babies scream at the sky and moon while America is stopped from falling off one more deadly cliff of the socialist communist welfare state.

...buried deep in the pacific. 

I thought this was kind of funny, as well as interesting. 

So, here we go. 
Follow the Yellow brick road.

Scientists Found a 'Yellow Brick Road' at The Bottom of The Pacific Ocean
by carly@sciencealert.com(Carly Cassella)

An expedition to a deep-sea ridge, just north of the Hawaiian Islands, revealed a surprise discovery back in 2022: an ancient dried-out lake bed paved with what looks like a yellow brick road.

The eerie scene was chanced upon by the exploration vessel Nautilus, while surveying the Liliʻuokalani ridge within Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument (PMNM).



PMNM is one of the largest marine conservation areas in the world, larger than all the national parks in the United States combined, and we've only explored about 3 percent of its seafloor.

Researchers at the Ocean Exploration Trust are pushing the frontiers of this wilderness, which lies more than 3,000 meters below the waves, and the best part is, anyone can watch the exploration.

A highlight reel of the expedition's footage published on YouTube in April 2022 captured the moment researchers operating the deep-sea vehicle stumbled upon the road to Oz.


"It's the road to Atlantis," a researcher on the radio can be heard exclaiming.


"The yellow brick road?" another voice counters.

"This is bizarre," adds another member of the team.

"Are you kidding me? This is crazy."

Despite being located under about a thousand meters of ocean, the lake bed discovered by researchers on the summit of the Nootka seamount looks surprisingly dry.

On the radio, the team notes that the ground looks almost like "baked crust" that could be peeled off.

In one tiny section, the volcanic rock has fractured in a way that looks strikingly similar to bricks.

The researchers found the discovery to be very unusual. 

"The unique 90-degree fractures are likely related to heating and cooling stress from multiple eruptions at this baked margin," reads a caption to the YouTube video.

At first glance, the effect is easily mistaken for a path to a wonderful new world. And in a way, that's not altogether wrong.

Following the brick road is a sign we're headed in the right direction and could soon learn a whole lot more about Earth's hidden geology.


How could a road be almost a thousand feet down at the bottom of the ocean? There's no way a road can sink, in tact, that far, and land constructed like that. Not even a section of it, I would think, but I could be wrong.

Could it of lead to an ancient city under the ocean?
The road to Atlantis, maybe?
It just baked that way?
Either way pretty cool; fun to speculate. 
The Yellow brick road has finally been found; and Dorothy was a long way from Kansas.

The Box (2009) - Empathy testing and Water Coffin Triptych. A seriously underrated movie.

Norma and Arthur Lewis, a suburban couple with a young child, receive a simple wooden box as a gift, which bears fatal and irrevocable consequences. A mysterious stranger delivers the message that the box promises to bestow upon its owner $1 million cash with the press of a button. However pressing this button will simultaneously cause the death of another human being somewhere in the world; someone they don’t know. With just 24 hours to have the box in their possession, Norma and Arthur find themselves in the cross-hairs of a startling moral dilemma and must face the true nature of their humanity.

Wiki | IMDB



The main characters, Norma Lewis (Cameron Diaz) and Arthur Lewis, were based on director Richard Kelly's parents. His mother also suffered a crippled foot after an X-Ray mishap; his father worked for NASA and co-designed the camera used on the Viking Mars Landers (as in the movie). The film takes place in December 1976.




Not the greatest production but definitely intriguing high strangeness film which led me to American Symbolist/Golden Age muralist, illustrator, and painter Edwin Austin Abbey.

Quote:The Arthurian Round Table and the fable of the Seat Perilous.
Led by Joseph of Arimathea, Sir Galahad approaches King Arthur's Round Table and the Seat Perilous. No man had yet sat with safety in the Seat, as only a blameless occupant can do so without being killed instantly. The knights of the Round Table watch in horror as Sir Galahad assumes the Seat, but the young and pure knight survives. Thereafter, the structure is known as "The Seat of Galahad." -- Adapted from: An outline of this version of the legend by Henry James. [ca. 1893–1895]

Canvases completed in Abbey's studio at Morgan Hall in England and later shipped over to Boston for installation in 1901. Canvas applied to the walls of the Book Delivery Room using an adhesive technique called marouflage.

Edwin Austin Abbey (1852-1911) was a young, highly regarded illustrator for Harper's Monthly magazine, but had never completed any work in oil paint when he was approached for the mural commission. The Philadelphia-born artist lived most of his life in England, where he befriended artist John Singer Sargent. In 1890, Abbey and Sargent dined with Charles Follen McKim, Stanford White, and Augustus Saint-Gaudens in New York, where architect McKim convinced him to consider painting a mural cycle in the Boston Public Library's Book Delivery Room. Upon visiting the library during its construction with McKim, Abbey agreed to undertake the project and signed a contract to complete the work for $15,000 in 1893. He selected a subject of "legendary romance" in The Quest for the Holy Grail, basing his work upon Alfred, Lord Tennyson's version of the Arthurian tale.

The Arthurian Round Table and the fable of the Seat Perilous

Quote:Well, I am still sitting here waiting for the inspector to show up, and thus still trying to catch up on this week's blogs, and this story is a humdinger of a whopper doozie, if true. It was shared by M.D., with our dep gratitude, and, as the headline observes, comes from my alma mater, the University of Oxford:

Researchers generate black hole ‘plasma fireballs’ on Earth

What I want to draw attention to for the purpose of today's high octane speculation is not so much the concentration on black holes and singularities, and so on, but this:

Quote:Black holes and neutron stars are the most compact objects in the universe. Around these extreme astrophysical environments exist plasmas, the fourth fundamental state of matter alongside solids, liquids, and gases. The intense gravity of these dense objects pulls in nearby matter and also causes them to shoot out powerful jets of plasma, mainly made of pairs of electrons and their antimatter counterpart, positrons. While these jets are often seen in space, creating them in a laboratory has proved highly challenging so far.

Now, for the first time, an international team of scientists has successfully created high-density plasma beams in the lab containing around 10 trillion electron-positron pairs. Such a large number means that the beam behaves as a true plasma (with wave-like activity) and not just a collection of particles.
...
‘The laboratory generation of plasma “fireballs” composed of matter, antimatter, and photons is a research goal at the forefront of high-energy-density science,’ says lead author Charles Arrowsmith, from the Department of Physics at the University of Oxford. ‘But the experimental difficulty of producing electron-positron pairs in sufficiently high numbers has, to this point, limited our understanding to purely theoretical studies.’


Along with researchers from the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Harwell, the group designed a novel experiment harnessing the HiRadMat facility at the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) accelerator at the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva, Switzerland.
...
Essentially, the beam generated at CERN had enough particles to start behaving like a true astrophysical plasma around a black hole. (emphasis added)

Now I find all of this extremely interesting and intriguing for a number of reasons. Firstly, in my book The Third Way, I noted that when CERN's Large Hadron Collider first came on line, a number of people around the world expressed concerns that it would really be used to create and research suingularities, like quark-gluon plasmas and black holes and so on. At the time, this was roundly denounced and rejected. Now, it appears that the goal has finally tacitly been admitted.

The second thing that now appears to be admitted - and again I have speculated about this in connection with CERN before as well - that another goal of the project is to be able to create anti-matter in large amounts, and to perfect the means of its storage and  manipulation. In short, I've always suspected that the true purpose of CERN was military in nature, and not simply for "pure science." For those who may have forgotten or may not remember, a matter-antimatter reaction is a total annihilation reaction, it releases "gimongous" amounts of energy, and there's little to no "residual stuff" left over.

Now what's interesting here, as I pointed out in my recent book The Demon in the Ekur, Angels, Demons, Plasmas, Patristics, and Pyramids, is that plasmas have a unique membrane-like structure that can actually function as a means of keeping anti-matter and matter separated and contained, a possibility that was first pointed out by the Nobel laureate Swedish plasma physicist Dr. Hannes Alfven, and which was elaborated by his student, Dr. Anthony Peratt. To put the significance of this point rather differently, let us ask a basic question: if one wanted to weaponize matter-antimatter reactions, what basic steps in the technology tree would be necessary? And the answer is (1) a source for massive amounts of antimatter, (2) a means of storing and manipulating it, and keeping it out of contact with matter until the right moment: enter plasmas, and their charge membranes.  Indeed, a plasma could conceivably be used to carry that matter-antimatter to a target, and to be "detonated" there via some process that would collapse that membrane. (And if you've really been paying attention, try an electro-laser.)  And that would, indeed, be a "thunderbolt of the Gods," one that could leave a vast planetary scar on the surface of Mars, or, perhaps, even blow up an entire planet.

In that respect, recall that the late US Naval Observatory astrophysicist, Dr. Tom van Flandern, proposed that a planet in our own solar system exploded aeons ago. When it came to proposing a mechanism capable of doing that, Van Flandern proposed that somehow, in the interior or the planet, a mass of antimatter had somehow managed to accumulate and remain contained, until the containment broke down and... KABOOM, the planet exploded. Might he have been thinking of plasmas in a planetary interior? Very possibly. It is also worth noting that Dr. van Flandern also had difficulties with his various proposed models, and eventually, and reluctantly proposed "deliberate action" or even a "technological mishap" as the reason for the planet's explosion.


Perhaps, in trying to divine the past, Dr. van Flandern had managed to peer into present secrets, and prophecy a grim future. In any case, howsoever one may interpret his prescience, this announcement seems to me to have about it the characteristics of a message, and the message is We can do this, we've taken the first steps. So who is the message for? Russia? China?  It seems to be a rather hamfisted message to send just for invading the Ukraine...

...or the message could be intended for "someone else"...

See you on the flip side...
