Have a listen to Konstantin that you won't hear anywhere else. Good bonus story at the end. Only 16 minutes. He's a genuine no BS kind of guy. April 18, 2025:



I use to watch his INSIDE RUSSIA vids all the time back when he only had around 20K subs (he has a very interesting back story on his Soviet life & aftermath), then like every other channel lost interest. Today, after watching a bunch of Russian vids Konstantin pops up in my feed.

Quote:For centuries, mermaids have been the subject of myth and legend, but what if the truth is closer than we think? In this video, we present undeniable proof that scientists are struggling to debunk. From bizarre underwater footage to mysterious discoveries along the shoreline, this evidence may finally expose the truth behind the mermaid myth.

I hope this works and is more than a propaganda video

In 1979 a group of paranormal researchers began to receive a series of psychic messages that foretold a quest in search of a magical green stone. This quest would eventually lead them to uncover a once hidden secret society and a talisman that once belonged to the Megalithic people of England.

Channeled messages kickstarted an adventure across the English countryside, and a chain of increasingly bizarre experiences — from deciphering Arthurian legends and unlocking clues left behind in the 17th century, to investigating the so-called “occult murder” of Charles Walton, uncovering hidden relics and eventually battling with an evil witch coven. And that’s just part one!

This is long (2 hrs) however, she is a good researcher & story teller on this type of stuff.

12.8 billion years ago a Spiral Galaxy much like our own shone its light which has been now been seen by the James Webb telescope , the Galaxy has been named Zhúlóng taken from Chinese mythology.

Zhúlóng is similar to our Galaxy in size , mass and shape but existed just 1 billion years after the "Big Bang" making it the oldest Galaxy we have seen and another thorn in the side of the supposed Big Bang.

Quote:Previously, it was believed that galaxies like ours would take billions of years to form distinct features like spiral arms , vast star-forming disks, and central bulges of densely packed stars. Yet, rather than being the expected chaotic galactic blob, those well-ordered features appear to be present in this galaxy, which is so distant that its light has taken 12.8 billion years to reach us.

"We named this galaxy Zhúlóng, meaning 'Torch Dragon' in Chinese mythology. In the myth, Zhúlóng is a powerful red solar dragon that creates day and night by opening and closing its eyes, symbolizing light and cosmic time," team leader Mengyuan Xiao of the University of Geneva (UNIGE) said in a statement. "What makes Zhúlóng stand out is just how much it resembles the Milky Way in shape, size, and stellar mass."

A few days ago Jeff Bezos launched 6 self obsessed women to the edge of space , sadly he brought them back but in doing so he's brought claims of fakery to Blue Origin as footage of the door opening before Bezos had the opportunity to open it himself with his big wrench have raised questions about the authenticity of the event , when Bezos is seen opening the door it looks flimsy as seen when the space tourist inside opened it , another problem is the capsule door opens inward where real space capsule doors open outwards for obvious reasons.

For those with the stomach for it here's some "celebrities" floating in kinda space.
***viewer discretion is advised***


And the blooper moment that has caused the controversy.


I'm sure there's a plausible explanation for it.

Quote:April 14, 2025 / Joseph P. Farrell

Let us begin this week's blogs with a very strange story shared by S.D., and written by a Chinese woman, that argues that China's real population might be lower than the official statements by some hundreds of millions; the question is, how many?:

Lei's Real Talk: China's Population Is "Somewhere Between 300 and 400 Million"

The essence of Ms. Lei's argument is that China's population has fallen precipitously due to a combination of bad policies:

Quote:Lei says the country's population is drastically declining, due to the "Demographic Cliff" caused by an aging population after decades of the CCP's "One Child" policy, plus her estimated 400-500 million COVID deaths since the end of 2019, which she says the CCP is covering-up.
On March 12, Lei said she believed China's actual population was somewhere below 900,000,000, noting four key pieces of evidence:

1. Empty streets and markets
   
2. A drastic disparity between birth and death rates
   
3. GROK-3's estimate of the real COVID death toll
   
4. 5% of people aged 35–44 have died
   

VIDEO: “Lei’s Real Talk: 400-500 Million “COVID” Deaths in China Since 2019” - Pub. April 10, 2025 by ForbiddenKnowledgeTV.net

Quote:In the image above, Lei composed an Excel spreadsheet from official Chinese government data, which showed that 5% of the Chinese population aged 35-44 had vanished since 2019. This is the most economically-productive demographic of any population.

If one is having difficulty believing that the covid-and-quackcine planscamdemic could have such a drastic effect, the article cites western insurance actuarial data:

Quote:At the time, former Wall Street securities analyst, Edward Dowd reported that these excess deaths occurred in the US during Q3 of 2021 through Q2 of 2022 and was confirmed to him by his personal source at the Society of Actuaries. But this was only the excess deaths among Millennials with good jobs!

Dowd's continued investigations, as of May 2024 revealed that, "About 33 million Americans have been injured, disabled, or died from this vaccine, in our estimate."


• 1.1 million excess deaths
• 4 million people disabled
• 28.6 million vaccine-injured people often missing work, due to chronic illness

Lei ascribes this contemporaneous spike of deaths in China, within the 35-44 demographic – in the prime of their lives – to the "COVID pandemic", however, Edward Dowd correlates the US excess deaths, disability and injuries to the COVID injections, which he calls "The largest global crime against humanity ever seen."

The clincher may be the the Russian estimates of the Chinese population. After all, if any country poses a long-term threat to Russia, it's not so much the out-of-control USSA deep state or the kooky war-hungry nations of Europe, but China. But the Russians come up with very different figures than does the Chinese Communist Party:

Quote:Lei states Russian experts determined that it was impossible that China's population ever surged to 1.4 billion, saying:

Quote:"Other Russian experts added-up the publicly-available urban population of every Chinese city and county and got only 280 million people and based on the traditional urban-rural population ratio of 1-to-1, they estimated China's actual population being around 560 million."

Perhaps the most interesting argument, however, is from the transcript of Ms. Lei's presentation, where she is relating the on-the-ground experience of Chinese going about their every day business in Shanghai:

Quote:Across China people are asking the same question, "Where did everyone go?

Quote:(Roll several video posts by young people of what has become a viral trend in China, to describe the obvious abrupt population decline they see around them, saying that the usual influx of people returning to Beijing following the New Year holiday did not occur. Instead, the streets are empty, with a large number of homes up for rent, empty offices and no traffic at typically-congested intersections, with people asking "Where did 8 million Beijingers go?"

Shanghai residents are making similar video posts about the noticeable population decrease there and how the streets, the popular restaurants and malls are all half-empty, saying the city's famous nightlife has become much quieter. One post from a man in an A-line subway train in Shanghai is striking, with him as the sole person in the entire car.

We see similar video posts from residents and people in the real estate market of Guangzhou, the center of the largest megalopolis in the world)

Lei: What we saw is the situation in Beijing, Shanghai Guangzhou, the three Mega Cities of China and many people assume that maybe people in those large cities or Mega Cities had simply left for better opportunities in Second-Tier cities or they might have returned to their hometowns in the countryside.

Now, let's take a look at what's happening in the smaller cities.

Quote:(Roll video where young residents of smaller cities, like Zuzhai and Wuhan make similar claims to those above. One man in Suzhou remarks that the streets used to be crowded but now, they're almost deserted. He says he's heard similar reports from Shanghai, Yangzhou, Nantong, Wuxi, Changzhou and how all have fewer workers and laborers.

Others remark that the countryside is empty, too, with schools being shut down and streets and shops vacant. They report that "Society feels gloomy and lifeless" and ask "Where did our 1.4 billion people go?")

If all this is true, then it places the strategic calculation - if there was any, and I believe there was - behind the Trump administration's tough Chinese tariff policy into a very different light. If you've been following the media commentary - both pro and con - on Trump's tariffs, you'll have often heard (again from both sides) that the world markets are undergoing a long-overdue "correction" as they return from fantasy to reality. But if one of the major economic and financial players on the world stage has been deliberately lying about the size of its population, and hence, of its markets, the health and size of its financial institutions, including, above all, its manufacturing and labor potential and purchasing power, then we may, indeed, be in for a series of shocks.

In this respect, you'll note that the end of the article wonders if this practice of over-estimation of population extends to the USA, and my guess is it most probably does.  The influx of immigrants, whether legal or illegal, into Europe and the USA has to be a nightmare for  tracking and accurate actuarial of census estimations.

Perhaps, just perhaps, that is why we'll be seeing more such stories, along with calls for "real IDs" and eventually for everyone to be "chipped".  After all, it's hard if not impossible to run a beast system, if some people are not a part of the beast...

See you on the flip side.

Back in the day Haiti revolted from France. The French eventually recognized Haiti's independence but demaned payment to compensate the slave owners.
Macron’s announcement came as demand has grown for greater recognition of what France’s “independence debt” did to Haiti’s development. It also comes amid a debate about reparations, and whether there should be financial restitution for the debt.

Haiti is asking France for reparations.
I don't think it will happen.

between Haiti and VietNam, France's colonial record is not very positive

Scientists using the Webb Telescope had observed K2-18b previously and discovered the planet was about twice the size of Earth with an atmosphere that contained amounts of methane , carbon dioxide along with the hint of a bio signature  , that finding marked it out for further investigation and now comes news that 2 possible bio signatures have been discovered in the atmosphere.

Quote:Using data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the astronomers, led by the University of Cambridge, have detected the chemical fingerprints of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and/or dimethyl disulfide (DMDS), in the atmosphere of the exoplanet K2-18b, which orbits its star in the habitable zone.

On Earth, DMS and DMDS are only produced by life, primarily microbial life such as marine phytoplankton. While an unknown chemical process may be the source of these molecules in K2-18b's atmosphere, the results are the strongest evidence yet that life may exist on a planet outside our solar system.

Quote:While he is not yet claiming a definitive discovery, Madhusudhan says that with powerful tools like JWST and future planned telescopes, humanity is taking new steps toward answering that most essential of questions: are we alone?

"Decades from now, we may look back at this point in time and recognise it was when the living universe came within reach," said Madhusudhan. "This could be the tipping point, where suddenly the fundamental question of whether we're alone in the universe is one we're capable of answering."

Let's talk about issuing Letters of Marque in the modern era... and why American pirates might not be as crazy of an idea as it seems. Calling all pirate wannabees ! I want to know how the payment schedule will work and do Drones count ??

Way back when Privateers could own "cannons" would this mean we could buy 105s and 155s for our paddle boats... Heat seeking moisture missiles or drones might work best with less recoil ?? !!

If this goes through I might start a flag company as no respectful pirate wannabe can sail forth into battle without a show of colors IMO.. In this case the Red flag with all its meaning might be very popular ??
