Shocking Photo Released By NASA In Relation
To The Sun!

NASA has released a shocking photo of the sun that looks like a ball in a volcanic eruption.

NASA, which has been continuously exploring space, has released a new photo of the sun over the past few weeks showing that the sun's emitting more radiation and increasing the amount of heat it emits.

It shows an increase in the amount of fire plumes emitted by the sun....

In addition, NASA has stated that the high levels of radiation currently emitted by these plumbing will not cause any harm to humans and that if they were to reach Earth directly, radio communications, spacecraft on the International Space Station and astronauts would be affected.

If the 2020 election wasn’t stolen:

-The 13 Marines in the botched #Afghanistan withdrawal would still be alive.
-The Taliban wouldn’t have billions of dollars of weapons.
-The wall would be completed.
-Americans wouldn’t be living paycheck to paycheck.
-Inflation wouldn’t be out of control.
-Russia would not have invaded Ukraine.
-North Korea would not have tested an ICBM missile.
-America would still be great. ????

one of America’s preferred methods of confronting its adversaries is to ‘wage war by proxy’ against them, that is, to support the war of a group or country against a rival without militarily engaging themselves.

The history of the Cold War is littered with such examples, such as America’s backing of the Mujahideen against the Soviets in Afghanistan, its assistance to Saddam Hussein against Iran in the Iran-Iraq War, or, on a more contemporary note, its failed attempt to overthrow Syrian President Bashar Assad via local rebels.

Proxy wars allow the US to minimize its own losses by having someone else die for its aims while also procuring geopolitical gain by undermining rival states, at the same time maximizing profits for the military-industrial complex by keeping the arms flowing.

Fact not Fiction.

Last night from The Independent;

Remember the song? To ad-lib it. Cash is no more. All exchanges are done via apps, chips, etc. Bank are far and few between, mostly on line and only to lend money.
Your income is added to your on-line account. All debts come out of it. You must have a smart phone. The governments have the right to access your account at will. They watch where you shop, what you buy and all you do. Even at the rummage sale.
Some people sneak around and use barter. But, the sheep say they like the convenience. Until they dispute something societal or governmental. Then their account is frozen. Need food..too bad. No money for you sucker.
Sometimes the "banks" run into a glitch. You check your account and it shows zero! You go on line and question. Chase the menu. Finally, oh..we will check and get back to you in 5 business days.
Do not get a speeding ticket. It will be paid on scene or your account is frozen. Try a protest..same thing.
Well, you say, I can control where and what my kids buy. Yep..and so can big brother control you.
1984 was not a novel..it was a warning.

Most sites I've posted to have some type of filtering. Different names for the same thing, it could be called word filtering, censorship, word block, and sometimes it's called annoying!

Profanity blocking tops the list, but all websites are not equal. We can say WTF on CS but a musician site I'm a member of doesn't allow that. You type WTF and your post will read: Oh my goodness.

Are you serious... they inserted Oh my goodness in place of WTF.

The military coined SNAFU and it's often used in TV news, newspapers and online news. Explain to your 10 year old what SNAFU means.

Lots of words get blocked here. The other word for rooster that begins with 'C' gets blocked by the filter. There's a famous British singer Joe who's family name gets blocked simply because it contains part of the blocked word. Depending on the website, that city in Thailand also gets blocked. You know, Bang....

If your name is Richard, don't expect your nickname (starting with the letter D) to pass the filter.

Buttocks... only the British version 'arse' gets through, the 3 letter word used in America is blocked. But you can say shit.

Oh, you graduated with honors? don't expect to be able to use the Latin word that goes with 'laude'

The 'C' word that describes some women won't make it through, nor will some body parts.

Consistently inconstant, but you've just got to work with it!

Nearly all the members who are active in blogs and forums have strong personalities. Some stronger than others... obviously. When a strong personality does or says something opposite to what CS wants to reflect on their site, a comment or blog gets deleted. Often as a warning and a 'time-out' should they consider the offense become more serious.

I cannot remember the number of years I've been here and how many members were banned, but it's more than a handful. Banning I believe was mostly (but not always) for political reasons. Some return with a new profile and in a short time get banned again. I think it's not for the way they behave as a 'new' member, but rather for the sins and havoc created in their previous profile.

Compared to other sites, moderation at CS is very light. I'm sure there are more important things for them to attend to aside from our little space on the internet. But when they do visit you may see several things happen in one swipe.

A few years ago their position was stated and requests from CS staff were stated as to what blogs they want to see less of. That's long gone and it's business as usual.

Last year a handful of blogs disappeared and some of the members who authored them disappeared too. While some of the blogs of the 'dearly departed' remain, most of them are unlocked. Only this week I see some long lasting blogs have been locked.

My opinion/question is shouldn't a blog of a banned member be locked or deleted too?


Oh, the difference one member can make...
