our brain & radio waves
It has been said that our brains have been mapped out and very much understood by scientist that they now have radio waves they can send out to interfere with how our brains operate.
Quite honestly, from what I have been running into with people and how they are, I think there might actually be some truth to that.
What are your thoughts...if you have any?
Get it? If you have any thoughts...if the radio signals have not blocked out your ability to think.

A small trial finds that hydroxychloroquine is not effective for treating coronavirus
April 3, 2020 8.40am EDT Updated April 3, 2020 10.10am EDT
On Saturday the Food and Drug Administration approved the use of two antimalarial drugs, hydroxychloroquine and a related medication, chloroquine, for emergency use to treat COVID-19. The drugs were touted by President Trump as a “game changer” for COVID-19.
However, a study just published in a French medical journal provides new evidence that hydroxychloroquine does not appear to help the immune system clear the coronavirus from the body. The study comes on the heels of two others - one in France and one in China - that reported some benefits in the combination of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin for COVID-19 patients who didn’t have severe symptoms of the virus.
I am a medicinal chemist who has specialized in discovery and development of antiviral drugs for the past 30 years, and I have been actively working on coronaviruses for the past seven. I am among a number of researchers who are concerned that this drug has been given too much of a high priority before there is enough evidence to show it is indeed effective.
There are already other clinical studies that showed it is not effective against COVID-19 as well as several other viruses. And, more importantly, it can have dangerous side effects, as well as giving people false hope. The latter has led to widespread shortages of hydroxychloroquine for patients who need it to treat malaria, lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, the indications for which it was originally approved.
The idea that the combination of hydroxychloroquine with an antibiotic drug, azithromycin, was effective against COVID-19 gained more attention after a study published on March 17. This study described a trial of 80 patients carried out by Philippe Gautret in Marseille, France. Although some of their results appeared to be encouraging, it should also be noted that most of their patients only had mild symptoms. Furthermore, 85% of the patients didn’t even have a fever – one of the major telltale symptoms of the virus, thus suggesting that these patients likely would have naturally cleared the virus without any intervention.
In another study, posted on medRxiv, which has not yet been peer-reviewed, Chinese scientists from Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University, in Wuhan, China, gave hydroxychloroquine to patients with only mild infections who were free of medical issues, similar to the Gautret study. The results showed that the 31 patients who received the drug showed a lessening of their symptoms 24 hours earlier than patients in the control group. In addition, pneumonia symptoms improved in 25 of the 31 patients versus 17 of 31 in the control group. As noted in several of the comments associated with the manuscript, there are issues related to the translation of the paper, thus clouding interpretations of some of the results. The paper also appears to focus more on pneumonia than COVID-19. However, these issues may be cleared up or addressed once the paper finishes the peer-review process.
But two other studies have conflicting results.
A second French group, led by Jean-Michel Molina, has now tested the hydroxychloroquine-azithromycin combination treatment in 11 patients at the Hôpital Saint-Louis in Paris, France, and their results were strikingly different.
Like the Marseille study, the Molina trial was also a small pilot study. Molina and colleagues used the same dosing regimen as Gautret. In contrast, however, to the Gautret study, eight of the 11 patients had underlying health conditions, and 10 of 11 had fevers and were quite ill at the time the dosing began.

Species
Forget RACES, Forget SubSpecies. These are destracters.
Biologically speaking Species is defined as organisms which through the exchange of genetic information produce Viable Offspring. For mammals (and that includes Homo sapiens) the exchange of genetic information is achieved through s*xual Intercourse.
Yes, interbreeding is possible across species lines, as in the case of a Horse and Donkey producing a Mule. But the Mule is sterile, ergo can not be considered a Viable Offspring.
For those who think Phenotypic Expressions like skin color, hair texture and eye shape define a species are flat out wrong. Humans are humans, the world around. Blue Eyed Blondes are NOT genetically superior. Nor are the sons of millionaires and billionaires.
Lastly this not a discussion about the use of cryspr to edit genes and the ramifications thereoft.
IF you think otherwise - get over yourself.

rules would mandate increased sales of electric or other zero-emission vehicles in California, beginning with 35% of 2026 models. In 2035 sales of all new gas-powered cars would be banned. Currently only about 12% of new car sales in California are zero-emission vehicles. :
Presumably that'd include Gov't Emergency Vehicles like, say fr'instance FIRE TRUCKS -See the Vid & Use Y'all's IMAGINATIONS!!!
Aurora Borealis...
It's reported in the news that the Aurora borealis also called the Northern Lights will be visible in several US states and parts of Canada next week. Weather permitting, the activity will be high July 12th and 13th.
The phenomena is described as electrically-charged particles (ions) in solar winds that come from the sun. They move away in waves or a stream of plasma (ionized gas)
coming in contact with the Earth's magnetic field. Some of the ions become trapped and will consequently interact with the Earth's ionosphere causing the ions to glow.
Seen in a clear night sky, it creates a moving shimmering mostly blue-greenish light affect.
This video shows TIME-LAPSE of the lights in Norway 2022:

Talk of UFO's have now progressed.
Before the talk of UFO's was, do they exist? Now it is, what do they want...what is their motive?
As one prominent scientist has pointed out....they are way more advanced than us. If they wanted to destroy us, they easily could have already did that.
There is talk that they may want a one government world.
If this is their motive....what are the advantages and disadvantages to this?
One advantage I can think of....is no more war. Why would one fight against itself?
One disadvantage is....corruption. Is there a way to mitigate corruption today? With technology, it might be possible.

On this date in 1969...
On July 20th, 1969 two American Astronauts, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the Apollo 11 Mission, landed on the moon.
I remember watching TV at the home of Billy and Bobby Robbins (singer and bassist for the rock band Fantasy) while their drummer Greg stated "Wouldn't it be funny is the moon were really made of cheese?" Maybe Greg had been smoking something.
This was a time long before the digital age and much of the equipment used by NASA was analog. I remember someone saying many of the calculations used on this flight were done by slide rulers...
Are you kidding me?
Some say it was a hoax and that America was in a cold war with Russia so the entire mission was staged. Possible?

got hospital?
I used to work for a custom cabinet shop that did a lot of projects for designers.
Typically, they would ask how soon they could get a wall unit and the boss would (sarcastically) reply "Quicker than you can write the check."
Earlier in the week, China announced they would build a 1,000 bed hospital in Wuhan city within 10 days as necessary for the corona virus.
The media in the first few days showed lots of photos and videos of earth moving equipment clearing land at the site. Several days of playing the same videos actually became annoying.
The due date is February 3. What's the update... got hospital?
Checking early today, I see the same photos from day one.
The whole world is watching.
Maybe they are on schedule, but if I were doing an update on the project I'd be using a new set of photos. Perhaps there is a holdup on funding...
Okay, later this evening, I found some updates.

Year Of The Ant
Everywhere I look, all I see is fking ants. All around the house and property and not only me. Seems like there is an explosion in the ant population this year and everyone is having issues with them. Fortunately they are common black ants and not red one's but they still get into everything.
Gonna need lots of ant traps

Facinating
There was a wicked intense wind storm cross over my province a few days ago. Apparently, this happened.
