There was a lot of chatter about the solstice and the 'Great Conjunction' of the near alignment of Jupiter and Saturn happened this evening.

Oh, you missed it? I read it will happen again in 800 years!

While it's considered a phenomenon, I'm a bit disappointed and I was expecting it to have more brilliance.

South Florida had 63F degrees and not a cloud in the sky.

My best view was standing in the open section of a golf course, where it was visible in the southwest less than 20 degrees above the horizon.

"That's it!"
"No, it can't be."
"It's gotta be it... nothing else in sky."



She said "Enough, let's go home!"
"Yeah... Okay."



A few news stories called it the Christmas Star and compared it to the biblical Three Wise Men guided by a star.
Let's talk facts:
It's 2 planets (not a star) and lasts less than an hour. Those guys had traveled a while.

....I don't know, something to do with airline transmissions. However, it makes me wonder if there isn't something more behind the scenes....like maybe some of those concerns those rascal conspiracy theorist and scientists had.

It begs the question....why is 5G rolled out elsewhere in the world then?

This corresponds uncannily to transformative events in U.S history.
Each event involved a prominent person - the Indispensable Man, one might say.

Each of the men was born in/near the sign of Aquarius and each birth date was progressively earlier by 10 days or so.

In the Real World, one must come to accept that some do not agree with you.

In the Real World, for instance, a woman may reject a man's advances, and for the most part, the man will accept that rejection and move on to greener pastures. Others, however, will be enraged by the rejection and become furious, their need for control overweening.

This inability to accept the disagreement may have pathological roots, specifically, in a grouping of mental conditions which psychologists call THE DARK TRIAD:

In the world of psychology, the term “Dark Triad” refers to the degree to which an individual manifests the personality traits of narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy. People who score high in these 3 areas are less empathetic, less agreeable, less satisfied with their lives, and less likely to believe in the goodness of themselves and in humanity. People who score high on these traits are also more likely to commit crimes, not fit in socially, and be disruptive. Hence the word “dark” in describing this triad of personal characteristics.

Those with the trifecta of Dark Triad personality traits, therefore, can end up being a high powered corporate executive, a politician, or Ted Bundy. The level of narcissism required to be Dark Triad is intense and deeply internalized. The individual deeply believes they are superior to everyone else, their self love is ridiculously high, ... It does not matter if the Dark Traid’s self-confidence is substantiated or not... The Dark Triad person shows no empathy and will feel no remorse for bad and immoral behaviors. This ability is a skill to the Dark Triad Individual in our tough and unforgiving society, but it is defined as a serious mental disorder for a reason.


Sometimes, people disagree.

And inability to accept disagreement can be sign of a deeper problem.

Food for thought.

The Dark Triad personality is interested in anarchy at the expense of others, and they want to fuel social disruption.

I have heard bits and pieces on the news lately, but nothing really in great detail that I can recall. A buddy of mine came over last night and he mentioned about an attack on the U.S. embassy in Cuba. Actually, the way it sounds, it is an ongoing attack.

After doing a Google search to find out more details regarding it, we discovered the level of the attack. They say it is a strange and mysterious sound that some of the people involved in the attack are hearing. Now, that seems rather harmless...but it is far from it. First of all, this sound is totally unidentifiable as to where it is coming from. It is suspected that it is coming from some distant location. It is also unknown who is behind it. What is even more concerning is what these sound waves are. According to what we read, they are microwaves and they have the capacity to fry...create heat...like your microwave in your home, I suspect. I did hear on the news were those who have been attacked, actually had (I believe) physical changes done to their brains.

We were unable to discover what, if any, long term effects a person suffers from such an attack. If these microwaves are as they report, I can imagine, it cannot be good.

One can ask so many questions:

How is this even possible?
What or who is causing it and for what reason?
Where is it coming from?

In addition, what about the question:

If everyone on this planet were unified, would this have happened in the first place?

Just like with a society, you divide them, they are able to be conquered. Can that same philosophy be used with a planet of people?

An asteroid flew past us the other day.
It was the size of a pick-up truck and missed the earth by only 240 miles.
In solar system terms, that real close.
I've driven more than that (on Earth) in only 6 hours or so
and I guarantee, the asteroid was traveling a lot faster than 60 miles per hour.
I wonder how long before that one orbits back around.

Today From The Miami Herald;

Here's an interesting video from NASA on close asteroids.
At the time of this video, one was on it's way to be near Earth, but not anywhere as close,
as the one that most recently passed.

While doing my work, the television was still on the Channel it was on earlier in the day, National Geographic. I don't usually watch that channel and am not very familiar with their programs. But last night, I found they had a very interesting show on having to do with King Tut and the contents of his tomb. There were a lot of things they mentioned on that show that went against common belief about the King himself. However, what I found even more interesting, they were showing items never seen before. Of these things never shown before, there were two items that just stuck out to me...and to the creators of the show also.

They each had their own sarcophagus. There were two "babies" buried with Tut.

Where do I go from here....hmm. If I only knew how to upload images of these so-called babies, I am sure one could guess where I a going.

I believe I shared this story on here once before, but here is just a quick rendition of it. About 20-ish years ago, living in the countryside of America, with my nearest neighbor about a 1/4 mile away, something dug up a single plant I had. The previous day I planted it, and surround it with vegetation...the darn thing was only 2" tall. After I was done planting it, I could not even see it myself. But, anyway, I knew the exact area it was. The next day I go out to that exact area to check on it...to only find a freshly dug hole. A hole probably 10" wide by about 8" deep...nothing huge. The dirt from the hole was sitting off to one side and in that fresh dirt was a footprint the exact shape of a human's footprint....the heal, the arch, the toes, and the wedge shape. Dumbfounded by this, I thought to myself, if this was a human that did this, most likely there should be fingertip marks on the walls of the hole. I checked that, and sure enough, there were small rounded tip marks that had scraped and running down vertically the walls of the hole.

I asked my gf if I could borrow the birth certificate of her son's....because it had his infant footprint on it. I took it out there and compared it, not only did it look identical but it was also the same size. I figured whatever dug out that hole was the size of a newborn.

Okay, now back to the show. Both of the "babies" they claim, were still born and were Tut's unborn children. I am not an expert on what stillborn babies look like. But, I have seen a couple of UFO shows in the past few years where people who claimed to have seen aliens described what they seen to artists and sketches have been drawn of those people's accounts. In my opinion, the "baby" on the right (since the only thing that really exists are photos of Tut's "unborn babies," you can see which one I am referring to) looks pretty much identical to these artist's alien drawings. The only thing that does not match, is the height of them.

The thing that baffles me...even the show creators found these never shown beings significant...why were they never shown before? In addition, why were they not better preserved? Anyway.....

Happy Monday folks.

So a video has been posted that infers the CEO of Pfizer did not get vaccinated, as usual, it's a crock of lies

I can accept having a vaccine is a personal choice, but when people lie to try and persuade others NOT to have a medically sound vaccine that can and has saved lives, that is just abhorrent to me, just how low will these people sink?

"The interview in which Bourla says he has not gotten vaccinated took place with CNBC on Dec. 14, three days after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued the first emergency use authorization for the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.

Since the interview, Bourla has been vaccinated, and 28.6% of the U.S. population has received at least one dose and 15.8% have completed vaccination, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

"That report is categorically false," Pfizer spokeswoman Sharon Castillo told USA TODAY via email. "Dr. Bourla has been fully vaccinated with the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine."

It is hard to list Man's most important discoveries. It is super embarrassing when we realize we keep learning things, then forgetting them only to realize it was all written down tens of centuries ago and we as a species were just too stupid to understand what was plainly written long, long ago.
Archaeology began as a science sometime in the 1600s. It's early goal was not just the study of ancient civilizations, but rather instead to construct a timeline of them that fit in with the Bible teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. Churches funded much of the early research and published many findings we know today to be pure balderdash. Originally church 'scientists' claimed Man was only about 5,000 years old as a species. Since this fit nicely in the Biblical timeline it was for centuries so taught in school. Later of course deductive reason, new concepts, and new discoveries had by the early 20th century resulted in teachings Man was 20,000 years old and reality conflicts with biblical timelines were blamed on poor translations and a lack of understanding of the Word. Again Balderdash.
Today we know more. We know human skeletons just like our own have been found and dated as being 200,000 years old. We know we coexisted side by side with various other hominid species on this world. We can prove sometimes Man and Neanderthal lived together and actually mated. We know something really bad happened around 85,000 BC and all the other Hominid species died and even we shrank from several hundred thousand pairs to only about 1,000 breeding pairs on the whole planet. Then came the last great ice age and whatever there had been went under a half mile of grinding ice that erased any traces of a civilization. Only o*al tales remained for a long time.
What of the Bible you ask? Well ignoring the events of the First Council of Nicea, at it's core the Bible is based on the old Hebrew scriptures. They themselves had been mostly o*al and weren't compiled and written until the 3rd century AD. Early church financed archaeologists had accepted the Hebrew as a historical account. Today we know that somewhere in changing from an o*al history to a written one many truths were forgotten or distorted by the committee that chose which lines to keep and which ones sounded better.
Even more shattering is the relatively (past 40 years) discovery that the Hebrew scriptures were and are simply badly plagiarized excerpts of older tablet texts of the Sumer people who had themselves expended great effort into putting everything known onto clay tablets (millions of them) and buried them in underground libraries. After the great flood when the ice wall holding back the waters covering Europe and most of Asia broke (around 15,000 BC) the flooded Sumer civilization ceased to be and refugees settled in what we later called Mesopotamia and Babylon and Egypt. Amongst the Sumerian refugees in Egypt was a man named Abraham. Things were happening in Egypt and what became Lebanon and the time of the great lament (millions dying) was at hand. Abraham tweaked some of the older teachings and came up with a short hand o*al history of what had been before. Today we call that Genesis.Others continued the work after Abraham had passed, but it was an o*al history passed down from father to son in continuously longer and longer recitals as more and more was added. Without boring details, the tribes of Hebrews split up and dispersed, so that 2 or 3 thousand years later there were different o*al history versions.
On of the very early Genesis concepts which has caused much debate is the use of the Hebrew word Ragiya. Loosely the word translates in English as firmament. You will find it early on Genesis 1:6 and up to about 1:20. In 1:20 we see birds fly UPON the ragiya, not in it, so the firmament is not atmosphere. It is not earth either as the passages describe the earth dividing the waters. .End part 1

The last ice age ended approx 25 thousand years ago. How did it end? Well, according to scientific studies, the earth tilted slightly on its axis and as a consequence, the planet began to warm up.
It did not increase in temperature due to cave dwellers driving cars or lorries, or flying aircraft or factories blowing out smoke filled with carbon dioxide or the burning of coal and use of oil fired boilers or exploitation of oil fields.
The climate changed because of nature's interference, not the activities of humans. We cannot overcome how the sun operates or the position of the planet.
