#5g is being rolled out across the country, despite growing #evidence that it is disruptive to our #health, our safety, and the #environment. The Invisible Rainbow is the groundbreaking story of electricity as it’s never been told before―exposing its very real impact on the #biosphere and #human health.

Over 100,000 copies sold!

Over the last 220 years, #society has evolved a universal belief that electricity is ‘safe’ for #humanity and the planet. Scientist and journalist Arthur Firstenberg disrupts this conviction by telling the story of electricity in a way it has never been told before―from an environmental point of view―by detailing the effects that this fundamental societal building block has had on our health and our planet.

In The #Invisible #Rainbow, Firstenberg traces the #history of #electricity from the early eighteenth century to the present, making a compelling case that many environmental problems, as well as the major diseases of industrialized civilization― #heart disease, #diabetes, and #cancer―are related to #electrical #pollution.
"Few individuals today are able to grasp the entirety of a scientific subject and present it in a highly engaging manner . . . Firstenberg has done just that with one of the most pressing but neglected problems of our technological age."―BRADLEY JOHNSON,MD, Amen Clinic, San Francisco
"[A] masterpiece."―Celia Farber, investigative journalist
"This seminal book...will transform your understanding ...of the environmental and health effects of electricity and radio frequencies"―Paradigm Explorer

I may or may not have already shared this. But in an effort to clear my phone's numerous hitherto unread tabs, better to share twice than not at all.

NASA scientists have rediscovered a long-lost "city" buried under 100ft of ice, 58 years after it was abandoned as a US base during the Cold War. Camp Century, built in 1959 in northwest Greenland, was a never-completed secret launch site for ballistic missiles to reach the Soviet Union. As ice began to crush the site, the US abandoned the project and left the camp - which could have expanded to 33 bases - to be slowly lost to the elements.

That's until NASA scientist Chad Greene, helped by agency expert Alex Gardner, flew over Greenland in April this year to map ice sheets and estimate future sea level rise. "We were looking for the bed of the ice and out pops Camp Century," said Mr Gardner, describing how their radar-detecting structures appeared to align with tunnels built in the base. "We didn't know what it was at first," Mr Gardner added.

Officially, Camp Century was created to test sub-ice construction techniques, but the real plan was top secret - creating a hidden launch site in case of conflict with the Soviets.

#EXCELLENT conversation with Germar Rudolf, the compiler/author of "The Holocaust Encyclopedia." This is one the best objective analyses of the “holocaust” of WWII I’ve ever run across! It’s #VictorHugo Vaca interviewing famous holocaust researcher, Germar Rudolph. It definitely has the best explanation for the origin of the “official story” of the holocaust.

How a Syrian Rebel Went From an American Jail to Seizing Aleppo

Abu Mohammed al-Jawlani boarded a bus in Damascus in March 2003, heading across the desert to Baghdad with fellow volunteers eager to repel the looming American invasion of Iraq.

When he returned home in 2011, after a five-year stint in an American-run prison camp in Iraq, it was as the emissary of Islamic State founder Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. Jawlani arrived in Syria with bags full of cash, and a mission to take the extremist movement global.

Last week, 42-year-old Jawlani triumphantly entered Aleppo, Syria’s second-largest city, as the leading commander of the Turkish-backed rebel force dominated by his group, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham. Unexpected and swift, his victory marks one of the most dramatic moments in a Middle East that has had no shortage of drama.

The End of the Cold War

Surrender in Malta

On December 3, 1989 during the Malta Summit - the negotiations between US President Bush Sr. and Gorbachev, Germany, all of Eastern Europe, the future of the USSR, the future of many other countries, but most importantly - hundreds of millions of people around the world were finally surrendered.

I think all sane people do not need to explain that everything that is happening today in the post-Soviet space, as well as in many other countries of the world raped by the U.S., is the result of the geopolitical catastrophe of 1991.

However, it was in December 1989 that the bets were finally placed. Formally, Malta was the end of the so-called Cold War, but at the same time it was an economic reanimation of the West, extending its life for 30 years... Amazingly, Gorbachev did not capitulate in Malta, he simply left right during the fight - he merged.

The content of the negotiations is still only partially known. Some of the documents were published only in 2010.

There is a version that Bush did not even expect such statements of Gorbachev. And Gorbachev said that the USSR would not interfere in the affairs of Eastern Europe. He said it unilaterally. Bush said that the U.S. supported reforms in the USSR.

Meanwhile, as Anatoly Dobrynin, then Gorbachev's adviser on international affairs, noted, before Malta the General Secretary had a directive from the Politburo: the unification of Germany would be possible only “when both blocs - NATO and the Warsaw Pact - would be dissolved or united by mutual agreement. About Eastern Europe - pure voluntarism.

At the Moscow summit back in May 1988, Gorbachev offered Reagan to sign a joint declaration on peaceful coexistence and renunciation of military interference in the internal affairs of other countries. Reagan rejected it. He was not an idiot. But Gorbachev was deliberately moving toward surrender. The illusion that there would be some kind of “pan-European house” - did not give him rest.

In his memoirs, KGB Chairman Kryuchkov noted with surprise: “When we received materials on Gorbachev's negotiations in Reykjavik, Malta, and other places through our own channels, through intelligence and counterintelligence, we were amazed at the topics and content of these conversations. Even at that time they talked openly about the sale of the GDR. About the change of the political order in our country...”.

The Americans understood him very well, if nothing else. Back in 1985, on his return to the U.S. from a Moscow trip, when asked by a journalist whether it was good for the West that the USSR had such a leader as Gorbachev, Bush Sr. (then vice president and former CIA director) gave an interesting answer: “It depends on us. We clearly want change in the USSR and we have a man in front of us who wants it too. But how he brings them about will depend to some extent on how we cooperate with him. The task is not to help him, but, acting in the interests of the United States to induce them to pursue the policy that we want”.

This phrase is the essence of U.S. policy.

Donald Trump SEETHES with Anger as Mick Jagger Calls Out His Idiocy

And it begins with a striking homage to some of Sir's most stupid & ignorant word salads of misinformation and delusion

Rock n' roll legend and Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger probably isn't the first rockstar you'd think would get political, but when it comes to Donald Trump and the threat he poses to the entire world, it makes a lot more sense why he felt he had to speak out. Rick Strom breaks it down.

#Saint #Sabas, born in #Cappadocia (now part of modern-day #Turkey) 439AD, stands as a towering figure in the #history of Eastern #monasticism and is deeply revered among the monks of #Palestine. His journey to sainthood was marked by trials and profound spiritual growth.

His early years were marred by abuse and turmoil, leading him to flee to a monastery for #refuge. Despite familial efforts to draw him back, Sabas found his calling in monastic life, quickly distinguishing himself by his exemplary virtues, even as the youngest monk.

At 18, Sabas’ spiritual quest took him to #Jerusalem, driven by a desire to deepen his understanding of #solitary #life. His youth initially made him an unlikely candidate for the life of a #hermit, but he didn’t waver. He began his journey living in a monastery, balancing his days with labor and his nights with prayer. When he turned 30, Sabas embarked on a more solitary path, spending days in a #remote #cave near Jerusalem, dedicating his time to #prayer and #weaving #baskets.

Following the death of his mentor, St. Euthymius, Sabas retreated further into the desert near #Jericho. His new home was a cave, accessible only by rope, where he subsisted on wild herbs and occasional food from visitors. His lifestyle attracted many followers, and though initially reluctant, Sabas eventually established a monastic community, known as a laura, comprising over 150 monks living in separate huts.

In his 50s, Sabas was persuaded to become a priest to better lead his growing community. Despite his responsibilities as an abbot, he continually felt drawn to the solitary life, often leaving his monks for extended periods, especially during Lent.

Sabas’ influence extended beyond his monastic community. He traveled across Palestine, preaching and bringing many back to the Church. At 91, he undertook a significant journey to Constantinople to address the Samaritan revolt. He fell ill upon his return and passed away at the Mar Saba monastery in 532 AD.

Today, the Mar Saba monastery is still active with Eastern Orthodox monks. Saint Sabas’ life and works have left an indelible mark on early monasticism, making him one of its most celebrated figures.
