The talented Blue Grass group The Cleverlys covers the Bangles hit Walk Like an Egyptian and the result is comedic genius that sounds great. The spastic, twitchy, hilarious and gifted drummer is “Digger Jr. Jr.” who has been missing from the band for nearly two years. Whatever happened to him, The Cleverlys need to bring […]
Recipe for a Revolution
In what could become the most spectacular solar event of an already eventful year, Comet Lovejoy (C/2011 W3) is racing towards solar doom today. With a coma that appears to be larger than Jupiter and with a tail stretching for tens of millions of miles, Comet Lovejoy is the first sungrazing comet observed directly from […]
Deposed Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi was reportedly killed today. While members of the United States Government celebrate his killing, this video depicts a very different man and a very different Libya than the demonized images seen in mainstream media over the last year. The simple fact is that we do not have to struggle and […]
Your family will be in our prayers.
The largest cometary impact of the sun that I have ever witnessed occurred this weekend triggering a significant coronal mass ejection (CME). The animated GIF below shows the event. The coma of the comet was bigger than the earth (although the nucleus was certainly much less massive) and its tail stretched for several million miles. […]
This is the second installment of a series of informal blog posts about these eminently important topics. You can read the first post here. From all available scientific information, Comet Elenin is nothing special. In fact, it looks to be a boring, barely observable fizzy little conglomeration of rock and ice hurtling quickly through the […]
For several months I have needed to write an important article following up on my Georgia Guidestones research. A good introduction to that research is here. However, my business is keeping me very busy and has made it impossible for me to spare enough time to write a proper article. Since so little time is […]
A dear friend of mine, Richard Russell, has passed away. It is a sad day. Richard is responsible for the most important benchmark on the planet, the Windows Experience Index, a project he managed for Microsoft. Prior to working at Microsoft, Richard worked for AMD. I worked alongside Richard on the BAPCo consortium where he […]
Three simultaneous blasts occurred at three different government buildings today in Fuzhou, China. The explosions were possibly the result of car bombs, according to Aljazeera. Explosions are reported at three government buildings in an eastern Chinese city, possibly caused by explosions in cars, according to state media. The nearly simultaneous blasts happened in Fuzhou city, […]
Only a month or two after it was published, a detailed report that I wrote was wiped out during a BrightSideOfNews* hard drive crash. That exhaustive report, praised by many throughout the industry as the finest of its kind yet produced, examined the emerging and inevitable ARM versus x86 clash. It took a little while […]
Two different European earthquake monitoring sites (here and here) reported an 8.4 earthquake deep inside the Libyan desert about 30 miles southeast of Sinawin on May 19. The epicenter was approximately 120 miles south of the Mediterranean coast and roughly 200 miles southwest of Tripoli. Here are the earthquake details: Date: Thu, 19 May 2011 […]
An unnamed comet appears to be on an impact course with the sun. It should strike the sun within the next two or three hours. Here is a video showing the comet plummeting into the sun with a CME erupting roughly simultaneously on the opposite, earth facing side. The following YouTube video gives an even […]
The Russian news service RT reports that besieged Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi was targeted by Western powers not for humanitarian reasons or even for oil. Instead, Gaddafi is in NATO’s crosshairs because of his push to abandon the U.S. dollar to unite Africa and Muslim countries with a gold-backed currency. “It’s one of these things […]
Sixty-six years after the official announcement of Adolf Hitler’s death, the President of the United States celebrated the successful assassination of Osama bin Laden on the Pagan holiday of Maypole day. Ignoring the guilt or innocence of Osama bin Laden or whether or not he actually died years ago as some allege, deliberately slaying a […]
While not nearly as large as last weekend’s event, a coronal mass ejection (CME) occurred today and the ejecta appears to be earthbound. According to government simulations, a portion of the CME wavefront is expected to hit our planet on Sunday, April 10, 2011, around 10:40AM Central time. According to data from the same site, […]
An ongoing coronal mass ejection (CME) has been captured on the COR2 Ahead solar satellite. The CME appears to be even larger than the solar eruption occurring on March 8 that preceded by a few days the magnitude 9.0 Tōhoku, Japan, earthquake and resulting tsunami. The relative size of the sun is shown as the […]
According to American television station KIRO, 200,000 U.S. personnel are currently being evacuated from Japan to cites along the U.S. West Coast. The Seattle, Washington, based broadcaster states on its website: The USO said about 200,000 U.S. personnel are being evacuated from Japan to U.S. West Coast cities including San Diego, San Francisco, Los Angeles […]
I have been very concerned about the fear mongering and outright hysteria that has erupted as a result of the ongoing Japanese nuclear catastrophes. I have attempted, through mostly anonymous channels, to dispel and debunk some of the most egregious hoaxes, misconceptions, misinformation and profiteering that have exploded since the tragic March 11th Japanese earthquake […]
According to a Japanese report, radioactive cesium has been detected around the number one reactor of Japan’s Fukushima nuclear power plant suggesting that a core meltdown may already be underway.
Apparently, two volcanoes located on the Russian Kamchatka peninsula erupted strongly almost simultaneously with the devastating Tokyo earthquake. The primary concern at this moment appears to be the impact that the volcanic ash will have on air travel throughout the region.
One of the strongest earthquakes ever recorded struck 230 miles east off the coast of Tokyo earlier today. The most powerful quake to hit Japan in over 100 years, the massive shock has triggered tidal waves that are racing across the Pacific and that have already wrecked devastation onto many areas of Japan. At least […]
The results from a recent MSNBC poll show that nearly 80% of the respondents want fluoride additives removed from drinking water supplies. Out of a total of 6,984 responses, 5,479 or 78.5% are against water fluoridation.
UPDATE: Below is a video of the recent and impressive solar activity. It’s worth watching all the way to the end. A very large coronal mass ejection (CME) was caught today on cameras from the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO). The sun’s relative size can be seen by the white outline on the occlusion disk […]
Several NASA scientists have openly refuted claims made last week by fellow NASA scientist Richard B. Hoover of discovering extraterrestrial fossils within a sample of French stony meteorites. In an apparently condescending and dismissive remark, NASA’s Carl Pitcher is quoted as saying, “He [Hoover] clearly does some very interesting microscopy. The actual measurements on these […]
