I made a couple videos covering space, which is my passion for over 30 years. In these videos you will see unknowns, check out the one from yesterday, because it confirms and cooperates what we see in the international space station live feed. Also being censored and shadow band really hard, view counts are dropping right before my eyes. I'm just a small's channel. I make no money. I do it because it's my calling & passion, etc.. . I won't be surprised this video receives the same treatments as the others from sound of freedom. Already just check my...
 

‘Early In The Morning’: The Strange Case Of Buddy Holly Vs. Bobby Darin

Udiscovermusic ^ | Paul Sexton
On a July day in 1958, the performing talents of Buddy Holly were intertwined with the writing nous of Bobby Darin. The net result was a peculiar chart battle and Top 40 hits for both of them, with “Early In The Morning.” It was the seventh of Buddy’s mere eight Top 40 singles in the US, and the tale behind it takes some believing. Written by Darin and Woody Harris, the track had a bizarre history, even by the standards of the chart battles that often took place in those days. It was recorded and released by Bobby first, not...

“Team Brandon has also made the USA utterly toxic to 80% of humanity. Sort of what they accused Trump of doing but they actually did it! LOL. They are the gift that keeps on giving.” — Jacob Dreizin. Strange doings at a strange time in a strange land. Videos of widespread military vehicle maneuvers around our nation popped up on the Web at mid-weekend while the American citizenry went about its holiday weekend business (including Father’s Day revels and “Juneteenth” celebration mass shootings): Scenes of armored personnel carriers rolling down Walnut Street in downtown Philly; B2 bomber wings over Minnesota;...
 

The Strange Pandemic of ‘White’ Disparagement

American Greatness ^ | 4 Jun, 2023 | Victor Davis Hanson
All of a sudden, the obsession with whites as a Satanic collective has become a national fad. One of the tenets of the early civil rights movement some 65 years ago was ending racial stereotyping. When Martin Luther King, Jr. called for emphasizing the “content of our character” over “the color of our skin,” the subtext was “stop judging people as a faceless collective on the basis of their superficial appearance and instead look to them as individuals with unique characters.” It is tragic that King’s plea for an integrated, assimilated society, in which race became incidental, not essential to...
 

The Strange World of “Citational Justice”

James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal ^ | May 31, 2023 | David Randall
The latest fresh hell is citational justice. Which is quotas for footnotes. Now we’re supposed to track the group identity of the authors we cite and make sure there are lots of blacks, women, and People from the Global South among them. There are already articles, workshops, library guides, and position statements on the subject. There isn’t yet an Office of Citational Justice, but a professional bureaucracy will doubtless soon supplement the mandated do-it-yourself efforts. There’s no end of word-salad articles by advocates of citational justice describing what it is and attempting to justify it. Far better than such impenetrable...

Strange Tremors Rattle Danish Island—But it Wasn't an Earthquake

https://www.scientificamerican.com ^ | May 18, 2023 | By Meghan Bartels
Mysterious reports of tremors on a small Danish island in the Baltic Sea prompted a seismological investigation that points toward atmospheric pressure waves as the possible culprit. But as with other, similar events—which are surprisingly common around the world—confirming a cause remains elusive. The tremors occurred on May 13 at around 3 P.M. local time, according to a statement from the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland, which operates two seismographs on the island of Bornholm. The seismic data showed that the tremors were not caused by an earthquake, the agency says. And although the tremors occurred about 20 minutes...
 

Russia stated that its Kinzhal destroyed 5 Patriot missile system launchers with one attack {strange when Ukraine only has 3 patriot systems}

The Russian Defence Ministry claims that five launchers of the American Patriot air defence system were "completely destroyed" by a hypersonic Kinzhal strike on 16 May in Kyiv. Source: Russia’s Ministry of Defence on Telegram Quote: "According to reliably confirmed data, on 16 May, as a result of the strike by the Kinzhal hypersonic missile system on Kyiv, a multifunctional radar station was hit and completely destroyed, as well as five launchers of the Patriot anti-aircraft missile system manufactured in the United States." The Ministry of Defence of Russia had previously stated that on 16 May, the Patriot was allegedly...

Recent reports say that six cattle died mysteriously in Texas, all with their tongues removed, the hide around one side of their mouths gone, and without any apparent bloodshed. The Madison County Sheriff’s Office released a statement saying that the cause—and time-- of death was as yet unknown.The cattle were found along Texas State Highway in three different counties, with each animal part of a different herd and in a different pasture, according to the sheriff’s office. Five were adults, one a yearling.Stranger still, in two cases, the animals’ genitalia and anuses had been removed with a circular cut that...

Strange Days! US Mortgage Rate Falls To 6.97% As Banking Crisis Persists (Yellen, Bank Consolidations, Bailouts And The Return Of QE)

Strange days, indeed. Despite endless promises from Washington DC that there would never be another bank bailout, the Biden Administration bailed out Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) by removing the $250,000 cap on deposit insurance. Then Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen added that in the future, only banks that posed SYSTEMIC RISK to the economy will be bailed out. Translation: only the big four Too Big To Fail (TBTF) banks will be bailed out. Meaning that the Biden Administration prefers big banks to community banks. “Middle-class Joe” loves BIG Pharma, BIG defense, BIG tech, BIG media and now BIG banks. He should...
 

Strange circular dunes on Mars spotted in these NASA photos

space.com ^ | Robert Lea
The slight asymmetry in the sand dunes shows their steep sides are orientated towards the south. The University of Arizona, which operates the High-Resolution Imaging Experiment (HiRise) camera used to take the image, pointed out in a statement(opens in new tab) that this indicates sands are blown southwards, though the Martian winds may be variable. The image was taken on November 22, 2022, at a latitude of 42.505 degrees and a longitude of 67.076 degrees. It comes as part of a series of pictures taken by the HiRise camera that orbits Mars on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) spacecraft. The...

NDTV ^ | Updated: March 07, 2023 12:02 IST | Aditi Ahuja
An ice cream parlour in Germany has created a new ice cream flavoured with crickets, the night insect. This bizarre ice cream made with crickets is dividing the internet. One of the most popular summer desserts, ice cream is an all-time favourite. It is no surprise that there are ice cream parlours and outlets popping up at every nook and corner during the hot summer months. From chocolate to butterscotch, strawberry to mango - there are so many ice cream flavours out there that we all love. However, one ice cream flavour from an ice cream parlour in Germany has...
 

Ohio train disaster: the blame game takes a VERY strange twist

jonrappoport.substack.com ^ | Jon Rappoport
“Hey, it wasn’t our fault! It was you!” “That’s what you guys always say. You just want us to pay the damages.” And around and around it goes. Even assuming the Ohio train disaster was a terrorist attack, lurking in the background is the day-in day-out transport of highly dangerous chemicals by rail crisscrossing the country. Who is responsible for THAT? Here’s an excerpt of a vital article from Doomberg: For its part, the freight rail companies are forced by the federal government to transport dangerous materials regardless of the peril such cargoes represent. In particular, they [the railroads] lament...
 

Astronomy Picture of the Day - Saturns Iapetus: Moon with a Strange Surface

APOD.NASA.gov ^ | 26 Feb, 2023 | Image Credit: NASA, ESA, JPL, SSI, Cassini Imaging Team
Explanation: What would make a moon look like a walnut? A strange ridge that circles Saturn's moon Iapetus's equator, visible near the bottom of the featured image, makes it appear similar to a popular edible nut. The origin of the ridge remains unknown, though, with hypotheses including ice that welled up from below, a ring that crashed down from above, and structure left over from its formation perhaps 100 million years ago. Also strange is that about half of Iapetus is so dark that it can nearly disappear when viewed from Earth, while the rest is, reflectively, quite bright. Observations...
 

This Strange Ancient 'Fossil' May Not Have Been Left by Any Living Thing

Science Alert ^ | 25 February 2023 | By CARLY CASSELLA
An example of a Brooksella 'fossil'. (Nolan et al., PeerJ, 2023) An ancient three-dimensional star-shaped 'thing' still baffles scientists more than a century after its discovery. The undetermined whatchamacallits were found in 500-million-year-old bedrock in the southwestern United States in 1896. To the untrained eye, they look sort of like bundt cakes: circular with radial lobes spreading outwards like a starfish or the spokes of a bike. At the time, archaeologists assumed these were the remnants of ancient, tentacled jellyfish, a lineage of animal that stretches back at least 890 million years. They named it Brooksella alternata, which became a...

Scientists have just spotted a strange circular filament wobbling around the sun's pole that has them really excited. A huge filament of solar plasma has broken off the sun's surface and is circling its north pole like a vortex of powerful winds, but scientists have no clue what caused it. "Talk about polar vortex! Material from a northern prominence just broke away from the main filament & is now circulating in a massive polar vortex around the north pole of our star," space weather forecaster Tamitha Skov said on Twitter while sharing a video sequence taken by NASA's Solar Dynamics...

Space.com ^ | 02/05/2023 | Tereza Pultarova published
A huge filament of solar plasma has broken off the sun's surface and is circling its north pole like a vortex of powerful winds, but scientists have no clue what caused it. Scott McIntosh, a solar physicist and deputy director at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, told Space.com that while he has never seen a vortex like this, something odd is happening at the sun's 55 degree latitudes with clockwork regularity once every solar cycle, the 11-year period characterized by an ebb and flow in the generation of sunspots and eruptions. The prominence...that McIntosh describes as...
 

Strange life forms create an “alien” ecosystem in an abandoned uranium mine

Big Think ^ | 02/03/2023 | Ross Pomeroy
In the 1960s, one pocket of uranium hidden within the mountains was transformed into a productive mine, and the massive element used as fuel for nuclear fission was extracted to the tune of more than 1,000 tonnes per year. But by 1990, the Königstein mine‘s production had fallen off, and much of the mine was flooded... Then strange life forms started to move in, prompting the mine’s keepers to call in scientists... In the damp, dark, acidic, uranium-filled environment, biofilms composed of microbes had taken over. Orange acidic “streamers” looking like long, thin worms lazily swayed in the liquid drainage...
 

Strange Days! US Adds 517k Jobs In January While ADP Adds Only 106k Jobs (Avg Hourly Earnings At 4.4% YoY While Headline Inflation At 6.5%)

Confounded Interest ^ | 02/03/2023 | Anthony B. Sanders
Strange days indeed! Today’s jobs report from the Bureau of Labor Statists (BLS) was stunning. 517k jobs added! Very strange since the ADP jobs added report on Febuary 1st was only 106k. THAT is a huge discrepancy (probably a seasonal adjustment in the BLS reporting). Average hourly earnings rose to 4.4% YoY. Too bad headline inflation is still roaring at 6.5%. So, the inflation tax is still overwhelming wage growth. The spread between the January jobs report (BLS) and the ADP jobs added report (ADP) is similar to the infamous jobs report that the Philly Fed “corrected” (orange circle). Here...
