You are right. I've thought of this. We are experiencing a great deal of cold and rain. A very strange "off" spring.
Now this: Notre Dame is structurally unsafe and “could collapse completely” if winds in Paris reach 55mph, engineers warn The world mourned after the iconic cathedral caught fire on the evening of April 15. More than 400 firefighters battled the flames, which quickly spread along the roof structure, causing burning timbers to collapse onto the ceiling of the vault below. But initial assessment of the damage reveals that the vault damage has weakened the walls, which could fall in if weather conditions are poor enough. After the fire, that destroyed the spire and large parts of the roof, Notre Dane is structurally unsafe and could collapse with strong winds, a new report by engineers has claimed. Paolo Vannucci, a mechanical engineer at the University of Versailles claims the entire building could collapse if winds reach 55mph (88 km,/h). Before the fire, the stone structure was strong enough to cope with gusts of 136mph, reports the Arts Newspaper. The instability of the vaults has sparked major concern among experts that President Emmanuel Macron’s five-year target to restore Notre Dame could take too long. The spire, which was completely destroyed in the flames, also provided extra strength to the rest of the building, which it now has to do without, Mr Vannucci added. He stressed that strengthening and restoring the structural system of the cathedral should be the priority in the re-building process, which is being funded by multi-million pound donations from businessmen and philanthropists. On May 10 the French Parliament, the Assemblee Nationale, passed a special legislation about the reconstruction of Notre Dame. It is due to be passed by the Senate on May 27. Architect and former senior official at UNESCO Francesco Bandarin claims the bill does not address all the technical issues but will create a public body to oversee the process. https://voiceofeurope.com/2019/05/n...if-winds-in-paris-reach-55mph-engineers-warn/
What are they doing to him? They really don't want him to talk.....about their participation in the attempt to take down Trump.....either that or another example of the socialist state of "health care" in UK?! Julian Assange Now in Hospital Wing of British Prison, In Such Bad Shape That He Can’t Conduct Normal Conversations Swedish outlet Upsala Nya Tidning, reports that Assange is so ill that he is now in the hospital wing of the prison. “Wikileaks founder Julian Assange’s Swedish lawyer wants the arrest hearing on Monday in Uppsala to be postponed. According to the lawyer, who has now visited his client in British prison, Assange is admitted to the medical department and was unable to make a call,” the newspaper reports. Assange is currently imprisoned at Belmarsh Prison in the United Kingdom and facing eighteen charges under the Espionage Act in the United States for his publication of the Iraq and Afghan War Logs. If extradited and convicted, he is facing up to 175 years in prison. The award-winning publisher is under investigation in Sweden for sex crimes, which he and many of his supporters believe is a setup to get him into the nation where he could be more easily extradited to the United States. A hearing in the case is scheduled for June 3, and the Swedish courts have rejected postponing it over Assange’s health conditions. Sweden had tried to drop the investigation in 2013, but was pressured to keep it open by the British government — further fueling speculation that it is a political hit job. A Crown Prosecution Service had emailed Swedish prosecutors telling them, “Don’t you dare get cold feet!!!” “One of the reasons is that Assange’s health situation on Friday was such that it was not possible to conduct a normal conversation with him,” Assange’s Swedish defense lawyer Per Samuelson told Reuters. “I meant that it should be postponed until I had time to meet again and go through the issues in peace and quiet. I suggested no specific date and meant it should be postponed until everything was ready, but the district court has now decided that this won’t happen.” Prior to his arrest, Assange spent nearly seven years in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, unable to receive proper medical treatment, despite the lack of sunshine and fresh air taking a toll on his system. Doctor’s who visited him there wrote an article for the Guardian pleading for him to be allowed to go to the hospital for treatment, headlining their account “We examined Julian Assange, and he badly needs care — but he can’t get it.” The doctors wrote, “experience tells us that the prolonged uncertainty of indefinite detention inflicts profound psychological and physical trauma above and beyond the expected stressors of incarceration. These can include severe anxiety, pathological levels of stress, dissociation, depression, suicidal thoughts, post-traumatic stress disorder and chronic pain, among others.” A source close to Assange confirmed the reports about his health to The Gateway Pundit. “We have been watching the slow-motion assassination of Julian Assange. They have been choking him to death by tactical psyops, siege tactics, and wilful neglect as surely as if they placed a noose tied around his neck, not just in Belmarsh Prison but in the embassy as well. The only difference between his execution and someone on death row is the same as the difference between covert and overt warfare, which makes sense because the intelligence, judicial and military agencies who are carrying out his death sentence operate within the same power structure which carries out war. First came the smears (propaganda), then came the siege (sanctions), and they staged their coup (dragged him out of the embassy) and now they’ve got him in their clutches and they can do what they want behind closed doors. That’s how you kill a nation while still looking like a nice guy, and that’s how they’re killing Assange,” independent journalist Caitlin Johnstone wrote of his conditions. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/20...pe-that-he-cant-conduct-normal-conversations/
Interesting. So much information is hidden from the public, you really don't know what to believe any longer. UFO sightings by pilots have been going on for years, and now this. I always wondered about the Vatican observatory on Mt.Graham in Arizona manned by Jesuit astronomers. Why was this location selected; are they waiting for a cosmic event? I think there are many, many secrets and most likely we'll never know the truth. Anyhow, it is a fascinating subject.
I'd have more faith in medieval architects than modern engineers touting for a share of vast funding.
C.S. Lewis wrote several times of extraterrestrial life. He seemed to view the possibility quite benevolently, on the basis that, unlike Man, extraterrestrial intelligence would not have been involved in the Fall. Such a discovery would make the origin of life even more difficult to explain for the neo-Darwinists; one wildly improbable 'random' event is bad enough, but two or more?
I always thought that since God made so many stars He did not make them all simply as a Twinkle, Twinkle little star type decoration... Job 38-41 The Lord Speaks 38 Then the Lord spoke to Job out of the storm. He said: .....4 “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation? Tell me, if you understand. 5 Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know! Who stretched a measuring line across it? 6 On what were its footings set, or who laid its cornerstone— 7 while the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy?
I learned from a Protestant writer, in what I think was the Book of Wisdom (ironically a book of the Bible not recognised by the Protestants, but included in our original, Catholic version), that the words used indicate that the authors of Wisdom knew that the Pleiades was a constellation in which all its stars were collectively moving at the same speed and in the same direction, something our astronomers didn't discover until the 1960's.
More invitations to boycott: Disney's Iger: "Very Difficult" To Film In Georgia After Abortion Law Disney CEO Bob Iger said on Wednesday that if Georgia carries out the state's strict new abortion laws, telling Reuters that it would be "very difficult" for the company to continue filming in the state because "many people who work for us will not want to work there, and we will have to heed their wishes in that regard." On May 7th, Georgia governor Brian Kemp (R) signed into law banning abortion after a doctor can detect a fetal heratbeat, which occurs at approximately six weeks into pregnancy. If it survives court challenges, it will take effect on January 1st. If that happens, "I don’t see how it’s practical for us to continue to shoot there," said Iger. Of note, Disney filmed "Black Panther" and "Captain America: Civil War" in Georgia. In 2016, Disney and other major studies threatened to boycott the state if they were to strengthen protections for same-sex marriage opponents - a bill which passed through the state legislature, only to be vetoed by then Republican governor, Nathan Deal. Dozens of celebrities and producers have already committed to no longer working in Georgia over the abortion law, while others such as JJ Abrams' and Jordan Peele's production companies have said that they would remain in the state, but donate "100% of our respective episodic fees" from the current season of "Lovecraft Country" to the ACLU of Georgia. On Tuesday, Netflix said that they would have to "rethink our entire investment in Georgia" if the new law is enacted - however they will continue production there for now while working with groups opposing the legislation. The company films shows such as "Stranger Think" and "Ozark" in Georgia - the latter of which star Jason Batemen told The Hollywood Reporter he would no longer work in the state if the legislation survives court challenges. "We have many women working on productions in Georgia, whose rights, along with millions of others, will be severely restricted by this law," said Netflix chief content officer Ted Sarandos. "It’s why we will work with the A.C.L.U. and others to fight it in court. Given the legislation has not yet been implemented, we’ll continue to film there — while also supporting partners and artists who choose not to." https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019...ery-difficult-film-georgia-after-abortion-law
What about filming in Egypt. Moslems are very repressive to women but no celebrities are boycotting them. The hypocrisy meter is in the fire engine red zone!!
That's a load of horse hockey. There are enough talented people in Georgia (as well as other places) that Disney doesn't have to use only those workers that won't want to come to Georgia because of the law. There was an article I read earlier where California is proposing giving tax breaks to companies that move their production companies from states which are considering or have enacted restrictions on abortion, to California. Companies moving from places like New York wouldn't qualify. The article pointed out that even with all the talk, these are businesses we are talking about, and if they wanted to film in a state with an obscene number of labor laws and a high tax rate, they would have done so already. They moved to Georgia, Alabama, etc. in the first place because of lower taxes and labor costs. California is not going to be able to lower its tax rate enough to compensate for that, and if they try, expect a backlash from native California industries that WON'T be getting such a tax break.
Abortion, fair play to Egypt, is also illegal there. The guise of 'human rights' and 'civil liberties' with which Death Progressivism masks itself is increasingly being exposed to being that of a cult dedicated to the opposition of Christianity, and Christianity only. This is understandable as all other religions are, to varying extents, the handiwork of the devil and he does not hesitate to use them in his battle against us. Disney. Made for children, made with children, supporting the killing of children.
Disney has been promoting a homo agenda for quite awhile, as well. You are correct that Christians are increasingly opposed, from the upper echelons to the lower local level. I am experiencing it.
