GM potatoes are meant to be bruise resistant, isn’t this a big benefit to farmers and food producers? Normal potatoes easily develop damaged tissues that are entry points for pathogens and exit points for water. I believed that the GM potatoes were bruise resistant but now understand I was wrong. The GM potatoes bruise just as easily as normal potatoes, but the bruises are concealed. They don’t develop the dark color that helps processors identify and trim them. I didn’t understand that my potatoes were incapable of depositing melanin, a protective compound, when damaged or infected. More importantly, I didn’t understand that the concealed bruises accumulate certain toxins that may compromise the nutritional quality of potato foods. Are the biotech traits in GM potatoes genetically stable? A trait is stable only if it fits in the natural environment of the plant genome. If it doesn’t fit, which is often the case with GM crops, the trait may get silenced or recombined. My ex-colleagues at Syngenta and Monsanto often told me about their (under-reported) problems with GM corn and soybean, but none of their crops were as unstable as the GM potatoes. Two of the potato traits have already been lost and several others appear to be weakening. Late blight resistance in GM potatoes has been sold as a major breakthrough, surely this is the case? Late blight is one of the very few plant diseases that speak to the imagination, mostly because it caused major famines in Europe that forced millions of Europeans to migrate to the United States. But that was in the 1840s. Late blight is not a big issue where most potatoes are grown in the United States, which is in the arid Northwest, and late blight represents a manageable issue in the minor, more humid potato growing regions. Farmers there would like to have access to late blight resistant potatoes, but they would still have to worry about dozens of other diseases and pests that can be equally harmful. My concern is that any attempt to promote the production of GM potatoes in humid regions (as vulnerable as Bangladesh and Indonesia) would actually increase rather than reduce disease issues. Furthermore, late blight is one of the most dynamic pathogens affecting agriculture. It is known to quickly evolve around any barrier to resistance. Therefore, the efficacy of a late blight resistance gene can never be guaranteed, and the resistance gene can be broken at any moment. In fact, some European and Middle American strains have already broken the resistance. Are GM potatoes less carcinogenic, as suggested by the GMO industry? I guess that many people will ask themselves: are potatoes carcinogenic? I don’t think there is any evidence for that. So, an even more interesting question is: why would GM potatoes be promoted as less carcinogenic? Do GM potatoes include a legally acquired gene? I mostly modified potatoes by using their own DNA. In other words, I used the DNA of a public variety to create a proprietary variety. This strategy may be ethically problematic but is legally acceptable. However, one of the genes that were used to create the GM potatoes is derived from a unique wild potato plant that grows in Argentina. I believe that the attainment and patenting of this gene without permission from Argentina was an act of biopiracy. Is it possible for GM potatoes to cause gene-silencing in other potatoes or pollinating insects such as bees? The problem with certain insects, including bees, is that they cannot degrade the small double-stranded RNAs that cause gene silencing. These double-stranded RNAs were intended to silence several potato genes in tubers, but they are likely to be expressed in pollen as well. So, when the pollen is consumed by bees, the double stranded RNAs in this pollen may silence bee genes that share inadvertent homology. Your new book Pandora’s Potatoes, which is available to the public for the first time this week, includes many points as to why the GM potatoes you helped create should not be grown by farmers or eaten by the public. What would you like to say to the FDA and EPA? The main problem about the current process for deregulation of GMO crops is that it is based on an evaluation of data provided by the developers of GMO crops. There is a conflict of interest. I propose that the safety of GMO crops is assessed by an independent group of scientists trained at identifying unintended effects. Where can people find your new book ‘Pandora’s Potatoes’? The book is now available on Amazon.
Is this the reason for so called "climate change"? Is that incoming system (Nemesis et al), as more captures of it are waking some to realize it's closer arrival, having the effect of its magnetic pull upon our poles....that system spoken of by Malachi Martin, and also mentioned in some contemporary prophecies/messages? Earth’s magnetic field is acting up and geologists don’t know why Erratic motion of north magnetic pole forces experts to update model that aids global navigation. Something strange is going on at the top of the world. Earth’s north magnetic pole has been skittering away from Canada and towards Siberia, driven by liquid iron sloshing within the planet’s core. The magnetic pole is moving so quickly that it has forced the world’s geomagnetism experts into a rare move. On 15 January, they are set to update the World Magnetic Model, which describes the planet’s magnetic field and underlies all modern navigation, from the systems that steer ships at sea to Google Maps on smartphones.

The report warned that satellite timing systems that govern electric grids could fail, causing a ripple effect that would shut off lights, computers and phones. Even flushing the toilet could become impossible.

Another one.....seems the Luz messages are being fulfilled in our midst! North America Is Rattling: Alaska's Suffered 81 Significant Quakes So Far In 2019 Something is happening to our planet. The mainstream media is not talking much about this, and the experts assure us that everything is going to be just fine, but the truth is that we have been witnessing an unusual amount of seismic activity all over the world. Up until just recently, most of the shaking has been elsewhere on the globe, and so it has been easy for most Americans to ignore. But now North America is rattling, and that isn’t going to be so easy to brush aside. In fact, 2019 has barely even gotten started and the state of Alaska has already been hit by 81 significant earthquakes… Alaska notoriously experiences a lot of seismic activity, and in the first nine days of 2019 has been shaken by 81 earthquakes of a magnitude 2.5 or higher according to the United States Geological Survey. Of these, five have been magnitude 4.5 or higher, with one reaching magnitude 6.1. This huge quake took place 54km south-southwest of Tanaga Volcano on January 5. Is this normal? No, of course it is not normal. And the heightened seismic activity that has been taking place all along the Ring of Fire is not normal either. Just ask the people that were devastated by the massive tsunami that just hit Indonesia. We live at a time when major Earth changes are taking place, and this has tremendous implications for all of us. In particular, the hundreds of millions of people that live along the perimeter of the Pacific Ocean need to understand that the Ring of Fire has entered a perilous new phase. If seismic activity continues to escalate, we could soon be talking about major disasters in which millions of people suddenly die. Sadly, I am not exaggerating about that one bit. Thankfully the southern coastline of Alaska is not heavily populated, because that is where one of the most dangerous subduction zones in the entire world is located… It is located along the notorious Ring of Fire, a horseshoe-shaped arc in the Pacific Ocean which joins the Pacific and North American plates. This area – where two of the Earth’s tectonic plates meet – is marked by zones known as subduction zones. And one of the fastest moving underwater tectonic faults is one which lies in southeastern Alaska according to the USGS. It is known as “the Denali Fault”, and it has even more destructive potential than the San Andreas Fault does. The following comes from Wikipedia… The Denali Fault is located in Alaska’s Denali National Parkand to the east. This National Park includes part of a massive mountain range more than 600 miles long. Along the Denali Fault, lateral and vertical offset movement is taking place (as evidenced by many earthquakes in the region). The steep north face of Denali, known as the Wickersham Wall, rises 15000 feet from its base, and is a result of this relatively recent movement. If you are wondering, the magnitude 7.0 earthquake that recently shook Anchorage did not happen along the Denali fault. But it was still the most destructive quake to hit Alaska in many years, and it really shook up many of those that live in the region. For example, ever since the earthquake happened one little girl will not go to sleep at night without a 100 pound pit bull tucked in right next to her… A little toddler is filmed tucking in her 100lbs pit bull after becoming so scared to sleep without him. Adalynn Leary became too scared to sleep without her ‘best friend and bodyguard’ since their home in Alaska was hit by a 7.0 magnitude earthquake. Her father Kyle Leary said that his daughter cuddles Fury as he helps ease her anxiety. Hopefully that pit bull is well trained, because we have all read about what they can do when they get upset about something. Anyway, it isn’t just Alaska that has been hit by unusual earthquakes lately. Earlier this week, the state of Mississippi was struck by a magnitude 3.7 earthquake… A 3.7 magnitude earthquake was reported in Hollandale, Mississippi around 4:30 p.m. Tuesday. Shaking was felt throughout Washington County, however, according to Emergency Management Division Manager David Burford, there have been no reports of any damage. “The ground shook, but not for long.” The earthquake was at a depth of 5 kilometers, which is very shallow. Earthquakes are not supposed to happen in Mississippi. And last month eastern Tennessee was hit by the largest earthquake that it had experienced in 45 years. Was that just another “coincidence”, or was it part of an overall trend that is emerging? Globally, we have seen major earthquakes of at least magnitude 6.0 hit Japan, Brazil, and Indonesia over the last several days. More “coincidences”? We have entered a period of time when earthquakes are striking in diverse places, and many believe that this is just the beginning. I understand that the mainstream media is completely obsessed with all things related to President Trump right now, but the changes that are happening to our planet are going to become a bigger and bigger story. And someday in the not too distant future an absolutely massive seismic event will hit a major population center, and at that point everything will begin to change. https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019...as-suffered-81-significant-quakes-so-far-2019
Another one....these reports seem to be appearing in many places now. Earth’s magnetic pole is on the move, fast. And we don’t know why Earth’s magnetic field is what allows us to exist. It deflects harmful radiation. It keeps our water and atmosphere in place. But now it’s acting up — and nobody knows why. Planet Earth is alive. Deep beneath its skin, its life blood — rivers of molten iron — pulse around its core. And this mobile iron is what generates the magnetic field that causes auroras — and keeps us alive. But, according to the science journal Nature, something strange is going on deep down below. It’s causing the magnetic North Pole to ‘skitter’ away from Canada, towards Siberia. “The magnetic pole is moving so quickly that it has forced the world’s geomagnetism experts into a rare move,” Nature reports. On January 30 (delayed due to the US Government shutdown), the World Magnetic Model — which governs modern navigation systems — is due to undergo an urgent update. This model is a vital component of systems ranging from geopositioning systems used to navigate ships through to smartphone trackers and maps. The current model was expected to be valid until 2020. But the magnetic pole began to shift so quickly, it was realised in 2018 that the model had to be fixed — now. “They realised that it was so inaccurate that it was about to exceed the acceptable (safe) limit for navigational errors,” Nature reports. FICKLE TIDES Every year, geophysicists from the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the British Geological Survey do a check on how the Earth’s magnetic field is varying. This is necessary as the liquid iron churning in the Earth’s core does not move in a consistent manner. “In 2016, for instance, part of the magnetic field temporarily accelerated deep under northern South America and the eastern Pacific Ocean,” Nature reports. This shift was captured by satellites. Earth has lines of magnetic force looping from North Pole to South Pole, creating Earth's protective magnetosphere. The straight line coming out of the North and South Poles represents Earth's axis of rotation. Source:Supplied 341c92307a6b19d25b38836c6097be9d
Far-Left 9th Circuit Rules Against Little Sisters of the Poor – Mandates They Pay for Contraceptives in Spite of Supreme Court Win! A California court has ruled against the Little Sisters of the Poor opening the door for other states to take away new religious freedom rules. Only in a far-left radical court could this happen. A court in California ruled against the Catholic nuns from Little Sisters of the Poor. This group of nuns is committed to helping poor people. They’ve dedicated their lives to helping the poor. However, with Obamacare, the government mandated that they provide abortion care to those who are under the employment of their order. So the nuns sued with the position that the Obamacare law discriminated against their religious freedom. The Supreme Court agreed with their position in May of 2016 – Today the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously protected the Little Sisters of the Poor from draconian government fines and recognized that the government does not need the Little Sisters to provide services such as the week after pill. The Court also noted the government finally admitted it could indeed meet its goals without involving the Little Sisters. In its decision, the Supreme Court held that after its unprecedented call for supplemental briefing that the lower courts should again review the cases. “All we have ever wanted to do is serve the neediest among us as if they were Christ himself,” said Sister Loraine Marie Maguire, Mother Provincial for the Little Sisters of the Poor. “We look forward to serving the elderly poor for another 175 years to come.” On October 6, 2017, Health & Human Services issued a new rule with an updated, broad religious exemption that finally protected religious non-profits like the Little Sisters of the Poor, a group of Catholic nuns who care for the elderly poor. In its new rule, the government admitted that it broke the law by trying to force the Little Sisters and others to provide services like the week-after-pill in their health plans that violated their religious beliefs. That result should mean that the end is near for the Little Sisters’ lawsuit. However, following the new mandate announcement, the state of California sued the federal government to take away the Little Sisters’ religious exemption. California admits that it has many of its own programs to provide contraceptives to women who want them. California never filed suit over the much larger secular exemptions created by the Obama Administration for big corporations—exemptions that applied to tens of millions more people than the religious exemption. California’s own mandate does not even apply to the Little Sisters of the Poor. And California has not identified a single actual person who had contraceptive coverage but will lose it because of this new rule. Despite all this, California asked a judge to find that the Little Sisters should be forced to comply with the federal mandate (not a state mandate) or pay tens of millions of dollars of government fines. On November 21, 2017, Becket intervened on behalf of the Little Sisters of the Poor in California and Pennsylvania. Becket has argued all along that the government has many ways to provide services to women who want them as well as protect the Little Sisters. Neither the federal government nor the state governments need nuns to help them give out contraceptives. On December 12, the Little Sisters argued in an Oakland, California district court for their right to participate in the case and receive protection from government fines. On December 29, the court granted their motion to intervene in the case. In January 2018, the Little Sisters appealed to the Ninth Circuit to overturn a federal judge’s decision to invalidate the new HHS rule protecting the Sisters. On April 9, Becket filed its brief explaining why the states have no right to challenge this regulation, and why the new regulation is required by law and the 2016 Supreme Court order in Zubik v. Burwell. Oral argument took place on October 19, 2018. On November 7, 2018 the government issued a new rulefinalizing its exemption protecting religious ministries. On December 13, 2018, the Ninth Circuit ruledagainst HHS’s interim exemption and allowed California to continue its fight against the Little Sisters. The Ninth Circuit ruling did not address the final HHS rules. The 9th Circuit gang of far-left crazy judges ignore the Constitution and now Supreme Court Rulings. A group of nuns who give their lives helping the poor should never have been mandated by an illegal law to pay for contraception. It’s time for Obama and his cronies to leave them alone! https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/20...contraceptives-in-spite-of-supreme-court-win/
First Look at 'Roe v. Wade' Film Featuring Jon Voight as a Supreme Court Justice The film was shot in secret and some teaser video will be shown at a pro-life rally in Washington this weekend. A new pro-life film, Roe v. Wade, was shot in secret because filmmakers worried about backlash from pro-choice activists. The project, currently in postproduction, is now unveiling a three-minute teaser that is set to debut at the March for Life 2019 event this weekend in Washington, D.C. The teaser opens with a scene featuring Oscar-winning actor Jon Voight, who plays U.S. Supreme Court Justice Warren Burger in the film, then cuts to modern-day news reports about Justice Brett Kavanaugh, including speculation that his appointment by President Donald Trump to the Supreme Court will "flip" the Roe v. Wade decision from the 1970s that basically legalized abortion. Nick Loeb, who produced, co-wrote and co-directed Roe v. Wade, says the comparisons between what is being said now about Kavanaugh and was said when Roe v. Wade was re-argued in the early 1970s after a few President Richard Nixon appointees were on the court are strikingly familiar. "Everyone is saying Kavanaugh is going to flip the decision and the same thing was said in 1972. There's actually a lot of parallels between then and now," Loeb told The Hollywood Reporter. Loeb is pro-life and is famously involved in a legal battle with ex-girlfriend Sofia Vergara, who co-stars as Gloria Pritchett in Modern Family, over frozen embryos the former couple produced. Loeb shot Roe v. Wade under an assumed title last year because he had trouble lining up shooting locations, extras and other local workers when he was upfront about the title and pro-life bent of the movie. He even lost a director and other key staffers once they realized the movie did not favor the pro-choice side of the argument. Loeb just recently reached out to potential distributors but expects a theatrical release for the film this year. Also in the teaser video is Corbin Bernsen as Justice Harry Blackmun, Steve Guttenberg as Justice Lewis Powell, William Forsythe as Justice Potter Stewart, John Schneider as Justice Byron White and Robert Davi as Justice William Brennan. Other castmembers in the video include Joey Lawrence, Jamie Kennedy and Stacey Dash, who plays Dr. Mildred Jefferson, the cofounder of the National Right to Life Committee and the first African-American woman to graduate from Harvard Medical School. Norma McCorvey (Jane Roe) is played by newcomer Summer Joy Campbell. Loeb also has a role, as Dr. Bernard Nathanson, who ran one of the largest abortion facilities in the world before becoming a pro-life activist and narrator of the controversial 1984 movie, The Silent Scream. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/n...jon-voight-as-a-supreme-court-justice-1175537

What The Effects Would Be Like If And When This Takes Place: Magma Under Yellowstone Supervolcano Is "Rising", Scientists Warn An Eruption Would Devastate The Planet All over the world seismic activity has been increasing in recent years, and this process seems to have accelerated during the early days of 2019. In particular, quite a few once dormant volcanoes are springing to life again, and this has many concerned about what could potentially happen at Yellowstone. Of course Yellowstone has never been “dormant”, but there have been new signs of life over the past six months. Entirely new geysers have sprung out of the ground, Steamboat Geyser has been the most active that it has been in decades, and some geysers have even been shooting “debris and rocks” into the sky. And now we are being told that “a 465-mile-long piece of molten rock” is “rising” directly under Yellowstone… SCIENTISTS are closely monitoring a 465-mile-long piece of molten rock rising below the Yellowstone caldera, a bombshell documentary has revealed. The supervolcano, located in Yellowstone National Park, has erupted three times in history – 2.1 million years ago, 1.2 million years ago and 640,000 years ago. Volcanoes typically blow when molten rock, known as magma, rises to the surface following the Earth’s mantle melting due to tectonic plates shifting. However, geologists have revealed how Yellowstone’s magma chamber, which sits on top of the magma plume, is slowly rising each year. Hopefully nothing major will happen at Yellowstone for a very long time. But experts assure us that another full-blown eruption will take place one day, and when it does, it could potentially create a global “volcanic winter” which would make growing crops almost impossible and ultimately cause horrific global famines. The following quote comes from Dr. Christopher Kilburn… “As a result of which, the amount of sunlight reaching the surface of the earth drops and, as a consequence of that, it will trigger what is called a volcanic winter in that the temperatures never get a chance to recover. “So you go through winter, the ash veil prevents the sun from warming up the earth seasonally so you just get continued winters which might trigger, ultimately, extensive ice coverage.” If Yellowstone were to erupt today, none of our lives would ever be the same again from that moment on. We are talking about a disaster that is on a scale that most of us couldn’t even imagine, and it would instantly render most of the country completely uninhabitable. The following is an extended excerpt from one of my previous articles about Yellowstone… I would like to try to describe for you what a full-blown eruption of the Yellowstone supervolcano would mean for this country. Hundreds of cubic miles of ash, rock and lava would be blasted into the atmosphere, and this would likely plunge much of the northern hemisphere into several days of complete darkness. Virtually everything within 100 miles of Yellowstone would be immediately killed, but a much more cruel fate would befall those that live in major cities outside of the immediate blast zone such as Salt Lake City and Denver. Hot volcanic ash, rock and dust would rain down on those cities literally for weeks. In the end, it would be extremely difficult for anyone living in those communities to survive. In fact, it has been estimated that 90 percent of all people living within 600 miles of Yellowstone would be killed. Experts project that such an eruption would dump a layer of volcanic ash that is at least 10 feet deep up to 1,000 miles away, and approximately two-thirds of the United States would suddenly become uninhabitable. The volcanic ash would severely contaminate most of our water supplies, and growing food in the middle of the country would become next to impossible. In other words, it would be the end of our country as we know it today. The rest of the planet, and this would especially be true for the northern hemisphere, would experience what is known as a “nuclear winter”. An extreme period of “global cooling” would take place, and temperatures around the world would fall by up to 20 degrees. Crops would fail all over the planet, and severe famine would sweep the globe. In the end, billions could die. Scientists are constantly monitoring Yellowstone for potential signs of an eruption, but the truth is that a major disaster of this magnitude would probably come with little or no warning. It is undeniable that in recent months there have been signs of increased activity at Yellowstone. That doesn’t mean that an eruption is imminent, but without a doubt it should be a cause for concern. And this is especially true considering all of the shaking that we are seeing elsewhere around the globe. Just within the past few days we have seen a magnitude 4.1 earthquake hit California and a magnitude 5.1 earthquake near Anchorage, Alaska. The latter one definitely shook a lot of people up… Residents took to earthquake monitoring site EMSC to share their experiences. One said: “Long and big. Significant anxiety spike! Another added: “That was scary. Hard quake.” We are not even to the middle of January, and there have already been more than 100 significant earthquakes in Alaska so far this year. That is not normal. Our planet appears to be going through some major changes, and many believe that all of this seismic activity is an indication that things are about to become quite apocalyptic. I am personally of the opinion that we are going to continue to see a rise in the number of earthquakes and that we are going to continue to see a rise in the number of volcanic eruptions. As I have said before, the shell of our planet is cracked, and we are just floating on the pieces. Now those pieces appear to be getting increasingly unstable, and that is going to affect us in ways that most people cannot even imagine right now. https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019...volcano-rising-scientists-warn-eruption-would
I said this on the forum before. I had a very powerful strange experience at Yellowstone in 2005. I had never been there before. I had no preconceived ideas about It. I didn't realize it was a caldera! I just don't thought it was a cool place with geysers and buffalo. I was st as nding there soaking it in and suddenly felt raw fear. I KNEW it was exceedingly dangerous and I had to get out of there right that minute. Overpowering. Reading g about it when we got home I found out it was an "extinct" volcano. Scientists were sure it wouldn't erupt again at least not for m.ilennia. I told my husband my experience there and that I thought it was a place of great danger. A few years later scientists began to be concerned.
I had a similar experience back around 2001. I spent a week there camping and fishing and seeing the various sights and the entire time I had a very foreboding feeling that I could not ignore. It even disturbed my sleep. I can understand why the Indian tribes steered clear of the place. I camped in a tent there. I had of course a rather large pistol in the event of bears but it wasn't very comforting considering the constant warnings by the park officials regarding them. One night, I woke to something pushing in the side of the tent and then releasing it. I laid there quiet as a church mouse, it took quite some time to get back to sleep. In the morning I found hundreds of elk tracks all around our tent. One must have been walking by and leaned against it in the night. I didn't sleep well.
Israel, in Rare Admission, Confirms Strike on Iranian Targets in Syria 1/13/2019 https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/13/world/middleeast/israel-iran-strike-syria-tunnels.html *** A super blood moon will be visible in late January. (The Associated Press. ) January's 'super blood Moon' eclipse will be visible to millions: Where and how to watch the rare event 1/14/2019 Fox News Millions of people across the world will witness a partially red-tinted night sky as a rare celestial event arrives this weekend: a "super wolf blood Moon" eclipse. North America hasn't had a decent view of this special scene in at least three years and another total lunar eclipse — which occurs when the entire Moon enters Earth’s shadow — isn't expected to happen again until 2021, NASA predicts. “There is a little less than one total lunar eclipse per year on average. A lunar eclipse can only happen during a full moon when the Moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun," Walter Freeman, an assistant teaching professor in the Physics Department at Syracuse University, said in an emailed statement to Fox News. "But the Moon's orbit is tilted a little bit compared to the Earth's, so usually when the Moon is full, the Earth's shadow passes a little bit above or a little bit below it. This is why we don't have a lunar eclipse every month.” RARE 'SUPER BLOOD MOON' ECLIPSE TO PUT ON STUNNING DISPLAY IN JANUARY: WHAT TO KNOW The 2019 total lunar eclipse will last approximately 1 hour and 2 minutes, Space.com reports. It will kick off around 11:41 p.m. ET on Jan. 20 and peak around 12:16 a.m. ET on Jan. 21. “The Moon won't be completely invisible during the period of totality when the Earth's shadow completely covers it! A little bit of sunlight is refracted by the Earth's atmosphere and reaches the Moon, bending around the edges of the Earth. This small amount of red light still illuminates the Moon enough for us to see it. Instead of being bright and white, the Moon will be very dim and red, ten thousand or so times dimmer than usual; people call this a ‘blood Moon,'" Freeman explained. "Instead of being bright and white, the Moon will be very dim and red, ten thousand or so times dimmer than usual..."— Walter Freeman Here's what you need to know ahead of the big lunar phenomenon. Who will be "front row center"? The total lunar eclipse will begin at 11:41 p.m. ET on Jan. 20 and peak around 12:16 a.m. ET on Jan. 21. (NASA) North and South America and portions of western Europe and Africa will be able to see the rusty-colored Moon overnight from Jan. 20 to Jan. 21. Central and eastern Africa and Asia will only be able to see a partial eclipse of the Moon during this time, according to Time and Date. The U.S. East Coast will definitely have the "best seats" when it comes to viewing the upcoming super blood Moon eclipse. In this part of the country, the Moon is expected to "climb to extraordinary heights," Space.com says. According to the space sight, the Moon will rise even higher in the south, particularly around Orlando and Miami. And in a portion of Cuba, it will be "directly overhead," according to Space.com. How can I watch it? Unlike solar eclipses, which require special equipment to view the astrological event, you don't need anything to spot this celestial event. Simply make sure you're at a dark spot and possibly pack some binoculars if you really want a clearer picture. Also, remember to give yourself some extra time before the eclipse is slated to take place. It takes about 20 minutes for your eyes to adjust to the darkness. "We can get really good science out of what happens to the surface of the moon during total lunar eclipses but again, the cool thing is that the moon changes color," Noah Petro, a research scientist at the Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland, previously told Space.com. "It's something fun to see — it's benign, but it's a change. And anytime we see change in the skies it's always kind of exciting." However, it is possible bad weather could impact your view. Forecasters are warning of a new, gathering system that could soon bring a wintry mess to the Northeast. NEW WINTER STORM THREAT LOOMS EVEN AS SYSTEM THAT CLOSED FEDERAL OFFICES IN DC MOVES AWAY "The West Coast is now in line for a very active week with widespread heavy rain bringing localized flooding and heavy mountain snow," Fox News Senior Meteorologist Janice Dean said on Jan. 14. That activity out west will then set the pattern for a potential return of wintery precipitation across the Midwest — and into parts of the Northeast that have been spared snow so far this year, Dean warned. Fox News' Travis Fedschun contributed to this report. PS - I have not watched one of Steve Cioccolanti's videos in a long while now but this one popped up as "Up next" a few minutes ago and since it is related to the Fox News article above I have posted it here. It is also very well done and includes a short summary of some of President Trump's accomplishments from the past two years.
The video with Steve Cioccalanti was really well done. He makes it quite obvious that Australia could use a Donald Trump to clean up their government. Also, Cioccalanti is very much aware of signs in the heavens and numerology as taught by the ancient Jews. I really like him! Thanks, Carol.
Looks like May struck out with her Brexit deal. http://www.reuters.com/article/us-b...shed-by-230-votes-in-parliament-idUSKCN1P90OU

The powers that be did not want Brexit in the first place so have tried everything to frustrate the will of the people. May will go down in History as the worst Prime Minister in British History. This was the greatest defeat of a government in the History of the British Parliament and is an utter embarrassment. May did not really believe in Brexit hence the mess. Just shows you the mess that can be created when you do something half-heartedly. There will be a second referendum. People will vote to remain. And the legacy will be a divided nation and perhaps even anger will spill into the streets. The irony is that the EU is in an economic and political mess -- now was a great time to leave. But it looks like the situation will be manipulated so that Britain remains. This is proof that democracy does not work.
Guam Catholic Church enters bankruptcy amid sex abuse claims https://www.staradvertiser.com/2019...urch-enters-bankruptcy-amid-sex-abuse-claims/ Guam’s Catholic Church filed for bankruptcy Wednesday, a move that will allow the archdiocese to avoid trial in dozens of child sexual abuse lawsuits and enter settlement negotiations.
Well my diocese declared bankruptcy a few months ago as well, from all its homosexual priest scandals. And today, they turn their focus to social justice causes (only) as a way of gaining salvation. Very little, to no, teachings on doctrines and the liturgy, but ripe with entertaining in some churches, which is all about the Hispanic beating their guitars, drums, electric organs etc... within the sanctuary of the Church pounding for hours on end during the weekends.
